Defense OF BURKE COCHRAN.
As TO His Reported Language Toward
the Southern People.

From Richmond Times. 2lst August)
Z has been generally understood that an
enort would be made to get Hon. w
Bourke Cochran to speak in Richmond in
behalf of pure and unadulterated Democ-
racy rather than the Populism that the
Chicago Convention attempted to foist
upon tie country as the now Democracy
ana the Dispatch naturally. therefore
seiZes upon any favorable pretext to
arouse prejudice in the minds of our people
against him, hoping thereby TO discount
the effect that his speech will have upon
Democratic minds.
1t has to this end taken up one express
sion In the speech he made last Tuesday
night at Madison Square Garden. and il
seeks TO create the impression here, by
elaborate remarks upon that expression
that Mr.. Cochran is inimical to the people
OF the South. and disposed to sneer at
ern people.
Those who know Mr.. Cochran and have
been thrown into contact with him in
pubic life, know that his mind and heart
have no such tendency whatever They
know that he Is a radical and essential
Democrat, and that he has the highest
admiration for the loyalty and courage
OF Southern character. He fairly wor-
ships the memory OF the great Southern
men who have made the name of the
south stand, until recent years, as a
synonym for all that Is lofty, noble, and
heroic IN life. But he abhors the Tilimans
OF the South. and he regards those South
ern men who are willing to follow Tillma n

The Chicago Chronicle, boiling Dem
ocratic newspaper. appears to be dis
gruntled by remark made by ex-
President Harrison in his New York
speech last week. which was this:
"TEe Sc Democratic friends who are
disposed more or less directly to help
the cause OF sound finance in this
campaign ought not to expect that
the Republican party will reorganize
Itself because the Democratic party
ha sdisorganized itself"
The Chronicle declares that this Is at
once sneer and threat"
1T means" II says. that the
Democratic party Is no longer a no

IN BAD SHAPE.

The Buffalo IN. " Times makes the
point that the Republican party is in
peculiarly bad shape to be a blender of
sections. and Is led to the remark, as by
way of criticism, upon the anti-section-
al utterances of Major Mckinley in his
letter of acceptance.
The Democracy" says the Times.
is the only party that can weld to-
gether the different sections OF the
country because It Is the party alone
having the power to secure the cleo
torate OF the States I'm every part OF
the United States. Mckinley knows
full well that he cannot have the vote
OF any state in the Union south OF
Pennsylvania, and south of the Ohio
river. This fact makes him a sec
tional candidate as fully as Harrison,
who received not one of those States.
The Democracy never failed to carry
Northern as we'll as Southern States"
Major Mckinley says that sectionallsm
is dead. but this wont do. He voted for
the force bill once and there is no doubt
that he would approve another like bill
If 1t came to him. The people, certainly
those OF the South. have no faith i'm such
utterances and therefore will have none
of him.

MORE pRoUnLE FOR SPAIN.

The Madrid government Is reported
by Commercial Gable dispatch to be
very greatly exercised over the news
that an Instruction has broken out in
the philippines. and although Spain
has three thousand of her own troops
end something like fifteen thousand ma
tive auxiliaries on the islands. it may
be necessary to send rcinforcements. as
the Governor General thinks they may
be needd. An instruction in the Phillip
pines comes very inopportune just now
for Spain. when all the troops she can
spare seem to be needed in Cuba Should
this latter instruction assume such
proportions as is feared in Madrid, 1t
will hasten the freedom of Cuba.

"a pLOTTO CARRY FLORIDA"

Secretary Carlisle denies the report
that the government deposits were or
dered removed from the National Bank
of Florida, al Jacksonville, to the First
National Bank of Tampa. because the
President of the first named institu-
ton. John II. Stockton, is a silver man.
The New York Journal. however, brings
the charge. and adds that the removal of
the deposits is part and parcel of a
conspiracy to throw the State to Nc
kinley. The Journal asserts that the
Principals in the scheme to de-
feat the election OF Bryan electors
IN Florida are Henry NJ. Flagler, the
STANDARD OIL magnate, heavy
owner of Florida real estate, hotels
and railroads. and Henry r. Plant.
head of the Southern Express Com
pany, owner of the Plant line of
steamers and head of the Plant rail-
way system.
These two men," says our con-
temporary, control Florida's repre-
resentatives In Congress. Cooper is
an attorney for Flagler, and Spark
man Is an attorney for Plant. To-
gether with the numerous Federal
officials in Florida. they have been
working to secure the defeat Of Sem
ator Call In order that gold senator
may be elected"
These charges are startling if true
and only goes to show to what desperate
straights the Republicans are driven.
