CLUSTERING PROFESSIONS.
The Blaine Campaign Opening With
Big and Windy Talk.

WASHINGTON, June 17-The Blaine
Drag of carrying the presidential election
without the thirty-SiN votes of New York
exposes the weakness Of it's authors. In
the Ir sent condition of parties no candi-
date can be elected without the Empire
State, and whoever carries it will succeed
Arthur on the 4th Of next March. New
York represents alone more than one
eighth Of the whole number of electors
necessary to choose a president.
Equally absurd is the suggestion that
Blaine can carry West Virginia or North
Carolina He is associated with the late
Senator Henry Davis and others in rail
road and coal speculations in the former
State, but they do not and will not effect
the political situation in the least decree
The democratic majority in North Caro-
ina will far exceed thc usual average
this year, from local causes.
The democratic organization in Indiana
is more complete than it has been since
1876. and the spring elections showed a
majority of 5000 in round numbers,
which will be maintained, if not increas-
ed, in November.
\ clean vigorous, and competent can
didate whose public career inspires con-
tidence. and whose personal character
presents a contrast with that of the re-
publican nominee, will sweep the country
at the coming election. Pyrotechnic
politics and artificial enthusiasm will count
for nothing in a campaign, when labor is
impoverished, business is stagnant, banks
are failing from the swindling operations
of their managers, factories are shutting
up from overprOduction. and the farmers
are disconnected with the prices of their
products. The popular cry is for change
of administration, and the time has at
last come, after long misrule and cOrrup-
ton, when it can no longer postponed,
if the democrats are for once even mod
erately wise.

than one-third; that great deal of the

Unnecessarily Exercised.

1t seems TO us that the ANDERSON IN
TELLIGEaCEK is too much exercised be-
cause some Of tha brethren of the press
have felt inclined to cay unkind things of
MIR. Murray's action as Legislator.
Men who succeed in life, or rise above
the common level, seldom escape calum.
ny, and we see no reason why Mr.. Muir
ray should expect to be an exception to
the general rule. Mr.. Murray has always
had opinions and has not been slow TO
express them, aud he has not hesitated to
act in accord with his convictions. This
course has given pretext 10 his enemies,
and has furnished cause for those who
may be jealous TO assail him, and TO
charge bad motives in his conduct in
reference to the Railroad Commission
Law.
Mr. Murray being conscious Of the
rectitude of his own acts needs no de-
fence, and he should merely treat bis
assailanto with silence. Wo presume
that those who assail Mr. Murray would
not have the efrontery TO claim to be
better or moro honest than he is Even
il they did make such claim, we arc Of
opinion that they would find ii exceed
ingly difficult to get an intelligent public
to agree with them in that opinion.
Mr. Murray's acts as Legislator are
matters proper to be criticised, but we
fail to see any necessity or justice in AS
calling his character. But as MIR. Muir
ray has fared no worse than others who
have been needlessly assaled we do not
think ne need care much for what is now
being said about him.
We have often regretted that the press
OF South Carolina could not be unit in
joining controversies or criticisms with.
out aasailing character, or charging bad
motives to those who disagree with chem.
We are sorry that any member of the
South Carolina press should depend
largely upon personalities and misrep-
resentation Of any adversarye position.
Dir. Murray is at least as good as those
who assail him, and we trust that he may
henceforth treat with silence such as make
charged. instead Of just criticsmu.-Ab.
