Election of Hon. John G. Carlisle as Speaker.

The election as Speaker of the House of
Representatives of Hon. John G. Carlisle,
of Kentucky, over Hon. Sam'l ]. Randall,
of Pennsylvania, was a surprise to many,
who believed that expediency dictated the
choice of Randall. The Democratic mem
bers of Congress from all parts of the coun-
try should be able to judge wisely as to the
choice they should make for speaker, and
we think that those who preferred Randall
should yield a ready acquiescence in the
Judgment of the Democratic members OF
Congress, upon whom the responsibility OF
making the choice devolyed. Carlisle is an
able and pure man, is conservative and ma
tional, and there is nothing sectional in his
election. He was union man before and
during the war, and the cry of "rebel' can
not be raised against him in the North
The 'sbloody -shirt" cannot be used against
him. The capitalists and business men OF
the North repose confidence in his wisdom,
conservatism, and craftsmanship, and his
election will not produce any scare in that
class.
Since they see how his election has beer
received, many of those who preferred Ran
dali are coming to the conclusion that the
election of Carlisle was wise.
The State says that "while the Demo
Gratis who supported Mr.. Randall were at
first disgruntled at the result, they are now
coming.to see that the majority was right
The Democratic party represents the peo
pie of the country, and the Democratic par
ty is becoming more compact every day
The outlook for 1884 grows brighter and
brighter"
The New York Herald says
s'This attempt to raise a sectional issue
out of the choice for Speaker finds no sup
port or color in the facts and character Of
the contest. On the contrary, the election
| of a Southern man in the person OF MI
Carlisle is, under the circumstances, to be
hailed as one of the most encouraging polit-
| ical signs of the day. Mr.. Carlisle was
not elected because he is southern man,
nor does he represent Southern policy IL
any sectional sense.
His candidacy represented a principle. II
meant an affirmative, active, manly policy,
not negative do-nothing, evasive one. L
was because he stood for these things, and
because he had, in high degree, all the
other qualifications for the office that he was
the choice of the majority for Speaker.
We rejoice that good Southern man hal
been elevated to loading position in thu
national government by a combined North
ern and Southern vote"
To this the Norfolk Landmark adds
SIN fact the Democratic party is not thu
sensitive plant some people thought it; bu
good, hardy growth, with its roots deel
in the soil from North to South, and from
East to West; and the straighter it grow
up in the light of day, the better the people
will like it

fair in which all good people should join.
A judicial investigation should be had, wit
nesses should be allowed to testify, should
be made to testify; and the truth should be
made apparent, SO that the Commonwealth
of Virginia should be placed before the
world as one of the States which tries crime,
no matter who may be the criminal"

What We Understand to be Carlisle's View

1t seems to be generally understood that
Speaker John G. Carlisle is opposed to the
abolition of the internal revenue system.
We do not SO understand it. He is-as we
understand his view to be-in favor OF its
abolition, but not at this time, for the rea-
son that the revenue from the present tariff
is not sufficient for the necessary expenses
of the Government, and that he is in favor
of such modification of the present tariff
as will cause it to increase the revenue
from that source sufficiently to meet all the
necessary expenses, and then the internal
revenue system should be abolished. His
theory is, that by reduction of the tariff
duties, the increase Of imports will increase
the revenue to the amount needed, and
then the internal revenue system of taxa
ton can be abolished without Gripping the
finances of the Government.

"SERIoUs ASPECT THE election Of
Carlisle as Speaker of Congress, and the
anticipated policy of the Democratic party
in the next canvass, has caused the ValleJ
Virginian to put on its studying cap, and
after giving the subject mature thought, is
forced to the conclusion and frankly con.
fesses that ''it presents a serious aspect foi
the consideration of the Republicans Ou,
neighbor is right, and the ''aspect" will be-
come more and more ''serious' ''to the Re
publlcans' as time advances, for their worst
fears will be realized.

Senator Mcdonald, of Indiana, promi-
nent Democratic aspirant for the Presi-
dency, expresses hsmself as delighted at
the election of Mr.. Carlisle to the Speaker
ship. He regards him as safe, eonserva-
tive man, being in favor of tariff for rev.
enue, and in favor of such protection as
that tariff gives to the industries of the
country; or, in other words, tariff for
revenue, with incidental protection. Mr..
Mcdonald says this is his posi- ion, as well
as that of the Western Democracy He says
that if the Democrats in 1884 should 90 into
the Presidential campaign upon platform
in harmony with Mr.. Carlisle's position on
the tariff they will certainly win.
EX-Gov. Hendricks has also been inter-
viewed. He said that Mr.. Carlisle should
be judged by the results of his administra-
ton of the Office of Speaker, and not by
his location. 81 do not think" he said,
chat the sectional cry should be raised
against any man, and certainly not against
lr. Carlisle, who was Unionist where it
took splendid courage to be so.''

Low OR HIGH TARIFF.-Ex Senator
Gordon, of Georgia, says the South is de-
monstrating its ability to manufacture at a
profit both cotton and iron with much less
protection than is needed to enable these
Industries to live in other sections.
This being so, it is to the interest of the
South to have the tariff reduced. That will
have the effect of causing Northern CAPT
talists and manufacturers to invest in the
South The Southern resources would be
developed sooner with low than with q
high tariff. This the people will understand
when the question shall be thoroughly and
fairly discussed.
| In the next canvass the Democratic par
| ty will be the party of low taxes, and tht
Republican the party of high taxes, and the
Democratic party will win, and don't yor
forget it, If the tariff question shall be g
prominent issue, the people will learn tx
understand it before the election, and they
will not vote to tax themselves for the bene
fit of wealthy monopolies. The falacies o.
the protectionists will be exposed.

JOHN RANDOLPH TUCKER AND A MANLY
CRITIC.-The Editor of the Lynchburg
NeacS signed the dispatch which announced
that the constituents of the Hon. John
Randolph Tucker did not look with favor
on his support of Mr.. Carlisle, and now
| that Editor has come forward in the most
| creditable manner to acknowledge his error
of judgment as to the effect the election of
our Speaker would have upon the country.
Our brother of the Ne,cS expresses him
self as follows:
'But we incline to believe now, and we
frankly say it, that we were wrong and
Mr.. Tucker was right. The responses of
hearty approval of the bold and manly
stand taken by the representatives of the
great National Democracy that have come
from all over the country convince us that
our fears were born of over timidity. De-
flying the bowls of sectionalists and the
predictions of evil of monopolists, the De-
mocracy have shown the courage of their
convictions; have boldly placed themselves
on the side of the people, and we believe
the people will applaud"
We copy this partly to show the manly
temper of our contemporary, and, partly to
say that Mr.. Tucker has shown high intel
ligence and courage in voting according to
Ills COuVlcllOHS Vi rlSuI III defiance OF uelSu-
borhood opinion. 1t is of such stuff that
great leaders are made, and we hope, as
we believe, that there will be strong reac-
ton in his favor among the good people of
the Lynchburg District. We need reso-
lutte and honest men in high places, and
we are proud to see Mr.. Tucker carrying
himself in manner worthy the best days
of Virginia and the Republic -NorfoH
Landmark.
