The Hon. c. A. Stainback, of Somerville,
Tenth Congressional district delegate to the
st. Louis convention, and the Hon. X. f..
Looney the retiring national executive COM
mitteeman, reappeared on the streets of
Memphis yesterday. They were received
with the usual enthusiastic compliments
over the work done by the convention, but
bore their honors with becoming modesty.
Mr. Stainback, in brief conversation with
an ArPEAL reporter, expressed himself as
being somewhat weary over his arduous la
bors for his party at Nashville and st. Louis
but ready to give his days TO the cause until
nature would and could endure no more.
Mr.. stainback is one of the genuine Demo-
cratic patriots, whose labor Is one of love.

The Difference.

The N. Y. Herald brings out in bold
relief the difference between the Repub-
licans and Democrats on the tax reduc'
ton question:
"The Republicans would take the tax
off of whisky, beer and tobacco ana lei
the matter rest there for the present.
"The Democrats would take the tax of
of fuel, that the people may have more
comfortable shelter, and off of raw wool,
for two reasons-first, that the poor man
may have warmer and cheaper clothing,
and, second, because free wool will start
scores of mills that are now shut down
and give employment and good wages
to thousands Of workmen."
These are the facts and TIE Represen.

The National Democratic Convention.


The question is under consideration.
where the National Convention of the
Democracy for the nomination of a
Presidential ticket, shall be held. Sew
eral prominent places have been pro-
Posed-New York, st. Louis, Chicago
and San Francisco. The latter, in con-
sequence Of its distance and expense of
reaching it, is out Of the question. As
to accessibility, no objection can be
alleged to either st. Louis or Chicago.
They are both central enough for prac-
teal purposes. So is New York CITY.
but on the ground Of expediency, the
reasons are wholly with that great i'm
perial city of the Anne rican continent.
It is now decided that Mr.. Cleveland
will be nominated. The Democracy of
the country have determined it, and
the Convention will simply put their
will into execution. New York il one
Of the pivotal States. 1t may almost be
said, 50 far as the pending election is
concerned, that as abe goes, so goes the
election. Therefore, nothing should be
left undone to influence the result in
that State. Nothing can be gained by
holding the Convention in Chicago.
Illinois is joined to her idols. Nor in
st. Louis. Missouri is poised on her
Democratic base, as firmly As the Alps
on their foundations of granite. Let
the Executive Committee select New
York City. But If thereare insuperable
objections to that place, then why not

editor Of this paper:
New Mississippian.l
While We have been upon almost
every question that has arisen for years,

The last issue Of The CLARION con-
tains the farewell card of Mr.. Oliver
Clifton, who has for the last three years
edited that journal. The readers of
TIE CLARION, and the public generally,
have regarded Mr.. Clifton as one of the
most graceful and forcible writers of
the State, and his host of friends will
regret that he has laid aside his trenchant
pen. He leaves the profession of jour
nalism with the best wishes of the
writer.
Vicksburg Post: The last CLARION
contains card frem Mr.. Oliver Clifton
announcing his retirement from the
editorship of that journal. We regret
very much to see Mr.. Clifton leave the
editorial ranks, as he filled his place
with great ability and gentlemanly
courtesy.
Vicksburg Democrat: The State press
will lose an able, bold and fearless
writer in the retirement from the tripod,
of Mr.. Clifton.
Raymond Gazette: The last number
Of the CLARION contains the farewell"
of Hon. Oliver Clifton as editor of that
paper. The announcement will be re-
ceived with unusual regret, and the
wish will be general that he may again
mount the tripod and WELD the graceful
and trenchant pen that made him so
many friends. There are few editors of
the State for whom the writer has
higher or warmer personal regard than
Oliver Clifton. the soul of honor, con-
scienti6us to q fault, steadfast and as
immovable As the rock of Gibralter,
1 there is no wonder we should so admire
his character as q man. TIE CLARION
will hereafter be under the editorial
conduct of Col. ]. L. Power.
He viii keep the paper up to its present
high standard Of excellence and con-
tinue to deal strong and telling blows
for Democracy and reform.

THE Lauderdale County Alliance has
adopted resolutions very earnestly de.
handing the calling Of State COusti-
tuiiohal Convention. and has suggested
the calling of q special meeting Of the
State Alliance to consider the question.
The CLARION has, for many years,
favored a Constitutional Convention
and the conviction of its necessity
deePens with reflection. It is one Of the
great questions to be considered by the
present Legislature; and we sincerely
hope that instead of adopting amend
ments with view TO submission to the
popular vote, that the people may have
1he opportunity Of selecting their best
representatives to a Convention that
shall make = new Constitution adapted
TO the spirit and progress of the age.
The cost of holding such Convention
is a small matter compared with what
might be saved by less complicated and
more economical government machinery.
Our columns are open to discussion Of
the subject.
