The recent conduct Of two Of the leading
New York journals, in connection with Mr.
Cleveland. is not such as 10 reflect the slight
est honor upon the character Of the New
York press. The interview which the
World claimed to have held with the ex
President. with reference 20 the SUMS first
attack upon him, is proven 10 have been es-
sentially false Words were put IN Mr..
Cleveland's mouth, calculated TO damage
him yery seriously in the eyes Of the public,
which are now shown 20 have had their origin
exclusively in the imagination ofthe Worlds
reporter so reckless q protension. can only
be explained on two grounds, either, the
World was eager 10 create a sensation, how
ever brief it might be, for it could only last
twenty-four hours. or that paper was simply
using Mr.. Cleveland, 10 strike a blow at
the sun.
As for the reply Of the latter journal TO
the supposed reflections by Mr. Cleveland
npon MIR. Dana, it would be difficult to
discover a more offensive specimen OF
coarseness and scurrility, and It's only
effect has been to excite popular disgust
and contempt against its author, who, in
penning such diatribe and afterwards
giving il 10 the public, was violating eNor
rule Of journalistic decen"y az may wen
be considered hir'.s discreditable TO the
whole American press that any prominent
American journal could be found that
would disfgure its columns with editorial
billingsgate so foul and brutal.
so far as Mr. Cleveland is concerned
now that he has denied that he ever uttered
the words attributed 10 him by the World,
which excited this disgraceful attack. pub
lie opinion will only turn to him with more
respect than ever. The expression which
General Bragg applied to him, I'VE love
him for the enemies he has made, is as true
today as when it was spoken, and not the
less so in the light Of the enmity Of the New
York sun. He can afford TO regard such
foes with contempt as long as he is sup
ported by the best sentiment Of the Ameri-
can people.

ruf TrMrS-cTTY DELIVERY.

In an interview n few days ago with a
representative Of the New FORK World, SEN
ator ingalls,, Of Kansas, after dwelling az
some length on the identity Of the interests
al the West and South, expressed the opinion
that the ultimate coalition Of the political
forces of these two sections was inevitable.
and in the near future. II may be remark
ed. incidentally, that these views have an
unusual interest as coming from one who
has probably excrted his talents and iniiu-
cncc more strcnuously than any man in
public life 10 keep the south and West apart
by constantly innaming sectional prejudices
and antipathies by bitter and cxasperating
speeches. But this only gives the present
opinions Of the Senator the greater weight
as being directly in opposition TO what he
would very probably prefer tothink, namely,
that these two sections were not Identical
in their material interests, and therefore,
must remain permanently alienated.
The impartial observer recognizes that
every word which we have quoted from the
interview with senator Ingalls, is cssenti-
ally correct There is but one thing which
causes the South and West 10 stand apart
even in this period. We refer 10 ;as' sec
tional feeling which unfortunately has not
vet died out. although a quarter Of a CEN
Jury has elapsed since the close Of the war.
This feeling does not show itself In any
marked way except in the Presidential
elections, when an unusual effort is made
by the Republican politicians to kindle it
into the fercest flame. I'm all the recent
elections. the Western communities have
voted in accord with the same principles
a. the South has done, and this is not sur
prisine, for their material interests are
really identical.
That great movement Of the agricultural
classes, which eliminated in the Farmers
Alliance. appealed even more strongly 10 the
warmost sympathy Of the Western popula-
ton. as a whole, than 20 the Southern. Al
though the wide expanse Of the Western
country is dotted wlth growing manufacture
ing cities that are clamoring for the mainte-
nance ofthe high tariff laws, the Western peo-
pie are even more FESTIVE than the Southern
under the burden of a general economic sys-
TEN which is grinding into the dust its most
important interest. Both the South and the
West are essentially agricultural sections,
and must continue SO, for practically III
definite time. This alone should be sufficient
20 unite them in political sentiment, and
therefore. lead them 10 act together for the
attainment of common political ends.
That it will do so more and more with the
progress Of time, admits Of little doubt, for
every year must mark an apprcciable de-
cline in the existing sectional feeling. This
decline VIII be FASTENED by the rising in
dustrial prosperity Of the South, which Will
make its political cooperation matter of
paramount importance TO the West when
ever any object is TO be accomplished that
will accrue 10 its advantage.

ELECTION LAW AND rmE SENATE.

If the final decision as TO the passage Of a
national election law rested with the House
the amplest assurance might be INDUCED
that the measure would become a law with
little modification of its most INSCRIPTIONS
features. But the final decision rests with
the senate, which, while as Republican in
sentiment for all practical purposes, as the
House, has so far been governed 10y much
more liberal rules. Under these rules the
Democratic minority could, without diff
Guilty. obstruct the passage of the election
law when il came 10 the Senate for concur
renee in the action Of the House.
II remains 10 be seen whether, under these
circumstances, the Republican majority
will confer on the President of the Senate
all the powers now enjoyed by the Speaker
Of the House. This would be very radical
departure on the part of this slow and con-
seryatiye body, but it is not at all improb-
able that underline pressure of party in
nuences these Republican Senators, consti-
tuting the majority, would 90 as far as the
Republican majority in the House. There
is reason to believe that the policy pursued
by the Republican party in the latter branch
az Congress was highly distasteful TO many
of the Republican representatives, but they
subordinated their opinions TO the Will Of
their party associates. This will probably
be the course that will De followed 10y the
Republican Senators when the same meas
IRE is brought before them. The liberal
rules of that body will give way TO rules
more stringent and sweeping, and the cleo
ton law be passed in substantially the
form in which il leaves the House.
Already the leading organs Of the Repub-
lican party at the North are urging upon
Congress the necessity Of haste in pressing
this election law TO conclusion. Why
there is any special need Of haste, IL is diff
cult 10 see, but no doubt the Radical press
object 70 even brief cessation lin that arhi-
trary course Of action which has distin-
gnished the present Congress almost up 70
the present hour. This session being
a long one, there will be ample
time not only 20 pass the Ma
tional. Election law, but any other iniqui-
tous measure that may be suggested to the
ingenious aud INSCRIPTIONS minds Of the
Republican members.
