General Toots Hancock, in his latest
manifesto on the tariff question, pro
nounces the authoritative expressions of
his party on that issue as of mo conse-
quence," and says: $50 far, therefore,
as we are concerned, all this talk about
free trade Is folly" In other words, he
says, practically, that the tariff plank IN
the national Democratic platform is of
the same rotten material as that which
declares that the "right to a free ballot
is q right preservative of all rights :"
that it is no sounder than the one which
advocates maintenance OF the public
credit-both state and NATIONAL" and
that IL is quite as treacherous as those
portions OF the structure
which are marked Afree speech"
and "protection TO the laboring man"
The men who framed the CINCINNATI
platform were doubtless fully cognizant
Of its frail construction, but il is not at all
likely that they counted upon General
Hancock 10 so generously aid the public
In making the same discovery.

We hear 1t frequently stated that the
people never voted to sell the county

is but necessary to call attention To the
fact that the question of selling the rail

election in November, 1878. Tue vote

Wade Hampton, who banks upon his

of southern chivalry, resents the CLASH
