Itls a curious fact that while General
Chalmers declares that he is a Democrat, a.
he has ever been, and that the Democratic
party has deserted its principles, there is not
a Democratic journal in the land that does
not class Malone and Chalmers together.
All remember that Malone was Hancock
Democrat in 1880, and frsm the day he en-
tered the United States Senate he has invsri-
ably cast Repubiieon votesI And ss General
Chslmers, who is supported only by Repub-
licans and Greepbackers bitterly hostile to
the principles of true Democracy, is pledged
TO vote for Republican, no matter whether
il is tina wretched donkey, Kiefer, or that
colossal plunderer, Robson, for Speaker OF
the next House, the inference is irresistible
that be will be found in hearty accord with
the Republican party on all questions Of
general legislation. The following from the
New York Worlds fair specimen of the light
in which Democrats regard General Chal-
mers: "The Republican party in Alabama has
been formally disbanded. So it has in Texas,
in Virginia, in Missouri, in Kentucky, while
10 almost every other Southern State its
organization is merely nominal. How will
delegations from these States be made up in
1884, and what will be the wording of the
call of the National Convention? Are phan-
tom delegations to be evoked from among
the Federal ofice-holders? II 80, what will
their treason profit Malone and Chalmers, and
what reward will accrue to the Greenback
leaders in Alabama and Texas and Missouri,
who are now being put forward as 'anti-
Bourbon buffers? Somebody is going to be
cheated, and there will be row, when the
question comes up for final settlement, be-
side which the battle of Armageddon will

GAnd Advice.

The Walthall (Miss.) Warden calls upon
the Democrats OF the Third district, Missis-
sippi, to thoroughly organize and convince
such men (the independent Roane) that it is
the hight of folly to ask US ito lndorse any
course calculated to strike death blow to a
party that has proven itself the savior of our
country, and further show that Democracy is
100 deeply imbedded in our. affections to al
low personal feeling or preference to effect
us in our votes Again we urge, let us by all
means organize" This is good advice and
can be read with profit by the Fussellers of

HUBBELL's DEFEAT.

Many of our contemporaries are making
merry over the defeat of Jay Hubbell for
denomination to Congress from his old dis
trict in Michigan. We have INDUCED in
something of the sort ourselves, but friend OF
ours who is of practical turn of mind, says
that his defeat is all moonshine. He insists
that Hubbell is all right Having failed TO
receive the nomination, he has only TO an
nounce himself as candidate on his own
hook, and instruct his man Friday, one
Henderson by name, to write proclamation
recognizing him as the regular candidate, as
was done in this State in the case OF Houk
against Rule. A proclamation OF this sort
in favor of Hubbell, with liberal disburse-
meut of material aid from the blackmail
he wrung from department clerks, scrub
women and messenger boys, will make his
election as easy as lying. General Chalmers
ought to get Henderson to declare for him
and against Ham Carter. Itwould simplify
matters amazingly in the Second Mississippi

what the People OF South Carolina Gain

The Charleston Neps and Courier of Tues
day showed by an official statement pre-
thai The IN year 1s7fs7Z me Kadicais spent FOR
ordinary purposes in South Carolina 81 ,Os1,-
600 more than was spent by the Democrats
for the same purposes in 1880 81; the two
years compared being those in which the ag-
gregate expenditures for the purposes named
were the highest, under Radical and Demo
cratic rule respectively. For salaries, legis-
lative expenses, public printing, etc, The
Radical expenditures we're nearly five times
as great as the Democratic expenditures for
the same purposes, without taking into ac-
count the debt which the Radicals contracted
and bequeathed as a legacy to their Demo
cratic successors. The comparison is fully as
favorable to the Democracy if we take the
total expenditures instead Of comparing two
years only. For the five Radical years,
commencing 1901 and ending with 1874
rs, and for the five Democratic years, be-
ginning with 1S76-77 and ending with $780,

named were as follows:

Milwaukee, Financial Emharrass.

MILWAUKEE, September 1.-THE city
comptroller discovered to-day that the funds
OF five of the thirteen wards are completely
exhausted so that the most necessary public
works, like repairs and the cleaning of the
streets in these wards, have TO be suspended
until Rext year. By mistake Of the former
comptroller no money is appropriated in this
years budget for the interest on the public
debt payable in July and December, 1888,
provided by law, and the interest for July
for the present year has not yet been paid.
The financial difficulties are the result of
Insufficient rate of taxation and the misman-
agement Of the finance by the comptroller in
allowing the funds to be overdrawn. The
city officials make strenuous efforts to with
hold The facts from the public. The remedy
cannot be had until the next Legislature
eonyenes, when application will be made
authorizing the Council to levy several hun
dred thousand dollars tax besides the regular
budget already passed upon.

A VIGOROUS KICK
From OkIahsma Payne-He Defies the
Government.

KANSAS CITY, September 12.-Captain
Payne, the Oklahama leader, under date of
September 9TH, at Fort Reno, has addressed
a letter to the Times of this city, expressing
vigorously his exceptions to the dispatch
sent the Globe Democrat by its Washington
correspondent, which embodies the views OF
Commissioner Price. In the dispatch Price
refers to Payne as under arrest and in con-
finement, and in default of bail. Payne
says he is not and never has been inpris-
oned; that no bail was demanded, and that
he Is prepared TO give bond to any amount.
He says he is prepared for trial, and, fur
thermore, dem ands it, and an opportunity
of placing his claims before a court. He
closes with defiance of the government as
to the rights in his case, aud accuses the
officials of purposely delaying it.

Philadelphia Times.
The ridicule cast upon that new-fangled
device, the presidents flag, recalls an anec-
dote concerning bluff old Ironsides Farra-
gut. When Vice-Admiral Porter was in
the high feather in the Navy Department,
during Grants earlier administration, and
had his eye on the possible succession some
day to the chief command of the navy, he
Drained out design for the admiral, who
at that time was the hero FArragut. The
standard was an odd-lookipg affair, and
suggested the British cross of st. George az
much as anything. The first time the new
Jag was raised on shipboard over the head
OF the old sea-dog-the victor at Mobile and
New OrIeaus-the nondescript color caught
his eye at once. Pointing up to the flag, SO
the story goes, he angrily demanded:
@What do you call that gridiron thing up
there"
Somebody told him that it was the newly
devised admiraPs flag.
"Who ordered it to be hoisted?" he sgain
asked.
He was informed that Vice-Admiral Por-
ter had.
"Take that rag down at once" he thun-
dered. 'The stars and stripes are good
enough for me-"
Admiral Porter's gridiron came down with
q run, and this was the first and last time it
was ever unfurled.

The business men having large deposits are
rsllying to its aid. The directors of the
Planters National Bank were in session all
last night, and at o'clock this morning
Charles E. Whitlock and James B. Pace, two
OF tine wealthiest men in the city, were elect

Much sympathy is expressed for him. A
slight run on the Planters National Bank,

suspension being made public continued
until about o'clock, when matters quieted
down, under the assurance that there was
plenty of money to pay all depositors, and
