DisgruutIed-NoteE.

WAsHINGToN, D. G.. AUGUSTA Special
The fstes seem to have set the seal of con-
domination upon the Third party. It's great
schemes for political glory are frustrated
almost as soon as concocted. The Third
party leaders have all along counted upon
North Carolina with great confidence.
Nothing could persuade them that the peo-
pie Of that State were not wild to embrace
the new political creed-that thing Of
shrods and patches. Their first State Con-
Vention opened the eyes of the most stupid
Third partyites to the delusion
they had nurturod and exposed the innate
weakness of their plot 10 deliver tho State

ties, refused 20 be used az a wedge to split

The result was the nomination of ticket

cut no real figure.
When Governor Buchanan turned traitor

beyond bis deserts in Tennessee and
Welded 20 the promptings Of a mean spirit
OF revenge upon his benefactors the Third
partytes exulted. They thought they saw

common consent charged against Buchanan.
In the hope aud with the purpose Of evin-
eng favor and votes from the outlawed
miners Buchanan declined 70 perform his
duty. He temuOrzed and sent the miners

SENATOR BRrcE D1sGRUNrLED.
10 appears that Senator Brice is some
what disgrunted. tie thinks Mr. Cleve-
land has not treated him with due Difference.
The truth is Senator Brlce has been afflicted
with @ serious case of big head for long
time. He went TO the Chicago Convention
actually thinking that he might be the
presidential nominee. Nobody else had
any such idea but the fact that he was alb
solutely alone In his exalted estimation of
himself did not strike Mr. Brics lie under
took 90 organize and lead the anti-C Cleveland
forces at Chicago, but found nobody TO
sympathiZe with him in his presidential
aspirations. lt now appears that Mr.. Brlce
thinks he has not been treated with proper
deterence by Mr.. Cleveland. During a re-
cent visit 70 Washington Senator Brlce
complained somewhat and talked about the
Cleveland people acting as II they didn't
care for campaign contributions, but
Colonel Brices grievance is not deemed
serious. He will no doubt get over 1t before
ex-senator Platt begins to shout for Harrl-
son.
