sought an office, and, when pressed into SER
vice, represented his constituency with fdel-
ity and honesty.
DESPITE his overwhelming defeat for the
governorship Of New York there is ray OF
hope for Secretary Folger. Justice Bradley,
of the Supreme Court Of the United States,
will reach the age of seventy years next
| February, and il is said will then avail HIM
self of the privilege of retirement, thus
making a vacancy, which will probably be
given TO Judge Folger.
THERE is no accounting for opinions. The
} Fort Smith Herald says: "The success of
Gen. Chalmers was great personal triumph
His course was erratic, but he was not
treated altogether fairly by the Lamar wing
| of the Democracy, and hence his peculisr
| position in the race. In our opinion he is
still good Democrat, and will be found in
line in the great battle of 1884"
The following are the officers OF the House
of Representatives of Alabama: Wilbur +.
Foster, of Macon, speaker; d. W. Mclyer,
of Macon, clerk; Horace r. Hood, of Mon
roe, assistant clerk; w. G. Wallace, of Tus-
cumbis, engr ossing clerk; Thomas J. Judge,
OF Butler, enrolling clerk; Robert Hssson,
of Etowah, doorkeeper, and G. B. james, OF
Barbour, assistant doorkeeper. :
The contest between Finley, Democrat,
and Bisbee, Republican, in the Second
District of Florida, is almost too close
for comfort. Estimates from the coun-
ties yet to hear from give Finley majority
of only sixty nine, but his friends still claim
a msjoriiy of several hundred, while Bisbee's
friends claim the district by 600. David
sons majority in the First District will be
handsome one.
The Washington correspondent Of the New
York Times states that the returning govern
ment clerks report cold reception at their
sold homes" where they went to vote for
"the. grand old party" and that along the
different lines of railroad BY which they
travelled they were met by the people with
| boots and bowls and cries of derision. Served
them right. They have no more right 10 go
home TO vote than the sailors and soldiers of
the Republic.
In addition to retaining the Republican
allies driven into the Democratic camp, as
suggested by the New York World, it is also the
duty of the Democratic party to retain the
honest voters who have been its main stay
aud support for years. "Republican allies"
will not win Democratic victories if the rank
and file are disguised to the extent of with
holding their hitherto staunch support. Let
the Democratic party lesislate for the inter-
est of the people, aud all will be we'll.
| Elk CoEeREssMAN Smith, just elected to
the Safe Senate of New Jersey, is recorded
| as declaring that unless he goes TO the
United States Senate this winter there will
be yawning vacancy in McPherson's seat.
Ex-senator Randolph, Judge Green and
| Miles Ross are also candidates, but as Smith
is the Sabin of the party in the State and
has the advantage of being onthe floor and
has two of the Republican members of the
Assembly TO support him, and will stand
aloof from the caucus, his chances are about
the best.
THAT veteran humbug, VIM. D. Kelley,
steps TO the front to say that his party de-
served the chastisement and 'on the whole
the change in Pennsylvania will prove bene-
fetal. 1t is to be hoped that ii has put an
end forever to boss rule, which was really
the curse of the State. The Democrats
elected from Pennsylvania are as good pro-
tec;ionists as you will find anywhere. There
=.
trade cry" Kelley is crszy on that question,
| and would ruin the farmers and planters 10
carry his purpose.
ANOTHER outrageous case of Federal in
terferenceis reported from Thomson, says the
Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution. A negro walks
into a lady's bedroom and thereupon is
caned by her husband. This negro wears
the livery of the Federal government, and
because he does so, forsooth, the town is in
vsded by deputy-marshals and ten citizens |
are forthwith hauled to Savannah; some of |
them not even knowing what the cause was. |
This is a form of Southern outrage" which |
We notice is not noticed in the North, but |
might we'll be, since it certainly is a gross |
evil
The Thirty second Senatorial District of |
Psnnsylvani has always been a Democratic |
stronghold. At the recent election Mr.. |
james w. Boser, Republican, was elected |
State senator. The friends of Wagner, the
Democr attic candidate, are at a loss to know
how the result was effected. 1t is explained
that the Republican Committee had num-
Der of cook-boeks printed and sent one to
the wife of every Democrat in the district,
with the compliments of Mr.. James w.
Bosler, Mr.. Blaine's candidate. The cook
book proved to be a valuable campaign
document, and elected Bosler.
GEN. B. F. BUTLER was entertained by
the Democratic State Committee of Massa-
chusetts at banquet in Boston on Saturday
evening. His speech, after expressing
thanks for the committees kindness, support
and confidence, closed with the following de-
vout aspiration: 81 earnestly pray Al
mighty God 10 give me that discernmeut
and wisdom and sagacity which ehall lead
me, in any sphere OF duty 10 which am
called, to do all that man may do to justify
the confidence, kindness, love and affection
shown to me by the people of Massachusetts,
in the late demonstration which we have
met 10 celebrate"
liz the recent elections for Congress in
New York City Mr.. Quinn, who it appears
is the foreman of Mr.. John Roach's well pro-
tected iron works in that city, was candi-
date for Congress against Mr.. s. S. Cox. Mr..
Quinn, it is needless to say, was not elected.
1t appears that Mr.. Quinn expected that all
Mr.. Roach's workiDgmen would vote for
him whether they believed in his political
ideas and so-called principles or not. Some
of them, however, did not so vote, and it is
reported that they have suddenly discovered
that Mr.. John Roach's "high tariff" foundry
cannot give them any more work. This is the
measure of Mr.. Roach's heartfelt interest in
the workingmen.
THE Chattanooga Times is unreasonable,
vindictive and small in its pursuit of the
leading Democrats OF the State. Here is .
sample: "There are about Thousand gen.
tlemen in Tennessee who ought to be candi-
dates for the Senate. There are certainly
several who aspire. House, Atkins, Whit
thorne, Bate, Harris, yertrees, Colyar, Say
age. All of the lot but one, Colyar, have
reasonable information of the physical wants
Of the State; but as we mostly send men
whose chief recommendation is their ignor-
