THE Columbus Riflemen returned in
fine shape from the Aberdeen drill on
Friday night, having carried off the
fourth prize. The difficulties under
which u company want have already
been enumerated by us and the result
of the drill was a gratifying surprise
to many. Not one word of complaint
has been heard from a single member
regarding the decision and to a man

praise Of their reception and treat

of that place with their ~proverbial

company gave it as their opinion that
the West Point Rifles were the best

The Ex-senator Refuses to Deny
or Affirm the Statements Of the
Interview.
Special to the C~OurlerJOurnal.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The New
York Sun interview with ex-senator
Conkling, published to-day. created
quite a sensation In political circles.
In the interview the great New York
er everlastingly goes for Davenport
and the Republican State ticket, and
pays the most sarcastic and whitening
respects to the Half-breeds of the EN-
pire State. Mr.. Conkling is in the city
and was besieged by newspaper
men and friends to-day in regard
to the interview. He was as naughty
and defiant as usual, and refused to
talk much about the matter. He is a
little bit too high-strung to admit that
he subjected himself to the indignity
of a newspaper interview on the sub
iect Of an election in New York or
any other subject.
"Of course said he, II can not tell
what some newspaper writer may have
seen fit to impute to me, but / have
not authorized IN interview on the
subject you name"
There is but little doubt that the in
terview correctly represents Mr.. Conk-
ling's opinions regarding the Republi-
can nominations in New York,
whether the publication was author
lied or not. The friends of the ex-
Senator here, who have heard him des-
cant in private conversation upon the
fallen greatness of the Republican
party, while they would not have
been greatly surprised at a little
public outburst, where wholly unpre-
pared for the terrible arraign-
ment Of the party management in New
York which he has made. They know
the power he once wieldediu the State,
know that he still has a large follow
ing, and fear the effect of his utteran-
ces upon the result Of the campaign
Prominent Democrats here are very
iubilant over the publication, and con
idently predict that the election of
Hill is now rendered absolutely certain.
Mr.. Conkling has always been fond of
dealing in surprises, but this has been
the greatest blow that he has inflicted
upon the party whose foremost repre-
sentative he once was, and which fail.
ed to stand by him in his hour of po'
litical need, and yet his invective is
not so much directed against the party
as against the men who have obtained
control of the party machinery. Mr.
Conkling strikes hard when he strikes
at ALE and the Republicans may at.
tribute the defeat which is now appa,
rent principally to the assault of the
Empire statesman.

A Captains Fortunate Discovery

so that he was unable to sleep, and

WASHINGTON.

The Bloody Shirt sIanders--sher-
mans Motives In ReViVing Sec
tlonal Hatred ReVealed--Ma-
homes Methods - Encouraging
Prospect Of Democratic Success
In New York.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26-Mr. Sher-
mans malignant speech of Saturday
evening, in this city, is published in
the National Republican to-day. 1t
bears the ear marks Of careful revis-
ion, but is excessively bitter and I'M
%scrupulous.
He insists that the cotton States in
the last Presidential election were con-
trolled by fraud, so that with a fair
count Blaine would have been elected.
Sherman is not satisfied with this
shameless falsehood, but he goes on to
utter the extraordinary statement that
this SANDER is admitted by the repre-
sentatives and leading people of the
South.
In taking this line Of bloody-shirt
SANDER in Ohio Mr.. Sherman has two
motives: One, to unite the Ohio Re
publicans on the old platform of hate,
and thus avoid the liquor issue; and,
secondly, to steal Blalne's thunder by
an issue which would make him
Sherman the favorite of the Radi-
Gals for the nomination of 1885, as
this card of appealing to sectional pas
sion goes further with the Republicans
than anything else.
1t is believed that Blaine, Hawley,
Evarts and all the Republican candi-
dates will jump in on the same line
and attempt to get up a grand bloody
shirt debate in Congress next winter.
The National Republican also re-
publishes the Blaine address of Nov. 8,
1884, which aroused such severe con.
demnation of the public press.
Mr.. Sherman is now about under
taking his trip to make speeches in
Virginia. His raid into the State will
do his party nc good, but will, on the
contrary, serve to rouse the man
hood of the people to renewed
exertions to saw the State.
The Virginia Democrats are not
afraid of any oratorical efforts of Sher-
man, Logan or Foraker. What is re-
ally to be- dreaded is the large sums Of
Republican money now being poured
into the close legislative districts.
While Malone is getting strong 6nan-
cial help from abroad, the Virginia
Democrats get none or next to none.
Malone has issued a circular which is
intended to secure a quasi military or
~ganization of the negro vote, to muster
them early at the polls on election day,
taking precedence of the whites, and
to have every negro voted under a
white inspecting officer.
The pretense assigned for this is a
fair election, but the real object is to
coerce the black vote, and to prevent
any Of them being cast for Lee or the
Democratic candidates for the Legisla
ture. This Republican attempt to oc
cupy the polling places and coerce thu
black vote will probably lead to coils
ions.
AS the day of election in New Yorl
approaches the ~braggadocio of the Re
publican papers is tinged with a strong
shade of doubt. They are now be-
ginning to say that the Republicans
are in danger of losing New York by
over confidence in the result. The
news of the Democrats, however, is
very encouraging. Hill is strong with
the labor element.
The Democratic State Committee has
just issued a strong address, which il
calculated to do a great deal of good

RACE 70 RACE.

Some Of the cOlored people are
taking the withdrawal Of Beck in the
proper spirit. and some, we are sorry
70 saw. are not. We should be false
IA the best interests of the county, If
we did not publish the fact, that many
of the eolored voters, instead of
REJOICING that good relations between
the races will not be disturbed, are
grieved that they have no white man
to lead them, and are sore because
they will not have the opportunity to
60 to the polls and vote against the
whites.
There is a week for them to reflect
over this matter, and If they come to
the roper conclusion, they will be
able to benefit themselves very much
with their ballots.
There is two courses for them to
pursue. One is to vote the Democratic
ticket with the whites; the other is to
vote for the few opposing candidates,
who, If elected, can do the colored
people no sort of good. The
great majority of the best citizens
would be glad to see the colored voters
walk up in a body and boldly vote the
open Democratic ticket. Such an act
under present circumstances is proper
and right, and it will do more for
them with the powerful white race,
than for them to vote all their lives
for a few struggling Independents. If
they do that and overwhelm any who
dare oppose the whites, they may
rest assured that when the next
election rolls around all will be done
for them as a race. that can be safely
conceded. But this is the iultimatum,
the last say Of the whites. The negroes
must drop their White leaders and
treat directly, race to race, a0th the
WhtteS, or they mast look to their Dhite
leaders to secure them recognition and
pro0tde for their education and future
prosperity. If they still dream that
they can have any success in this coun-
ty by following white leaders against
the tax payers and good citizens
they are mistaken. The day of
day of white bosses in this gallant old
county of Warren is a thing of the
past; notwithstanding negro voters,
strikers, the "bar'l," hill or high
water, it is past forever.
If the colored voters desire to vote
the entire Democratic ticket openly, II
they have sufficient appreciation Of
what freedom means, and the nerve tt
do it, the whites would feel grati6ed; il
the colored voters do not wish to vot'
our ticket they can let it alone.

The Fox and the Grow.
To the Editor of the Star:

NEW YORK, Oct. "a.
Senator Edmunds said last night at
the Republican meeting that "the
Democrat or the Independent who
voted for Mr.. Cleveland last year is do
ing him the best service he can by vot-
ing for Mr.. Davenport this year." Let
me remind those Democrats of the
fable of the fox and the crow. The
fox induced the crow to let him hear
her brilliant voice. In complying with
the fiattering request the crow dropped
her cheese, which the fox ate laughing
ly, %ridiculing the crow for her igno-
rance. So the Republicans, if they elect
Davenport through Democratic votes,
will laugh at them. A. L.

THE SOUTHERN FREE TRADE
HTHR

About twelve years ago the move
ment began in this city, which rescued
The whole South from seallawagism,
carpetbagism and negro rule. The
movement at first was very small. We
we're in it in all its feeble stages, in
storm and in sunshine, and we never
for a moment doubted the final result.
We knew then and know now, that the
principle is sound that the intel
ligent citizens and those who
own a country under a republican
form of government, must rule it,
Standing by that principle and enforc-
ing it freed the South.
On Monday night a few gentlemen
who believe as firmly in the free trade
principle met together and organized
the "Southern Free Trade Club" The
beginning was small but earnest, the
material good, and the interest mani
fest. The object is all important to the
whole Republic, but more particularly
SO to the agricultural sections OF the
Union. 1t is simply to secure custom
house taxation, that shall not exceed
the wants of economical government
and that shall be so levied al to beal
as lightly on the masses of the people
as possible, and hamper commerce tc
the least extent.
All those in favor of that object are
asked to enroll their names, and al
Southern cities, towns and commune
ties are urged to start similal
clubs. If that policy should
prevail all over the South, the NORTH
and the West, our section would have
powerful allies in the agricultural sec
tions, and a glorious victory would b.
won over those in favor of perpetu
ating wal taxation. In addition t
that grand result, John Sherman ant
other bloody-shirt, sectional howleri
would have to defend themselves in
stead of making an aggressive, Sian
derous war on the South.

only because they are not allowed to introduce

only reason for all this agitation. The Presby-
terrain is not allowed to teach his Confession
OF Faith nor the Episcopalan his Thirty nine
Articles nor the Methodist his Book OF Dis
clpllne," the Baptist his peculiar views about
immersion" and none of these brethren make
any complaint. On the contrary, they and their
denominations applaud the wisdom of such an

brethren do complain, "agitate' and threaten

cause. forsooth, they will not pass bill enabling
and requiring Roman Catholic priests to visit
the State institutions and celebrate mass, which
is dlstinctively sectarian ceremony. This is
