THE SOUTHERN OUTRAGE CRY.

As was to have been expected, northern
republicans are now to use the southern
outrage cry for all it is worth. For two
wears, by means of the Washington county
cases, the republican senate has been
irving to collect data against Texas. 1t
matters not to them that a United States
court, presided over by republican
Judge, found not guilty in those cases.
They do not sickle at facts; they use
assertions, cut and dried, to substantiate
their outrage cry. The scene in the senate
Wednesday is only premonition
of what is to come. Senator Hoar,
one of the most bitter republican
partisans in that body, made charges
against Texas of the most sweeping
and damaging character. 1t matters not
to Hoar and his party that Senator Coke
in behalf of his state denied the assertions
in the most emphatic manner. Hoar and
his following will again and upon every
occasion that serves them, use the same
assertions as being evidence of positive
facts. There is a political end to be served
in their trsducing our state, and for that
matter the entire south. Time was when
the present two great political parties
had friends in both sections,
and had influence in both.
But now the republicans hope for
substantial aid only from northern and
northwestern and western states. And
though democracy rules in some northern
states, vet the great bulk of its strength
is in the south. Thus our territory
presents itself natural and choice object
for republican vituperation.
Senator Hoar knew when he charged
.'if the people of Texas could be pro-
tected in a fair vote, not interrupted by
murder and violence, they would by a
large majority declare against the
present attempt at tariff reform,
that he was saying what was
absolutely false. 1t is asserted
without fear of successful refutatlou, that
where one voter is intimidated in Texas
thousand are bought in the north. Which
is a species of greater corruption? We
have infinitely more respect for the man
who will refrain from doing a thing
through fear, than for him, who will sell
his honest convictions for paltry sum of
money, or any amount, though in such
cases the price is generally low. But We
absolutely and unqualitiedly denounce as
false and slanderous these charges against
Texas. As to the case of the Hoffman
killing: 1t is not known here at home
what motive prompted the rhine, and
how was it discovered two thousand
miles away in the balls of congress: If it
is politics that has figured in the late as
sassinstions in the eastern portion of the
state, how do Senator Hoar and his ilks
account for the fact that in Fort Bend
county the two men assaulted were white
democrats and not republicans either white
or black? On their political theory will
they explain those two occurrences
Senator Coke deserves the thanks of his
state for branding Hosr's statements and
the attack on Texas as malicious lies
This state can afford simply to frown
down such calumnies, but in the interest
of the democratic party such falsehoods
should be we'll ventilated.

"WE believe these trusts are the natural
offspring of market artidcislly restricted;
that an inordinsry high tariff, besides
furnishing the temptation for their exist
ence, enlsrges the limit within which they
may operate against the people, and thus
increases the extent of their power for
wrong doing. With unslterable hatred for
such schemes, We count on the checking
OF their bsleful operations amongst the
good results promised by revenue re-
form."-Clevelaud's Letter of Acceptance.

CHAIRMAN BRICE.

Hon. Calvin Brice, chairman, at the heaG
of the national democratic committee, is
obviously in a position to know some
thing of the drift of the campaign. If he
knows nothing of the chances of dem
ocratic success, then it is hard to say who
does. Mr.. Brice takes so hopeful a view
of the situation, which is printed in the
dispatches this morning, that We might
almost pronouce it rose-colored. But the
chairman has cold, unsentimental figures
to back him. He claims Cleveland will
carry Connecticut. We all know that out
of total vote of $4,000, the republican
majority in that state, in 1856, was only
l,s9S. He says our chances are good for
Minnesota and Michigan, with fighting
chance for Wisconsin, also.
In Michigan in 1886 the republicans
elected their governor By only 1000, out
of a total of $4,000 votes. McGill, re-
Publican, beat Ames, democrat, for gov
Q nor of Minnesota, only 2,4s3, out of a
total of 100000 votes, two years ago. Al
the same time Wisconsin cast $4,000 ma.
jority out of $4,000 votes, for Rusk, re-
publican, for governor.
1t must be remembered these were state
elections. The great issue Of the tariff
was not involved as ii is at present. Now
all indications poir t to q change having
gradually taken place in public opinion
in the west on the tariff. The tendency is
TO adopt democratic ideas, and. doubt ess
it is on this basis that Chairman Brice
calculates a triumph for tariff reform 10

THE MAINE ELECTION.

Maine has always since the time of old
John Brown been republican state. 1t
is always expected to be so-anyhow dur
ing the natural lifetime of Jim Blaine
But its majorities have varied at different
times. Garfield, in 1880, only had S,S6S
over Hancock in that state. Four years
ago Blaine beas Cleveland 10000 in Maine.
In 1886, Bodwell, republican, was ahead
of Edwards, democrat, only 1850.
This year the majority falls back to
nearly the old figure, the republican can
didate for governor being elected by about
$4,000. The total vote has never been in
excess of $4,000,
1t is claimed by the New York World
that the prohibitionists have caused
the fluctuations in the Maine vote
for the last few years, having
fallen back into the republican party
under the iofuence of Blaine and the pro-
nounced sumptuary ideas of the party in
the state. Is the recent contest in Maine
any indication of public opinion on the
great issues of the national campaign
the tariff? Not at all. That was not the
issue iu the gubernatorial canvass.
The people of Maine may vote quite
the contrary on the tariff reform, though
if they do not it will surprise no one.
However, the democrats need not count
on any success in that far off corner.
We can keep Mr.. Cleveland and the demo-
cratic administration in power without the
help of the little state of Maine.

"TRUE to the undertaking coarse of the
democratic party, we will not neglect the
interests of labor and our workingmen in
all efforts to remedy existing evils. We
will furnish no excuse for loss of employ
ment or reduction of the wages of honest
toll. On the contrary, we propose, in
any adjustment of our revenue laws, to
concede such arrangement and advantages
to the employers of domestic labor as will
easily compensate for any difference that
may exist between the standard of wages
which should be paid to our lsboripg
meR and the rate allowed in other coun-
tries. We propose, too, by extending
the markets for our manufactures, to
promote the steady employment of labor,
while, by cheapening the cost of the
necessaries of life, We increase the pur-
chasing power of the workingman's wages
and add to the comforts of his home"

eve haved started upon no crusade of
free trade. The reform We seek to in
sugursts is predicated upon the utmost
care for established industries and enter
prises, jealous regard for the interests of
American labor and a sincere desire to
relieve the country from the injustice and
damages of condition which threatens
evil to all the people of the land. We are
dealing with no imaginary danger. Its
existence has been repeatedly confessed
by all political parties, and pledges of
remedy have been made on all sides. Yet,
when in the legislative body, where, under
the constitution, all remedial measures
applicable to this subject must originate,
when the democratic majority were at
deem pledge common to both parties,
they were met by determined opposition
and obstruction, and the minority, re-
fusing to cooperate in the house of rep
resentatiyes, or propose another remedy,
have RENTED the redemption Of their
party pledge to the doubtful power of the
senate. The people will hardly be de-
csived by their abandonment of the field
of legislative action, to meet in political
convention and hippautly declare in their
party platform that our conservative and
careful effort to relieve the situation is
destructive to the American system of
protection, nor will the people be misled
by the appeal to prejudice contained in
the absurd allegation that We serve the
interests of Europe, while they will sup
