The Way to do IL.

Chairman Il. II. Battle, for the Demo
cratic Executive Committee, has publish
Cd an address to the people of North Car
DINA, in which he reviews the platforms
and candidates, and which ends with this
excellent advice:
''Work TO be effective must be organiz-
cd. Let the county committees every
where be composed of good men, intelii-
gent, active, Jealous Democrats. who will
see that the township committees are fully
organized and in working trim. Let the
township committees report regularly and
fully to the county committees and let the
latter report in like manner to this com
mittee. Let Cleveland and Scales clubs
be formed in every township and neigh
b0rhood in the State; and let the Demo
cratic hosts, organized and equipped like
a great army, march on under the banner
Of honesty and reform to triumphant and
glorious victory in November.

In many Of the Southern States the col

IEr. G. Edgar Leach.

Mr. c. Edgar Leach attended the Con

Kelly spokesman, was cool ana collected.
He would assume an erect and independ-
ent attitude when the audience would hiss
him, and quietly wait until the uproar
ceased, after which he would proceed with
his speech He says that Manning and
Fellows look like leaders, and Cleveland's 5
success must be due in a measure to their
excellent management Of his campaign.
Mr. Leach says that train hands, street
car drivers and good number Of the
hard -fsted fellows generally, were whoop-
ing for Butler. That among the lockers
on in the Convention Bayard had many
friends; that many excellent pairs of
lungs were impaired hollering for the old
Roman from Ohio, but when Cleveland's
name was mentioned it seemed that the
entire twelve thousand would get crazy.
Mr.. Leach was one of the few Tar-hecls
that put on a Cleveland badge immedi-
ately on arriving at Chicago.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Free

timely article on the question of public
morals. 1t intimates that while the people
are bending their energies in the direction
of the temperance reformation, they are
evidently neglecting other important moral
questions. 1t calls attention to the fact that
on the calendar of our circuit court at the
last September term there were found the
following causes, viz: Adultery 1, incest !,
bastardy 1; at the November term, bas-
tardy l, rape ], assault with intent TO COM

intent to commit rape 1. and at the April

safe to say that seven tenths, if not eight
tenths, of the republicans of Michigan are ir
favor of the nomination of James G. Blaine
for president, and the state delegation tc
Chicago next month should be solid foi
him, if the decided choice of the party is tc
be regarded as binding. A delegation di
vided neutralizes itself, and loses the infiu
ence it should have in the national con

Gratis, and forty-one democrats voted with
the republicans, on the motion to strike out
the enacting clause of Morrison's monstros-
ity. Commenting on the result the Detroit
Free Press says; "Let Randall. Eaton and
the rest of their crew take their places in
the ranks of the party whose cause they
uphold, and to whose principles they are
nominally attached. Upon the only vital
question dividing the two parties-the only
great issue before the country-they are
thoroughly anti-democratic." =
'lf nothing else is done, the sloughing of
OF protectionist democrats will leave the
party cleaner, better, healthier and stronger
than before"
The forty-one democrats who voted with
the republicans were from the states of New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey. Cali
fornia, Maryland, Illinois, Connecticut
Louisiana, Virginia and West Virginia, and
constitute one-ffth of the democratic mem.
bers of the House. The republican party
will be entirely willing to acceptthe suggestion
Of the Free Press and receive into its ranks
one-fifth of the democratic party, provided
they espouse the republican cause. The

called upon to explain and elucidate how q
party can be strengthened by losing one
voter out of every five.
