However, this latter cannot be considered,
since Stocktons situations are effective

One of Grover CIeveland's personal
 organs, the Buffalo Courier. says "a re- public an victory would encourge a sec
 uonal policy of taIlff taxation and a sys-
 tenn Of social favorlteism in the expendi-
 ture of the surplus revenue. Republi-
 can defeat will compel the republicans
 to discard sectional issues as prof.
 less and prejudicial to party success. |,
 will render necessary the adop- ton of tariff reform measure
 and discourage extravagance, job
 berry and sectional partiality in public expenditures. It will relieve the south from the anxieties that have made 1t solid and politically divided the two sections" This IS a very sad state of
 affairs to contemplate indeed, as if pub iic expenditures under the present admin istra.ion had not been largely in favor of southern sectionalism. Out of a deh- ciency of about $I ,ooo. 900 in the post office department, $S5o,ooo was ex- pended Tn the southern states. The Mills tariff bill IS also notor,ously sec tional in it's provisions, southern products being allowed the benefit of protection, while northern wool and other products being allowed to be placed on the free list. The presidents personal organ is evidently apprehensive of the sectional favors being distributed on the wrong side of the line.
