The NEWS TURN NOW

But IL the News thinks OF. pretends to
think that the bloody shirt" IL q merely
sectional issue IL Is mistaken. 1t u, or
rather 1t was, n partisan cry, and one
which was continued long enough to do
injustice TO thousands Of our citizens. No
ing the franchise, or would undertake to
deny TO the colored man equal suffrage
and equal and untrammeled opportuni-
ties for the exercise OF those rights
Woonsocket Call.
If all were as fairminded as the Call
there would be no bloody shirt issue,
sectional or partisan. But Southern
Democrats do claim that it was unwise
to enfranchise the blacks precisely

Far happier to-day is the man who can
lie in a hammock and count the fieecy
clouds in the June sky than he who sits
in the dark and hot lobbies OF Chicago
hotels and tries to count the noses of elu-
sive delegates. And, on the whole, the
former will be engaged In quite as profit
able an occupation. n.-JournaL
True. The man who essays to count
those noses at Chicago-those burning,
effulgent, scintillant and coruscating
beaks-will need eyewater after. It's a
sight bad for sore eyes.

AS for the railroads the Journal is
right, quite right.

It is amusing, as well as significant. to

socket Reporter.
They can't vote over there, but If they
really want to help the Democrats out,

lating by interview, Minneapolis does not
wish any more national political conven-
tions nor do the delegates and attendant
crowds at the Republican convention last
week care for any more Minneapolis hos
pitality.-Pawtuxet Valley Cleaner.
Don't know how Minneapolis feels
about it, but the guests have every rea-
son to be satisfied.
Mr.. Cleveland appears to be the logical
candidate for the Democratic party. He
was beaten at the last election and has
grown no stronger since that time.-New-

Yet he is the strongest man, in all the
