4 Nov, speaking Of ourselves, re say
We do BOT base this conclusion upon
our views Of the tariff, bus upon oar

Of the distinct.
Why do We DOT reach ibis eoueIg-
sion upon our own siess Of the tariff
The answeF suggests ilself-we are

declare tbsg''~s're prepared to make no
sacrifice Of principle or party 10 sscuFe

What does that declaration, lakei.
~ connection with the foregoing mean
Simply that we will DOT sacrifice our
party for local Interests by trying 10

prolectiooist. Why Because III all
other respects be would, perhaps, be O
Democrat after OR own convictions
and because his opponent would be a
proteclionist.
Does the Commercial mean that The
Democratic ticket should be bolted
and the Republican selected if the
Democrat be a prolectioBist The
Commerciai says there are DO issues Of
consequence outside Of tie tariff issues
We thought that, though secession
was dead, State rights was still a part
Of the Democratic creed. We thought
that the race questions such as social
equality, intermarrlage, mixed schools
: etc, were a dividing Issue Of some i'm
portaBcc between the two great parties
The great difference and only rea
, difference between the EcHo and Com
