CONTRASTING SENTIMENT.

Those of us who listened to the lecture
OF Col. Balm, one of Kentucky's sons
who fought as a soldier of the Confed-
eracy in the late war, could not fail to
be impressed by his frequent allusion to
the rebellion and his loyal expression
whenever the subject was touched upon
Col. Balm very fairly represents the bet
ter heart of the native southron who
fought for his own convictions, was
bitterly defeated, but who has lived
through years of unity to see that it was
right which triumphed over wrong in
that conflict, and whose bitterness has
turned to loyal comradeship as if the
difference had never been.
Unfortunately, however, this class is
not the dominant one in the south. His,
as the highest type, is rarely heard fronsa
Grady of the Atlanta Constitution was
also representative of the same class.
and his powerful pleading for faith in
"new SOUTH undoubtedly strengthened
this better feeling. There is the tolerant
class which accepts northern innovation
and fellowship because of policy. This
class is the larger. The third comprises
the q fire eaters" men who can not for
get their defeat nor forgive the fate
which overlook them. Their feeling is
that of hate and rage, none the less Bit
ter because impotent, which viii end
only with the breath of life and the ex-
tisction of their generation.
As illustrative of this third and lower
class we append the following from an
Alabama newspaper which has evidently
the G. A. R., and his order 10 depart
ments prohibiting them from partici-
pating in parades where Confederate
colors were carried. It's a trifie warm
for cold type expression:
Who is that dirty mouthed old villain, Palmer,
who is thus abusing and calling our flag flag
of treason? is asked by many brave and true
southerners; and to answer them, we would say
we hardly know, but any dirty Republican
scoundrel who is so mean and degraded to put
himself In community of respect and society
and try to stop and weaken such beloved old
honor as the confederate flag, saying that it will
perpetuate and keep fresh in the minds of the
young men of the south the love of confederacy,
we say, he is not much in the mir DIS of true
southern people who fought during the trying
days and nights of the lost cause to protect her,
and any man who says let not the banner of the
confederacy wave, but put her down, is too low
to be an honest citizen and too dirty to be called
white.
Captain Palmer has in his possession
a huge collection of autograph letters
from just such sources as evolved the
above. A few of these letters we have
seen. Many are entirely too indecent
for publication, all reek with invective
and abuse. and all vehemently and pro-
fanely disapprove of the union. the G.
"A. r., and any feeling of loyal citizen
ship Reading them, we wonder. Is,
then. the new SOUTH of poor Grady a
fact? Well, hardly. Is there new
and more lovable feeling in the southern
states? Not to an alarming degree.
VIII there ever be? Oh, yes; when
time has grown some decades older.

Mr.. HILL AND HIS CONVENTION.

New York state held her Hill conven-
tion on Monday, and the astute politician
by that name launched his little boom
with great eclat. The protests of the
Cleveland committee of so were re-
ceived with studied courtesy, but were
tabled just the same, and so perfectly
had the affair been engineered that there
was the smoothest possible sailing for
Hill. The platform adopted is quite
fairly represented by the following para
graph:
The Democrats of New York with proud hope,
yet with perfect Difference to their brethren of
other states and cordial estimation of their re-
nowned leaders as mostly standard bearers of a
peoples cause, point to the nomination of David
B. Hill to the Office of president as fit express
sion Of the whole Democratic faith and tradition
and of settled purpose to rescue this pervert-
ed government from the clutch of autocrats and
plutocrats, from spendthrift administration,
odious taxes and debased money.
Gov. Hill in his address did duly de-
pose and affirm that "My respect for
them (the Democrats) obliges me to
submit myself to their praise as to a
grave and emphatic judgement upon me,
which it would be rude to question, un-
thankful not to be proud of and impos 81
BILE ever to forget"
Verify, a Democratic convention with
David B. Hill in the role of an unwilling
but yielding saint, is very, very funny.
New York journals are of the united
opinion that shrewd as he is, Mr.. Hill is
yet to learn something definitely before
next November.

The Burlington Independent thinks
that "Gov. Russell of Massachusetts has
TO lowed in the footsteps of Grover
Cleveland by being first mayor of his
city and then governor of his state. If
he should go into the presidency from
the governorship, the parallel would be
complete" But, alas, the prosaic Amer
lean voter will demolsh the halo which
surrounds the above thought with sDarn
the parallel, complete or otherwise; we
want a president"
