A Warning.

Sn0 Vtocf outi-f upon MI
RANDALL and all those who agre
with him in his views upon the tart
question might lead to serious dissen
siops and TO much wrapgling within tn
Democratic party. All, OF nearly all
the Democrats who act with Mr.. RAN
DALI have invariably, so far as W
know and believe. kept themselye
upon the defensive. Not that they
have not sometimes censured theil
critics in strong language, but that they
have never denied that the CARLISLE
Democrats were true Democrats. They
have never proposed to read these lat
ter out of the Democratic party. mol
charged them with being allies of thu
Republican party. They have never
done aught that was calculated or in.
tended to make the voters believe that
the anti-Protectionists were not as re-
liable Democrats as Mr.. RANDALL or
any of his followers. We can think OF
but few exceptions to this general
statement.
Not SO with Mr.. WATTERsON and
his Democratic allies. They are con-
stantly seeking to make the impression
that the RANDALL Democrats arc not
as trustworthy as the CARLISLE DEM
ocrats. Eve use these names for con-
venicnce sake.) Here is specimen of
Mr.. WArrERsoN's utterances. He
says:
TN the work Of reform we don't
want to engage the paid attorneys Of
monopoly to apply the robber doctrine
OF protection, but in their stead up
right, disinterested. and enlightened
men. sworn to carry ont the spirit and
letter Of the Constitution. Mr.. Ran
dali, for example. is no more one of
these latter than Pig-lron Kelley. Both
hold their seats in Congress by the con-
sent and at the pleasure of class
grown powerful and arrogant upon spe-
cisl privilege and Legislative bounty.
On the leading question Of the day the
one is as much Republican as the
other"
Here is another
"The most important place in the
Cabinet is the sccretaryship of the
Treasury. In filling this place Mr..
Cleveland should beware Of the mis-
take which MIR. Carlisle made in an
pointing Mr.. Randall chairman of the
Committee on Appropriations. He
should select man who can be relied
On to advance, not obstruct, wise sys-
ten Of tax reform, and who upon all
fiscal policies is enlightened and con-
sentative"
BY the way let us say that Mr.. BAR
B0UR is snubbed in the same article
from which the latter extract is quoted.
OF our Virginia leader Mr.. WAITER.
SON says--what? Well, read, and
you will see that he says nothing. We
quote:
$ The South is more interested in the
Post-Ofiice Department and the Depart |
inent Of Justice. Mr.. Garland would
make an ideal Attorney General and
either Mr.. Jonas or Mr.. Money an ex-
cellent Postmaster-General."
So His High Mightiness scorns to
Mr.. BARBoUR's name. How
over, Mr.. BARBOUR is not our subject
Just now. Let us return to it.
Mr.. WATTERsoN's course has Of
ended Mr. CARTER HARRISON and
MS friends in the Illinois Legislature,
md the natural consequence was stated
"A q telegram from Chicago contained
n our issue Of yesterday. Three Demo-
ratio members Of the Legislature of IL
inois have declared that they cannot
'ote for Mr.. MORRISON, one of the
ruest Democrats in the land, because
hey do not concur III the opinions
Ehich he holds upon the subject of
Protecting American industries.
Can Mr.. WATTERs0N consistently
enouncc these three men for thus
olting tho nomination Of the Demo-
ratio caucus? OF course not. He is
stopped from so doing by his own
'ords. lie doesn't swami to engage
be paid attorneys Of monopoly to APP

Eecollect that this language is applied 4
