THE Charleston is. C) News and Courier says
that in its deliberate judgment the nomina ton
of Butler by the Democrats would shatter the
Democratic party. That there would be no
''solid South for Butler and no self-respecting
Southener would, under any circumstances

ST will be difficult says the Galveston News,
''to remove the impression of carefully prepared
Uredcnery IN Jne IuQen movement. whoever
in that movement does not admit that he was not
deceived, must admit that he himself practced
to deceive was guilty of hasty, inconsiderate,
wholly mistaken enthusiasm which in politics is

Portable if it were to come out fairly and
squarely for the Republican nominees.

to be that it is joke at which the Democrat

mouth. Said prominent citizen of Natchez the
other evening to group of men who were dis
cussng the new departure ''You may talk as
much as you please of negro supremacy, and
radical rule, and all that sort of thing but | do
not propose longer to support party which is
