THE POLITICAL FIELD.
The Mills Sill Making Trouble for
New Hampshire Democrats.

Boston, May 25.-The tariff issue has al
ready begun TO sow the seeds of dssension in
the Democratic rauks in New Hampshire.
The proof of this comes from men of the
highest executive and business character
Charles A. Busel of Laconia, a wealthy ho-
siery manufacturer and man high In the
councils.of the Democratic party, has stated
to the Journal representative that he would
not vote for the reelection of Cleveland ON
platform embodying the. views of the Presi-
dents tariff message and of the Mills bill in
Congress. Mr.. Busiel is a member of the
Democratic State Committee and of the Ex-
ecutive Committee of Ten, and has long been
regarded as one of the ablest managers in his
party. His brother, John T. Busiel, life
long Democrat and his business partner, will
not only refuse to support Cleveland for re-
election. but is writing and publishing arti-
cles advocating a continuance of the present
laws governing the tariff on everything enter
ing into not only .woolen but common manu-
featuring. The detection of such men as the
Busiel brothers will create a decided sensa-
tion in the Democratic party.
Gen. Cibson's Speech.
New ORLEANS, May 25.-Gen. Gibson,
who was yesterday reelected United States
Senator, was invited to address the legisla-
ture, and did so. In the course of his re-
marks he said: "rbere never was people
who, by the heat of a tremendous civil con-
flict, were so fused together as the people OF
the United States. 1t is true that here and
there is to be found man, camp follower
during the war, perhaps, or a demagogue,
some man brave in bravado, some man who
never wore uniform or carried musket
VINO would make you believe that the north
ern men were bent on humiliating the people
OF the South, aud that they distrust and de-
SplSe them. Fellow citizens, this is not true
The people of the Northern States, in my
Judgment, are anxious and willing to recog-
nize the people of the South as their fellow
countrymen. | believe they are proud to do
it This is our Union, our Constitution, and
If | can do anything In my public career to
bring the hearts and sympathies of the
Southern people to cherish the Union and
the Constitution, / would feel that my task
had not been IN vain. 1t is true that the
Constitution has been changed, and that sla-
very has been abolished in the organic law
OF the land; 1t IS true that the principles Of
secession have been eliminated from this
structure of the Federal Constitution. /
think the wisest and best thing is for the
southern people to make up their minds that
tney VIII accept in good faith the amend
ments to the Constitution of the United
States, which we have ali sworn to support"

COLUMBUS, o., May 25.-The rejection of
Congressman 0uthwaite's joint resolution
granting national aid to the Ohio Centenni
al, has created great indignation in this city.
The event has attracted the greatest atten-
tlon all over the country, and the State at
largo is deeply interested in its success. A
short time ago the local exhibition in Cincin-
natl received national recognition by an ap-
preparation, and there was no reason to
dOuht that tho aa1ahrofinv bar ba
orally treated. The adverse report of the
committee has awakened grave fears that
the Cincinnati exhibition will be the only
one favored. The Evening Dispatch, indie
pendent Republican, viciously assails Sena-
tor Sherman for his lack of interest in the
matter :-"If Senator Shermrn is nominated
at Chicago and desires to carry the State of
Ohio, he will see that the Ohio Centennial
Exposition is not euchred out of government
aid. This demand is made on behalf of the
people of Ohio for the reason that Mr.. Sher-
mans influence and vote largely helped to
which is to be held at Cincinnati under the
auspices of private corporation. This de- |
mand Is made for the further reason that the |
State Of Ohio for almost 50 years has hon |
ored Mr.. Sherman as no other man within |
her borders"
