The Magnolia gazette. [volume] (Magnolia, Miss.) 1872-current, 1888-01-14

A late Washington dispatch
states that the friends OF Mr..
Lamar were not particularly OPP
posed to the postponement of
action in his nomination until after
the holidays, because they be-
lleyed the Intervening timo would
serve to quiet rather than to in
crease the opposition. They are
now aware that the opponents Of
his confirmation siezod the oppor-
tunity for developing q partisan
fight over the matter 10 the hope
Of forcing every Republican Sem
ator to vote against his confirma-
ton. II is now thought that the
opposition is increasing somewhat
in strength, but the declaration of
Senator Sherman that while he
will antagonize The confirmation
no cannot hope to defeat Il, is
accepted as an accurate indica-
ton OF the situation. There are
several Republican Senators who
at last accounts were determined
not to oppose Lamar's coniirma-
ton, and the report O. the
judiciary committee will be de-
termlned by the vote of S,nator

BLAINE AND HARRISON.
How the Campaign of One Great Party
Has Started on.

The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger wrote last evening
Mr.. Blaine, it is announced. will con
line most OF his labors during the cam
palgn to the Atlantic coast states Until
the Maine election, which takes Mace on
the 18th of September. he will remain in
his own state. After that he will sneak

Jersey, and perhaps two or three other
states, but j. $. Clarkson. of the National
Committee, who has direction of the work

Of Genaral Harrison in October This
arrangement will disappoint Mr.. Blaine's
friends in the west, where he has aIwsvs
been popular, and particularly in Califior-
mia. But the arrangement has probably
been made with a view of placing Mr.
Blaine where he win do the most qobd
Before Mr. Blaine's arrival there were in
dications that members of the National
Committee viewed with some suspicion
and dislike the plans for welcoming the
Plumed Knight, but since his arrival this
suspicion and this dislike. if they ever
existed, have been removed, and Mr.
Blaine has apparently reached complete
and cordial understanding with Sena-
tor Quay and the other members of the
National committee. Mr. Blaine has re-
ceiyed communications from General Har-
rison, and been in personal conference
with MIR. Morton, and the tone Of his
speeches show that he is working zeal
onsly for the success Of the ticket. His
declaration in his Madison Square speech
that he had no sores to heal and his
constant references to Harrison and Nor
ton in the eight speeches he delivered
yesterday greatly please the Republicans
here. Though Mr.. Blaines prominence in
the campaign will undoubtedly have the
tendency to drive away Mugwumps who
might otherwise be attracted to the Har-
rison standard, it win ON the other hand
inspire with enthusiasm the large and
powerful Blaine element in the party
and WILL perhaps, bring to Harrison the
support of the Irish-Americans. who cast
so big vote for Blaine in 1884. Not
since the first election Of Grant has the
Republican party entered campaign
with 50 much apparent harmony and SO
little fractional feeling. Even Senator

The arrest Of Howard 0. Spencer, a
Mormon bishop, for murder alleged to
have been committed twenty nine years
ago. may be justified by the strict con
struction of the law, but does not accord
with the common sense principles which
usually regulate It's enforcement. AS the
object Of the law is the prevention Of
crime rather than the inhiction Of suffer
ing upon the criminal, it is advisable to
let forgotten crimes rest and Judge men
by their known lives. This merciful pro
vision of the law was violated in the case
Of John ID. Ice, a Mormon bishop who
was executed for completely in the Noun.
tain Meadow massacre more than twenty
years after the deed was done. Even in
his case IL was felt that it would have
been better TO punish him for later crimes,
of which he had been guilty, rather than
to bring up against him terrible deed
from the forgotten depths Of history.
The story OF the past, badly crowded as it
is with the sickening details Of legal
rotributions, would be more bloody still
but for the moral statute of limitations,
which allows forgotten crimes to remain
in Oblivion. The contemplate supersti-
tion Of Mormonism must be driven from
the land, but in dealings with IL the au-
thorities viii do well to remember that
acts OF vengeance are not contemplated
by the law and by attracting sympathy
too often defeat its purpose. New York

THE TRUE SONG.
