Ex-Mayor Hewitt of New York,
spoke rather harshly Of the Southern
Statesmen at the banquet of the
Southern Society, which took place
in New York on the eveaing of the
22nd. inst. Among other things he
SAID:
"The representatives Of the South
III Washington are the un6ttest that
the South could send But
/ sometimes think that perhaps
what We have gained has been the
loss of the section from which you
came, for comparing the men whom
we see III public life representing
the south to-day with the race of
giants who, from the foundation of
the government to the breaking out
of the war, represented the southern
portion of this union in the senate
and in the house comparing these
giants with the representatives who
now sit there, and applying the
gauge of craftsmanship, which is
only to be derived from the study
OF history, am compelled to say
that some great change has come
over the south, either in the loss of
its best men, or in the diversion of
its best men to other pursuits be-
rides those of craftsmanship. The
representatives Who sit IN Congress
from the South are not up to the
standard, either Of the great men
who formally sat there, or the de-
mands of the sltuation."
Asa matter Of course, the Southern
Representatives, are indignant. and
we await with interest their answer
to Mr.. Hewitt of New York.

sCounifl Charley Boatner's

him from the list Of gnbernatorial
| possibilities, aud Your Uncle Newt

fIberviile South.
We are unable to conceive Of any
valid reason, Why the votes Of
j Messrs. Boatner and Blanchard on
the tariff biIl-cast as we believe
conscientiously and with a commen-
dable observance Of their obiiga-
lions to the hehests Of the Chicago
platform-should affect iniuriously
their future political prospects.
While it is mere rumor that Mr.
Boatner has aspirations in the.
direction of the executive mansion,
it is well known fact that Mr..
blanchard is a candidate for Sena-
torial bonors. But concedlng the
tact of Mr.. Boatner's candidacy, it.
is laudable ambition, to either of
which positions they are both emf
nently qualified in every essential
requisite and should not be barred
or politically ostracized. simply be-
cause they voted with Democrats in
favor of Democratic measure,
while their colleagues, who are not
denounced, but on the contrary,
receive the commentator of .he
press of the sugar section of the
State, voted with Republicans IN
their attempt to defeat the same
Democratic measure, because it
antagonized single industry of the /
State, which was no more entitled
to protection in the first instance,
than cotton, corn or any other agri-
cultural product of the soil. Alex

New York DAILY MERCURY: A re-
publican friend reminds the Mercury
that Harrison reduced the public
debt over $2il.0o0,o0 during his
four years term as president.
There is nothing new to the Mercury
in this. Neither is there anything
untrue in the statement that Har-
rison paid of the amount Of indebt-
cdncss mentioned with money left in
the treasury by Cleveland at the end
Of four years OF economical admins
tration. IL j. also an old story, but
one which will bear repeating. that
in paving of the amount Of debt he
did. Harrison anticipated the matur-
ity Of government bonds. and paid to
the holders of the same not far from
SIS. 900. 900 in premiums. We should
say that, from a republican stand
point. the less said about Mr.. Har-
rison's reduction Of the public debt.

Hard Times for shelby.

Chicago Post.
One most noticeable feature OF the
meeting of the republican central
committee was the inactivity of Gull
lom stock. The reports of country
members indicated that Cullom has
steadily lost strength. A few weeks
ago his supporters pretended that he
would meet the Medill phalanx from
Cook with a solid front Of rural dis
tricts. Today they are fighting for
a mere foothold in districts that
were marked rs Cullom strongholds.
The situation promises well for Mr..
Medill. IL that gentleman will merely
announce his candidacy. But even
IL Mr.. Mcdill refuses to run. the way
is not by any means clear for Gull
lom. Mr.. Mason said not long ago
that no matter who else was nomin-
ated Cullom stood no show. Mr..
Mason's friends assert that he has
the promise of more than As votes
outside of Cock. and that il ne
should get the support Of this county
he could win without an effort. He
has made tremendous canvass up
and down the state.
Mason would not be an ideal SEN
ator. hut as between him and the
Sangamon county candidate no Chi
cago assemblyman could afford to
hesitate in choosing. A Cook county
senator must be elected.
