says
I'VE have made no formal statement

upon which alone a correct judgment
could be formed were not at hand.
Our efforts during the past three
months have been devoted to harmon:
izing of the party iu the states hitherto
considered doubtful by reason OF for
mer dissensions That work is now
finished. and it is possible for the first
tine to reach a conclusion based upon
a systematic canvass. which can never
be satisfactorily made until after or
ganizatiou is completed and the cam
paign has well progressed.
Our canvass shows that we shall
certainly carry by good majorities the
states of New York New Jersey, Con
necticut. Maryland. Delaware, West
Virginia and Indiana and that in ad-
dition to these electoral votes We shall
have the majority. If not all, Of the
electoral votes of the Rocky Mountain

cate an unmistakable Republican de.

MR.. CLEyELANp,S SPEECH

The claim of Mr.. Clevelaud's adj
mirers, that he is the foremost Amer
lean citizsn OF the day, is not with
out Justification, and, therefore, when
he speaks it is as one with authority.
He is neither an alarmist nor is he
given to sensation, and his honesty
and conservatism are known OF all
men. His speech in Carnegie Hall on
Friday evening is a severe arraign-
msnt OF the present administration
ID of the present policies oil She Re
publican party. For the reasons as
signed above he cannot be charged
with INDUCING in sensational pohtl-
ell bumcOmb when he declares that

than ever. the enforcement OF Demo
cratic doctrine and the acceptance oi
Democratic conservatism and stead
mess are needed, il our national
greatness and the well-being of our
people are 20 be put beyond ieop-
ardy." Grover Cleveland has proven
himself to be courageous enough and
independent enough TO disagree With
the Democratic party and so give
forceful expression of his opinions.
when the party departed, as he be
lieved, from its former principles OF
safe government. He has stood
pat" on his opinions, while his party
went astray, and returned again 10
she principles for which he has always
stood. No man is, therefore, in view
OF the personal vindication Mr..
Cleveland's course has received, more
competent to point to the shoals and
rocks upon which the great Ship OF
State is likely to be wrecked than he.
Therefore his warning against retain
ing the Republican party in power,
especially under It's present leader
ship, will be heard throughout she
land, and his appeal for support for
the Democratic ticket and Demo-
cratic principles will find a responsive
echo in the breast of every man who
places the country's welfare above
party veal.
I'VE pledge 80, our countrymen
through our platform, rest, gen
uine prosperity, safety, and a
return to the way marked out
by the Constitution and we
we promise, through our candidates,
that, il it is the peoples will, our plat

THE NEGRO QUESTION.

The following editorial comment
from the Chicago Tribune so nearly
expresses our ideas a. TO the impOr-
tance OF the people at the South
learning more OF each other, so that
the problems and perplexities and
difficulties and ambitions of one sec
ton of our common country can and
will be shared and solved by the con-
bined wisdom OF all, that we publish
it with our unqualified endorsement.
There are some NOrtherners who know
more about Germany and Italy, aud
perhaps about 1.-THE romantic aud pic
turesque Balkan peninsula than they
do about Georgia, and South Carolina,
and Texas. Consequently they show
more sense when they are talking about
lese majestic, or about the temporal pow
or OF the Pope, or about Turkish Oppres-
sion, than they do when thsy are talking
about the right of the negro to vote.
1t is so easy to think that just because
you live in a country you must under
L.
erner are iello W. citizens. They owe allie
glance to the same flag. Therefore, the
Northerner is perfectly competent to tell
the Southerner how to settle the negro
question.
The iallacy in this logic is that because
of the presence of the negro the social
condition OF Charleston, 5. G., differs
from that of Boston, Mass, more than
that OF Boston, Mass, differs from that
OF London, England. And citizen OF
Boston gets on better in London than he
does in Charleston.
The negro question isgreater than any
other question in America And tits not
only greater, but more delicate. 1t is q
matter OF social, as well as OF political
and industrial life So, more than almost
any other question that could be imsg
ined, it needs personal experience. The
occasional negro Of the North is not an
adequate basis for studying the negro of
the South In the South the negro in
many communities Outnumbers the
white, and there is possibility OF negro
rule.
Therefore, Northerner, il you have time
and money TO visit new scenes, visit the
South Some OF your fellows have gone
. to the South and have lived there for a
few years. They don't feel now quite as
you do. See il you can find out what it
was that modified their opinions.
Go South and watch the descendants
of Washington, Madison, Jefferson, Mar
shall, jackson, Clay, Calhoun, Polk, and
Lee while they, bone.of our bone and
flesh OF our flesh, are working out, with
errors OF mind and with errors Of heart,
but with American pluck and hope, the
greatest domestic problem that ever ate
Into the heart OF a civilized people. Then
come back, and il you still think that
they are wrong you will say so in diff
ferent tone.
The descendants OF Washington
and Jefferson and Lee will meet the
problems which confront them hon
estly and iearlessly, and in time will
reach r'ght solution Of them, but
they ask and desire the cooperation
and sympathy of their brethren at
the North, and not the opposition
and criticism which arises from ignO-
rance OF conditions existing here.
