Branching off from secession history
your correspondent made wide stride
by coming down to what most inter
ests the American elector-the next
Presidency-and to his question, do
you think the Democratic party will
nominate the old ticket" Judge Black
replied that he hoped not. He would
rather see it reversed-Hendricks and
Tilden. He believed that Tilden
might fill the Office Of Vice President
creditably. and Hendricks would make
an admirable President; but his choiee
was Hancock, he was for Hancock in
side and out, right and lef. and under
alicircumstanees.
IF nominated again, would Han
cock run better than In 1897" was
asked b. your correspondent, and the
reply was: "He would have TO run
better to be elected" In abiding to
the campaign of 1880 Judge Black
was very severe on the newspaper cor
respondent who gave publicity to a
statement respecting the tariff alleged

which the Judge characterized as a

even more pungent in his remarks

Randolph is high tariff man, and
that ought to have disqualified him
from giving advice TO Democratic

Lancaster county tobacco, and ending
the sentence with the remark: mo

has no right to advise a Democratic
candidate for President" 7

The Judge hesitated a full minute
and then replied with an emphatic
No. 1t Arthur should be nominal
ed he would not stand the remotest
chance Of an election"
BLAINE FOR PRESIDENT.
Continuing his conversation, Judg,
Black said he considered Blaine til,

gentlemen who few months since, secured
the charter for railway running north
from Sedalia, met number of the repre-
sentative citizens of this county in con-
suitatiOn in this city last Saturday.
Nothing defnate was accomplished, bud
the delegation from Sedalia, We understand,
proposed to allow this county due proper
ton of the dir, ctors of the road, and it was
thought that the interests of the two towns
and counties would be best served by all
working In harmony.
OF course in regard TO such matters il is
impossible for a newspaper to secure all
the bottom facts for publication, as such
information, if made pubic. might lead to
interference with the plans OF the pro-
moiers OF the enterprise
One thing is sure, however, and that is
that Saline county is determined to have a
north and south railroad. Scdalia's inter-
es,s are identical with Saline's in the mat
ter, and it would seem there is nothing in
the way OF united pull in The same direc-
tion.-Saline County Democrat.
