CoSGREssMAs MORRISON made a speech
to the Democratic convention in Illinois
which renominated him, in which he took
occasion to deride the prohibitory move
ment. He seemed to think that prohibition
would be bad thing for the State, as il
makes about 100000 gallons of alcohol
annually, and nearly 100000 barrels Of
beer, and in the manufacture of these pro-
ducts consumes about 10000, 900 bushels Of
grain, Of the yield of 100000 acres of land
He argued that it was more profitable TO sell
whisky than corn.
CHALMERS WANTS to control the patronage
in his district As Malone controls the patron.
age in Virginia. He and his friends, a
Washington dispatch to the Times Democrat
says, are trying to secure the removal of Miss
Lee Crandall, the incumbent of the postofics
at Oxford, the home of Lamar. Miss Gran
dali was appointed by Grant. Chalmers
wants the place for satellite of his named
Howery, Democrat. The postmaster-gen-
eral is studying whether he will comply with
Chalmers's request. He dislikes the idea of
appointing Democrat.
The NEXT electoral college will contain
All members or votes. This will render
necessary for the election of a president 206
votes instead of 1S5, as for the past ten
years. OF these 2O6 the Democracy has in
the South and with Nevada $50 only, and
will consequently need from other sources
hfty-six votes. If it can carry New York
and New Jersey and Indiana the required
number for success will be obtained, but fail
ing Ia those States it has but slim chances
for the presidency. The battle ground,
therefore, in 1884, will be about the same az
In 1850.
SOME OF the greatest men known in our
public h STORY were entrusted with the duties
of Office at an early age. William Henry
Seward was nominated for governor of New
York in 1884, when he was but thirty-three.
Dewitt Clinton was of the same age when his
brilliant career in the Senate of that State
was crowned by his election to the Senate
of the United States. Jefferson was but
thirty-thrse when he wrote the Declaration of
Independence, and thirty-six when he was
elected governor of Virginia. Webster, Clay,
Calhoun and Hamilton were men of mark at
thirty-two.
The PEOPLE of Ohio should defeat Keller
and Butterworth. Keller degraded the or
ganization of the House to jsbbers, and
pleads for & reelection because he went often
to the pension Office and "tried hard enough
public Offices" He is the abettor Of jobbers
in Warrington and an arrant demagogue at
home.s Butterworth drove the ladies from
the galleries by his shocking indecency in
debate, and every voter who respects q
mother, wife, sister or daughter, should vote
against him. Ohio will honor herself BY the
defeat of Keller and Butterworth.
ALLUDIsG TO General GartrelI, the oppo-
nent of Alexander Stephens, the Herald and
Georgian says; "Colored voters might feel
their zeal abate for this Independent, if they

gis Report, the case Of the American Colo
nization Society IS. L. j. Gartrell, when the
general succeeded in retaining in slavery ne
groes that had been manumitted by will of

Irell was no doubt rightly sustained, yet the

Efforts 10 hold slaves in bondage, made free

MALONE has bulldozed colored Baptist |
preacher for daring to run for Congress as a |
Republican. The Rev. Mr.. Daw-
on's congregation have repudiated him at
dahone's dietationl Whereat the Boston |
Herald observes that "this is uniting the |

MAJOR HERRoN, nominated for Congress
, the Sixth district OF Louisiana by the
democrats, has played an important part in
ouisiana politics for the last thirty years or
lore. Even before the war he was a politi-
Il leader, holding several offices in the gift
the people. Upon the breaking out of the
ar he organized a company, ssrved in the
rmy of Northern Virginia, and rose to the
nix of major of his regiment. Upon the
turn of peace, Major Heron returned 10
e profession of law. He continued, how
Ter, to devote much of his time to politics
I'd to the service of the State, and has been
member of every Democratic convention ,
at has met in Louisiana since 1865.
The BOSTON Saturday Evening Gazette finds
'nator Hosr deficient in practical states
anship, but favors General Francis A.
'alker as his successor, saying: General
'alker is not alone an able and thought
i man; he is thoroughly educated for the
tiles OF public life. Although an earnest
I'd loyal member of the Republican party,
s mind is not cramped by the prejudices of | .

of outworn issues. He under
inds the vital questions of the day-those '
at relate to finance, to the revenue, to the
eat business affairs of the nation-as we'll |,
any man living. His views are all liberal r

1ator would be invaluable in the public !
uncils. He would be an important gift of :
