poets consistency from the republican

a little strange that the leaders of that

denounce a low, or revenue, tariff, and
laud, reciprocity, which is free trade un-
der another name.

IT'S publicly stated in North Caro-

movement there have been supplied
with thousands of dollars by the nation
al republican committee for the purpose
of drawing votes away from the demo-

deals and amounts paid in Alabama
and Tennessee for similar pur-
pose have been detected and eS-

of the whole, and it is Therefore by no
means improbable that something OF
the same sort may have been done in
Virginia. If 50, the men who may vote

they should geti it, and not that it should
remain in the pockets by the managers.

NOT TO BE FEARED.
The split In New York Does Not Meas
Defeat.

The outline given in our New York
dispatches OF democratic possibilities
does not purport to be authoritative,
out IL accords SO well with what Is
known OF Tammany and what the de-
mocraoy Of the country has the right
10 expect OF the national committee
that II is rather more than shrewd
guess at q way out of the New York
muddle. There Is no doubt whatever
that the Hin convention was regular"
and that the delegates then chosen were
also regular" II is equally certain
that the proposed May convention will
be technically a convention Of "bolt-
ers" and that the delegates then
chosen will have no prima faeie right
TO seats in the Chicago convention.
But 1t is also true that the protest
