As OTHERS SEE If.

There seem to be two things, and
| they are both important in the highest
degree too, upon which the Democratic
Party is just now, not of one mind
| The first is the platform. to be laid
down at the ST. Louis Con vention, and
the other is the man who is to stand
upon it. So far as the Northern por-
| ton Of the party is concerned, let the
| question taxi what shape it may, it re-
solves itself into contest between the
advocates of hard money and the advo-
Gates of soft money. With the South
the case is different. What we want
| is a Democratic President. Whether he
be in favor of hard money or whether
he prefers soft money and imitation is
not now material to us. The "slate" that
relies upon New York and the eastern
States is hard money"slate" and that
which relies upon Indiana and Ohio is
soft money 'slate." Indeed Judging
from the hard money resolutions res
!! ported by the majority of the commit
tee to the Ohio convention the other
day, an Ohiohard money man could very
easily pass muster as a most respecta
BILE soft money man any where in the
East. We may take it for granted
that the Western States are soft
money States and this being SO they
very naturally do not give adherence
to the slate that puts the party and
the government, if the slate be Sue
cessful. into the hands of the hard
money States. There are two sides to
every story and the following is the
Western side. It is taken from the
indianapolis Sentinel
1.-THE trouble comes out of the fact
that in the Ohio contest of 1875, when
Curtin and Clymer, from Pennsylvania,
and Cassius NJ. Clay and Beck, of Ken
lucky, and Hendricks and Mcdonald,
of Indiana, aud many others, rushed
into the front OF the fight, no fraternal
sentiment, no encouraging voice from
Gov Tilden, and his special and per-.
sonal supporters came to the support
of the Ohio Democracy; but rather
their influence was felt in the support
of the Republican party in that tre-
mendo1s contest-at least the Demo-
Gratis SO thought. Had Gov. Allen
been reelected, Pennsylvania would
certainly nave followed, and the presi-
dental contest of 1876 and would now
be substantially settled, and the coun-
try assured of reform, economy aud
the protection of the constitutional
rights of all the States. If, now, be
cause of this, thousands of Democrats
can not be persuaded to vote for Gov
Tilden, is it altogether their fault ?
The fact seems to be recognized, and
therefore the Tilden movement pro-
poses to throw these States out of the
calculation.
But upon this policy can a Demo
cratic President be elected? The
ventr . is too great to be made. In
diana and Ohio vote in October. If
both be lost, can we hope to carry
New York or New Jersey? The
country was taught two lessons in 1872
in respect to the influence. of elections
upon those which follow. Until the
Republicans were able to claim North
Carolina in that year, they were des-
pendent and the Democrats confident.
Within twenty-four hours after the
result YVES known the currents changed.
Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1876-06-02

Ind the election of Gen. Grant was
settled. The loss of Ohio and Penn,
sylvania and the drawn battle in Indi-
ana in October made New York, New
jersey, Connecticut and New Hamp-
shire sure for Grant in Noyem-
Der by large majorities. 1t is
folly-it is madness now to expect
like influences to be. followed by
different consequences. 1t is the part
of wisdom to recog lie the fact that
the candidate who carries either one
of the States of Ohio or Indiana in
October will carry New York, Connec-
t1cut and New Jersey in November,
and that the candidate who will lose
beth of these States in October will
lose the others in November. If,
however, the Presidential election
must turn upon carrying particular
States, which is the more reliable
State. New York or Indiana ? Under
the adverse influences of 1872, Gov.
Hendricks carried Indiana IN October,
but New York candidates lost New
York in November by immense major
tiles. In the last election in Indiana
the Democrats carried the entire State
ticket by an average vote of 1900,
and at the last election in New York
the State WIS carried by but IA, 600"

"Too much stress cannot be laid

''Too much stress cannot be laid
upon the certainty that if the Democ.
racy should by any chance obtain com
plete control of the National Govern.
ment, the policy pursued by the
majority of the present House would
then prevail in all the Departments.
This prospect is frightful."
So says the Washington National
Republican; And that is just what is
the matter. To the average Radical
offce-holder, whether Federal or
State. there is nothing SO ''frightful''
as the prospect of retrenchment and
reform under q Democratic admins
tration. The Republican is right in
thinking that when the Democrats
gain complete control of the National
Government the policy of the present
Democratic House of Representatives
will prevail in all Departments of the
Government. And that policy is re-
trenchment and reform in all things.

The Washington City correspondent
of the Baltimore american says the
information telegraphed from Wash
ington by the General Press Agent
that J. Don Cameron, nominated by
President Grant to be Secretary of
War, is holding the appointment un der
advisement, sis regarded here as a
joke worthy OF Cameron, The ar
rangement for the youthful scion of
the Pennsylvania Senator to enter the
Cabinet has been known to him and a
faithful few for the past week. He
has no intention of declining the place,
and will enter the Cabinet with firm
determination to, first, look out for tho
Camerons; second, the residents of
Pennsylvania, and third, though by no
means the least, the manipulation of
his brother delegates to Cincinnati, SO
as to hand them over (f he CAM hand
and foot at the bidding of the one in
whose interest he has bargained away
his influence"

The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle "sin-
cerely hopes" that the Southern dele.
gates to St. Louis will combine to de-
feat the nomination of Governor Til
den. We agree with the Richmond
Enquirer iii hoping the Southern del
egates will do such thing. IF Tilden
is the strongest man let us have him,
and not otherwise. But it is not nec-
essary fer the Southern delegates to
make combinations, and neither North
Carolina nor Virginia delegates, we
are sure, will be parties to any. All
that we ask is that the delegates to st..
Louis will get all the information pos
sible in regard to the Presidential sit
uation and then act upon their best
judgment. We are opposed to any
combination affecting the nomination
of any particular Democratic candi-
date save that which has for it's pur-
pose the selection of the very strongest
ticket possible.

Bristow was a Colonel in the late
''unpleasantness' The eighth Ken,
lucky Cavalry including Parson
Pentecost had the honor to be under
his command and now the day of PEN.
tecost has come and he is printing
what he knows about Bristow as a
''bold soger man." The Parson says
BristOw was death on suttlers and 'sich"
and very strict disciplinarian. He
even put the Parson under arrest one
day for falling out of ranks, saving it
might be excused in private but not
in an officer. Bully for Bristow.
One thing, however, Pentecost has
failed to tell US and the world wishes
to know about it too. Pentecost has
not said whether Bristow thought the
colored troops fought nobly. Now
Bristow's views on this question are
very material, seeing that it is charged
that he left Pentecost and the war be-
cause negroes were made soldiers.
And just here the question arises,
does not a President have as much use
for parson as the colonel of a cavalry
regiment Z? 1t looks So, and if Grant
has his Newman why may not Bristow
have his Pentecost ?

private bank account after he entered
the Cabinet. In one month he de-

that the position of Secretary of the

most profitable empIoyments known to
mankind. That Robson should be

of the human heart-1ot entirely sell
fish-and more SO when they are drift
ing along in the world without a guide.
When the Western & Atlantic rail-
road train reached here last night
shortly after ten o'clock, two small
children were lifted out by ConiuctoE
Moore, with a hand as teader As a
woman's, while his eyes. softened il
commiseration of their condition. One
was boy about years of age, who
had haversack on nearly reaching TO
his feet. The other was a girl some
year or so older than her brother.
Upon their necks were the following
printed placards:

Pulpit Topics To-Day.

The advent of the evangelists Moody and
Sankey to our city tomorrow has given DIR.
Rogers an opportunity to defend and speak
well of those who have turned the world up
side down, and has more or less influenced
the topics that will be considered by other
pastors to-day DIR. Tying, Jr., will illus
trate the practical wisdom of winning souls
and of answering the Saviour's knock
at the sinners heart, and Mr.. Lloyd
will demand an answer from his i'm
penitent hearers how long they intend to
halt and hesitate ere they accept in their
hearts the love of Christ, which passeth
knowledge. But the preaching of Moody
and the singing of Sankey will be powerless
for good unless the Spirit is poured out upon
Lightbourn will urge his people TO more ear
nest, fervent prayer for this blessing. Without
the promised gift and presence of the Holy
Ghost, as Mr. Hepworth will demonstrate,
men have no right to expect or hope for
mercy; but with Him they can have both
mercy and oneness with Christ The most
important question that sinner can ask
What must L do to be saved will be an
swered to-day by Mr. Pullman, and those
who are interested in knowing what
to do :. in such case should be on
hand Mr. Leavell will talk about
Jesus and about the Office of deacons, and
Mr.. Johns will show the nature and adyan-
tages of close communion-a topic that it
may be of interest to Baptists to. know what
a Methodist thinks about it. Mr.. Gusts
believes, and will so prove this evening, that
the sinner goes to hell at his own charges or
of his own free choice, and not through any
tyrannical law of God pressed against him.
Mr. Egbert will discuss phases of popular
scepticism Mr.. Merritt will draw spiritual
lessons from the barren fig tree of the
Gospel, Mr.. Rowell will prove that piety
has real pleasures and plenty of them,
and that forgetfulness in certain events
is a crime, and Messrs. Goodwin and
Crapsey will give a sketch of the
life and labors of st. Ignatius, the compan-
ion of the apostle and the friend of st. John.
DIR. Armitage is running through patri-
archal and Jewish history with his people,
and to-day he will spiritualize the golden
and brazen affairs and Noahs dove and pre-
sent their symbolical meaning. Mr.. Giles
will tell us what the tree of knowledge of
good and evil is and why eating of its fruit
causes death. Mr.. Mccarthy will consider
the excarnation of the Divine Son and pur-
gatory. Mr.. Seitz will show how and wherein
economy is means of culture and Mr.. Null
ford will talk about reforms and reformers.
