1t is significant that the only hope
the democrats now have Of obtaining
the presidency is through throwing the
election into the house Of representa-

this can be done only by the third party
carrying several Of the north western
states and as none of those states can
be carried by that party without the
votes of republican members Of the

Mr.. Eli Perkins, who has been maxi

American reporter. Among other
things Mr. Perkins told the following
incident of his southern tour:

tho brilliant free trade editor OF the old free

favor OF protective tnrin on rico and sea island

for twelve cents pound. They knocked down
the price Of our South Carolina long staple cot

Mr. Hemphill, you Yankees have u tarin

Referring to this incident related by
Mr.. Perkins, the Augusta Chronicle,

Had this story boon told year or so ago
