SENATOR MORGAN'S PATRIOTIC
POSITION.

Senator Morgan has for many years
been the foremost advocate of an
isthmian canal. He has done more to
educate the American people to the i'm
portance of constructing the canal than
any man in America. and he has never
given up the fight after many defeats.
His faith and courage in the contest have
at length been rewarded, and it seems
the hour of his victory is at hand. But,
like most victories that men win, he
was doomed to Disappointment in the
manner of the passage of the bill. He
had his heart set upon the Nicaragua
route, and made a great speech in favor
of that route, pointing out it's superior
ity, from his standpoint. But the ma
jority of the Senate decreed that the
Panama route should be chosen if the
title could be obtained. Thereupon SEN
ator Morgan, after expressing his regret
that the Nicaragua route was not chosen,
sent this telegram to a newspaper:
other time since l began the fight for
an Isthmian canal. The action of the
Senate this Afternoon means that a canal
will be constructed. 1 wanted it con-
structed by the Nicaragua route, because
think that route the better. If it could
not be by Nicaragua, however, l gladly
accept the Panama.
'"The great consideration is canal.
The question of route is secondary. The
people demand a canal. | think they
would have preferred the Nicaragua
route, but 1 feel satisfied they will be
glad to have the Panama"
1t has been widely heralded that SEN
ator Morgan was so welded to the
Nicaraguan canal that he would prefer
no canal to seeing any other route
chosen The above expression from him
shows that such report does him injus-
tice. He has risen to the duty of the
hcur-he sees that 1.-The great considera-
ton is canal''-and rejoices in the great
victory he has won, even though it
comes in a form unexpected by him. AS
long as Coils P. Huntington, the prince
of LOBBYISTS, lived, Mr.. Morgan could
not get vote for any sort
of canal, for Huntington was
able to do what no other owned OF
rains-continental railroads can now
do--prevent action on the canal PROPOSE
ton. The New York Journal still fears
that there is a Trojan horse in the canal
hill and that trans continental railroads
can defeat the necessary title. 1t is to
be hoped that the Journals fears are
not we'll founded and that the canal Will
be speedily built. 1t will be the great
work of the new century.

along when sacrificial nomination was
lin issue he was prompt, even vociferous,
in his refusal to consider it. In a word,
he was a receptive candidate for a
fourth nomination. he thought the fac
tional troubles in the party would bring
this about.
ct seems kind of irony that it should
be Tilden Club to welcome Mr.. Cleve-
lands baleful re-entry TO political activ-
tiles. Mr.. Tilden died with words of
scorn and contempt upon his lips for
Grover Cleveland. He understood per-
fectly the coarse texture of Mr.. Cleve-
lands physical and mental makeup,
his obtuse selfshness; his ignorant OBJ
stinacy; his vulgar self assertion; his
indefatigable duplicity.
THAT Mr.. Cleveland should put him
self forward as a conjecturable party
leader is a proof of a self confidence
which would be sublime if it were not
sinister, because leadership with him
means office and nothing but office From
the day he was one and twenty till now,
he has been an office seeker. He never
drew disinterested respiration in all
his life.

WATTERSON ON CLEVELAND.

Mr.. Cleveland missed the opportunity
of his life in his speech at the Tilden
Club If he had omitted his offensive
reference and for once in his life forgot
ten to laud himself, he might have
sounded a note that would have caused
all Democrats in every section of the
Republic to rejoice But he could not
resist the temptation to put halo on
his own head and slur at the faithful
Democrats who sought to repair the
damage he wrought to the party in
1887. The press has had much to say
about his speech, but the most caustic
and vigorous article is from the pen of
Hon. Henry Watterson. in the Louis
Vile Courier Journal under the head
ing. "a Deaths Head at the Feast" and
is as follows:
''The Democratic party is not so rich
either in leadership or in position of
stragctic advantage that it can afford to
reject good counsels from any quarter,
but surely it has the right to draw the
line on Grover Cleveland.
ITO Mr.. Clevelands insufficiency, to
use no harsher terms, it owes its undoing
The claim that he is the one man who
has led it to a national victory in forty
years falls to the ground when it is re-
called that in 1884 he won the election
by a doubtful margin in the State of
New York, which he had carried the
year before by a majority of nearly two
hundred thousand; that in 1888 he lost
the election through his fatuous vanity
and self confidence, and that in 1892, the
Homestead riots, which transferred the
vote of the labor unions bodily from the
Republicans to the Democrats, made the
defeat of the Democratic ticket impos-
sible.
Chose who know him will not deny
to Mr.. Cleveland a personality all his
own. He is a man of great force of will
and dominancy of character Demo
Gratis have a superstition in favor of
what is called "Jacksonian firmness"
Courage. indeed, is a popular attribute
with all classes of the people. Mr..
Cleveland has gained largely in popular
sturdiness and integrity which his pane
gyrists have assiduously cultivated.
Neither his honesty nor his nardihood
need be gainsaid in order to prove his
deficiency as a party leader, though
both have been most violently assaulted.
ut is enough to declare that he found
the party what Mr.. Tilden had made
it, moral unit; a great, compact body
of fighting men; and that, having twice
betrayed tive will not say consciously
betrayed it-for his own selfish ends, he
left it. leaderless and divided, to the
mercy of the winds and waves of fac
tionalism, called into being by his own
lack of generosity and foresight.
Even down to the Chicago Convention
of 1896 Mr.. Cleveland stood in the mid
die of the road blocking the way alike
of friend and foe who might desire, or
seek, the nomination of that convention.
He could not be induced to effaee him

Politics and Politicians.

The Lumberton Robesonan of yester-
day says: Reports from our good old
sister county of Cumberland are crafty
ing. The crops are good, and there are
better prospects for harmony and good
feeling in politics than in years. For
the first time in a number of years it
looks as if the people are, of their own
motion, going to return one of their
members to the the Legislature The
latter is indeed a good sign, for the
county has from time to time sent up a
number of good men, and, if instead of
local strife and abuse and change of her
members she had given them more recog-
milton. their field of influence in State
legislation would have been much more
extended.
A correspondent writing to the Win
ston Republican from Concord says: Mr..
Geo. w. Means, ex-mayor of Concord
and gold Democrat, told Spencer Black
burn that he would hereafter support the
