srK. SIXTH, OF NEW yERsEY.

According to the Dispatch, United
States Senator Smith. of New Jersey,
says that 1.-The Democrats OF New Jersey
are more concerned about principles than
they are about men. There Is not much
talk of candidate there, although Wit
pey is undoubtedly a great favorite I
have heard some talk about the posi-
bility of nominating Whitney with the
understanding that IL he Is elected he will
do what the majority in Congress de-
sires, even to the extent of signing q free
coinage bill l want to say that, in my
opinion. Mr.. Whitney would not accept
the nominations coupled with conditions
of any kind"
Wen! We should think not; nor should
any other candidate pledge himself to do
anything of the kind. What the Ameri-
can people want in President Is a man
VINO has the sense and nerve to do what
is right. and any man who Is willing to
enter into bargain in order to get cleo
ted Is not the man for fireplace.

CANNOT AFFORD TO DECIDE.

Judge Bergman Green, of Danville, is
out in card lin the Danville Register,
urging ali Democrats to attend the pri-
maries fer the selection OF delegates to
the Staunton Convention.
Judge Green is an advocate OF the gold
standard, but he is too good Demo-
crat 20 fall out with his fellow Demo-
Gratis, who happen to differ with him On
the monetary question.
In his card the Judge says:
I'VE should not fail to recognize that
the next national elections Involve many
other vital questions 10 the South be-
sides the question of currency; and
Southern Democrats cannot afford to di-
vide on this single issue. For myself,
While unable to agree with my Democrat
c friends on the side of silver, l feel 1t
solemn duty to stand by the party
whether for silver or gold. 1 feel assured
that this Is the plain duty of Virginia
Democracy, and therefore earnestly urge
the Democrats of Danville to turn out

result"
This is sound talk, and spoken like a
true Democrat. This IS no time for
Democrats to differ upon any single

all differences afterwards is the thing to

E'LATr ON MCKINLEY.

Boss Plat, of New York, does not
concede McKinley's nomination at ST
Louis and proposes flghtine him until
the matter IS settled by the convention,
He does not believe that Mckinley
will make good race for the Presidency
and he thinks the Republicans in their
sober second thought will discover this
before the nomination is made.
Mr.. Plat thinks one OF the damaging
things against Mckinley IS the stand he
has taken on the tariff question. and
on this line the New York boss says:
When the national convention gets
down properly to the work of choosing
candidate they are not apt TO overlook
the fact that in the four months cam
paisn that is TO follow, his pers onality
and his record will be subjected TO the
search-l!ght of hostile criticism I.
The American people have skcwn that
they do not want a radical tariff In any
direction. What they do want is a pro-
.ect!ve tariff so devised as to make up by
taxes on foreign articles that compete
win our own fjr the differences between
the price of labor here and abroad. Mr..
Mckinley represents the most radical eN-
irene View of protection. We mus;
no; only d.aw a bill that can be nut
through Republican Congress, but we
must draw one that will not be open to
serious criticism as class legisla ;ion. I
ioresee the greatest danger to the Re-
puoLcan party as the result of extreme
tariff legislation"
This means combination against the
ONO man and defeat for him in the
convention Il the "allied bosses" can
prevent it, but can they?"

And set the stars of glory there.

And az his springing steps advance
Catch war and vengeance from the glance,
And when the cannon mouthings loud
Heave in wild wreaths the battle shroud,
And tho cory sabers rise and fall

There shall thy meteor chances glow,
And covering foes shall shrink beneath

THEY SEND THE OTHER FELLOW

1T has been remarked that il was q
wise move on the part of England to
send East Indian troops to fight in the
Soudan instead of British regiments.
but this 1t not the first TIME this pro-
sramme has been adopted 1t will be
remembered that in the war of the revo-
luton between the United Colonies and
England the IIessans formed no small
pari OF the invading army. In almost
all their wars British gold has been
used to hire men to do their lighting,
and 1t should not create any wonder
THAI the East Indian troops are now
sent forward 70 the Soudan to do the
same thing. II they win, however. it
will be an English victory, and If any
territory should he acquired in the set
Element 1t will be an English conquest.
1t is true THAT the East Indians, being
occlimated to the country, are much bet

NOT PAYING FOR ALTERNATEs.

In speaking of the dealings OF the
mckinley agents with delegates elected
10 the 81. Louis Convention, an exchange
'eis a funny story from Texas. The
story runs that a Mckinley manager
was IN attendance on the recent State
Convention, in that State, to elect ma
'ional delegates. He was waited on by
three Statesmen OF color, and this is
what followed:
