CONGRESSIONAL DENOMINATIONS

one Of the most notable features of recent
political history is the unusual number OF
Democratic members Of Congress who have
received a denomination at the hands of
their constituents. So far, not single
Southern representative Of prominence
who has desired to be returned to the House
has failed 10 secure an endorsement or been
turned down in the nominating convention
IN favor of some opponent. In Virginia,
every Democratic representative has been
ronominated. and this is a source of general
satisfaction.
The explanation Of the fact to which re-
ference is made, is due TO the strong indig-
nation with which the Southern people have
followed the course Of the Republicans i'll
the House during the present session Of
Congress. They have been fully determined
to show their opposition to that course at
every opportunity in their power. and in 20
way did it appear that this would be more
effective than by returning to the House the
men who had been engaged in the first fight
against the Force bill. denominations
seemed t. be due them as the best evidence
of the approval of their constituents with
respect to their conduct as representatives
in connection with this odious measure.

TARIFF DEBATE THE SENATE

The prolonged discussion in the senate of
the Tariff bill, and its obvious effect in en-
tightening public opinion on the subject.
constitute very striking commentary upon
the tyrannical proceeding of the Republican
majority in the House in rushing the Nc
Kinley measure through at the dictation Of
Reed, without giving the country an oppOr-
tunity to learn from the full debate of its
various schedules, its true character II
has become a habit Of the American public
10 reflect critically upon the conservatism
Of the Senate, but that conservatism.
in this instance, has been fruitful Of
very great benefit to the American
people. Ii is true that the Tariff bill will
pass in form but slightly modified, but at
the same time the discussion that has been
going on in the Senate has directed popular
attention 10 the subject more closely than
has been the case since the last presidential
campaign. This discussion has been very
able and exhaustive on the Democratic
side, and the exposure Of the inequalities
of the bill has been complete
30 full a debate, with all the advantages
in favor Of the Democratic Senators, could
not but make very deep impression upon
the public mind, and Of this fact there are
already many convincing evidences. One
o: the most remarkable is the growing pop
ularity Of the reciprocity proposition, which
Mr.. Blaine has been dwelling upon 50 fire.
quently and so effectively Of late. This pro
position was taken up on Tuesday in the
Senate by Mr.. Hale in theform of an amend
ment to the Tariff bill, favoring reciprocity
treaties with the South and Central Amer
lea republics, and discussed at length, his
general position being supported by Mr..
Sherman, although opposed to the dc
tails of the amendment. Two years ago no
Republican of prominence and influence
would have committed himself TO course
apparently so hostile 10 the fundamental
principles Of the protective system. Now
Hale and Sherman, politicians distinguished
for their cautiousness as well a. their abil-
ity, have declared themselves to be friendly
20 reciprocal arrangements with other ma
tons that will enlarge the area Of Ameri-
can exchange. SO far as the effect of such
a policy on the system Of protection is con-
cerned, the impartial observer will be dis
posed TO agree with Senator Dolph, Of Ore
gon, who stated in the DEBATE on Tuesday
that he was opposed to 1.-THE whole brood Of
reciprocity amendments as dangerous TO
the protective system, surrender of the
outworks. a creyasse in the wall, that would
sap away the whole SYSTEM"

SOUTH CAROLINA DEMOCRACY

In recent interview, Governor Richard,
son, Of South Carolina, expressed .ne opin-
ion that the threatened split in the Demo-
cratic organization cf that state would be
avoided by the calmer counsels and the
more reasonable feeling that had already
begun TO prevail among the supporters OF
the different factions into which the party
had become divided by the progress Of the
Tillman movement. Fortunately. there
seems TO be excellent ground for thinking
that Governor Richardson is right in his
view, and il may well be cause for sincere
generalization not only TO all who have
the welfare Of South Carolina at heart, but
TO all wh.carnestly dopipcaie every rupture
that is calculated to make the impression
upon the minds Of the Republicans in Con-
gress that the Democrats of the South are
involved in local discussions that will lead
10 permanent separation.
This ia serious crisis in the affairs Of
the Southern States, and for that reason i,
is incumbent upon the white people Of these
states TO stand closely united in their de
termination 90 resist the aggressive sec
tional policy OF the Republican party, and
to employ every means 10 drive it from the
position Of power which ii has so shame
fully abused during the whole Of the present
session Of Congress. The series of euber-
material elections which have in the last
few weeks come of in the South, have
shswn very great increase in the size OF
Democratic majorities, revealing that even
in elections involving only local issues,
the threatened Force bin and other Repub-
lican measures have had a far-reaching
influence in bringing out the Democratic
voters. Everything so far observed indi-
Gates a victory Of Unprecedented proper
tons for the Democratic party in the South
ern States in the Congressional elections to
take place this fall; for these elections Will
allow the Southern whites to give direct eX-
preston 10 their sentiments with reference
to the efforts Of their political enemies to
create a general system Of corrupt and par
tisan returning boards in every southern
Congressional district.
1t is gratifying to know that the last and
most Trustworthy adyices from south Caro-
lima 90 to show that it is highly probable
that all the differences in the Democratic
party in that Commonwealth will be healed.
and that the Palmetto State will in the fall
be found well advanced in the ranks Of the
triumphant Democracy.

According 20 the inductive method OF

"the election in Vermont is taking place To-
day with the usual result"
I'rohindity and induction vanish before
facts. The elections in Vermont have taken
place, but not with the usual result. Full
returns are not in, but according TO esti-
mates the number Of Democratic assem-
biymen has been doubled, and the majority
in the state will be about 1900 The full
significance Of this majority in state

1t is Of little moment what motives and
what influences were at work in the Repub-
hcan party to defeat the measures of these
three men. The measures were based and
the men unsupported them were actuatcd
by base motives.
Lodge, Reed, and Hoar have not even
posed as patriots. They put themselves be-
fore the country as intense. unscrupulous
partisans, using their own party to ac-
complsh their own selfish purposes. They
were defeated mainly by their own col
leagues. But in defeating them their col
leagues have done the country lasting
service: first, in defeating the vicious and
threatening Force bill; and, second, in
displacing these three men as leaders. The
Force bill has done the country a service in

THE departure Of the Speaker from Wash
ington for the purpose Of looking after his
canvass in Maine in person was a step
that he was compelled 10 take if he wished
to utilize every means of securing a re-clec-
ton at the coming election. That reelection
is even now far from being assured, and
this uncertainty will lead TO such a lavish
use Of money by the Republican managers
as has never had a precedent even in this
district, where bribery has been rampant
for 50 many years. When Mr.. Reed takes
direct charge Of his canvass considerable
increase in the degree Of energy displayed
on the pant of the Republicans will be OBJ
