THE FIELD OF POLITICS.

 nominated for governor he was styl- ed "the Moses that is to lead us across the sea of corruption" Wise prediction. For the good of the people Moses never got there. The same God rules us now.
 Ft. Smith Times So Dr. D. c. Kelly the preacher prohibition can. didate for Governor of Tennessee, withdraws from the canvass upon a hint from Bishop Keener. Score one for Kelly, two for the Methodist church, and goose egg for Fizer- Birmingham Clayton.
 Morrilton Headlight; Compare the two men: Eagle, man of the people and all his life farmer; FL ger kid glove, plug hat wearing gentleman, a stranger to manual la bor and incapable of sympathizlng with the laboring masses. Which is the peoples candidate9
 Hope Gazette; The clause of the state democratic platform demand. ing seperate aud equal railway ac. commodations for whites and blacks, was received with loud and continu. ous applause by the delegates of the state convention and crowded house of spectators. The next legislature will not fail to give this much necd- ed legislation.
 Searcy Beacon: The first shot 6r. ed in the riot at Forrest City was by Tom Psrham, Fusionist or Union Laborite, who was afterward killed. The first grand jury empanneled af. ter the rot, by which the trouble was investigated, was composed al. most exclusively of Union Labor men. These are facts which the Re publicsns and their allies studiously attempt to conceal, but they are stubborn facts all the same, and we challenge refutation.
 Morrilton Headlight: The Audi tor of the state has filed with the Governor his report showing a bal ance of &4,649, ,l35,69 on hand June 30. Compare this If you please with the condition of the treasury sixteen years ago when Carpetbag Republi- canism was kicked out of power with not cent in the treasury and debt of ten or twelve millions hanging ov- CT us. This is Democracy, the other Republicanism. We leave It to any honest man to say which has done best for the people--the tax payers.
 Little Rock Gazette: Having first passed a silver bill so framed as to degrade the standard silver dollar, the Republican members of the House have by concurrence with the report of the Joint Conference Com mittee, joined their political brethren in the Senate, and forced on the people law under which hostile Secretary of Treasury can reduce silver to subsidiary com. In both the Senate and House all the Re. publicans voted to destroy silver at the behest of Wall street, and all the Democrats voted in favor of free coinage of silver The fact must not be forgotten.
 Little Rock Democrat: It is one of the phases of poor, weak human nature that we delight to parade the evil deeds of our opponents while carefully concesling our own. Thus our Republican friends never tire in portrsying the election frauds of the South. Thousands of negroes are deprived of the ballot while violence and murder run rot. But the men who have the most to say of outrag es upon the ballot in the South are as dumb as oysters when it comes to the wholesale venslity Of Republican members of the New York legisla- ture, the emhezzlement of Quay and the infamous practices of Dudley. It is not denied that there are here and there elections outrages in the South. It is not denied that Tn 6 few locali- ties the negro vote has been sup pressed. But if these abuses were ten times as great as they are they could not equal in their far reaching consequences the corruptions of Pennsylvania politics under Quay and the wholesale bribery of electors by Dudley. The shallow hypocrisy of the Republicans IS apparent ID their efforts to cover up the iniqui ties of their own partlsans.
