What it Means.

Some of Mr.. Randall'S friends think
they see in his defeat for the Speakership
Il necessity for his nomination for the
Presidency. They argue that the South
having succeeded in getting its choice for
Speaker and pushing to the front the Free
Trade doctrine it will necessitate the
nomination of Mr.. Randall to inspire the
confidence Of the business interests of the
country in Democratic purposes. We do
not look at it in that light. Whatever
Presidential significance Mr.. CarlSle's
election may have, it points to Mr.. Nc
Donald, of Indiana, as the Democratic
leader in 1881. Mcdonald is in sympathy
larger free trade sentiment in the West
than in the North. The effort will be
made, therefore, to unite the South and
We st on Free Trade candidate such as
Mcdonald. and leave the North to the Re-
publicans The leaders in the Carlisle
movement think there is more hope for
the Democracy in Ohio, Indiana, Wiscon-
con, Michigan and other Northwestern
and the Pacific States. with the shape
that has been given the political forces in
the election Of Mr.. Carlisle, than in the
Northern States. They will make the fight
there, upon distinct line of policy affect
ing the revenues. There will be no more
lodging and trimming on the tariff ques-
ton. The Democracy means to be ag-
: gressive. 1t will Throw off all DISCUSSES,
!, J>r
This is the way it looks to us, and we
confess it presents q serious aspect for
the consideration Of the Republicans. The
Golden clubs have scattered their free trade
literature lavishly all through the West. 1t
has had some effect. Their sleepless Wig
lance ha, won to them many voters, who
have not had the opportunity to read cOun-
teracting views. The Tariff men have
made more noise, but have not been so in
cessant and Industrious in their plans to
have to be work done in the West
to stay the Free Trade current, and
much of it. The influence which won
in the Carlisle case. will have no use for a
Pennsylvania protectionist. That is pre-
cisely what they propose to antagonize,
and Mr.. Randall will not be thought of Sc
riously in the Democratic NationalC onven-
ton. The South and West are to be brought
together, if possible in political accord. and
the Pacific States pulled along. as best they
can. This is the situation that will have
to be met and grappled with. That is our
solution of the Carlisle movement. and we
give it for what it is worth

ViVe Voce.

The determination of the Democratic
Congressional caucus, last Saturday even
ing, when it assembled to nominate can
didate for Speaker of the House OF Repre-
sentatiyes to, vote uire roce. has a signlll-
canoe about it that does not appear on the
surface. 1t had been freely stated that
the Southern man who voted for Randall
over Carlisle, could not so back to his con-
stituents with any hope of succeeding
himself in the next Congress. At the
same time it was announced that Randall
had number of Southern members
pledged to him, and when the time came
to vote, his strength would surprise his
opponents This boast was predicated on
the secret ballot method Of voting. The
friends of Carlisle knew that if they could
unite the Southern members it would de-
termine the contest in his favor, as the
free trade members from the North and
West would vote against Randall because
of his tariff views. These consldera-
tions doubtless influenced the action OF a
majority of the caucus in adopting the rf,T
0oce method of voting.
1t is very apparent that the bourbon
Democracy of the South has got on its
war paint. 1t don't intend to have any
foolishness during the preliminary stages
| to the great contest of 1884. Any one who
wants any fayors must pin on his coat
sleeve ..solid Democratic South and free
| trade, or tariff for revenue only. :
Failure to do this would expose him to the
wrath of the machine and that would be
fatal to all party recognition.

cratic purpose and policy than is foreshad.

The Cotton Exposition.

1t is openly stated that the Nation
al Cotton Planters Association, Mr..
Z. Q. Morehead, President, favors
Cincinnati as the most desirable point
to hold tie proposed Cotton Centen-
NAL Exposition next year. The Ex-
position is to mark the centennial Of
the first cotton aver shipped from the
United States. In 1874 six bales we're
shipped to England and the custom
house officials at Liverpool confscated
it upon arrival, claiming that SO much
cotton could not have been raised in
this country. On Saturday last a bill
tending the recognition and moral aid
Of the United States to the enterprise
was passed by the House of Repre-
sentatiyes at Washington, having pre-
viously passed the Senate, through
which it was engineered by Senators
Garlandand George. and Mr.. Money, of
the House. 1t only needs the Presi-
dents signature to become a law, and
this, it is said, is assured. The bill pro.
vides that the United States governs
ment, the National Planters Associa-
ton and the city where the exhibition
is to be held are to jointly conduct the
affair through thirteen commissioners.
to be appointed by the President of
the United States. 1t also provides
for the opening and closing Of the
exposition by proclamation of the
President Of the United States, for the
ratification Of foreign nations, for the
entry of exhibits free Of duty, aud for
the coinage Of all medals awarded, at
the United States mints, and practi-
cally embraces all the features Of the
law which governed the Philadelphia
Centennial Exhibition, except that it
gives no financial assistance from the
government. Mr.. Morehead has been
congratulated upon his tactin expedit-
ing the bill, amid the rush OF public
business before Congress.

MAxlme Of BUSINESS,


MARRiAeE-A business man should
marry. as It gives him a stronger hold
in the mercantile world as we'll as in
social circles. Au old bachelor is
generally regarded as a rolling stone,
without any permanency in any re-
spect because his ties to a locality can
be sundered so easily. A married man
is generally considered as more sub.
stantal, more %unwaEering, more set.
tied and With stronger reason to have
a local habitatiOn and a good name
among his fellows, and with a stronger
tie Of interest in the place of his resi-
dence. Married men as well as single,
who have taste in such matters should
buy cigars and tobacco at Sol Cole
mans emporium with the assured
certainty Of being satisfied in every
respect.
