Southern Republicans.

A faction of Northern Republicans
try hard to prove the Brutus of the
Republican party in the South.
Brave. faithful, and full of courage
the southern wing of the party sur
vived the apostacy Of Hayes, only to
find the same spirit endeavoring con-
stantly to finish his work and COM
pletely crush out Republieanism in
the South.
It is we'll that the latest attempt
in the Republican National Commit
tee failed. Those desiring to be our
Brutus went there to push through a
new plan of representation in the
National Convention which would
have virtually partly disfranchised
Southern Republicans in the counsels
of the party. 1t was proposed to
oiye each state three additional del
egates for each Republican Represen-
tative. The Democratic press cum
ningly advocated the measure and
upon failure could i'll conceal the ir
chagrin. They knew its passas Z
meant Republican destruction.
But Justice and reason triumphed.
In his able speech in opposition to the
monstrous measure the Hon. Paul
Strobach truly said:
"I ask you in all candor, whose fault
it is that to-day the South cannot
give their electoral votes to the Re
publican nominee ? You know full
we'll that the Southern Republican
is true and loyal to his party, and al
ways votes the Republican ticket, and
Alabama is to-day the same Repub-
Iican State, she was, when she twice
gave her electoral vote TO Grant for
President"
Though encompassed around with
enemies in its own house and vigil
liant foes outside, Southern Republi-
cans as in the past vindicate the par
ty Of their faith, support and uphold
it and thus furnish to the world no
ble example Of adherence to principle
for principles sake.

Our Free Schools.

A bill has been introduced in the
Legislature to add sl00OOO to the
present appropriation for the school
1und--making it $3.50, 900.
Every we'll wisher of the prosperity
of the State should favor the passag,
of this bill The present fund is onl,
sufficient to run the schools about 3
mouths in year. Tie people are
not able to supplement this and maxi
the session longer. This short ses-
sion is almost useless as far as the ad
vaucement of the children in the
branches of learning. With a poor
and injudicious selection Of teachers,
changing from year to year it is tn,
rule that the small appropriation fo'
the schools is used up yearly without
any visible results.
What is wanted is longer sessions,
hetter teachers and more interest in
The educational work by the peopl.
uanerally Will the Legislature d,
it's part toward the accomplishment
Of this vital work?

A match game of ball between a
picked nine from MOwisviIIe and the
HYDE Park club, came off on the Fin
negan grounds Saturday afternoon.
A large number of spectators were
present, both towns being well repre-
scented. The weather was fair. The
game was called at 80 with the Hyde
Parkers at the bat. They were al
lowed to make but one score. Not
to be outdone by this, they gave the
Morrisvillers a goose egg. In the
second and third innings Hyde Park
scored eight and MOrrisvlIle three.
The next inning resulted in a white
wash for Hyde Park, ana two scores
for MOrrisville. In the fifth inning
HYDE Park scored the largest number
for either side during the game, max
inc six scores. MOrrisville made five
in the same inning. In the sixth in
ming. Morrisville received another
whitewash, which they offset by giving
HYDE Park a whitewash in the next
inning. But few scores were added
to either side after this and the game
closed with a score of 20 to Is in favor
of HYDE Park. Time of game, about
two and one fourth hours. Some good
PLAYING was exhibited on both sides,
and of course some bad errors were
set to both sides. We think both
sides were well pitted against each
other, and have the material for an in
teresting game any time. f. Gray,
Of Montpelier, acted as umpire, and
although he did the best he knew how,
the usual amount of fault-tinding was
INDUCED in. Nevertheless the game
was a good one, and the boys were all
in good humor at the close. A return
game will probably be played at Nor
