The regularity and frequency with
which the sage of Gramercy oscillates
between a moribund condition and one
of robust health has become monotonous,
and the suggestion is thrown out that
the venerable usufruet be fitted with an
attack of smallpox er govt or almost any

prising interviewer may have something
fresh to write about. PWsbntg Chronicle

Most of the Democratic statesmen who
think that this country can now worry
along without tariff on imports did not
make this important discovery until after
they had made fortunes varying from
81, OOO, 900 to 81, 900, 900 out of protected
industries. Gentleman like Mr.. Payne,
of Ohio, and Ex-Governor English, Of
Connecticut, can afford to be Carlisle
Democrats; tie people who work in the
mills and factories and on the farms of
this county cannot 49, Minneapolis 7ri-

Hancock and English ticket The
same thing is The matter with it that has
been the matter with the Democratic
tickets that have been run by the Demo

century. The quadrennial post mortem
examinations have shown that the sue

The Presidential campaign won't open
until the nominations are made. But
while the candidates have yet to be
evolved, the people are doing good dfal
of quiet thinking. The more they re-
fleet the stronger will tho Republican
cause become. The election of a Repub-
lican candidate means the continuation
Of the present successful policy of the
government aud the continuation of
prosperity. The election of a Democratic
President means the adoption of totally
unknown policy, which will be dictated
by party which has steadily opposed
the present policy.-DnJ"que Times.
Statesville On. c. A,nerteom: There
is no duplicity nor deceit about the Re-
publican party. Its principles are known
of all men aud the same tenets are held
alike in Maine and Texas, in Massachu-
sets and South Carolina, in North Caro-
lima, and in Illinois. The unprecedented
prosperity of the country, North, South,
East and West, and that prosperity made
possible and achieved under protective
tariff, attests the wisdom of the tepub-
lican party. and has won for it the es
TEEN and confidence Of the peoi lie. The
handiwork of the Republican party is
the financial credit of the country estab-
lished in the face of vindictive and
bitter opposition: and to-day, taking no
thought of making political capital, it

some plan and inaugurate measures to
remove from this land the curse and
blight of ignorance. In the meantime
the Democratic party, whose shadow
even now is falling athwa:t its grave,
is engaged in constitutional hair split
ting and invoking the ghost of State
Rights in opposition.

candidate would be in the South now.
The unfortunate divisions in opinion of
the leading Democratic statesmen of the
country will certainly split and demora-
lie the Democratic party OF the South,
and there will he no Solid South in the
Convention. Manufacturing has pressed

led by the nose by the arrogant bragga-

son and Carlisle. 1t will take strong
Southern man, who is conservative in a
radical degree. to meet the wants of the
Southern States and unite the desperate
factions whose bitter separation is
plainly manifested in every movement
and transaction that have observed in
my constant attention to the Southern
interests. If some famous Confederate
Statesmen, an able and brilliant man, IA
conservative and beloved hero of the
recent war, were to be placed upon the
ticket am sure the result would be a
cementing of all the power and vigor of
a great party upon an object, IN the pre-
sentation of which there would be per-
feet harmony. That fact is to me clear
and think it is to every well-regu-
lated mind-that the Democratic party

ranks of Importance. 1t is in position
of which it deserves to be ashamed. Its
whole record IS marked with mistakes,
and the sooner its elements dissolve and
unite with other parties which have
some principles in common the better
will it be for the country and for those
who cling to the faith. What we want
in this country is protection for our ma
terial interests, the abolition of political
crimes, the humiliation of large land
holdings, and the adjustment of the
jury system.
