eRAY AGAINST AIaalNs.

In the approaching contest on the
mandamus cases In the Superior Court
the Democrats would be willing to leave
the adjudication Of their case to com.
palison Of the characters and aspirations
Of the two Senators.
Senator George Gray and Senator
Anthony Higgins are opposed to each
other in legal contest.
The one shrewd, sharp, mcrciless,
selfish, schcmng, fertile in resources,
rich, unpopular, careless Of public opin-
ion and unscrupulous as TO the means
employed, full Of sophistry, hated by his
rivals aud hating them in return, and
not above advancing bad cause with
arguments intended to deceive. He is
advocating measure that will oe used to
debauch the negro voter by wholesale.
The Republicans have succeeded in
putting names on the assessment lists
representing 5000 negroes. 1t is the
effort Of the Republican machine, with
Senator Higgins in the van, 20 perfect a
scheme for buying tax receipts-certifi-
Gates Of suffrage-to correspond with
those names and 70 hold them for the
purpose OF controlling the elections.
Senator George Gray is the antipode Of
that picture in every respect He is
handsome, popular, admirable in charac-
ter. thorough lawyer, erudite, scholarly.
calm, self possessed, amiable, liberal.
honorable, incapable of deceit. too
magnanimous TO seek improper advan.
tage and too intellectual to be over
reached. The Philadelphia Record says
Of him:
George Gray, the Democratic Senator,
Is quiet, retiring, thoughtful man, with
big brain, the most profound thinker,
and in many respects the ablest man in
the state a student scholar, and
great lawyer
Such are the men. They are fit expo
nents Of the causes they rep, esent. The
one is meanly partisan, the other is
nobly patriotic. The one advocates the
supremacy Of ignorance and vice, the
other supports the cause of intelligence
and virtue.
It is an issue Of Gray against Higgins;
right against fraud.

stances but to start as Brazil has started
is unprecedented and dangerous beyond
any peaceful revolution ever conceived.
Brazil has about 12, 000, 900 people, Of
whom, so per cent, are not only unedu.
Gated but entirely ignorant Of all Of
the duties Of self government. The over
throw Of the imperial government was
not accomplished because Of general de-
sire Of the people for republican gov
ernment, but at the instance and under
the Leadership Of few ambitious leaders
bow such an instantaneous change as
this may affect the state, it is impossible
to conjecture. II it is only the movement
OF few leaders, and If the people are
really ignorant or Indifferent, it may still
leave Brazil prey to adventures at home
or abroad The value Of leavening the
mass is shown in the experience OF
our own revolution. Here the process
went on long and slowly until there was
no man or woman in all the colonies who
had not a realizing sense Of the causes Of
the contention with Great Britain. But
we had an intelligent, hardy, independ-
ent and freedom loving people A people
who had exhibited great qualities by
coming to a new country and start
Ing towns and cities ia the
face Of hostile savages With
the people Of Brazil the situation
Is reversed IN every particular For that
reason the experiment is perilous. It
SEEMS to be undertaken not only con.
trarY to the successful precedent Of the
United States but contrary to All prece.
dents Of political reforms. Contrary to
prudence end good sense and to tie
