The "grand old party" will resort 10 any
rascality 10 perpetuate its infamy.
SENATOR HAwLEY, like the good Deacon
Richard Smith and Senator Blaine, refuses

senator's paper faVors the raising OF fund
: for Carter, the colored candidate, and prefers
defea. 10 Chalmers.
THE Providence IL. ~ Journal abuses
Roger A. Pryor for attempting, in the New
York Democratic Convention, 10 restore,
, by resolution, the principles OF the fedora
tive system a. opposed to centrallsm. And
yet Rhode Island has equality with New
York in the Senate by that principle alone.
The great State Of Iowa, which has
larger population than Tennessee, has Just
adopted constitutional amendment, BY
majority of 10000 or 10000 votes, prohibit
ing dis,illing and brewing and the sale OF
intoxicating drinks. 1t is thought that such
radical, sweeping legislation is brought about
by such fearful examples Of intemPerance as

Mr.. PERRY BELMONT will probably be re-
nominated by the Democrats OF the First |
| Congressional District of New York. Mr.. |
William K. Vanderbilt, son of Mr.. w. Fl. |
Vanderbilt, is suggested the Republican I
nominee. He has done much for the I'M
| provemeut of property In the county, where |
| he has a couriry seat, and is a generous
| giver 10 charities. The contest between these
! candidates would lack no element OF interest
and perhaps none Of principle.
