Showing Their Hand.

Commenting on the action of the Demo-
cratic caucus. Saturday night, the staff cor
respondent Of the Tribune sends that paper
the following: IF the Democrats are sat-
isfed with the nominations the Republi
cans are certainly not less SO. In electinp
Carlisle, free-trader, by such an over
whelming vote over the protectionist Ran
dali, the Democrats have committed them
selves at last to some clearly defined policy,
with which they will have to 60 before the
country next year. That they had the NOR
al courage to do this is the subject of con-
graduation among Republicans to-day.
They had not looked for it. Indeed. by
most of the prominent members of the par.
ty here, the opinion was freely expressed
that the prospects for Republican success
had frightened materially since yesterday.
In the contest, too, for the minor offices,
the Democrats have clearly shown that it is
on the line of the Solid South they intend to
fight the coming battle that the Republicans
cannot but rejoice in having forced the hand
of their opponents, and compelled them to
reveal themselves In their true light, how
ever much they may deplore the fact that
sectionalism is once more to enter into and
to become one of the issues of the cam
paign. An illustration of the extent to
which this sectional feeling is being fostered
by the ''Brigadiers" is shown in the nomina-
ton of John B. Clark, of Missouri, for the
Clerkship of the House. Two ballots had
resulted in tie, and his opponent, J. d. C..
Athens, of Tennessee, was defeated on the
third only because he had served the Con-
federacy in the comparatively inofensive
capacity of Congressman, while Clark could
claim having fought actively against his
country of his own free will, belonging, as
he did, to a State which never left the I'm
ion. He had father, moreover, who dis
tinguished himself with his son under Ster-
ling Price, both Of which services are about
to ind recognition and their due reward at
the hands of Democratic House.
If another example were needed to show
the spirit in which the selections of the men
were made, it would be only necessary
10 cite the nomination of J. G. Wintersmitb,
of Texas, for Doorkeeper. Great importance,
of course, is attached to this post by the
true Democrat. 1t is one which carries
with it considerable amount of patronage,
and is, therefore, especially dear to the
heart of the eager politician whose appetite
has been whetted BY long and enforced alb
stinence. Mr.. Wintersmith's chief claim
upon the support of his party seems to have
been the fact that he served with distinction
under John Morgan.

The nomination at the Democratic
caucus Of Hon. John G. Carlisle for Speaker
Of the National House of Representatives
took good many northern Democrats bv
surprise. Il has been so long since the
southern wing of the party has demanded
recognition that the impression had become
firmly fixed that as between northern and
southern candidate for speaker il would not
require great effort to give success 10 the
former, and especially so when that candidate
was so thoroughly skilled in part, manage
ment as is Mr.. Randall. The impression
was that the vote in the caucus would be
close but that Mr. Randall would win
What was their surprise then, to find the
vote for MIR. Carlisle about double that for
Mr.. Randall. For years before the war. the
South dictated tn, policy of the Democratic
party, and now it looks as though the
time had come for it to resume its old
position. Under Northern management the
party has been vacllating 1t has lacked
the courage of its convictions and has been
content to follow along behind the Re-
publican party. Under Southern manage
ment the Democratic party will again be-
come aggressive. As a party it is com
mitted to the principle of free trade and the
election of Carlisle means that the party will
come out more openly in its effort to re-
duce the tariff than it has vet dared, since
the war
The question next year, will be whether
American industries shall be protected or
not. and it will not be "local ISSUE as
was claimed BY Gen. Hancock in the last
