Caught.

Tie Democratic press trt ated The cOun-
try last week to a sensational statement
to the effect that 1000 Irish Americans
who had voted for Blaine in 1884 had de
clared for Cleveland. 1t was rolled as a
sweet morsel under the parched Demo
cratic tongue. How the story originated
is infinitely related in recent issue of the
New York Tribune. Early in the cam
paign Edw'd p. Rowe and John J. Meony
approached Chairman Quay, with the
proposition that for 81 900 they would
give the Republican candidates 1000 irish
American votes. There was some diff.
Guilty in getting an interview with Mr..
Quay. Finally it was brought about. The
proposition was made and Quay asked
them to put it in writing. This was done.
And when they called again they were in
formed that the Committee would have
nothing to do with them or their PROPOSE.

these facts became known. it aroused the

Republican Electors.

Several friends have asked lis why we
have not placed at the head Of our edi-
torial columns the Republican electors for
the State. Tue cause is that in some dis
tricts there are contests, one of which was
settled Tuesday but how we have not heard.
In the 18th district there are two appoin-
tees claiming the position. We learn that
a proposition is pending for friendly
of the controversy in that dis
trict Only last week the 9th district was
by the appointment of Col.
SIemp to supply the vacancy occasioned
by the resignation of MI. Gleaves. In our
next we hope to te able to print the cleo
toral ticket as it will be voted by the full
Republican strength in November next.

Discussion at Amherst G. Ell.

On Monday last Messrs. j. Yost and II 8.
st. q. Tucker met in joint discussion at
Amherst G. H. Mr.. Yost led off and the
terms agreed upon there are to be OBJ
served in all future joint discussions, al
ternating the positions of the candidates
at each meeting. The discussion on Mon
day was courteous and dignifed and moth
ing transpired to disturb friendly rela
tiOns During the remarks of Mr.. Tucker
he stated that he would favor the Blair
Educational Bill. if the proceeds of the
sales of public lands could not be com
manded for public school purposes. This
concession is an advance step in obedience
to public sentiment. But MIR. Tucker
will have to get off the Democratic plat
form and renounce the candidacy of MIR.
Cleveland, to be consistent. He should
not forget that the Roanoke Convention
declared for the Blair Bill. and that the
Democratic members of Congress after
wards voted for Mr.. Carlisle for Speaker,
Notwithstanding the charge of Senator
Daniel that he had defeated that measure
by forming the Educational Committee
hostile to it. Nor should he overlook the
further fact that the Democratic del gate
to the st. Louis Convention, endorsed the
platform adopted there aud the candidates
nominated, although both are against na-
tional aid to public education. The fact
is, the Democratic party, as represented
in the only body with authority to.give
practical national aid to the cause of pop
uIar education, is against it. We're Mr.
Tucker to be elected and take his seat III
a Democratic House, he would have to
obey the caucus dicta, and for all prac
tical purposes he could do nothing toward
the object the people desire. The only
way to secure liberal and fair treatment to
the South in this respect, is to elect Re-
publican President and Republican Con
gress and the needed assistance to improve
the condition of the illiterates of the South
would be forthcoming.
Messrs. lost and Tucker will meet in

The Findiedtor is becoming insaney
enthusiastic in its new role of Free Trade
advocate. 1t has set phrases upon which
it plays with vigorous hand, and as
sumes that the ignorance of the people is
commensurate with its enthusiasm. When
it speaks Of high taxes as a result of pro-
lection, il argues itself either more igno-
rant or more insincere than the average
farmer Of 30 years of age. There is not
an article that is in use in the house or
On the farm that is not from 25 to SO per

ton cloth. calicoe5 and domest1cs gentf-
ally are from 35 to so per cent. cheaper
ton than they were previous to 1861
Nails are SO per cent. cheaper; farm ma
chinery and everything that enters into
farming operations: oil cloth, aXles, knives
and forks, needles, screws, wool hats, and
every article enumerated by the Vindica-
tor is in like ratio cheaper. Our cotem
pOrary presumes largely upon the igno-
rance and stupidity of the people when it
assumes the Democratic falacy that the
duty on the foreign article is added to
the cost of the home production. Every
article mentioned w S higher than the cost
and the duty added, before the protecti>
policy was fully inaugurated. Every far
mer and every mechanic, and every con
sumer Of what ever occupation, knows that
everything he has TO purchase is cheaper
under protection than 1t was when the
Democratic policy of a revenue only tariff
Was in operation--as result OF rome
competition.
Not only this but nearly everything
raised on the farm is either from 80 to 100
per cent. higher, or of equal rate with
what it brought before the war. Eggs.
poultry, butter. Iiye stock. and oats, corn
and wheat, when the purchasing power
of money is considered The farmer gets
more for his money now than he ever did
in his life. And yet the Va3sdicator, know
ing these facts, seeks to create the reverse
impression.
The object is to draw attention from
the position of the candidate it is sup
porting for Congress. But this it cannot
do. Mr.. Tucker has placed himself upon
the Democratic platform, the Mills Bill
and the President S message aud letter of
acceptance. They are for free trade and
against the Blair bill, and those who sup
port him favor free trade and o. pose ma
tional aid to the public schools of the South.
AS Gen. Harrison says, the tariff is not
matter of schedules but Of principle 1t
is the principle of protection that antago-
nizes the policy of free trade. 1t is wheth
er we are to stand by American labor
and American industries. or foreign Ia
Dor and foreign industries. To oppose
the former as all do who approve the
Mills bill and the President 8 message, is
to favor the latter. That is the whole of
it narrowed downito a very clear and sim
pie point. 1t is whether we shall legislate
for the benefit of those who pay the taxes
and support the institutions of our coun
try. or for those who support the govern
ments of foreign countries. 1t requires
very little effort to determine which is the
