A DEMOCRATIC CONVERT.

We are hardly over one surprise OF

the protective tariff principle as a
boon and a blessing to infant indus.
tries In competition with foreign en-
terprises than we are treated to an
other and greater surprise in the prac-
teal demand OF Norman E. Mack, OF
Buffalo. one OF the staid prophets OF
Democracy. for an upward revision OF
the tariff. The conversion of Saul on
the way to Tarsus is no greater than
the conviction that has come over the
spirit of Mr. Mack. 1t is important
because this same gentleman was for
i've years the chairman OF the Demo
cratic National Committee. and who
at present represents New York in
that body. This relation associates
him with the highest councils in the
party management aud gives addition
al force to a announcement of the free
trade character OF recent Democratic
legislation crystallized in the Under
wood-Simmons bill
The discovery OF Mr.. Mack's change
of heart is made through the following
excerpts from an editorial appearing
in his paper. the Buffalo Evening
Times. as follows:

terprise has almost within it's grasp an

moved to Barbour county in 1870. lie
Is son OF Cyrus Kittle. a man who
In his day was very prominent In the
anairs OF Randolph county, and later
as a Union man took prominent part
In the separation OF the State. The
elder Mr.. Kfttle was elected from the
district OF Randolph and Tucker coun.

George Nj. Kittle has been an hon
orable and respected citizen of Bar

elected and served as a justice of the
peace from 1883 to 1898; a commits
sioner in chancery for twenty years or
more; owner and editor OF the Phil
ippi Republican for IL years, and a

Ever since 1870 Mr.. Kittle has been
a tower OF Republican strength an

may be added that there is no posi-.
