Isn't IL folly 10 charge the party standing
upon that platform with being "Free-
Traders? Could language be palmer |!
OF course the Convention that adopted that
platform could not be guilty Of the incon-
sistency Of declaring at the same time for a
tariff for revenue only. Accordingly the
Chicago platform nowhere employs that
phrase. 1t was iu the platform Of 1880. II
is not IN the platform OF 1884. Surely this
fact does not argue that the Democrats are
Free Traders, but rather that they are not
Free Traders.
In this extremity, the Valley Virginidn
quotes from. the Democratic platform OF
1884 the following words, and insists that
they must mean ga tariff for revenue only"
We also quote from the platform:
"Federa taxation shall be exclusively
| for public purposes, and shall not exceed
| the needs OF the Government economically
| administered"
Now, we believe in protecting American
industries, but we Just as deyoutly believe
In the doctrine set forth In the words last
above quoted. We hold that all taxati on
whether Federal, or State, or municipal
should be exclusively for public purposes.
and that taxation should never exceed the
wants of the Federal, or the State, or the
city government economically administer
ed. The fact that the words ga tariff for
revenue only" were omitted from the plat
form is all The evidence we need to prove
tbat Mr. WArTrpSON could not induce the
Committee on the Platform TO recommend
their insertion.
But let all his be as Il may, no Democrat
in Virginia is going TO vote MALONE
ticket in order to secure either free trade
or a protective tariff.

Regulating Blaine.

There were two honest, sDOtless Repub-
licanS in President Grants Cabinet Ham
ilton Fish, OF New York, Secretary OF State,
and Benjamin ii. Bristow, OF Kentucky,
Secretary OF the Treasury.
Secretary Fish went on tue even tenor OF
his way during Grants two terms OF Office
and had no association whatever with the
venalities Of the Administration. The State
Department under an honest head is not
liable to the corruptions which prevail In
otter departments.
Secretary Bristow entered the Office OF
Secretary OF the Treasury to find the Gov.
eminent at the mercy OF plundering rings,
and robbed by consplracIes and frauds Of
a great portion OF the revenue. He imme-
diately set 10 work TO put a stop to such
rascalities and 10 bring the offenders to
justice. He did not pause when he found
that his Investigations led to the Threshold
81 the Executive chamber. His honesty
enlisted the Republican leaders against him
and forced him from the Cabinet.

with these two distinguished Republicans.

North Carolina.

General SCALES, Democratic candidate
for Governor Of North Carolina, is making
| asplendid canvass. The Asheville AdUaace,
speaking Of n joint discussion between
SCALES and YORK, the Republican candidate
for Governor, at that place few days ago,
says:
"Tbousands OF men poured into the town
from every direction TO hear the speaking,
the stream beginning TO flow as early As /
| O'Clock in the morning. The crowd was
immense and listened with evident satiSfac-
ton 10 the caStiga ion administered TO

| did any burrahing for the reyenuc-ring
| candidate. Or. York was thrown entirely
| upon The defensive, and his speech as re-
| ported seems TO have been apologetic aud
| explanatory merely"
The AdUGnce also says that YORK Is
already defeated, and testimony from other
| quarters would seem to justify fully this
statement. The more respectable Republi-
cans are very apathetic, owing to the fact
that YORK was foisted upon them by the
revenue ring, which in Western North Car.
DINA especially is simply unbearable in the
tyranny IL essays to exercise over both par
tics. In some OF the counties OF the State
feeling is intensely bitter and revolution
ripe. Taking Wake as an example, the
Greensboro Patriot says:
| "Iu Tho walso-oounty Republican Con
vSntion delegates alluded TO each other in
| the most complimentary terms as liars.
| scoundrels, thieves, and revenue officers.
In the District Convention they were still
more complimentary, calling each other
such pet names as id scoundrels aud
id Liars. There were minor charges OF
bribery, forgery, cheating, &C.. which
seemed 10 provoke neither comment nor
denial. Ii was a sweet mess. and charac-
teristic, by the way, Of Republican machine
politics."
The Charlotte Observer also eniorces the
idea that the party is torn TO pieces by in
ternal discussions. II says:
For several years the Republican party
Of this State has been passing through a
disintegrating process. and what is left of
it has been kept together through the ei.
i0Is mainly Of the internal-reycnue MI
chine. Its best and braniest men have

Not only this. but among the so-caled
leaders there Is distruSt and Jealousy. They
are watching each other as a cat watches
mouse. and with pretty much the same
motive and feeling and hope. They have
in their scramblcs for spois and efforts to
