This writer who would open old

condiary His poetic vaporings will fall
irsipid upon every intelligent and patrio-
fe man. but they are evidently intended

frpm observing that President Cleveland

its ELECTORAL votes would not have given
Mr. RIaine and the said editor comfort.
IN his race he can not perceive that the
come unfortunate causes which made one
section of this country Republican has
made the other Democratic. AT any rate,
is if not little "scrubby'' to talk about
the solid South? That the Republican
party stole the Presidency, is not that a
little stale?" Perhaps he has plead some
statute of limitation, that he imagines
would apply in the present case. No, it

hat his Democracy is so contracted that
has not yet lifted his eyes north of
Jason and Dixon's line" Is it not a

hey joined the Republican party? Who

warfare as the most inhuman of modern
ines? This editor says Zone had been

nat is simply untrue. The South since

fence against the North than that of
fusal to affiliate with tn
