THE so called "Cleveland demo
Gratis" of Maryland should inwardly di
gest the following wise words of Sena
tor Lindsay, of Kentucky. If ne had
his way, the Senator would not have
selected Mr.. Blackburn for Senator,
nor Mr.. Harden for Governor of his
State, but he is a democrat, and he
therefore says:
81 don't think we ought to turn over
the State to that party of which we
have been saying for twenty-eight
years that we could not safely trust it
with our affairs, just because We hap
pen to be disappointed or because our
candidate does not agree with US on
one point, although be may agree with
us on ninety-nine others, by voting for
party which agrees with US on one
point and disagrees with US on the
other ninety-nine."

wrapped U. S. flag around him, and
set him on top of that bell. The lack

the Northern visitors, enjoying the hos
pitality of their hosts, didn't even rec

ciyility prevails, guests never do any

els. Everybody in the South is per-
fectly willing to allow the negroes the
full exercise of all their acquired priv
ileges. immunities and rights, and
hopes they will avail themselves of all
their opportunities to better their con-
dition. But for all this, the Reyolu
tionary war was not fought for the
freedom of the negroes, and to attempt
to teach them that it was, by such q
conspicuous act as that referred to, ano
that, too, in Southern city. was an
other apt example of the truth that
