observation-disclosures for President.


MIR. BENTON is said to have predicted
that Mr.. DOUGLAS would never be Presi-
dent of the United States, and to have
assigned as his reason for making that
prediction the fact that DoUGLAs's coat
tail hung too near the ground. Certain
it is that Mr.. DOUGLAS never became
President but whether the fact stated
by Mr.. BENTON had or had not aught to
do with his failure TO secure that Office,
is a question which we leave to every
reader to decide to suit himself.
JoHN SHERMAN will never be Presi-
dent Of the United States. He will be
defeated Of nomination, or if not OF
nomination certainly of election, by the
universal coupling Of his name with that
of the notorious ELIZA PINKsToN.
"Rum, Romanism, and Rebellion was
the CRY that secured the vote of New
York to Mr.. CLEVELAND IN 1884, and the
name Of "ELIzA PINKsroN will do as
much against SHERMAN in 1888 as that
CRY did against BLAINE in 1884.
The cry OF "fraud" will also follow
SHERMAN wherever he goes. He was
one Of the visiting statesmen who went
TO Louisiana in 1876 and had the vote Of
that State counted for Mr.. HAYES. lie
will forever rest under the imputation OF
having committed the greatest political
crime of the age. History has already
recorded her verdict--s verdict that will
never be overruled nor set aside. He by
implication confessed his guilt when he
declared in the United States Senate
that anything was justifable either in
law or morals that would keep the Demo
cratic party out Of power
This SHERMAN is the man whom Gene
ral MALONE asks the people of Virginia
to support for President. In his determi-
nation to do all that he can to force
SHERMAN's nomination by the Chicago
Convention. he has broken with his best
friends in the Republican party Of Viz
ginia. He knows the outrageous mea-
sures which SHERMAN has advocated as a
punishment to the South for standing by
the Democratic party; yet his own for
tunes are so closely bound up with those
of SHERMAN that he overloOks all these
objections and will do all that he can
10 send to Chicago from Virginia a
solid SHERMAN delegation. 1t matters not
that SHERMAN would. if he could. humi-
late the southern people. 1t matters
not that MALONE has to rely upon the
negroes in order to accomplish his pur-
pose. 1t matters not that MIR. BLAINE
is the first choice of majority of the
Republicans of Virginia Nothing can
turn the Boss from his course. Sink
or swim, live or die" he is for SHERMAN
first, last, and all the time.
Mr.. SHERMAN is, therefore, what Mr..
DOUGLAS was said to be-disqualified for
the Office of President His coat-tail is
not too short, but the memory of the
voters is too long.

TOLEDO AGAINST SHERMAN. Toledo,
Ohio, April 10.-The Republicans OF To
ledo held caucuses tonight 10 select dele
gates to the County Convention, which
meets tomorrow, and at which delegates
will be chosen TO the District and State
conventions. In spite Of Mr.. Blaine's
letter Of declination his friends were out
in force and captured two thirds OF the
delegation. In several wards the eau
cuses broke up in rows.
The Sherman candidate for delegate lie
Judge John Doyle, who lives in the Be-
cond Ward. ]. M. Brown, the Blaine
candidate, also lives there, and the fight
in that ward is fair criterion Of the sem
timent in the city. The Brown men
completely captured the caucus and Sc
lected fifteen out OF sixteen delegates.
In the Seventh Ward the fight was be-
tween John Kumler, representing Sher-
man, and Clarence Brown, anti-Sher-
man. The latter administered another
Waterloo to Sherman's friends. -NetO
York Herald.
What say Yosr, CAMERON, and the rest
OF the Blaineites Look at those coura-
geous BLAINE men in SHRRMANs own
State.

MIR. Conway's Letter-Again.

NAAs OOhWoy . AONSSA Rt5'AAe'
Recurring to Mr.. CoSwAY's discussion
OF the eleventh amendment, we quote
from it as follows:
"Should il now be decided that a State
has immunity from suit by its own citi-
zens, the results may prove more serious
than the disaster Of English bondholders.
There could be nothing to prevent the
virtual re- establishment OF slavery by any
State. Unless a State can be held re-
sponsible through its ministers, what
could prevent it from turning any por-
ton of its population into serfs ?"
That argument is certainly unworthy
OF Mr.. CoNwAY's reputation. 1t is as il
one should object that the power OF the
President of the United States to pardon
every convict in the land who was SEN
fenced to tie penitentiary by Federal
court was a highly dangerous power.
His argument is worse; for wherever a
slave could be found he would be set OF
liberty on q writ OF habcaS corpus. The
State would not need to be touched and
would not be touched.
Mr.. CONWAY is very much prejudiced
against what he considers the "repudia-
ton OF her debts by the State of Vir-
ginia, and hos not informed himself well
in the premises. We showed yesterday
how he missed the point entirely in dis
cussing the stability of State. He
does himself still greater injustice in the
paragraph quoted above ; for he seems
not to know that it would be entirely I'M
necessary to hold either a State or its
ministers responsible should any State
be so PROFESSIONALLY foolish as to under
take to re-establish slavery or serfdom.
The slaves would be freed in day.

The Indiana View.

In an interview on Tuesday in New
York with a World reporter that veteran
Democratic statesman Senator McDoN-
AID, of Indiana, said:
"IfI were in that body wonld give
up. no matter which side ] was on. If
] were with the minority l would con-
slider the matter in this way The money
TO refund the amount would come out of
the surplus already in the Treasury. No
one would be taxed to raise it, and there
fore no one would be hurt. What is
St7,000,000, more or less, to country
like this? The interests that must suffer
for want of the time now being wasted will
not glorify the record of these Obstruc-
tionists in the future. If | were with
the majority | would give mp, for that
would not be defeat; it would only be
delay, since the measure can be brought
forward again at any time and in this
case delay is not dangerous, for the
money to pay with is safely locked up
in the Treasury and cannot get away.
l would say 10 my opponents 1t IS
not easy TO submit to wrong but II
You are going to enter into revolution
ary tactics to defeat the will of the
majority | will not aid and abet yon in
defraudlng my constituents OF the ser
wee they have right to expect OF me by
longer contest OF course | think the
bill is right. How any fair minded men
can think otherwise is more than | can
understand. 1t is not according to
Democratic ideas to make fish of one
and flesh of the other interpretations any
more than individuals al should he
treated alike, and it is easier to refund
from our plethoric Treasury the money
that has been already paid than to collect
that part which has not been paid from a
people in many cases already sadly bur
dened."
On the other hand, the Lynchburg
NcpS says:
cit was a constitutional tax required
by the Government and collected
throughout the territory under Federal
jurisdiction 'apd, says our Louisville
contemporary, the demand that it be
refunded is nothing but treasury
raid"
Ii it was righteous tax Virginia still
owes several hundred thousand dollars
Of it, and ought to pay the debt. Surely
the NcwS will admit either that Virginia
ought to pay her unpaid portion Of it,
or else that the States which paid their
portions ought TO have the same re-
turned to them.

Finbustering and It's Consequences.

Flnbustering and It's Consequences.
The Washington correspondent OF the
Alexandra Gazette says:
General Lee told the GdzeffeS cor
respondent to-day that the Virginia dele
CATION, Democrats as well as Republi-
cans. were still a unit for the bill-the
direct land-tax bill.
The editor of the Gazette sympathlzes
with the friends of the direct-tax bill
but its Washington correspondent seems
TO sympathize with the other side. 1t is
rarely that the Gazette takes sides with
anybody or with any movement that Is
opposed to its anti-protectionist notions.
In fact, we infer that the Gazette cannot
see any reason for charging that the Pro-
tectionlsts "begsn this fight" That
paper, in speaking Of Mr. CHANDELIERS
bill, to which we called attention Satur-
day, says:
THE execution OF such law upon
the impoverished landowners Of Nlr-
ginia would be cruel burden, and the
idea Of 1t could only have been conceived
by one who nurses his hate Tor all parts
OF the South, as Senator Chandler does.
But, for all that, few can deny that it
was suggested TO the SOnth-hater re-
ferred to by the action OF the Democratic
opponents OF the direct land-tax bill.
nor that there is stern justice in it. In
free and equal country there rs no

should have been compelled to pay a
tax from which those of any other State
were exempt, or why that tax should
have been exacted in Alexandra, and
not III all the other cities of tine State. "
That is the way the Virginia delega-
tion look at the matter We suppose.
Another exchange says
"Mr. Randall comes in for large
share of the responsibility for the pres
ent deadlock i'll the House, his vote,
which was cast with that OF the two Re-
publiesas in the Committee on Rules.
having made the direct-tax bill the sle-
cisl order"
Think OF that. Mr.. RANDALL reported
rule, az it is called, though it was SIM
ply resolution fixing the time for the
consideration Of certain bills. The rule
was adopted by tao House Of Repre-.
sentatiyes. and by large majority.
And now be is charged with having fore
seen that the new rule would lead to fill
clustering. In the name OF common
sense, why not so back still further and
charge Mr.. CARLISLE with having caused
the filibustering by appointing Mr.. RAN
DALI member Of the Committee on
Rules?

Making a Night Of II.

II the nation wasn't suffering yester-
day morning from a hammering head
ache and a feeling of goneness in the
neighborhood OF the diaphragm-MAsoS
& DIxoN's line-then assuredly it has
constitution Of iron. Tuesday night our
representatives in Congress made San
other night OF it." An individual member
may make a night Of it and the conse-
quences not be felt beyond his own
anatomy, bat for the whole House to
engage in the business suggests a case of
national big-head with whole stableful

bling as it were, felt through sympathy
by the entire body polite. Our press

other things ii is stated that at $3.50 yes

bers wore bright faces That was natu-

it may seem, nearly all men have dis
position to "smile when the serious part
OF having made q night of it asserts
itself. In most instances the more Sc

that though Richmond has large area
(her people are we'll housed) all sections
