II begins TO look as II tho political despera-
does we're determined to give the election for
president away this year rs the only means
and hopes of pcrpetuating tho internal
revenue law, in which is embraced the pro-
lection OF tho whisky nopoly.-NashUuio

Mr.. Morrison is the patron of tho whisky
bill as we'll rs of the tariff bill. In the lat
tor capacity he denounces all attempts on tho
part Of the government 20 foster private in
forests In the former capacity he demands
government protection for private interests

In tho old days tho democratic party
gained and held its power MS an anti-protec-
zionist party, and IL made the era of cheap
living. IL will never win control of the
federal government on any other fight; for
this s really the only thing worth fighting
for-Rdieigh (M ca Chronicle.
Mahoneism has been killed and buried so
frequently that reference TO IL has become n
mania with the bourbon editors, or they
would permit II to rest. But tho truth of tho
matter " Mahonesm will not remain killed
its life involves the death aud destruction of
poor old Virginia bourbonism.-Rich
Wig
In bravcly coming to tho assistance Of
New York in this manner Gov. Cleveland at
one aud the same stroke places the people of
tho city under lasting obligations to him and
renders his nomination TO the presidency by
tho democrats out of the quostson. Ho has
inflicted q mortal injury on Tammany. and
whom Tammany frowns on no democratic
convention dare nominate Chicago Herald.
As TO the tariff the democrats arc having n
terrible collision between their principle and
their policy. They arc free traders as o class,
but FREQ trade means defeat and IL is ques-
ton whether they can stultify themselves
for success. III they do, they will BIO defeated
as dishonest men, whereas IL they do not,
they will be defeated as mistaken ones and
1t remains to bo seen whether they shall
risk their principle or their policy in the
iight.-Bdltimoro Herald.
Mr.. Morrison ingeniously defends the
whisky extension bill by saying it is not
special legislation in the interest Of any body,
but TO relieve parties from special disabii-
ties imposed by the internal revenue laws
upon particular interest. Mr.. Morrison il
wrong in this as in many other things. Nc
republican of republicans ever advocated
legislation in tho interest of capital and
against interest of tho producer moro Ger.
tainly than he does now. We are afraid Mr.
Morrison will have to BIO turned out of the
democratic party.-PetersJurg Inder appeal.
Recently 1 have taken pains to get the
feeling of men about Arthur and my belief
is that he is well approved of and liked. His
quiet, conservative course has turned the
suspicion which attended his accession to the
presidential chair into cherished confidence
The conservative classes are glad to let well
enough alone. 1t will be very strong man
on the democratic side who can beat Arthur
in Ohio. Perhaps you will say OF me that II
is rather conceitod to express these decided
opinions, after doubling the honesty or good
judgment of the professional politicians. Yet
please take them from one who is unparti
san and who in truth is rather Indifferent
who wins.-Ohio letter in New York Mail dno
