THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 16.

Mr.. HENRY WATTERsoN being asked II
Mr. grios. chairman of the national demo
cratic committee, took exception TO the
notification of an interview, 10 which he was
reported as saying that Mr.. Cleveland should
help himselfin this campaign, replied
s.Certainly not, how could he and why
sbonld he ? The spirit of it was contained
in letter which / myself wrote to the
President q few days ago, and IN Which
asked MIN whether or not he was with Us IN
this campaign. The democratic party was
never better organized than in this contest,
an far SO tbs army is concerned. But we
want TO know if we have leader. we
want him TO give at least private assurances

recognizes and appreciates, and is at least
aware of the fact that they are worklog lot

Of thing that l believe MIR. Cleveland
thinks that if we were to close the national
HEADQUARTERS tomorrow the canvass Wouio

not?'
Now such talk as this is By no means re-

only a fair sample of what is being saio
every where, snd it is only by publishing II
that the evil complained of can possibly be

MIR. Yosf,s Opinion.

Congressman Jacob Yost, of the tenth dis
trlet, in an interview with correspondent
of tho Baltimore Sun yesterday expressed
great confidence and satisfaction az to the
outlook in Virginia go for as the republican
party is concerned. He predicts that there
will be but one republican electoral ticket in
the field, and thinks the State should roll
up &c, 600 republican maj ority. He declares
that the State is safely republican with the
tariff question and the Blair educational bill
as the leading issues and it does not lie in
the power of the democratic party to carry
the State if the republicans stand shoulder
to shoulder in the approaching fight and
bury all personal differences. Continual
disagreements among the party leaders are,
of course. he says, an element of weakness,
but many persons do not care whether the
Malone or the Wise faction is in control Of
the party machinery. They are principally
interested In their mineral lands and their
tobacco crops. and it makes but little differ
euce who controls the few federal offices 80
long as their individual interests are prop.
erly protected. Although no formal efforts
have yet been msde to crystalline public
sentiment or organize the party forces, Mr..
Yost claims to have received numerous let
tiers from prominent democrats in his county
declaring that they cannot support he poll
CIV of The present administration in the com.
ing campaign. Doe of his democratic COL
leagues in the House showed him similar
letters recently received from voters in the
respective counties The system of protec-
ton is growing all the time in Virginia. Mr..
yost says, and the democrats will not be
abe to elect single Congressman except
in the eighth (Gen. Lse's) district. if the re.
publicans will close up their ranks and
march together against the tariff reformers.

Mr.. Morgan said F: "You have not hesitated
to sheer at US, and to say that we are rebels,
traitors, men not to be trusted, men who

hanged and that We are living now by your
mercy and grace. And / have only said
that you did not dare to hang any of US.
You had Jefferson Davis under arrest, and

MR.. HoAR has been malignant hater OF
the South ever siuce he entered public life,
and. like ths worst specimens of human ma
turs, his malignancy grows more intense as
he grows older. Blatant avoWals OF hate
for he Southern people were the chief
means by which his fret became known
outside of the limits of his own town, and
when he shall die, his expiring breath will
be expended in an impotent imprecation
upon the people he hated, but feared during
his whole life. There could be nothing
manly, or high toned, or really able about
such man, and bis whole history shows
the truth # the remark once made concern
ing him by critical observer Of human ma
ture, to the effect that he is patent exam
pie of the ill-effects of the forced cultivation
of naturally sterile mind. So warped are
the mans moral ideas by his prejudices
against his fellow citizens of the South, that
he oheerfuy accepted place on the in.
famous electoral commission for the cole
purpose of assisting seven others, worse than
himself, to accomplish the prearranged
monumental fraud of the nineteen century

Woman Suffrage DEMONSTRATIONS

OLYMPIA, W. T., Aug. 16.-The supreme
court of Washington Territory has decided
the law granting suffrage to women uuoonsti-
tutioDal. The grounds for the opinion we're
based Oh The fact that the Legislature e1
oeeded it's powers granted by Congress- The
court took the or cupd that the word "citi-
z,n" in the or ganic act can mean nothing
else than male citizen. The opinion con-
tanned 1000 words and an appeal will be
taken to the Supreme Court of the U. 8.
The popularity of the legislation on woman
suffrage in the territory is, that it Is the
second law passed and the second time it
has been declared unconstitutional under
the original law passed by large majority
In the legislature. Two years ago an cleo
ton was held and women casts votes in all
the counties Then the supreme court over
ruled it. Again few weeks ago the legls'
lature passed the lay and this has met the
same fate. The territory is stronghold of
prohibition and woman suffrage advocates
and they will fight this case to the court of
last resort

ACCORDING to the republican protection
lists. the sole reason they have for advocat-
ing the maintenance of the existing high
tariff on the necessa,ies Of life is, not that it
helps them in the least, but that 1t raises
the price of labor. Well, the price OF what
sort of lab3r is Increased by the tariff?
Surely not that of carpenters, bricklayers,
stone masons, printers, blacksmiths, plaster
srs. house painters, butchers, bakers, tele-
graph aud railroad employees, street labor
ers, nor farm hands, for none of the indus
tries in which such labor is employed are
protected by the tariff. nor is 1t pretended
by we'll informed protectionists that they
are protected, or need be so that labor in
them is not affected by the tariff one way or
the other. The industries that are protect
ed by the tariff, and n which, If what the
protectionists say be true, The price of labor
should be the highest, are the mining aud
manufacturing but nothing is more easily
demonstrated than the fact that in them 1t
is lower than 10 any of the others. Protec'
ton does enable the proprietors protected
industries. such as Mr.. Carnegie, whose
profits amount TO million and half dol
lars year, to increase the price of their la.
borers' wages, but they don't avail them
selves of that ability nor will they as long
az human nature shall remain unchanged.

Indiana's Labor.


The Republicans are exceedingly
sore oyer the evident determina-
ton of the labor organizations of
Indiana to support the Democratic
ticket and punish the presidential
candidate Of the Republican party
for his treachery to their cause.
The Republicans allege that the
United Labor party OF the State
has agreed to cooperate with the
Democrats, and that the Democrat
ic State Committee is to maintain
the Labor Signal Of indianapolis as
the organ of the Democratic Labor
men during the campaign. We are
not in position to indcrse the
Republican version of the labor
movement in Indiana. But Of the
fact that the workmen of that State
are enlisted in mass against the
Republican candidates there is no
possible doubt. That fact is one Of
capital importance in presidential
calculations, as the adhesion Of the
labor associations to the Democrat
lie ticket will undoubtedly insure
the electoral vote of Indiana to
Cleveland and Thurman.
