Northern speakerg At the South

The Philadelphia Inquirer says:
"lt is frequently asked why Repubi-
can orators DO not enter the South. Any
southern man may como North and freely
nav what he thinks In public without the
slightest fear Of personal injury. But
what guarantee is there that Repubh-
can who should 90 South to speak from
the stump would come back III good
physical condition
The Inquirer then expresses the
opinion that southern leaders would
probably accord northern Republicans
" liberty Of speech but doubts whether
they could control the people, and adds
"No meeting in northern city could
be induced to mob q southern orator,
and until it shall be possible for a north
'erner to address popular assemblages in
Che South without fear Of being mobbed
there will not DO any wholesome dlscus-
sion OF political subjects in that part OF
the country,
The remarks we have quoted from the
Inquirer are unworthy of that paper,
which is ordinarily quite. fair in dealing
with the South. They suggest that the
Inquire has clipped from the Cincin-
natl Commercial- Gazette or the New
York Tribune without giving "propel
credit" AS TO guarantee" We could

TO the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Thanks for your answer to my ques-
ton.
II can add word without boring
you, permit me TO say that | cannot see
how 1t can be correct in any sense TO say
what you do notmean. l made the same
point in the discussion that you make
namely, that "try and make" has o
meaning of its own, and when you mean
TO express intended effort only, as was
the case with the San, il Is not only bad
English, but ii is absolutely wrong to use
"try and make" which expresses an in
tention not only to attempt but to
achieve. According to the Suns rule it
is correct to say 81 will come and see
you" Most people do say 1t but sup
pose | 60 and find yon out? How then |?
bid come and see you Not much.
81 viii try and make 4" is equivalent to
81 will try aud will make, and cannot
be properly used in the same sense as
"try TO make.
AS for the last sentence / quoted from
the Sun it violstcs plain rule Of rhsto-
ric, and. permit me to say, cannot, in
my opinion, be defended at all.

Some of the senators seemed to be
very much afraid of the new system.
Senator GoRMAN, of Maryland, said
"Thc most successful electric road in
this country to-day IS at Baltimore,
where tho authorities would not grant
the right to erect overhead wires be-
cause of their very great danger. The
experiment of conducting the wires I'M
der ground has been tried successfully,
and more successfully than any other
experiment of the kind in the Union.
IL has also been tried in the city of New
York bnt the lire in Baltimore, run
ming out to the suburbs, five or six miles,
is propelled with as much regularity rs
a steam road, and there is not wire
above ground"
We had supposed that Richmond had
the most successful electric road in this
country and We based our belief upon
the fact that so many persons had come
to this city from sll parts OF the Union
to witness the working Of our road.

MR. CLEVELAND AND HIS PARTY.

So Mr.. Cleveland has materially raised the
tone and elevated the character OF the Demo-
cratic party, has he ? The statement Is seriously
made by the Mugwump "Times," and there
seem to be persons who believe it. But IL So
what depths of degradation the Democrats
mist have reached before accident gave MIR.
Cleveland opportunity to begin his work OF
uplifting
As matters stand, the party publicly boasts
that it has turned out nine-tenths of the former
faithful and experienced officials, and the
country knows that the public service IS IN
many respects worse than under any previous
Administration for twenty years. Fraud IN
elections has spread from the South, where IL
made Mr. Clevelands success possible, TO al
least five Northern States, so that prominent
and active Democrats have been convicted OF
crime, or have escaped by purely partisan in
f1uence. or have been indicted in each of these
States. There was once pretence that the
Democratic party sought economy IN govern
ment Now it may perhaps be said that the
moral character of the party has been raised
because this false pretence has been abandoned
because open and fragrant plundering OF the
Treasury for party ends has taken the place
of hypocrisy. AT any rate, appropriations made
last wear were never equalled in profilgacy or
extravaganza by any Republican Congress, and
the largest and most shameless River and
Harbor bill ever passed has gone through the
House as a foretaste Of the results Of this ses-
sion.
In one respect the Democratic party appears
to the free-trade fanatics to have improved.
1t grows more outspoken in its hostility to
protection Of home industry by duties on i'm
ports; more united in efforts to destroy the
protective tariff. There is less dishonesty,
lust at present, and more open and malignant
| hostility to the principles upon which the well
fare of the country depends. The sincere Free
Trader may indeed find cause for congratu-
! lation here But he will find. when Congress-
men come to appeal to the people for re-elec-
ton, that all the old dishonest pretences will be
| offered as frequently as ever. There will be
another attempt to make Ignorant voters be-
| lieve that Mr.. Cleveland is as much in favor
| Of protection as anybody, and among the most
busy in that dishonest work will be found the
| free-trade Mugwumps of 1.-The Times" species.
Their tone has not been improved nor their
character elevated, at all events.
The truth is that Mr.. Cleveland started with
certain professions which his acts have proved
false He pretended to be better purer. more
honest, more patriotic and more firm and reso-
lutte than his party. 1t turns out that he pos
sesses less of either of these honorable qualities
than other Democrats who had proved them
selves worthy of leadership, and he so accu-
rately represents whatever was worst in the
purposes and conduct of his party that its
worthier leaders are powerless to resist bis de-
bauching and debasing influence
