Checked Too Much.

At Macon l became acquainted with
a commercial tourist. He toured for a
Philadelphia harness house, and he had
two trunks. AS soon as l found that he
had two trunks l discovered why he
came up to me in the reading room of
the hotel, reached cut the friendly hand,
and said that he had carried my photo
graph next to his heart for the last Z
years. He wanted me to check one OF
the trunks on my ticket as we went up
to Atlanta, and thus save him expense
on extra baggage.
Well, agreed 1t is seldom that try
to beat railroad, but one must do some
thing for his fellow man now and then
in this up hill road through life. 1t sn
happened that l had a pass around to
Montgomery via Atlanta, and handed
it to the baggage checker without a
thought of what might follow.
As u consequence, while the harness
house tourist dropped off at Atlanta
with tears in his eyes for my dislnter-
estedness, only one of his two trunks
dropped off with him. The other con-
tinued the ride with me for 15O miles
and after considerable telegraphlng II
went back to Atlanta by express. just
how much 1t cost him to fall IN love
with me don't know, but l assure him
on my honor that whenever | can gu
out of nv way again to oblige him, that
I shall cheerfully do so.-DetrOit Free

DEMOCRATIC bulldoZing in Louisiana
has become even too outrageous for
Southern Democrats to stand. McEnery
was nominated by such barefaced frauds
that they even disgusted the corrupt
Democratic politicians of the Crescent
City. The people thought they could
right the wrong at the ballot box, and
they cast large vote for Stevenson,
McEnery's opponent. Though McEnery
was overwhelmingly defeated, he is
making bold attempt 10 have himself
counted in. In several wards thousands
of straight Democratic tickets were de-
posted IN the ballot box in lump, but
at many voting places that game was
prevented by the vigilance of the Re-
publicaRs. The election took place over
week ago, but the returns are not all
in yet. In some precincts majority of
800 was returned for McEnery, but a
canvass of citizens has proven that the
majority v as really several hundred for
Stevenson. Our New Orleans special
yesterday stated that the proposition
gains favor tu refer the whsle subject to
Congress for investigation on the ground
that louisiana has not Republican
form of government, and that it is the
duty of Congress to maintain such gov.
ernment within the limits of the Union
A sufficient cause for Congressional in
reference undoubtedly exists. but it
will not be asked for, because the same
causes prevail throughout the whole
brOiherhuod of Democratic States in the

Words of Caution.

Republicans siio' Id be careful not To
forget that the party convention tn be
ht Id in Chicago in June nominates
candidate for the Presidency, but no
election takes place until November. 1t
should also be borne in mind ihat it
will require united party and full
vote To elect. One might suppose fIOm
the savage manner in which some of the
candidates are being criticised by Re-
publicans, that the question of who shall
be the President will be decided by the
delegates to assemble in convention, and
that the sore places that are being made
will have nothing to do with the vote
when 1t comes to be polled in November
This is mistake that should be avoided.
The voice of the Republicans in conven-
ton represented should be accepted as
the voice of the whole party, and not OF
mere faction. The party will have
enough to do to Hght the opposition in
the campaign and at the polls, without
wasting their strength in antagonizing
each other now or hereafter. 1t is fair
to assume that 10 one will be nominated
as the Republican standard bearer who
would not worthily fill the high Office of
President. As to who would be the
strongest man before the people and the
best man if elected. there are and will
be differences of opinion, but these shod d
not take such shape now as to cause
embarrassment during the campaign, and
Republicans who are for principles and
measures rather than men should work
themselves into frame of mind to ac-
cept tie result of the convention as final.
If there are people 80 unreasonable as to
dispute the binding effect of the con-
vention upon all who may be there rep
resented, they would prove a source of
weakness rather than strength in the
contest, and might as we'll be counted in
the opposition in advance.
These remarks are based upon the rea-
sonable supposition that while the con-
ventiun may not nominate the strongest
man. it will be sure TO place before the
country candidate whose public and
private record will be in accord with
the principles and policy of the party
Inasmuch as it will be impossible to
nominate everyhody's choice, the action
of the majority of the body fairly reached
must be acquiesced in if success is to be
attained at the polls.
There can be no objection TO a vigor
Gus canvass of the merits of different
candidates. This is not only allowable
but it is to be encouraged, but the criti
cisms should be fair and from the stand
point of loyalty TO the party. In thi.
: preliminary discussion within the party
it would be worse than fellV TO frame
weapons to be used against US in thu
Contest to be conducted before the peO
pie, or to carry forward the factiona
disputes of the past that can have nj
legitimate bearing upon the present C
future.
Throughout the few weeks that pre-
cede the action of The convention, thes
suggestions should be borne in mind. no
. forgetting for xn hour that after tn
nomination comes the election.-Ci
