Perry +. Powers. editor u the Cadii-
lac News and Express, arrived IN The
Morton last night on his way home from
the Louisville convention 1t the r~pub-
hcAn clubs- There can he no question
concerning tho Wisdom II holding the
convention" said Mr.. Powers Il t--

liable amount toward giving the republl-
can party q national victory IN ism

Il haven't seen any northern republi'
can papers since have been away. but
the southern republican papers seem. to
have a wrong conception Of the object
and purpose Of the resolutions. Many
II them conceived them 10 he IN the
nature u party platform. and. under
this MISREPRESENTATION. have vigorously
arsailed and riiiculed certain clauses.
picked up Dayton paper on the way
home and il enthusiastically lambasted
the resolution in favor at womens
suffrage. Now. this is wrong. The
resolutions were not intended Ia
form the foundation for . party plat
form. The league 10 educational In
character and each 1t the resolutions Is
a question 10 be discussed and cons,d-
cred. Nobody dreamed al putting them
| forth IA the exact embodiment OF repub-
lican principles. but every resolution
pertains 10 question of national I'M
Iortance and deserves the careful con
sideration IL every thoughtful citizen.
Mrs j. Ellen Foster made her plea IN
behalf IL womens suffrage. and II Was
an eloquent appeal. The subject Is al
importance. and nobody has any right
treat il with ridicule. 1t II something
! that every voter should weigh carefully
and then decide for himself whether he
/ fayors il or does not. The same Ii true
81 the other resolutions They are to he
| studied and thought over-not to be sc.
cepted AZ divinely inspired principles of
republicanism.
Certain republican editors have
treated Mr.. Clarkson's address rather
sayagely. but IL me il seems in many
WAYS an able production. There Ii one
point in particular which he brought
out with convincing clearneae- he was
discussing the race problem and referred
To the fact that it had become largely
party matter. The Alabama democrats
have appointed negroes To Office. North
ern democrats have elec.ed negroes
President Cleveland has appointed them
and the south not infrequently sends
negroes To the legislature To assist IN
making the laws The old bugbear al
negro domination is still used u iniiu-
ence nor,hcrners, but negro domination
in the south is an impossibiiity. Inc
southern democrats do not Tear the
negro. and they do not object Ia his
holding Office because III his color. Why
they object 10 him is because he Ii re
publican negro. II he is a democrat he 10
all right. Ii il only the republican ne
groes whom tho democrats consider
dangerous 10 the safety OF the govern
ment. II the entire colorcd race would
vote the democrat ticket there never
would bee any more negro troubles and
election outragcs. in the south. Mr..
Clarkson brought this out very clearly
and il is apparent To everybody familiar
with the race question in the south
Horses have the same diseases that
human beings have. said Samuel A.
Browne Of Kalamazoo in The Morton
yesterday. to reporter for THE HERALD.
They do" continued Mr.. Browne. and
Don j. feathers. who was sitting beside
Senator Stockbridge's genial partner
assented tn the statement. This has
been "A good winter for horses. and they
have not been troubled with malaria
The air has been very cold. but dry. and
there has been very little sickness. After
damp winter horses are troubled with
malaria the same as the rest al US

They have the grip. too. The grip ID
nothing in the world but horse dis
temper. They manifest the same
symptoms. and behave like all the rect al

common things with horses. and tho
poor animals seem Ia be affected ever
