NOBODY has yet claimed to have
heard Senator Hill say he would accept
a nomination for president. In spite
of this uncertainty every time a ballot
is taken in the Southern states, he
leads. The Washington dispatches
say that it is conceded that if he does
not have the New York delegation
solid he will lose only two votes. New
York papers say that Dan Lockwood,
who has nominated Cleveland for every
Office he has ever held, will place Hill
in nomination if he will allow the use
of his name. The senator seems to
be pretty solid at home and abroad. for
a man with no more character than
the mugwump papers credit him wi tn.

A BIT OF HISTORY.

The Courier-Journal takes the Gal
weston News to task for its derision of
the statement that Mr.. German was
sent by President Cleveland to the
national convention in 1883, with plat
form which ignored both the presi-
dents message to congress and the
Mills bill. The CD. reasserts:
Whenever the occasion has seemed to
require it, and for purposes of illustration,
not of criticism, the Courier-Journa has
stated the fact that Mr.. German of Mary
land was Mr.. Cleveland's immediate, per-
sonal representative in the national Demo
cratic convention, which assembled at st.
Louis in 1885, There neither is, nor has
been, anything new, strange or startling
in this. Mr.. German was the chief
aud the ablest of MIR. Cleveland's campaign
managers in 1854 Naturally, Mr.. Cleve-
land trusted him. Consequently, he was
dispatched by Mr.. Cleveland to the national
convention of 1888 with q platform pre-
pared in advance, which ignored the presi-
dents message of 1887 and the Mills bill,
and reiterated the compromise tariff plank
agreed upon at Chicago in 1854.
The platform committee Of the st. Louis
convention, conceiving the message and the
Mills bill TO embody the real issues of the
time, amended the platform submitted by
Mr.. Cleveland through Mr.. German, so as
to include specific Endorsement OF the
message as "a correct Interpretation" of
the platform Of 1884, and, in addition, a
distinct approval Of the Mills bill
These are simple facts. We give them;
we do not construe them.
The difference between our Kentucky
and our Galveston-BaIlas contemporary
is that the hobby Of one is principle,
a Democratic principle, and the hobby
of the other is man, man who in
spires visions of a foreign mission.
This is why it is that the Courier
Journal says OF Mr.. German and his
present tariff ideas:
Mr. German has the right to claim eonsid-
Grafton for his opinions. having been in
very good company AZ St. Louis in 1883,
that is TO say. having been in company with
the late William l. Scott of Pennsylvania,
Mir. Cleveiand's personal Representative.
Let US have no more gable about tariff
factions. There are no longer any 10 the
Democratic party. We are all tariff reform

WHY is it that the sum Of the tariffs
on iron from Birmingham, Ala, to
Cincinnati, and on its manufactured
product from Cincinnati to Abilene,
Tex, is SO cents per 100, while if it is
shipped from Birmingham to Fort
Worth, manufactured here and shipped
to Abilene. the total cost of transporta-
ton is ST. 90 per 100? The first haul is
nearly 1000 miles further than the
second, yet the railroads charge nearly
% per cent more for the shorter haul
than for the longer one. Commissioner
Foster directs attention to this discrim-
ination against Texas industries. Can
any railroad man give satisfactory
explanation of it?
