Isn't il rather late for the Tiden Democrats to be
looking for hinge in Kellys bacl boneY
The spread of Independent sentiments in the
South can be depended on assume the proportions
Of "a boom that Ben HUI has taken the heIu as
the leader of the BOurbons.
The misfortune Of the Democratic party Is that
ITS affairs are badly mixed. Things don't work
right with it at all. Here. for example, is John
Kelly solid as a rock all the time, while the South
is constantly splitting In pieces. II; now the South
would remain solid. and John Kelly would spht
how lovely the situation would be!
It looks very much as If the humorous side for

hausted.
Senator Sherman has o conclusive answer for the
Democrats who are charging him with accepting
their three per cent bond scheme which he rejected
last spring. He says: "W q shall show the Dem
ocrats that the blunder was theirs. We shall show
them that what we can do as an offer they could
not have done by forced loan. They would have
cent investment into one bearing half that amount
and thus have made their three per cent bondunpoD
ular from the first. We have by this loan come
down easily to 3l2 per cent and now by the
same process will reduce IL TO per cent
There was no cOmPulsOn about the first process,
there will be none about this. Yet 1t accomplsheS
ali the Democrats pleaded for last spring, and not
one of them can refuse to vote for IT.. lheJ must
aclno SledGt that their process would have been
exceedingly unpalatable, II 1t did not seriously
affect the OF the loan, aud they must tutAer
acknowledge in the end that oar method was tho
correct one and the truth is that they all mad
that /, IL Republican, should have introduced
thre- per cent bill, and they do not easily recover
their good nature"
Attempts to defamo GarGeld's memory will
have only one efect-to make the men and the cause
responsible tor the undertaking odlous
We are edited to notice that the inaugural adj
dress of General Lowry, who took possession Of the
Governors chair in Mississippi on Monday,
"breathed patriotic, liberal and progressive
spirit" and that lie declared that " the cardinal
spirit f his administration viii be to protect the
rights and foster the interests of all" Considering
that General Lowry Is III all Office to which he was
ney elected, these sentiments are very handsome.
If he teaches his party to practise Them he VIII be
the last Bourbon Governor OF Mississippi
Tennessee is another Southern State which is
practically unsolicited Congressman Moore, speak
ing of the Liberal movement there, says: We
shall make considerable InrOadS into the Demo-
cratic half of our delegation, if We do not carry
every district in the State next election. The
Liberal movement is growing in Tennessee, as in
other Southern States, and will soon make its
strength known. We have received propositions
recently from the State Credit Democrats which we
shall probably accept. They offer to join us to vote
the Republican ticket, and do not ask anything of
az except decent treatment. With their assistance
think we shall carry nearly every district in the
state. Tennessee is. as you know. naturally Ro-
publican state. With the recognition and support
which feel sure this Administration Will give, the
