Politics About Home.
The New Tariff Bill.
Lewiston Journal.)

NLoWlsbOu OOuIudlsJ
The Morrison bill was not only denounced
by the friends of protection but was regarded
as crude and iniudicious measure by many of
the radical tariff reformers." So far as pub.
lie opinion has been expressed, the Hewitt bill
is criticised with equal if not more severity.
Aud yet it is said that some of the democrats
are scheming TO unseat republican members in
contested districts, in the hope of get ting this
bill through Congress. 1t is evident that they
are determined to disgust the country before
they get through with it.
Northern Cumberland Solid for Reed.
NAPLES, May IA.
To the Editor Of the Press:
1t is safe to say that the Republicans of this
section are very nearly solid for the renomina-
ton of Mr.. Reed. Indeed. we consider it
would be one of the greatest political plumbers
to supersede him at this time, and while we
have no doubt of his nomination at the con.
vention and OF his triumphant reelection, we
hope that those who have been disposed to
favor some other man for representative may
see the error of their ways, and that when the
convention meets the feeling for him may be
entirely unanimous. The Republicans OF nor
thern Cumberls nd are wide awake and en-
thusiastic. We shall present TO the conveu-
ton the name OF David II. Cole, Esq, of Ma
pies, as candidate for state senator, and we
think we may reasonably look for his nomina-
ton. NAPLES.

'For the first time record, Gladstone's oratory

COL. o. C. KING.

Some of our friends think our
move in putting the name of Col. O.:
G. King for congress was premature.
Some of them think we ought not to
place candidate in the field at all ;
others think we ought to have a
convention. Every one has a right
to his opinion We have right to
ours. Mr.. King was ready and anx-
ious to make the fight single handed,
and we took our course before the
split in the Republican convention.
We could hear ofno other Democrat
who was ready and willing to make
the fight. Hence our course. We
still believe that Mr.. King ought to
be accorded the race, but, if it is de-
cided to hold a convention, no one
will abide by its action more cheer
fully than the editor of the Courier.
What we want and desire is the
thorough organization of the party
in the district We cannot organize
unless we have a full ticket and de-
eide to fight all along the.

TIE. ATTACK UPON KELLY

Carp" the correspondent of the
Cleveland Leader, gives the follows
ing account of Gen. Bragg's on
slaught upon Kelly and Tammany
in the recent convention. Says the
correspondent: AS he opened the
attack with his first sentence, in
which he said he "liked Cleveland
because Tammany was his enemy"
Gen. Bragg's eyes looked like those
of tiger, and he turned his head
towards John Kelly with wither-
ing look. AS he closed it, a thick
set young man rushed from the
New York delegation, and in an in
slant stood below Bragg on the floor,
his arm raised as though his hand
held a dagger, and his eve V feature
glowing with passion. 1t WAS Tom
Grady. In short. crisp words he
hurled Bragg's defance back into
his teeth, and then turning walked
slowly back to his stand near Kelly.
[ watched him as. Bragg went on
relentlessly stabbing him and his
Tammany friends. Every feature
of his face blazed with defiance His
heavy jaws were tightly closed, and
[ thought [ could hear his cruel,
strong, white teeth gritting together.
Kelly, in front of him, was placid
as mill pond, He sat like statue,
his cold blue eyes looking straight
into Bragg's flashing orbs, and not
a muscle of his face moving. His
crater, Mr.. Cochran, sat beside him.
lie like Grady, was angry, and the
the lines of brutality in his dark,
greasy looking face appeared more
prominent than ever. Grady will
certainly carry out his threat against
Cleveland at the polls, and after
Bragg's action of to day, | doubt net
that Kelly will support him. The
Cleveland men applauded Bragg's
speech to the echo, and as they did
SO John Kelly looked calmnly over
them. l doubt not he damned them
in his heart as he did SO.

A SUGGESTION FOR MR.. BLAINE.
New York San

New YORK san.
When Mr.. Blaine's eyes are sore
with gazing reproachfully upon the
kickers in New York and New En-
gland he turns them hopefully To
the South. In Virginia and West
Virginia, in Tennessee, North Caro-
lima and Florida he hopes to find
some compensation for the losses
which he may have to bear in Mass
sachusetts, Connecticut and New
York. To repel the strenuous as
saults made upon his battered char
acter he is even said to be planning
a sally into the heart of the enemy's
country. Hints are made that he
may invade the South. The plan
is an interesting one, and perhaps 1T
is to be hoped that it will be carried
out. Mr. Blaine's campaign in the
Southern States would be in the
nature of forlOrn hope, and for
lorn hopes are always exciting and
attractive. The magnet might not
draw very much fIOm the South,
but the South would draw much
entertainment from his perform
ances. Brother Blaine has an active
Imagination and a heneyed tongue,
and nobody knows what antics
these gifts may lead him to play
with facts. If he concludes to adorn
the Southern stump we shouldn't
be at all surprised if he assured his
Southern hearers that he was a
Southerner by birth and that he
sympathized with the South in the
civil war. The wise discretion dis
played both by him and his substi-
tute in that war would bear him out
in making the latter assertion.
