and the army nurses, whom he ac-
cused of having entered the service
solely for the pay they received,
which came with bad grace from a
man who fought against the Union.
Mr.. Meredith at one point in the
debate dramatically exclaimed: 81
thank God that no woman south of
Mason and Dixon's line who served
as nurse has come here asking for
pension" The answer was prompt
and pointed, when Representative
Caruth, of Kentucky, another Demo
crat eaid: "My friend is mistaken.
| have two bills on the calendar
now.' Then the House laughed,
and Mr.. Meredith looked sheepish.
Judging from the disgust the
Democrats have already expressed
the selection Of Mr.. w. J. Campbell,
OF Chicago, by the President and
his election to ne chairman by the
national committee was an excellent
thing for the Republican party.
For many years it has been part of
tn e policy of the Democratic party
to abuse personally the man who
becomes c hartman of the Republi-
can national committee. Mr..
Campbell, who left a most excellent
impression upon those who met him
for the first time, here last week,
only smiles at he Democratic abuse,
and he expeC to continue smiling
until he has the pleasure Of know
ing that Harrison and Reid have
been elected, pleasure which he is
very confident Of enjoying next
November. Mr., Campbell has gone
home for few days, and the an.
nouncement Of the membership of
the executive committee, which will
nave charge of the campaign, will
not be made until his return to
Washington, which will be shortly.
Since the foregoing paragraph
was prepared for the press it has
been announced that Mr. Campbell
cannot possible serve because OF per
sonal business alfairs.-ED.
Senator Hale, sounded the key
note Of the campaign in a brilliant
speech in favor of his resolution
setting forth the difference between
The Republican poicy Of protection
and the Democratic policy of "tar-
If for revenue only" otherwise free
trade. He notified the Democrats
that the fight would be fought by
the Republicans as an American
fight, the policy Of the Democratic
party, as shown by its tariff plank,
being British and not American.
Tariff for revenue only" said Mr..
Hale, "with protection denounced
as robbery, is British doctrine"
Senator Vest attempted to reply, but
the only important thing in his
speech was his acceptance for his
party of the issue - protection
against free trade.
The anti Cleveland Democrats are
making frantic efforts TO get together
and to hold the solid South together
by shouting in concert "force bill"
and "negro domination" in the
South. Republicans smile at this
revival of the "bloody-shirt."

THE NOMINATIONS.

The nominations of Mayor Evans for
the board of public work and the police
force will BIO made to Council Friday
night. There is no one to question the
right-mindedness of Mayor Evans, and
it is the duty of good citizens to stand
by him for the appointment of good
officials.
The police force has good material in
it, but it has lacked discipline and been
most ineflicently handled. 1t does
seem, possible that proper man may
be found who is capable of handling a
body like tho Roanoke police force and
bringing it to state of model efficiency.
q There should be no backward stop, and
the mayor is as capable of picking out
tho right man as any one who may
press a candidate for that position
The ideal candidate is not to be found
in the man who is out of lob and
needs the place, by any means.
AS to the board of public works, the
term Of Office will be brief, as the ap-
pointment is only for the term of tho
present appointing power. The men to
BIO selected should unquestionably be of
high technical and practical informa-
ton. There should be no question on
this point. Each member of the board
should be capable of not only overseeing
any public work, but of making plans
and estimates for such, and of actual
experimenting the work in person.
