People should not worry about jeff
Davis returning to the United States
senate just yet. He is not at present a
citizen of the United States, and no
party will be likely to take the risk of
making him such.
The friends of David Davis are conf
dent that he will have chances as a dem
ocratic compromise candidate after Til

another way for saying he will have

Senator Vest told a lie, but makes the
pitiful plea that sit was done in the heat
of debate" The lie goes out in his
speech, and will be rolled as a sweet

"heat" promised for this class of sinners.

Senator Lamar says that Mississippi
is badly infected with initiation heresies.
and he believes the entire south will be
solid for sott-money legislation next win
ter. This with the state rights revival

farms which he received by will from one
of those non-recOnstructed sisters when

Parties who have plenty of spare time
may find it profitable to read the list of

by Senator Window to the senate, which

beginning with 1880, contains 125 names
with an aggregate amount of $6,874,-
3O2.38. This list does not include any
small fry" but only those whose
perks" were OCer ten thousand dollars
The friends of Senator Conkling say
that the scurrilOus attack of Watterson,
in the Louisville Courier-J Journal upon
him, is probably to retaliate upon the

and were steadily declined, as were all
the attempts Of the Democrats to inter
view him on political matters, or upon
any private discussion WhateVer.-WaSh-
ingtOn Dispatch to the Cincinnati Ga

There is trouble in the combination
camps of the honorable Bilks and Demo-
cratic parties of California. Both have
the same candidate for governor, but as
he is one of the great land monOpolists
of the state, and the III. Bilks are bitter
ly opposed to land monopoly, they are
struck with the inconsistency of his can
didacy and talk of withdrawing him.

"The senators on the other side are loud
in their charges of corruption and of
what wonderful things the democratic
party HAS accomplished Dy the eXQenQl-
ture of two or three hundred thousand
dollars in these investigations. The
point l have made to-day, which thus
far no senator on the other side has met
or attempted to meet, is, that with all
your expenditure in four years of search
ing, with 33 committees armed with all
the powers congress could give them,
backed by all the money in the treasury,
you have not by these committees prov
ed that one republican official stole one
dollar from this government, and all
the efforts to show 1t today have utterly
failed. "-Extract from senator WINDOWS
recent speech.
The solidity of southern elections this
year will surpass all previous records.
This is made apparent by the early ac-
tivity of the bulldoZers and by the AFRO
CANT tone of the southern newspapers
The issue raised by the extra session Just
suits them, and the security which they
now feel against legal prosecution for
driving voters from the polls will
prompt them to more reckless BULLDOG
ing than ever. 1t is safe, therefore, to
predict enormous Democratic maiorities
in every southern state, without shadow
of a Republican success anywhere.
That South Carolina warning to Swails
sounds the keynote for the campaign,
and every man, black or white, who
sends up q hostile shout will indeed
"have lively time and be glad to retire"
