Notes from the New York Press.

NEW York, June 22.--The Suns Chi
cago special says that while Sherman and
Harrison are now leading all other candi-
dates, there is yet danger that Blaine
boom will result in the nomination of the
"Plumed Knight"
The Worlds Washington correspondent
says that Representative Perry Belmont
announces his determination not to be q
candidate for denomination to Congress.
The Worlds Washington correspondent
says President Cleveland has expressed
the belief that Senator Allison will re-
ceiye the nomination for President by the
Chicago Convention.
A special from Pittsburg says that j.
W. Durley, an alternate of the New York
delegation, passed through that city en-
route from Chicago to New York. He
says that he was an eye witness to the
Wise-Mahone fracas in the Committee on
Credentials on Tuesday, and that row was
very serious one. He saw Wise pulling
Mahones beard so that the latter
screamed from pain, and several other
hand-to.hand encounters took place in
different parts of the room. There were
no shots fired, but several revolvers were
flOurished in lively manner.

Philadelphia Times; The whole twenty
five hundred words might have been
boiled down into a simple expression of
this general line of polcy-a paternal
government supported by exorbitant
taxes for the enrichment Of millionaires.
Philadelphia Record. Except for its
stand on the tariff question the platform
is weak. On the tariff question--while
we believe IL to be hopelessly wrong-we
are ready to admit the oandor of the plat
form utterance q n Every monop.
olist in the land and every vote controlled
by monopoly will come forward TO sup
port the ticket launched upon this Ma
tional declaration Of partisan belief and
intention.
Philadelphia Press AS Is fitting and
proper, the protection plank leads the
specific declaration of party principle. BY
the action of the st. LOUIS Convention
and the declarations of its candidates,
protection has been made the paramount
issue in this campaign, and the Repubi-
can party in its platform plants itself
squarelly and fairly on high protection
grounds.

PROTECTION OF TRADEMARKS.

Mr.. Smith, from the Committee on
Patents, made a unanimous report this

gagged in the counterfeiting of trade
marks, labels, etc., and to punish any

The delegates to the judicial con-
yention leave for Georgetown to-
morrow. We hope that body will
make a nomination before adiourning.
Men are sent there to act for the peo-
pie, and the people demand a nomi:
nation at the hands OF this convention.
Will the delegates sit there, and bal
lot like dummies for the interest OF
their individual preferences and to
the irreparable injury of the Demo
cratic party? or will they rise in their
wisdom above self and friends, and
for the good OF the whole State either
nominate one of the three candidates
(any one of whom would make good
solicitor), or select some outside man
worthy of being sought for the posi-
ton? Let US wait and see.

ty to-day; tomorrow they'll be black
ened by the hand of the harvesting
reaper. Winter is almost upon US,

have to be supplied with some neces-
sary article Of merchandise. The
manager Of our advertising depart
ment has e1erted himself in procuring
the advertisements of the most relia-
bic mercantile establishments of ad-
joining towns and cities, as well as
those at home, and in eur columns
you may read what they have to say.
Think of what you need and expect
to buy, examine our columns and Sc
lecs the house you wish to deal with,

goods you need, or send for samples
from which you can make your selec-
tons No doubt you have often ask
ed why so many merchants advertise

because nesrly everybody subscribes

Because it gives the news. Then do

By instructions of the executive
committee Of the Republican party in
the State, Swails, Brayton, Miller, and
some 'sich" others of the G. O. P,
addressed, last week, a communion
ton to Gov. Richardson, charging
that free vote and honest count was
suppressed, and asking that one Re-
pchlican manager Of elections be ap-
pointed at each voting precinct.
Governor Richardson replied tina
our elections low. under the present
wise laws, were quite in contrast to
the evil aDd corrupt practices, once
so dominant in this State, and of the
disgraeeful scenes and unscrupulous
manipulations of Radical elections.
Now every man quietly and freely
casts his ballot, in peace and without
fear. Therefore be does not think it
proper to take the management, who'll
" or in part, of our elections from
the hands Of good and true men, and
give it into the hands Of a class that
in intelligence are vastly inferior; es-
peciaIly, too, since in this State there
is Republican party, only in name.
Governor Richardson's reply was
good and timely.

The Republicans had a large politi-
cal meeting in Sumter last Saturday.
They will make desperate effort to
capture the 7th district this year, but
the better element Of the white and
colored citizens Of that district are so
well pleased with the able and impair
tial manner 10 which Col. Elliott serves
them in Congress, that they will send
him back, with a bigger majority
than ever.

When q man walks into our Office,
with a long piece of manuscript in
his hand, and vengeance in his eye,
with the broad and loud assertion
that he has an article be wishes pub
Eshed, and intends to have it pub
Eshed, and doesn't care what it costs,
and he VIII send It to the Nesos and
Courier if we do not publish it, we
generally size up that man at once,
as anxious yes, very anxious, to get
his article published, but unwilling,
altogether unwilling, to pay for it.
In an experience of six years of Jour
nalism, we have had a number of such
<sases and always invariably, with
ther following result: We generally
ask the gentleman TO give US hear
ing, and tell him that if be has any
thing to publish, unless it is immoral
in its character, that We Will publish
it; thatf it is OF public character,
and such as zoe think will interest our
readers we viii publish for nothing
and with pleasure. But, if it is OF a
personal nature. and calculated spec
ially to further the individual inter
ests of the gentleman, we viii charge
him for it; and if it is more personal
in It's nature than we ike, that we
viii charge him double rates. We
then read the article, tell the gentle
man what it will cost, ten, fifteen,
twenty, or twenty-five dollars, as the
case may be. An expansion of eyes,
q fallen countensnce, a look of con-
tempt that We should have deigned
to charge sos il, is the result.
The price was too much! He was not
wiling to pay that sum, although it
was such as We charge any
one for ordinary business. The gen.
tleman after finding he cannot dead
head his article, seeks some other Of
fee, where possibly he may find an
editor too timid to refuse so modest
g request, bat generally the article
never sees light through newspaper.
We never yet have had to publish
any such articles and We are glad
Of il.
