THE GREAT QUESTION.

There is one question depending on
the election of the next President
which in its momentous Importance
---->. wal IIuPoI aVI' vnvoS must oocil W
every philosophic observer to exceed
every other political question that the
people are now called upon to deter
mine. All differences Of opinion re-
specting administrative reform, or
silver coinage, or free trade or pro-
lection, or the personal qualities or
antecedents of candidates, in short,
the whole ordinary array Of electoral
controversies, are. in comparison, of
inferior, indeed OF almost trivial mo-
ment.
We mean the question whether
those Southern States which have in
herited negro population surpass-
ing the number of their white citizens,
shall, by Federal law and Federal
military force, be subjected to the po-
litical domination Of the negroes, to
negro Legislatures, negro Governors,
and negro Judges in their courts, or
whether they shall continue to be
governed by white men as now.
Now, it makes no difference who
may be the President whom the Re-
publican party elects-since Mr..
BLAINE is now permanently out of
the line Of power-that party is by its
nature and traditions under the ne
cessity of enacting and executing an
election law whose purpose and effect
will be to put the negroes in control
CT several of the Southern States.
There will be some unwillingness on
the part of patriotic minority
among the Republicans who will re-
volt at the consequences of such a
measure, but their opposition cannot
avail. The necessity of the situation
will suppress all such resistance. A
Force bill is the first, and the inevita-
BILE result Of sweeping Republican
victory in November.
On the other hand, and by the ma
ture and necessity Of the ideas in
volved, the success Of the Democracy
is death to the Force bill project.
Killed in this election, it can never be
revived.
In this view of the contest what con-
scientious Democrat can hesitate
about his duty? Better vote for the
liberty and the white government Of
the Southern States, even if the can
didate were the Devil himself, rather
than consent to the election of re-

A Mules Queer Appetite.

Monday a big mule on the farm of
Mr.. Henry Rowland, near Clearspring,
Md, was noticed while out in the field
to be acting very queerly, and seemed
to be biting at something on the
ground, and great agitation was no.
ticed among the cows in the same
field.
Upon investigation it was found
that the mule was kneeling on the
body of three days old. calf, and
had the carcass nearly devoured. The
cows tried to horn him away when he
first caught it, but he kicked and
paved them fiercely, and, while the
calls mother bawled frantically, ate
the calf almost entirely, except the
bones. 1t is said to be very rarely
that mule develops taste for flesh,
but the above case is witnessed to by
Messrs. Prather and Staley, Of that
section.

Patent medicines differ-One has
reasonableness, another has not. One
has reputation-anotherha has not. One
has confidence, born of success-an-
other has only "hopes."
Don't take it for granted that all
patent medicines are alike. They are
not. Let the years of uninterrupted
success and the tens of thousands of
cured and happy men and women,
place DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery and DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription on the side of the comparison
to which they belong. And there isn't
a state or territory, no-nor hardly
country in the world, whether its
people realize it or not, but have men
and women in them that're happier
because Of their discovery and their
effects.
Think of this in health. Think Of
it In sickness. And then think wheth-
er you can afford to make the trial if
the makers can afford to take the risk
to give your money back, as they do,
if they do not benefit or cure you.

AT meeting OF the Republican ma
tional executive committee in Wash
ington on Monday W. ]. Campbell
was selected as chairman and assigned
the somewhat difficult job of trying to
re-elect Mr.. Harrison President of the
United States. Mr.. Campbell is a
Chicago lawyer, and is said to be a
very shrewd man. Mr.. Clarkson was
put out because Mr.. Harrison told
him plainly that he preferred some
one else to manage the campaign.
The Hon. Tom Carter, Of Montana,
was made secretary of the committee,
and Cornelius N. Bliss, the rich New
Yorker, was selected to devise ways
and means for frying the fat out Of
the protected manufacturers and mo-
nopolists who flourish so luxuriantly
under Republican administration.
1t is a somewhat significant fact that
four men refused the craftsmanship of
the national committee. and it was
only after the greatest persuasion that
Mr.. Campbell undertook the job.

CLEVELAND AND STEVENSON.

The national Democratic conven-
ton, which was in session three days
in Chicago last week, finished its bus
mess Thursday afternoon. As an
pounced in last weeks REGISTER,
Ex-President Grover Cleveland, OF
New York, was nominated for Presi
dent on the first ballot at 3.15 Thurs
day morning. He received GIT votes
to 115 for Hill, 103 for Boies, 3 fol
Morrison, 2 for Campbell, SO for Cor
man, 16 for Stevenson, IA for Carlisle,
and each for Pattison, Russell and
Whitney. In the afternoon, Gen
eral Adlai E. Stevenson, OF Illinois,
was nominated for Vice-President on
the first ballot, receiving 554 votes
Gray, of Indiana, getting 254 and the
balance scattering.
For President, West Virginia gave
7 votes for Cleveland, 8 for German
and one each for Hill and Pattison
For Vice President 4 votes went tc
Stevenson, to Gray and A to Morse
AS the vote shows, the convention
was overwhelmingly in favor OF Cleve
land, and Hill had no show whatever
OF the 115 votes that the latter re
ceived, 70 were cast by New York
Hill was ardently supported by the
Tammany organization Of New York
to the very last, but after the vote
showed Cleveland's election Bourke
Cochran, a Tammany leader, moved
to make the election unanimous, which
was done with a whoop.
We think the Democrats have noml
mated a winning ticket. We do not
think there is a man in the country
in whom the masses OF the people
have greater confidence than they
have in Grover Clev Gland. His name
will create an enthusiasm among
Democrats that no other could posi-
bly call forth. His sturdy honesty
and his unyielding courage, his frank
ness and his ability have endeareo
him to his own party and compelled
the respect of even his enemies. His
former administration was without q
faint OF corruption, and no one in the
past fifty years has filled the Office Of
President with greater ability than he
His nomination shows that the Demo
cratic party, always patriotic, is de
termined to put its very best men for
ward.
General Stevenson, the candidate
for Vice President, is one Of the mos,
popular men in the State Of Illinois.
He has served with credit as Con
gresham, and during Mr.. Cleveland''
administration was First Assistan!
Postmaster General. He is man o.
high character, and Democrat OF the
sort the people like. His name adds
strength to the ticket that woulC
have been strong enough to win will
almost any man.
So far as West Virginia is concern
ed, no stronger combination cou,u
have been named than Cleveland
and Stevenson. If this ticket cannot
pull through it were useless to try
with any other. Already the hills are
ringing with enthusiasm, and we be
lieve the Democratic majority will be
not less than five thousand.
