Hon. H G MsCabe, of Vicka- |
burg, was in the city today on pro-
fessional business. and visited the, i
Clarion-Ledger Office in answer toI
. request for an interview. !
The reporter opened the confer
ence With: q
"Mr. NcCabe, I see it stated in
the newspapers that you will prob
ably be 4 candidate for the nomi-
nation for Governor. Is it true
that you will run?" asked the re-
porter.

it for some time,h said Mr.. Nc
Cabe, "and encouraged by the good
opinion of my friends, l have de-
cided to allow the use of my name
in that connection and to make
canvass before the people. | have
reached this decision with q pro.

Democratic party of first impor-
tance TO our people, and all divis-
ions upon questions which are not
a test of party loyalty, and not af-
fecting State policy, should be
avoided in the canvass for State
officers. The real contest for Gov
crnor will be among Democrats,
who will be alike subject to the
party platform when adopted. Of
course, there is room for differ
ences of opinion on many .qucs-
tions, and while I have no desire
to evade any material issue, or to
mystify my position on the sub
jects of difference, and will treat
them candidly, should they enter

tissues in political sense can
hardly arise in connection with a
proper administration Of State af-
fairs. But there are some matters
relating to our condition which de-
serve our thoughtful considera-
ton"
"Will you kindly give the Clart
ion-Ledser in detail, an idea o :
what matters you allude to?"
Certainly" replied Mr.. Nc
Cabe. 81 would first mention the
importance Of a prompt enforce
ment of the law, that crime may
be less prevalent and good order
maintained in our communities.
This is the first step towards any
material improvement in our con-
dition. Unless the humblest can
feel safe in the protection of the
law, all other efforts for our better
ment will not avail. Whatever is
necessary to render the courts more
efficient should be done.
"But the machinery of our
courts, isr NOT, alone, sufficient. A
healthy law abiding sentiment
must be cultivated, and the sacred.
ness of human life must betaught;
and the agencies of the pulpit, the
press and the school should be
urged to persist in patience with
the task. Sucsess will come. The
struggle of humanity everywhere
is towards a higher civilization,
and ourpeopIe can be relied upor
to keep pace with the progress o
the age.
