and Opinions Concerning the Caprices
of Politics.
Augusta Chronicle: Old Zeb
Vance will make great fight for his
seat in North Carolina.
Speaker Reed is said to be disgusted
with the United States Senate. Here
certainly is a first class opportunity
for reciprocity.
Wilmington Messenger: Repre-
resentattve Rogers can empty the
Speakers chair of His. Fattiness at
will When Rogers rises Reed vam-
ouses.
Senators Evarts and Hiscock ap
parently are under the impression
that they are in Washington to say
eve too" to Tom Reed and Mat
Quay.
Springfield Republican,: The par
ty cannot hold its forces together on
the Reed Mckinley platform. Every
days developments are demonstrating
the truth of this.
Manchester Union: Major Nc
Kinley may have dictated the last
National Republican platform, but his
chances for writing the next one are
growing mighty slim.
Wilmington Messenger: The Nc
Kinley monstrosity is heavy on South
ern negroes. 1t increases the tax on
cottor ties 200 per cent. What viii
lainous piece of robbery
Warren Va0 Sentinel: Old
Blair, after talking the country to
death in a six weeks speech, had the
impundence to offer resolution limi-
ting debate in the Senate.
The New York World thinks
Senator Vest is entitled to the credit
of exposing with the keenest ridicule
the Republican abandonment of the
poor old home market humbug.
The Louisville Couier-JournaI
says the Force bill emanates from the
madness of desperation, and, while it
is potent for mischief to all, it affords
promise of real benefit to none.
Judge Sener, Virginia Republi-
can: "The alien and sedition laws are
remembered only to be anathematiz-
ed. Let every patriot pray that, come
what may, the cup of federal cleo
ton law may never be pressed to the
nations lips"
Tennessee Republicans have a
fine chance of carry ing that State this
year." says the Buffalo Commercial.
They had fine chance of carrying
Kentucky few days ago, but the G.
o. p isn't taking" many "chances"
this year.
Durham Sun: Let farmers con-
slider we'll these things: IF they get
help from the government, they must
pay for it; if they go in debt they
must pay for it. What they need is
relief from unjust burdens, self reli-
ance, industry and Gods blessing.
The Augusta Chronicle seems to be
of the opinion that Col. Polk has got
the cart before the hoise somehow In
what he said at Montgomery as to the
Democratic party being "side issue. "
1t says the "Al!iance is a side issue
compared to the Democratic party"
Buffalo Commercial: Our farmers
alliances that imagine the secret of
national prosperity lies in the power
of the government to issue unlimited
quantities of paper money should
study the experience of the Argentine
Republic. Paper money is as plenty
as water down there.
-Philadelphia Record: There is no
better school for the propas alton OF
sound information on the tariff than
the Senate of the United States. While
the debate progresses there will be
more Plumbs and Paddecks to step
out of the ranks of party to champion
the cause of tariff reform.
"A newspaper conducted by ne.
groes in this State remarks: eff you
want to know the exact number of
white Republicans there is in North
Carolina, give US the number of offices
in the State, among which is distrib-
uted 100000, and we will give you
the name and number if desired.
philadelphia Times: Why should
the men who are pushing the Force
bill hesitate because public opinion is
! against it? That is only the greater
reason why they will need the Force
bill. The more emphatically the elec
tions go against them the stronger the
necessity for counting in their can
didates.
| -Neacs and Obseruer: Senator
Vance is doing most excellent work il
the Senate. Never before has he beer
better engaged for the benefit of hi:
people except alone when he was i'm.
porting cotton cards for the women Of
the State and salt for the people, and
shoes and clothing for the soldiers OF
North Carolina It'll
-Asheville Caisen; One needs te
be a close reader of the Congfessiona
Record these days to realize how
much hard work Senator Vance is do
ing in the cause of tariff reform. It il
very of day with him when he does
not make "a speech or two, while his
cross questioning of protectioni<ts il
well nigh incessant.
