TIE PRESBYT ERIANS AND GLAD

The Irish rrcsbyterians arc still there,
most Of them, in the same old place, with
the same bigoiry, the same intolerance
and the same religious hate. They have
just denounced Gladstone, for perhaps the
hundcdth time, and his policy which
they say tends 10 increase and strengthen
the Church OF Rome. In this country,
where MI religions are on a common foot.

would increase aud strengthen another

MR.. WATTERSON AND THE PLAT
FORM

The selection Of Mr. Watterson, OF Ken
lucky, 10 be Chairman Of the Committee
on Platform of the 81. Louis Convention,
is one that all tarG-reiorm Democrats will
heartily indorso. No member of the
party has been more faithful or out
spoken upon the necessity for tariff re-
form than has the editor OF The Courier
Jowpoi who eight years ago took the
JeGcrsonian ground OF tariff for revenue
only. That is what eventually Democrats
ally and steadily as the needs and ncces-
stiles Of the government for revenue de-
clinos to n normal standard. Mr.. Waiter
sons selection at this time is full OF sig
niicancc. 1t says in so many words that
the Endorsement OF the Presidents tariff re-
form policy is assured and an indorsc-
mcnt OF the Mills bill. Had Barnum, Of
Connecticut and German OF Maryland,
two Of the trickicst machine politicians
that curse the party and weight il down
had they succeeded, platform as mean
ingless, in one respect at least, ~ that OF

these care nothing for the consistency
OF the party, nor for the duty
that all Democrats are under TO
sustain Mr.. Cleveland. They are for
themselves, for their own interests
and would not care II they wrecked the
party IL by 40 doing they carried
their point But the people are strong
enough in the Convention TO carry their
own points Of doctrine and present them
10 the country IA safe platform for all
patriots TO stand upon. Mr.. Wattcrson
and Mr.. Morrison, with the assistance Of
Mr.. Scott, have triumphed, and We
feel sure the former as Chairman OF
the Committee ON Platform will present a
series OF planks, each OF them consistent
with the Presidents course and the pro-
ceedings had in the House by the Demo
Gratis, consistent especially in the matter

WHY BLAINE WROTE IT.
A Very Interesting Statement From I
Friendly Source.

A Very Interesting Statement From a
Friendly Source.
From Paris Dispatch to the sun.
Mr.. Blaine's last letter was republshed
here in all the newspapers. lie said to-
day that his intention had never been
changed from the time he had written the
Florence letter, though he did admit that
there had been turn in the course Of
events once on twice which had caused
him TO look into the matter with the ut
most care. | know this much from my
own conversations with Mr. Blaine Since
he has been in Paris he has been informed
in the most ample manner OF every minute
change in the current Of events at home,
and nothing has occurred which justified
him in altering his decision. A remark
he made week ago, when ! sent him a
copy OF the SIN which had reprinted the
opinions OF the leading editors Of
the country from western news
paper occurs to me now. Mr.. Blaine
had read the opinions carefully, re-
ferred to some Of the other newspaper
clippings on his table, and said, thought
fully, that Mr.. Cleveland's popularity
was fact which could not be explained, but
which could none the less be gainsaid. He
referred also TO the remarkable fact that in
the whole Democratic party there was no
dangerous rival TO the present executive,
and then spoke for few moments on the
tariff
The anti Blaine feeling in America has
been represented to the Maine statesman
in very strong light by people at home
during the past fortnight, but there is one
thing Of which ! have not the faintest
doubt in the world. II is based, not on a
positive statement Of Mr.. Blaine's, but on
the tenor Of his conversation during the
past ten days, and II is that the late Re-
publican nominee is now absolutely con-
WINGED that he has not the chance OF cleo
ton against Cleveland, and am also GER
tain that IL he thought there was a work
ing chance the second letter Of dcclination
would never have been published. The
western newspaper prompt and strong
acceptance of Mr.. Blaine's first letter un-
questionably surprised him. The hostile
manifestations in the west have indeed AZ
much To do ms anything else with this sec
ond and percmptory declination.

COL. EAGLE FOR GOVERNOR or
ARKANSAS.

The Arkansas Democratic convention ut
Little Rock yesterday, on the 10th ball
lot, nominated Col. Eagle, Of Lonoke
county, for Governor. The majority pres
ent could not shoulder the responsibility
for third term, so repugnant to the good
old Democratic rule of rotation in Office, and
so combined upon one OF the ablcst, in some
respects one OF the most available men Of
fering for the place. Col. Eagle, as we
learn from The Osceoid Times, the paper
that first espoused his candidacy and con-
tinued TO support him with well tempered
carnestness, was born in Maury county, in
tins State in 1887, removed TO Arkansas
with his father, James Eagle, in 1889, and
settled in Pulaski county, aitcrward Prai-
rie, now Lonoke, and there grew up on
farm, where lac had to work six full days
in week from sunup to shutdown. In his
sixteenth year his father moved TO Rich
woods, n heavy timbered country, whore he
took the lead in clearing and opening up
for cultivation large and valuable planta-
ton, working like a laborcr. In 1850 and
1861 he served as Deputy Sheriff under j..
VI. King, but when hostiities broke out
entered the States service ~ private in

days, when he wentto Missouri and joined

mounted regiment, with which he remained
until the close Of the war, when lac returned
home and engage in business and in farm
ing, giving some Of his time 10 preaching
and as much rs he could to politics in the
service Of his Democratic fcllOw-citizcns,
then like himself under the ban. In 1872
he was elected 10 the Legislature from
Prairie and Arkansas counties and though
one Of a small minority in the House
helped TO prevent great deal Of
mischieyous legislation and secured the
passage Of the bill creating the county o
Ionokc. He was also n member Of the
Legislature that called the Constitutional
Convention, aud was a conspicuous mem
Der Of that body. In 1874, when the
trouble came up between Brooks and Bax
ter, ho formed company Of 100 good and
true men Of Ionoko and went TO the res
cue Of the jcopardizcd interest Of the pco
pie, on the fst alarm given by Baxter
and thus helped to free Arkansas from
Radical control. Col Eagle was alsc
speaker Of the Legislature Of 1885. A
busy and useful man, his experience vii
be invaluable TO him In the Governors
chair, TO which hc is surc to be- elected
and by a triumphant majority.
