sion that Harrison will carry the State by

Chairman Quay considers New York the
least doubtful of the four doubtful states.
We have been connected with the pres E,

years. aid in all that time, We are sure
we have never seen as much stupidity and
Ignorance crammed into one article, as
we find in the editorial of the AlleebanA
.Se.stia,eI commenting on Hor. j. J ost S
speech at Covington We would Suggest
to our contemporary, hereafter, to be sure
he is right before he goes ahead. He will
certainly have to read up Il good deal be-
fore he can enlighten his readers on the
tariff, or intelligently and fairly state the
position Of political opponent.

city and meeting of citizens have nomj-
mated Mayor Hewitt for re election. Tam
many Democracy have nominated tx
Mayor Grant for the same position. The
fl ght is on between the two wings of the
Uuterrified and will stay to the finish.
The Republicans will likely put W a
clear cut ticket. but there is a v,sst floating
vote in the city which will be open TO trade,
and it is thought the result will be ser
ious damage to the Cleveland and Thur
lnan ticket. Things III New York look
hopeful and the Republicans are conf
dent of carrying the State.
Harry Tucker refused to divide time
with w. E. Craig in the county of High
land after the Monterey discussion Why
this? Did he repeat. hen there was no
one to contradict hi n. the ISLANDERS be
uttered against Gen. Harrison, in his first
speeches in Eastern Virginia? He said in
several of his earlier speeches. as reported
in the Dispatch, that Gen. Harrison shout
dertd his muskes TO hunt and shoot down
the labor strikers in indianapolis in 1877
and that he favored the immigration Of
Chinese labor to compete with American
labor. There WAS never a greater SANDER
perpetrated upon public man. Aid we
al,
tracted or denied The falsehu0ds.
Carlisle. Blackburn VOORHEES,, Breckin
ridge have been Imported into this dis
trict to help to elect Harry Tucker. They
are all tree traders ana opposed TO the
Blair bill. What would they care who
is elected in the l0th district If they
did not have al object in it a? They want
a vote for free trade and AGAINST the poi
icy of NATIONAL aid to public education
They know they would rot get it in the
election of Mr.. Yost. They are confident
they would get it in the election of Mr..
Tucker. for he would submit to the eau
Gus and the l?aders of the Democratic
PARTY, whatever might be his forced prom
ises to the people. The worst feature of
Tucker 5 campaign is his affected eleventh
hour conversion to national aid to public
education That Of itself ought to defeat
him.
The Court House Brigade has
commenced the campaign ID Augusta
in behalf Of Free Trade and Harry
Tucker Well let them talk. The
people know more than they do and are
better posted on the questions of the day.
There will be a good many reckless asser
tons and great deal of Understanding
oratory, bat we can safely trust the people
to separate the wheat from the chaff. Let
the people bear III MUD that a vote for
Tucker is vote for free trade and against
the Blair bill, disg it as it may be. The
party in Congress is committed that way.
the National Democratic platform is COM
mitted that way, President Cleveland is
committed that way. and Mr.. Tucker is
committe ed that way. whether he admits
it or not, in endorsing his partys record.
and promising to vote for Carlisle tor
Speaker should he be elected.
I1lnK moment. Inc DtDOcTdtiC
theory of free trade, a tariff for revenue
only, resulted in stagnated trade. bank
rupt treasury and ruined credit. The
Republican theory of protection to home
labor and home industries, has resulted in
the most remarkable industrial growth
and prosperity ever vouchsafed to PEG
pie, and an overlooking treasury, and
credit unsurpassed on the globe. The
only complaint is that it has made US too
much revenue, Notwithstanding Ito one
feels any inconvet fence OF burden from it,.
Is that not better than poverty, distress
and national humiliation? When before

currency so sound? Never before would
