MACKENZIE is across the Rio Grande
again. If this thing is kept mp, and it seems
that it should he, the country will
be aroused some fine morning with the
booming Of cannon, so to speak, and our
army will have its hands full
Of earnest work.
THE partisan uses for which the POTTER
was intended at its very cOncer-
tion are being served row in the publication
Of cx tracts from the testimony taken before

Mr.. FOSTER has fully declined TO accept |
the nomination rendered to him in the |
Toledo district, prefcrring TO run in his |
own. This is what might b, expected from
q plucky, consistent man, whose self-Tespect

bag. He will make !. highly interesting
for the Democrats in hisown gerrymandered
district, where be Is far stronger than his
party.

nre charming their readers with eighteen
distinct lies that are strung together like
sausages, aud that have been coined by the
Democratic organ Of this city from the
metal, machinery, and dies of jim ANDER-

memory or its study of history has been
feariully neglected. 1t says that ten years
ago the Republicans entered upon course
OF action which has since pointed invariably
to ito the solid SOUTH whenever they have
been asked for policy. The Herald cannot
fail to call to mind the fact, il it tries, that

after the Inauguration Of President HAYES
Up to that time the South was divided.

will be held in North Carolina next month
The address of the Republican Executive
Committee of the State, published in oul
news columns this morning, explains very
clearly and pOintcdly the issues involved

nevertheless probable that the latter vii
make some gains III the Legislature.

quarrel has ended without the services Of
