Senator Morton is reported as say
ing that the Senate Committee will, IN
a few days, report an amendment OF
the Constitution for the election OF
the President by the people direct; and
he believes it will pass this Congress,
in time for it to so to the different
State Legislatures for ratification next
fall.
The proposed amendment provides
that for President and Nice-President
the people shall vote by States-tirst
by the State at large for its two Sena-
torial votes, and next in each Con-
gressional district, thereby preserving
the existing weight of the State i'll
choosing the officers above named,
which would be lost by direct vote
of the people, to the detriment OF the
smaller States. The plurality rule is
also to be substituted for the majority
rule throughout
The proposed change is favored by
eAI Observation-Disclosures, dlei tilcI CIct =
may be viewed with distrust. But,
after all, it matters very little what
may be the mode prescribed for the
election Of Presidents in future, as
the probabilities are that III 4 short
time the people VII have little voice
either IL the selection of their rulers
or in the laws by which they are TO be
governed

OREGON.

The election for State officers takes
place in Oregon tomorrow. A Rep
resentatlve in Congress is to be
elected. The Democratic candidate
for Governor is Lafayette Grover.
J.. G. Tolman is the Republican candi-
date, and Thomas F. Campbell the
Independent candidate.
General Grant carried Oregon in the
last Presidential election, by 1902,
owing to the Democratic blunder at
Baltimore, but in a subsequent cleo
ton to fill a vacancy caused by the
death of the Republican member, Mr..
Nesmith, the Democratic candidate
defeated his Radical opponent by ovel
1000 votes.
The fact that the Congressman from
o 'cnc1 will he the first member elect
ed to the Forty-fourth Congress gives
this election some significance. The
candidates are George A. La Dow
Democrat, Richard Williams, Repub
lican, and Timothy W. Davenport, In
dependent.
We look for fitting response frcn
Oregon to the glorious Democratic
triumphs in New Hampshire and Con
necticut,

S-TA1D BY TszE NOMINEES

It is a matter for honest pride al
for lust congratulation that our part,
has, been so fortunate in its variOu
nominations.
\ good nomination is half the cam
paign, for men fight with vigor ant
spirit and life when they know thei
leaders are worthy of confidence. Ii
our own districts under the lead c
WADDELL, McKoY and NoRAIENr ant
in those above us under The lead o
AsHE, FULLER and PEMBERToN, oul
Conservative frie nds have the amples
inducements to labor earnestly anG
zealously until election day has passed
Stand by the nominees then should bt
the cry from every true Conservative
Entertaining the views we do as tc
the necessity of full triumph Of the
Conservative party to bring peace and
quiet, plenty and prosperity once more
to our land, we look upon it as q
matter of duty and conscience to stand
by the nominees of our party. If we
can not find political safety and saliva
ton in the ranks of our own, then we
know not where to find it. 1t may be
that at times the action of our party,
III some respect, is not in full accord
with the policy which to us would seem
most expedient to adopt, and it may
be at times that our conclusions i'll
this regard are very strong. But what
of that Is not cur party with ali its
faults, if faults it has, incomparably
better than that of the enemy
Can y q desert our friend and join
the enemy? Can we be neutral "a
deed what is neutrality? Is il not
true that Just to the extent we with
hold from our friends the aid at our
command, we give comfort and success
to the enemy? When the lines are
drawn are we not obliged to stand by
the nominees
The only party that holds to lis any
hope of redeeming our State from the
tiralldom of Radical rule IS the party
10 WHICH We DSlObC. VI . stlii i<-ouiOii
and discipline and concert of action
are as essential to the success Of pO-
litical party as they arc essential to
the success Of an enemy. There is
nothing truer than that house divided
against itself cannot stand. We must
all pull together, or we shall accom-
plish nothing.
We beg that every Conservative III
the State will seriously ask himself
how he can conscientionsly refuse to
vote for the nominee of the party
without contributing to its down fall
If he can find no way to refuse to vote
for the nominees of his party without
contributing to its disorganization and
decentralization, we beg then that he
will seriously ask himself as a white
man and as a North Carolinian if it
be not his sacred duty to do all in his !
power to root cut Radicalism from the |
State, even though it be at the sacri- |
fee of his better judgment and per
sonal preference Ii these matters be
thoroughly considered, there need be
no fear that our friends will not stand
by the nominees.

Commenting on the passage of the
Civil Rights or social equality bill by
the Sen tie, the Louisville Ledger says:
8" 1t would seem that the demon of
Radicalism will never be satisfied shoYt
of an utter mongrelization Of the coun-
try. Measures which look to- the finan-
cial relief of the country, and the pro-
lection OF the laboring masses of the
West and South from the despotism of
New England capital, are allowed to
slumber and die /; while the most out
rageous schemes which have for their
object the degradation of white men 10
the political and sociallevet of the ne
gro are pressed with desiiish pertina-
city. 1t is well that Radicals should
exert themselves to do their worst now,
for the time oe their departure from
power is at hand"

it is not too much to expect that the
time will come when the Army OF the
Potomac and the Army of Northern
Virginia will meet together, each to
celebrate the others valor, and to ex-
change the tokens of respect which
the brave endurance of each won from
the other.
