Senator Vance's Popularity.

A number of our exchanges have given
currency TO the statement that Judge
Ruffin of Hillsboro will be presented by
his friends as a candidate for L. :. Sen
ator before the next Legislature. We do
not give G edence to the statement, which
is indeed little more than a rumor. III is
not correct. though at one time currently
believed, Ed F. 4 NJ 1t would not be a
good time to present Judge Rufin
claims. The chance are ten to one that
Senator Vance will be his own successor
Mr.. Vance is q man of great force ard
most astonishing popularity. We know
of No man In recent years, liz the STATE u
out. so universally popular, and he i
able as well. His speeches on the tariff
are among the best ever made.
Yet. what lesson are we to draw from,
our distinguished Senator's career? Few
men will deny that his phenomenal sue
cess and his greatness IN a measure are
the products of his u%nclean wit. He
does not hesitate to employ the most
shocking vulgarities In his public speeches
We believe there Is no other distinguished
pubic maH IN these times who would
dare to use expressions that Senator
Vance delights to use. lndecencies q
speech that would not be tolerated In
Others seem to be eagerly sought for By
Senator Nance's audiences.
h Is a queer world, and cranky
Eh1dbcth CITY Falcon.
We lave no reason, nor have we ever
had reason, to set up for a defender of
Gov. Vance, but on the basis of common
justice we must remark upon the above
as a very great and surprising cxagera-
ton.
1t is true that on the only occasion we
ever heard him speak. We received a
merited rcbuke for our boyish impudence
in suggesting las a member OF the Local
Committee) that he should mot tell any
bad stories to-day cause there viii be
intelligent, refined people present" Il
presume that my own sense of propriety"
said the Governor, lis quite equal to
to this or any OCCASION" And so far as
we know he was correct both then and
since. The simple fact Of his great pop-
ularity signifies one OF two things; either
tnat DIS language is not SO CT arse as rep
resented; or else that our people relish
such coarseness.
The truth of the matter probably is
that Senator Vance, like every other
natural orator, recognises the v%ariousness
OF mankind, and the necessity of mixing
his instruction with amusement to ensure
It's popularity with the masses. Winnow
any one Of his speeches of all Jokes and
anecdotes whatsoever and you will have
a substratum of sound logic and patriot
ism well worth listening to. And his life
abourds in acts worthy any statesman.
