Gen. Roller.

On Monday afternoon last, zen.
John E. Roller, Republican Mahonlte
from the Old State, addressed hand
full of the faithful in the Courthouse
here His audience, by actual count,
consisted of white and 10 colOred Re
publicans and about a dozen Demo
Gratis, ourself among the number. Inc
speaker announced himself a South
ern man from without to within and
from within to without and explained
his connection with the Republican
party for which he seemed to think
an apology or explanation was due), by
saving that he could not agree with
the Democrats on the tariff. We could
but recall what old General Jubal
Early once said that the Southern man
and Confederate who deserted his peo-
pie after the war was less entitled to
respect than the one who deserted
them during the war. We confess that
we cannot listen with patience to any
Southern man, who, in the midst OF
the tribulations through which the
Southern people have been called to
pass since the war, has deliberately
deserted his people and gone over to
the enemy, for that the Republican
party has been, is, and always Will be,
the enemies of the Southern people no
one can deny.
Gen. Rollers speech was a weari-
some, rambling, disconnected talk on
the tariff-full of sophistry and false
conclusion-too transparent to deceive
a child.
As he had not said directly and une-
quivocalIy whether he favored the
Force bill, we took the liberty of ask
ing him that question. He answered
that he had not read the Lodge or
Force bill, but admitted that he was
in favor of Fore bill. Here is dis
tinction without difference, for it
was perfectly clear form the tone and
tenor of his speech that he endorses
that infamous measure in every line
and letter; and what is true of Mr..
Roller is true of SO out of every 100 of
the leaders of the Republican party.
They would enact this mischievous
measure into law, though it be wholly
contrary to the spirit of our institu-
lions and direct blow at the liberties
of the people, because in it they see
the only means of stemming the rising
tide of public indignation which
threatens to sweep the Republican
party into oblivion.-Greealbrier w.

The Force Bill.

Lt.-Gov. Chauncey F. Black, of Pa.
President of the National Association
of Democratic Clubs, in his speech at
the great meeting of that Association
in New York city OH Tuesday of last
week, after discussing the tariff, said:
"The tariff question, to be largely
determined in November, is a great one;
because it involves the difference be-
tween a free people and an enslaved
people. But there is a greater-a great
er because it includes the tariff ques-
ton. Once deprived of the right of
free election, the Inhabitants of these
States would sink into absolute subjec
tion The Force bill was the product
of wicked and deliberate conspiracy
between the monopoly oligarchy and
its political servants in Congress. 1t
was devised with satanic ingenuity to
keep the parties to the conspiracy in
power in spite of the popular will, to
crowd every election precinct with
their partisan agents, and to saddle
their campaign expenses the rate
of ten to twenty millions per annum-
upon the Federal Treasury. Under
this law they might have piled tax up
on tax, grasped subsidy after subsidy,
refilled and relooted the Treasury time
and again, without fear of the verdict
of the ballot boxes, which they had
thus contrived to smother. The Force
bill,' said the principal organ of the re-
public an party, edited by it's present
can didate for Vice President, carries

for President has never wavered in sup
port of it. Re-elect him, and put at his

right of free election will be clover

The "Tribune' Picked Up.

Whitelaw Reid's paper, the Tribune,
commenting on Hackett's circular look
ing to the bribery of Democratic voters,
in it's issue of September 26, said edi-
torially:
"Mr. Hackett's circular simply asks
for the names of Democrats in certain
localities who are wavering on ques-
tions involved in the present canvass,
and who may be open to argument"
Strange to say, however, the Tribune
omitted to publish this innocent ~ cir
cular and the New York World, MOTTO
ing the omission, sent a copy of the cir
cular to the Tribune business office with
the request that it be published as an
advertisement. The gentleman in
charge of the office said that the cost OF
such publication at the usual rates
would be $50. This amount was hand
ed in together with the circular, with
the understanding that the latter
should appear as an advertisement. 1t
did not appear, and when the Wortd'S
representative went to inquire about
it, the money and the circular were
handed back to him without any ex-
PLANTATION whatever. And yet the 1ri-
6ata1e had just told its readers editorial
ly that the circular simply asked for
names of Democrats who might be
''open to argumentP'
Here was the rub. The Tribune had
reference to one kind of argument,
while the circular contemplated anoth-
er and quite different kind of argu-
ment, as will be plainly seen the fol
lowing extract from it:
''It is the desire of the New York
State Republican Committee to be per-
mitted to request you to do some
particular service for the Republican
cause from time to time during the
canvass. Satch serUice aCiW call for the
exercise of discretion and the ability to
keep a secret. Are you willing to I'M
dertake such duty to help secure Re
publican success ? If you are willing
to do SO, send me the name of G Demo-
crat among yoar GcQuddntaqaces aohom
you 6elie0e can be induced to cote the
Republican ticket this fall"
This suggestive paragraph fully ex-
plains the ITibat11e'S refusal to print
the circular, even as an advertisement;
but this very refusal is a confession of
the true character of the precious
document. The enterprising World
has proved it's case against Mr.. Hackett
by the clever manner in which it
''picked up" Mr.. Reid's organ.-Ly1ach-

A Denial of Gen. Fields Statement.

Mr.. j. W. Rodes, of this city, who
was one of General Lees couriers, saws
he can procure the affidavits of thirty
men in this county to prove the falsity
of the General Fields insinuation that
General Lee either encouraged or allow
ed and depreciation to be committed bv
his soldiers while in Pennsylvania. His
orders were rigidly enforced and all
damage to private property was punish
ed whenever reported. 80 particular
was he," said Mr.. Rodes, that on one
occasion while passing through Penn
sylvania General Lee came upon sew
eral of his soldiers, among them GER
tain officers, who were in cherry trees,
satisfying their hunger. General Lee
stopped, and calling courier. sent to
the owner of the cherries to ask per-
mission before he would touch one of
them. The lady of the house not only
consented but on hearing that General
Lee had made the request, sent waiter
of Strawberries to the Confederate
chieftain, and went in person to extend
the permission asked. Any statement
that carries the idea that General Lees
conduct in Pennsylvania was other
than honorable is the basest kind of
falsehood. n-CharIOttesoi{Ie Dolly Pro

Cleveland will be Elected.

In his letter in the New York Herald,
after speaking of the magnificent
Democratic majority in the election in
Georgia last week, Clark Howell, of the
Atlanta Constitution, says
''Mr. Cleveland will be elected in n O.
vember by probably the greatest ma
jority ever received by any Presiden-
tial candidate since 1880. The people
have written their opinion and the YER
dict is sealed.
They will deliver it in November and
in the meantime the heart Of the poll
tician, the corruption of the boodler
and the fragrant use of federal power
for partisan ascendency cannot change

Judge GreSham'S announcement that
he will support Cleveland in his repud-
iation of the monopolistic and centrali-
cation tendency of the republican par
ty is the utterance of the conviction of
of hundreds of thousands of republi-
cans who will this year for the first
time vote the democratic ticket.
The campaign is to be decided on the
economic issues involved. The people
have been listening to the gospel of
sectionalism SO long while their pockets
were being picked that they have con-
cluded that it is time to think for them
selves while they keep their hands on
their purses.
Wayne McVeagh, member of Gar
fields Cabinet, joins the long list of
distinguished republican officials who
are brought face to face with the fact
that the day of the republican party is
over. This list increases day by day,
and scarcely a week passes that sever
al heretofore prominent and disting-
uished republicans do not add their
names to the roll of honor being form
ed by those who in their declarations
write their manhood in refusing to fol-
low the republican party to the I'M
American and dangerously alarming
feast to which they are invited by the
republican platform, and more especi-
ally by the attitude of the party as be-
spoken in the acts of it's representa-
tives, who, in administering the affairs
of the government, prefer to be con-
trolled as partisans rather than as ser
wants of the people.
The people will have no more of it,
and they will deliver the proclamation
on the subject next month"
