ALBEIT was renominated for Governor
by the New Jersey Democrats without a
contention. BE was one Of the conspicu.
Gus leaders of the dreadful free trade
movement to demolish the infant indus
tries Of the country, and to steal bread
from the mouths Of the worlingmen by
reducing the taxes. IL seems strange
that an intelligent community Of manu-.
facturers would rush to inevitable
destruction by nominating an agent Of
the Cobden Club, whose pockets are
filed with British gold But according
to the veracious Republicans ex.Gover
nor Leon Albeit is that sort Of a M n
and his election portends the demolition
Of every factory in New Jersey and the
starvation Of every workingman But II
seems that the New Jersey people who
arc pretty thrifty in their way have an
idea that low taxes ID times Of profound
peace indicate prosperity and that high
taxes indicate that somebody is robbing
the people for private gain.

SOUTHERN Republicans are gorgeous
lot OF scamps John NJ Langston Of
Virginia is conspicuous example Of
what Republicanism, protectionism
Quayism produce in the South In an in
terview with the New York Herald
Langston said that his simple PROPOSE
tion to President Harrison, Senator
Quay and the other Republican 'bosses'
who are helping Malone is this:
Promise TO seat me and | will take the
stump and make the negro vote Of Yir-
ginia solid for Malone; otherwise will
do nothing
Meantime he is going to take the
stump In Ohio and await notice from the
bosses" that they have yielded to his
terms. Malone put up an independent
candidate against Langston in Virginia
and caused his defeat for Congress. So
that he cannot expect any concessions
from Malone. He hopes to levy politi-
cal blackmail on the Republican party at
large by using his local influence
against Malone. He expects to
be bought by the "bosses" to support
Malone. After remarking that he be.
lieyes Malone to be an enemy to the
colored race, he shows his cloven foot by
saying that his return to use his influence
in Virginia TO elect Malone depends" on
the bargain he can make with the bosses.
The bargain he demands is that Venable,
Democrat with a plurality Of 600
votes shall be unseated in Congress to
seat him, Langston. Mr.. Langston
Is specimen Of Republicanism in the
South. How do respectable and honest
Republicans in the North like the Quay

Juggling away at Tanners coat tails and

Caucasian Civilization.

New York sun.
Here is an impressive passage from the
Democratic platform Of the state Of
Mississippi We must show the world
that that race created to govern and
that has governed all other races where
thrown in contact, will in Mississippi
stand by the common civilization OF the
union which that race has costructed and
maintained, and that it will never consent
to be ruled by any other race as a race
manipulated by renegades The flag Of
q Caucasian civilization must flow trium
phantly at the South and Ia every other
section Of this proud land and through
ont Chrstendom AS long as this negro
question lasts, the Republican party can
not get any great fooohold in the South.

THE sweet and elaborate confidence
which pretty young women exercise to-
ward genteel scoundrels is as amazing as
it is frequent. Four weeks ago Miss
Frances Maspero was one Of the happiest
young women in Washington. She was
% years old, and was admired by all
who knew her She was introduced at
the house of friend to a
handsome young fellow about two
years her senior, who called
himself Vernon p Clayton. She fell in
love with him at first sight. He pro-
posed marriage after few days acquain
tance, and was accepted. When she
asked him about himself he answered that
his folks were wealthy and that he would
tell her all about such things after mar
riage The sequel is not what Mrs. Clay
ton fondly anticipated, but it is Just
what any sensible person might have ex.
peeted Clayton took his bride to New
York. robbed her and fled.

Butler should not be nominated which

Lincoln was statesman enough to I'M
derstand the value of the Union, and the
task he set for himself was to preserve
the Union withou, impairing the Consti-

Charles Sumner, to the followers Of the

early surroundings. To this element OF

Stevens and Greeley were statesmen In
