TnE COVE RNMESr STABLE.-Thc
Pt.sburg Post says: The new stables
cftSo White House are 10 by so feet,
two stories in height, with Mansard
roof. Their interior and exterior ap,
pointments are said to surpass even
those of Robert Bonner's famous es.
tablishment Their cost was nearly
$4,000 No appropriation whatever
Tor such an end has been made.
Every day of work upon them has
been in deliberate violation Of the
law which requires specific grants OF
money for specific OBJECTS. Worse
than this, the $4,000 has been taken
from the funds appropriated by Con
gress for the new State Department.
When n South Carolina carpet bagger
lobies u loan of a million dollars to
somo railroad, and steals part of it for
bis own use, we call il theft. When
the President of the United States
builds his stables with part of the
money ordered by Congress to be
spent on tho State Department, he
comes dangerously near initiating the
men whom he keeps in power at tho
South. The plea that he did not
mean TO do wrong, if true. is no ex'
cusc, The Executive should be ncith.
CIR the w,making nor law w-breaking
power Unfortunately the present
Executive is both.

D,pendtug on a Hrokem Reed.

Forncy's Press says the Ring is
thoroughly and completely demoral-
lied. They give up tho fight in tho
State, and depend altogether upon
fraud in Philadelphia and the pur-
chase of Democratic election officers.
These they say have always been at
their command, which is probably
not altogether false.
1t is true that under the provisions
of tho Infamous regisly law, which al
lowed Radical Aldermen to say who
the Democratec election officers should
be in every election district Of Pbila.
dclphia, that incompetent and purch.
asablc parties were appointed. This
was with tho deliberate intention OF
committing frauds, and was so success
fnl that Asa Packer was deliberately
counted out in Philadelphia, after re.
cciving votes enough to elect him.
Prominent Republicans in that city
do not pretend to deny that such was
the case. The registry law was so
amended last winter as to give to the
Democratic members Of. the Board OF
Aldermen the right 10 name the men
who are to be appointed as Democrat.

will be DO difficulty in securing the

of tho ring will not be able agaiu %

An APPROPRIATE SUPPORTER. Fred

North Carolina.

Ia North Carolina tho regular
election for State and county officers
took place on Thursday, the lst ol
August. The State was claimed fol
Grant by every Radical journalist and
orator, and conceded TO him by the
Democrats. But the returns indicate
that tho Democrats have swept the
state, electing their Governor by about
5000 majority, six of the eight Con
grssmen and largo majority of the
Legislature, thus securing United
States Senator in tho room Of tho car
pet. baggcr Pool. oFr
This result has stricken terror into
tho Grant ranks, and il not suddenly
checked will cause stampede in "thc
bread and butter brigade" if not q
Bull Bun riot. 1t is reported that
Judge Tom. Settle, tho President ol
tho late Philadelphia Convention who
was one Of the Grant nominees iol
Congress, has been defeated, by Leach
Democrat. If this is so, another first
class demagoguc is shelved and Settle
will be settled for all time.
In 1868 the Radical candidate for
Governor of North Carolina was elect.
cd by a majority of 1851, and Grant
received a majority of 1916. -Four
years of Radical rule have worked q
complete political revolution.
