THE Leadyille (Col) ReuqHe, bright,
intelligent and vigorous junior among the
rapidly-increasing dailies of that growing
State, dabbles in National politics as earn
estly as any of its seniors, East or West.
Remarking upon the Southern question, it
says
There is about tho same chance for the Re-
publican party carrying one of the lately ro-
bellOus States in the next election that there
is Of conyicting any party in that section
charged with the murder of leading Repnbli-
can citizens. The Republican party in the
South is dead, past resurrection, and not a
solitary Electoral vote need be looked for
from that section, except for the solid, una
dulterated, Simon-pure, Ku-KluX Democratic
candidate There are plenty Of Republicans
in the South, but the bludgeOn, the rifle and
the pistol, emblems Of Southern ciyilizati on,
have terrified them into respectful silence.
To this untimely concession Of q Solid
South, carrying with it, as it does, an utter
abandonment Of the Republican party as q
political organization, we enter an earnest
protest, 1t is true the South is solidly
Democratic now, and further that it will
remain so unless some effort is made to re-
claim it to the cause Of good government ;
but we hold that it is the bounden duty of
good Republicans everywhere to encourage
such an effort for its reclamation. In this
way, and in this way only, can the Republic
can party free itself from the charge of sec
tonalism. Fit fails TO encourage the de-
yelopment Of its principles all over the

country, and to cherish its strength, how
ever discouraging the attempt may be- in
every State, county, town and hamlet in
the Union, it will most assuredly render
itself liable to the charge that it cares only
for the North, and that it is engaged in ar
raigning the South for its misconduct solely
and simply to unity the Northern States.
Wherever as in Florida, North and South
Carolina and Tennessee, the chance is Of
fered to foster the growth of its principles,
there should this effort be especially made
and this encouragement be most willingly
extended. Besides, it must not be forgotten
that Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina
saved the Nation and the party at the last
election.

GENERAL Arthur, chairman of the New
York Republican State committee, gives it
as his deliberate opinion that the whole
Republican State ticket will be elected by
from twenty to thirty thousand majority,
and that Mr.. CoRNELLs majority will reach
nearly one hundred thousand over ROBIN
son. With such margin and a vigorously
worked canvass, such as the Republicans
have in hand, there cannot be much doubt
of the success of the Republican cause in
the Empire State.

Mr.. CLARKsoN N. POTTER, Democratic
candidate for Lieutenant Governor of New
York, declined, refused and repudiatod the
idea Of his being nominated for any Office
by the Syracuse convention in the most
emphatic language at his command. But
he accepted the nomination nevertheless,
and in his letter Of acceptance referred to
This emphatic denial, saying, in effect, that
be yielded to the superior power of the reg
ularly constituted authorities of the Demo-
cratic party His Inconsistency in this
Especial regard was all the more apparent
because he first declined denomination for
Governor and then accepted the candidacy
!or Leutenant-G Governor His Democratic
friends and supporters entirely ignore this
little crooked incident in his career but
lhey do not ignore the fact that General
GRANT has been reported rs having de-
,lned the Presidential nomination, nor do
lhey neglect any opportunity to remark
hat his probable acceptance of it, to save
The Government from falling into the hands
Of its enemies, would be an inconsistent act.

ONE of the probable blunders of the
coming session of Congress will be an at
tempt to abolish our foreign missions. On
the bald pretense of economy, the Demo-
cratic majority in that body will essay to
further disgrace the Government by with
drawing its diplomatic representatives from
the courts and governments of the civilized
world. However strong this argument may
be, and however ridiculous the display of
American diplomacy may be made to APP
pear, there are many reasons, and good ones,
in support Of continuance of the present
system. Not the least of these is the fact,
conceded by intelligent and unpreiudiced
people generally, that the dignity and i'm
portance of the United States would suffer
by its abrogatiOn. AS an incentive to emil
grafton, alone, directly or indirectly our
legations abroad are worth more than they
cost, and as reliable agencies through which
to obtain accurate, intelligent and unpreju-
diced accounts of the progress of govern
mental affairs abroad they are invaluable.
And, as we have said before, the presence of
direct and vicariOus representatives Of our
Government is required at all times I'M
peratiyely required, for the protection of
our native-born and naturalized citizens
who may visit beyond our borders either
for business, adventure or pleasure The
faithful and discreet performance of this
duty has saved us in the past from bloody
and expensive wars, notably with Spain in
the Yirginius affair, and will be required
for similar emergencies in the future

THERE is a story ahoat that both KELLY
and ROBINSON are to withdraw from the
New York canvass and permit CLARKsoN n.
POTTER, now candidate for Lieutenant Gov
ernor, to run for Governor This tale OBJ
tains credence from the well-known fact
that S. JONES TILDEN promised the New
York Governorship to the head of the PoT-
TER Committee, pending its notorious no-in-
vestigation of the Presidential title ques-
tion. But it is hardly probable that Boss
KELLY would agree to such proposition.
He knows full well that POTTER is TILDEN
man from sole to scalp, and it is not ROBIN
son that he is fighting so much as it is Til
denism. On the other hand, it appears
that the leaders of the ROBINSON wing
disclaim any knowledge of movement
looking to n reunion between the factions.
Mr. FOWLER, chairman of the ROBINSON
State Executive committee, says that moth
ing of the sort was known to him or to any
members of the committee. He knows of
no one who was attempting to make COM
promise or who desired one.

THAT PLATFORM.

1t is Q hopeful sign of the times
to see Democratic newspapers sen
sitive over the platform adopted by
the party last year, upon which
Gov. Marks was nominated and
elected. Not a few of them have,
since the election, characterized it
in fitting terms, and to the credit of
the GAINESVILLE Tobacco Leaf, be it
said it expressed its disapproval be-
fore the election. Recently it has
had some hard things to say about
it, for which the Nashville Banner
takes it to task, and in doing so
our Nashville contemporary gives
what purports to be the history Of
the platform, as follows:
1.-THE Tobacco Leaf seems to have a
special hostility to the platform which
it denOminates the Marks platform
Now we see no reason why it should
call this especially a Marks platform
any more than for either of the other
clever gentlemen who aided in its
erection. We happened to be around
at the time that platform was built,
and though Governor Marks had the
honor of reading it, or had the credit
Of writing it, we just happened to
know something of its history, which,
in justice 10 all parties, it may be well
enough to relate, as we think it was a
wise and prudent compOsitiOn-one
that saved the party from rupture,
and one that might well be ~re-enacted,
aud 4 hat should ennOble the gen.
.lemen who conceived it.
"When the convention assembled
here, the night before it's meeting was
given 10 the discussion of the platform
in a general consultation. There
were differing views on the-subject, as
we'll as may be supposed, and these
differences bid fair to create trouble
the next day, unless sOme cOmpro-
mise could be made, and to effect that
most desirable object, al the request OF
many OF the leaders, the platform as
constructed was handed over to three
gentlemen with the request that they
should take it and so arrange its pro-
visions that every Democrat, whether
high or low, State credit, or repudia-
ZIONIST, could stand upon it. It was a
most difficult matter to do, but full OF
zeal for the unity of the party upon
whose success so many interests were
pending, these gentlemen, represent
ing both elements of the party, went
into q consultation and the platform
was agreed on that was, the
next day, adopted unanimously,
1t was of the noblest acts Of their

IT is too late for the Democratic

IT IS too late for the Democratic
party to convince the people Of this
country that it is friendly to honest
money by supporting Mr.. Bayard
for the Presidency. It is univer>
sally known that resumption be-
came a fixed fact in spite of the
protests and untiring opposition of
the Democratic party. The party
representatives in Congress opposed
naming a day for resumption, and
when the day was named,
did everything in its power to post
pone indefinitely. Nothing is more
clearly settled in politics than that
the Democratic party is a debt
Sinking party. 1t belongs to its
nature just as the scent does to the
p0le-cat Or the walloW in the mire
to the SOW. There are individual
Democrats who for one reason and
another have held On to the organ
ization who have favored honest
money and an honest payment o.
public obligations, but they are our
of their element. Democracy and

SENATOR MATT. CARPENTER was
interviewed a few days ago by a
National Republican reporter.
Among other things in the interview,
We find this:
"You remarked the other day that
Gen. Grant, if nominated, would be
elected"
Yes, that's what [ said, and [
might have added that, if elected, he
will be inaugurated. He'll be inau-
gurated, despite the efforts thai may
be made to prevent 1t. [ might as
we'll 60 on with a prediction that I've
often made Of late. 1t is that the
Democrats will protest against the
count of the Electoral votes of some
one Or more of our Republican States
when the Two houses meet iD Joint
convention for that duty in February,
1881. They will base their protest
upon what they will allege to have
been an unconstitutional exercise #
Federal power in the execution Of the
National election laws. They may
take California for this purpose, or
New York or Pennsylvania, or any
oGAAC "ACl XIX SlISLLCSl pIStCGGCs
real or manufactured for the express
object, may be furnished. Then the
two Houses will separate, and one or
both will sustain the protest. The
vote of that State will be thrown out,
and it will be declared that there was
no election, and the House will as
sumo to elect a President"
1.-The preliminary arrangements for
that emergency Will be made in the
House, the same az they are attempt
ing to make them in the Senate by I'm.
eating MI. Kellogg, SO that the Dem
Ocratic nominee for President Will De
elected under the form and color OF
law. One step has already been taken
in the House in this direction by the
unseating of Mr.. Bisbee, of Florida
and the seating of Mr.. Hull in his
place. This gives the vote of Florids
on a vote by States to the Democrats
30 that the House now stands on such
a vote nineteen Democratic States t.
nineteen Republican Ststes-counting
the Indiana Greenback member with
the opposition. But in hat far Of
December session, when the keilCgg
case will probably be ac.ed upon, ant
when all such action will be no IOngei
influential upon any coming election
they may unseat Mr.. Ofth, of Indiana
or some other Republican. The de
cision of the contests in these case!
adversely 10 the present occupant
would give their seats to Dem0cratl'
contestants and insure q Democratic
majority by States in the House."

lives. and fully met the emergency.
It was on a line with the actions of the
great compromiser of the Union,
Henry Clay, and breathed g spirit of
patriotism all through it. Governor
Marks was one Of the three, but he
was no more entitled to the credit Of it
than the other honorable gentlemen
composing the committee. These men
are now occupying the most honorable
positions the State can confer, men iE
whose loyalty to etate credit no man
can lay q doubt, men who boldly took
the stump Last summer in advocacy OF
the credit of the Stale, men whose
names form q tower of strength not
only in Tennessee, but throughout the
whole Union, and men upon whose
fair fame no one would dare to east the
stigma of demagoguery."
We had understood all the time,
and have seen it so printed
in the newspapers that Gov. Marks
wrote the platform, and u infor-
nation is that it was written several
weeks before the Convention met.
We also further understand that it
was taken there by Mr.. Marks in
printed sheets, in his pocket, and
that about the only change made
was one hal did not change its
meaning, but made it less honest.
At any rate, it is something
novel in political history to see a
political platform banded about
by its former friends, when it is
only a little over a year old-no~
body caring to be responsible for its
authorship while it is denounced in
round terms as something to be
heartily ashamed of. W. trust the
Banner may be induced to throw a
little more light on the subject.
The father of that child should be
known.
