New York Politics.

The New York Times OF yesterday
answers the Dispatch's article OF Sun
day, and bids us, whether we are CLEvE-
LAND or HILL men, have no fear OF COM
plications in the presidential fight be-
cause of present troubles in the Demo
cratic party of New York city.
AS yet we are not convinced that 1t
will be necessary for the Democrats to
nominate either CLEVELAND or HILL.
We may choose to go to another State
for candidate, so there is no personal
attachment to bias us, but We do get
alarmed when we see a large body OF
Democrats joining fusion movement
which is the offspring of Republican
leaders. Experience teaches that all
such combinations are dangerous to us.
We may not understand New York
politics very well, but we have sense
enough to know that the sort OF Demo-
Gratis who bolt their own party to join
Republicans in making up municipal
ticket are not the sort of Democrats who
can be counted on to elect Democratic
President in 1892.

great metropolis to which her natural adj
vantages entitle her.
The city is growing every year and
there is a great demand for sites for
homes Of working people. They can
not afford to pay high prices for building
lots, and it is not TO their interest to be
sent to far-off and inaccessible suburbs.
What they want is to be in the city and
near 10 their places OF employment
Nowadays nearness in large degree con-
sists OF conyeniences Of travel For in
stance. the Broad-street yiaduct will
bring Chimborazo Park in ten or twelve
minutes' time (by stroet-cars) of tho City
Hall. The First and Fifth-street VIA
ducts will do the like for the north side.
The Manchester electric-cars and the
FREQ bridge already do this service for
Manchester.
1t is not for the interest OF Richmond
that che should grow in one direction
chiefly. She should expand north, south,
east. and westward so that the man who
cannot pay $50 or s25 per foot for a
building lot may get one at $50 or 80.
The north side and Church bill neigh

accessible. The West End can take care

has scores OF advantages and will al
WAYS be the most fashionable section,
but the north side and the eastern hills
need TO be brought into closer contact
with that great population which resides
on Shockoe Hill.
The Broad-street viaduct was tho sug-
eestion OF the founder OF this paper,
who was fond of writing in his pleasant,
hopeful way of the glorious time coming
when that street should EXTEND on a
level, from Chimborazo Hill to the Fair

meet an avenue leading to the Free
bridge, over which the driver would re-
turn to this city.

great Joy, and the other links in the
route may be supplied before long.
II may be doubted If the city at this
moment has the money to undertake to
construct the Broad-street viaduct, but
we have great faith in the time.honored
adsge that "where there is q will there
is a way."

body of young woman only eighteen
wears of age, the wife Of II. L. Morri-
SON, twenty years of age. has been found
near Biltmore. concealed under some
brush. An examination revealed two
bnllet-wounds in the left breast and one
in the temple near the right eye. There
was frightful cash ten inches long
from the chin extending down the rsht
side. Morrison and his wife came 10
Asbeville a year ago and have been
living in the western part OF the town
near the French Broad bridge. Morrl-
SON has been working in a furniture
factory. Last week Mrs. Morrison left
her husband and went to her brother,
William Sullivan, who lived on the west

Turned home from work Morrison went
10 his house and compelled Mrs. Morrl-
son TO leave with him, beating her with
brass knuckles and otherwise cruelty
treating her. When Sullivan returned
he went in search of her, but could not
find her or Morrison. The latter has

before the flames we're subdued. Fortu-

coLoREp MANS OPINION.
Rev. g. s. Grandson Plainly states OBJ
joctions TO the Lodge Bill
IRoston Herald

JoctiOns 10 the Loogo Dill
boston Herald
Rev. G. s. Grandson, president OF
Bennett College. Greensboro, n. G.,
the first colored man to occupy that
position, is in this city, and expressed
his views of the Lodge election bill to q
Heratd reporter yesterday afternoon.
He said:
al do not doubt that the United
States Government has a right to enact
laws controlling Federal elections, but [
do doubt the wisdom and expedlency OF
adopting the Lodge bill, now pending
in Congress. believe that the bill has
its motivity, not III any great love for
the negro, but in desire to perpetuate
party supremacy. 1t will operate only
to intensity the Bourbon spirit OF oppo-
sition to the negro to ALLEVIATE from him
that growing conservative element that
is slowly but surely coming to the front
in the South, and will at 40 distant day
dominate the thought and life Of its peo-
pie, and it will furnish text for the
politicians to appeal afresh to political
rancor, race prejudice and passion and
sectional hate, and to inaugurate new
reign OF terror and bloodshed among
my people.
1.-THE South has net made the progress
in liberal sentiment that l could wish !;
yet the conservative element, it's best
and most useful citizens, constitute a
class much larger and moro tolerant to-
ward the negro and DESTROYS of his i'm
provement along all lines Of real adj
vancement than the North is generally
aware OF or willing TO coucede.
Secondly, 1 am opposed to the
Federal elections bill because | do not
believe il will accomplish the object in
the South which its friends claim for it.
1t will only madden the southern white
people, and they will resist it to the Bit
ter end by all the means which spite and
ingenuity could invent. Any measure
that looks toward the solidifying Of the
negro vote Of the South for a party that
is historically odious to the southern
white people carries with it, in the
nature OF things, that other corollary-a
solid white vote.
This means q solid South unless the
national Government means to keep an
armed force at the polls.
"As it now appears to me, the best
thing for the negro, for the South, for
the peace and harmony OF the country.
Is division of the negro vote in State
and local politics. In vain may we ex-
pect division of the white vote of the
South 80 long as there is solid colored
vote, in its ignorance, poverty. and
degradation seeking to control public
affsirs Such vote, as long as there is
a possibility OF its coming into power.
ought never TO be solid, for should il
come into power the State would be
under tho domination OF ignorance and
incompetency, and, hence, OF misrule.
lido not believe in the colored peo-
pies giving up thei- struggle for equal
rights. immunities and privileges, and
settling down in utter despair. But since
the Usited States Supreme Court--a Re
publican body--has declared the civil
rights bill unconstitutional, and said,
virtually, that the State OF Mississippi
may compel railroad companies TO pro-
vide Jim Grow cars for the negroes, Il

Dave Hill.

Governor Hill, of New York, adj
dressed the Democrats Of Canton, Ohio,
the night before last, and with great wit
and wisdom explained to them the short
comings and out.croppings of the tariff
bill.
Canton is the homo of Major McKIN-
LEY, but we hope will afford no abiding
place for his doctrines
We do not know that the next Demo-
cratic nomination for the presidency
will go to New York or, if it goes there,
whether it will fall to CLEVELAND, HILL,
WHITNEY, or some one else, but we are
sure that the fact that Governor HILL is
making himself useful in this campaign
will in no wise iniure him with the men
who will make the nomination.
