A SoUTHRoN FOR PRESIDENT.
THE WASHINGTON POST IN FAVOR
Of COMING TO DIXIE.

The Attitude of the National Demo-
cratic Party and the Acauiescence
OF the south Difficult to Undcr-
-tand-Fhe Time Ripe 90 Put an
Fad to the Existing state of At

Iodorse the Sentiment.
Washington. April 4.-The Post this
morning. under the caption: "A Southern
Democrat for 1885," publishes column
editorial in which II asks. ''why should
not the democrats nominate a southern
man next year? Why would not that be
tho right thing to do-the courageous. tho
consistent the equitable thing? Why,
Indeed"
The Post says It Is diflcult TO under.
stand the attitude OF the national party.
and the acquiescence Of the south in re-
gard to the presidency. Possibly It is
habit For two decades. at least, southern
democrats have agreed to the proposition
set up by their northern colleagues that
the country is not ready for a candidate
from the section lately I'm rebellion against
the general government. For two de-
cades and more It has been an accepted
theory that a southern candidate would
alarm the American people. would revive
all the memories, the apprehensions. and
the antagonisms Of 1S6i-65. ana during all
that time. the southern democracy have
assented without protest, subordinated
themselves to the mere phantom OF a van
ished past. meekly borne the heat and
burden Of successive campaigns. fur
nished the rank and file for all the great
battles. and stood aside IN humble defer
enee and uncOmplaining abnegation while
the fruits of their strength and powers
were divided among the members of an In
significant contingent. But why? At
most, this was only an expedient. II was

and propriety."

DEMOCRATS OF ILLINOIS.
The Party'S Views on the silver cues
tiOn to BE Ascertafned.


Springfield. H., April 4-The democratic
state committee held an important meet
ing this morning. There was a full at
tendance. The object was to discuss the
calling OF a state delegate convention to
fix the currency views Of the Illinois
democracy for the next campaign. The
sentiment was nearly unanimous in favor
of the convention. 1t was decided TO call
one to meet in Springfield on June 10.
Each county committee is instructed to
call a convention for an expression Of
views and sending delegates to the state
convention. The basis OF representation
is one delegate for every 800 votes cast
Tor Ciaggett for state treasurer. The
democrats are urged to turn out to the
county conventions and to give free eX-
preston to their views so that there may
be no doubt as to the position of the party.
The vote was II ayes to noes Mayor
Hopkins of Chicago favored a delay of
twenty days and left for Chicago before
the vote was taken.
Chairman Hienrichsen of the state com
mittee gives out an interview on the sub
Ject, asserting that there is no question
that the Illinois democracy is almost
unitedly for free silver and he believes
that the convention will so declare. He ex-
poets tremendous outpOuring of demo-
Gratis to the state convention. He declared
to the United Press correspondent that he
has had considerable trouble holding coun-
ty committees back from expressions in IA
vor of white metal, and that the sentiment
of the democracy of the state is so over
whelmingly in favor of some early and
emphatic action that the state committee
could not do less than call the convention.

der, as they ordinarily handle but little
of the imported product.
The dealers who will suffer the most
are importers and small jobbers and the
firms who trade in Scotch yellows"
brands.
The latter brands, which are imported.
undersell the lower domestic grades and
are used largely by confec toner's. 1t Is
stated that about 60000 bags of Scotch
yellows are imported annually
