NOTE AND COMMENT.

In q double-leaded editorial the Charleston
News and Courier warns the Democrats Of South
Carolina that they must be up and doing, and
then repeats Senator Voorhees, recent utter
ance. when he maligned General Harrison's
character. 1t says:
How is it in the Southg For the South there is little
hope of tranquility and prosperity, under the just ad-
ministration of equal laws, savein the continued DOM
ination OF the Democratic party. In South Carolina
the consequences of a change of administration would
be momentous. Mr.. Harrison is narrow, vlndictlve
and saturated with unreasoning hatred of the white
people of the South. This State. with Harrison as
President and the Congress in Republican hands,
would be in worse case than it was under Grant. or
Hayes or Arthur. These had their alleviations. With
Harrison there would be none. < The News
and Courier is no alarnist. 1t has no desire to dis.
tress or disauiet the people. What it has said is the
simple truth. and it would be worse than folly to
hide it, or ignore it.
The administration likes free trade 30 we'll
that it is still purchasing and importing English
blankets TO keep the soldiers warm, at the same
time Shaping lie the face American wool-grow-
ers and manufacturers. Last Sunday ten bales
Of blankets arrived in New York by the steamer
Aurania, consigned to j. B. Hamilton, Surgeon
general, U. S. A., Marine Hospital Service.

saving on these blankets is 80 cents apiece, the
government. Of course, paying no duty.
Hon. Roswell G. Horr, who is making speeches
in the State, and has addressed nearly fifty
meetings in the East and West since the cam
paign opened, has written q letter to friends in
Minneapolis, in which be predicts that Harrison
and Morton will carry every Northern State.
He estimates Harrison's majority over Cleveland
in Indiana at 10. 900, in Michigan at $4,000, in
Wisconsin at 9 5000. in Connecticut at 5000, and
in New York at 20. 900. New jersey he regards
as about even, with good chances for . small
Republican majority.
There never was a presidential candidate of a great
party 30 little known as Benjamin Harrison, Of lndi-
anapolis.-Boston Globe.
The Globe, in its great desire to belittle Gen.
Harrison. evidently forgets that such a man az
Grover Cleveland ever existed. Gen. Harrison
was q brilliant officer in the army. one of the
leading lawyers OF the country. q renowned de-
batter, and a member Of the United States Sem
ate long before the people outside OF New York
and Erie county even heard Of the Buffalo sheriff.
All the Democrats papers throughout the
country contain frantic appeals for money by
the national Democratic committee, when it 10
a well-known fact the committee has more
money this campaign than it ever had before.
The appeal ia regarded as simply a cover for
what il intends to do on election day in the way
Of purchasing votes. II it succeeds in Its de-
signs it will recite It's demands for funds as evil
dence that 1t couldn't have done what IL really
did do.
