Some of the leading newspa
pers of the country ia discuss
ing the recent gubernatOrial
contest in Alabama lose sight of
everything connected With the
canvass save the fact that VIII
liam Z Oates made the race rs
an administration candidate. and
see nothing III his domination
except an endorsement OF Mr.
y evrIand aud his adninistra-
ton. aud claim that Il il a direct
blow at free silver This view
OF the matter is all right as far
~ il goes, out il does not 90 far
enough. To our mind there Is
something more in the uOmiua
ton of Col. Oates. We see ia IL
the fitting recognition of the cf
dciency and honesty with which
he has served his people and
party, aud the just reward for
his loyalty to right and daty.
Bn: for these We do not be-
lieve that he could have bsen
nominated, opposed. as he was,
by Senator Morgan. and all the
hosts of free silver advocates.
The whole discussion partakes
too much of hero-wUrshippIng
No man has a greater sumira-
ton or higher regard for our
president than we have, but we
also honor and admire the
course of Col Oates ia daring
to do his duty as n representa-
tive. notwi,hsta rdiag the great
hue and cry raised 10y loud
mouthed populists and those so
inclined against his stand and
the course of the president on
the silver question.
Laud Mr.. Cleveland to the
skies, and keep his praises
sounding throughout the land:
but at the same time do not for
get to give Col. Oates his share
Of the glory, and the proper
credit for the part played by
him in the campaign Just closed
