C., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28,1898. NO 88 Tuesday '^and.^' Friday —AT— II WAyRl>GlC)N LJiTTEl?. I Krom our regular Correspor.dtiKL V^’ASHlKGTOlf: G , Ocfc. 21, 98. Next to boodle, Boss Hanna rates Mr, McKmle.v, as a Repub lican vote-sretter in the oresent campaig;D. Conpequenkly he has decided that Mr. MclLinlev ahal' take a sw'no; throusrh the East, in order to arouse the voters in that seefoi-. Like the ivoatern triD» the eastern trip is to be scheduled as sLriclly non-partsan, but that did not orevent Mr, AfcKinley begging support for the adminie- tration in almost every speech he madt, {:nd it will n( t prevent his doing the same thing in the east. It may be possipie, ot course, that Mr. iVtcKinley has made votes for bis p^rtv among the crowds that have turned opt to greet him on his Irip to and from Omaua, bit, judging from the eff- cl of similar trips by other Presidents it is not probable, 'i here are a number of goed reasons for crowds turning out to S03 the President, entirely aside from political cou'^idera- tions—respect for his official no- sition, admiration of his j.ersonal qualities, and last, bat by no means least, idle curiosity. That ail ol these reasons added to the Dumbtvof persons who turned out to 6 >e Mr, McKinley in the west is CP'rtain, and it is equally certain that i;hey will do the same in the east, but there is nothing in the sight to show that the whole business will enable the Republicans to carry a single Congressional district that they '.'•ould not have carried had Mr. McKinley remained in s^Ashing- ton and attending to his duties. Democratic expection of wrest ing the confeicl of ill© House away from the Republicans is not based upon vUionary hopes, bat upon figures carefully prepared to show how each Congressional district in the country will yoke on the 8;h of November. A.ccording to those figures, there are sixty one distric-s which may go either way by very email majorities, An at- ach.e of the Uemociatic Con gressional Campaign Committee who came within three of estimat- Dg the re uit cf the Congression- ' eltction of ’96, estimates that 01 ihese doubtful districts will be carried by the Republicans, and 20 by the Democrats- Should this estimate, which is ultra-con servative, turn out to be correct, the next Heuse would contain 170 Republicans ard 187 anti-Repub lican$—Democrats and Populists combined. This estimate leaves out conditions in Pennsylvania and New Yrrk which may result in sending the anti-Republican majority as high as 40, because these ccndiliot’s are contingent, and may be changed before elec tion. Becrei'Bry Alger received a hurry call from I ingree, atid has gone to Mid-'i, an to,see what be can do to save tbf Republicans of the State from ‘be defeat which Pin- gree fer rs they are going to get. The War Department issrillex tending all ihe protection it can to efftcors appointed from ciyii life, and are under snspicioa or have been proven to be ine^cient or negligence Advantage was taken of the aosence of Mr. McKinley, who field up a similar order sev ©ral weeks age, to order the hon orable discharge from the seivice of Lieut. Col. Rush Huidekoper, the horse doctor, who was chief surgeon at Camp Thomas, Chick amauga Park, and whose adminis tration of medical affairs m that camp was so openly criticized by offlcers and men. It was believed to have been Mr. McKinley’s in tention, when he prevented this man’s honorable discharge, thf t be should appear before the Podge Commissjon. Why he did noi, is probably known to Secre tary Alger and otner War Depart meet officials, if not to Mr. McKm 'ey* Capt Jamo^ CT- Blaine, the vcu' g man wlio mad such dL giactfrt) r-xhibitions of himself and his jijgs at Hono'ulu and Manila that he was ordered liome turned up in Washington this week, and he aLu)i s to be given an “honorable” disci arpe- Chap Iain Meints re, of the badesHp Oregon, must be a fReud f ss poor devil or that eourtmaU'.al seutenoi dismissing him fro a s-.-rvicfe’ would be set aside and be would get an honoiable discharge. A great big bluff is beinor put up by the adminisira'ion by tbe pretence that Judge Day is mak iag extraordinary efforts to com pel tbe Spanish Commissioners to hurry t p the’r end of the nego tiations at Parjs. It is dollais to ginger cakes that Judge Day is doing nothing of the sort. Ko matter how anxious the Spanish Commissioners should be to reach Manila, whither he went as a staff officer, because be was fonder of intoxicants than of duty, and tbe opinion has been frankly express ed by officer’s that he ought to be courfcmarbialed and dishonorably dismissed from the army in the interest of discipline. ThatbeinR the situation, it was thought that iavoritism of the rankest kind was shovvn when the War Department ordered that Captain James G* Blaiue should be honorably dis charged because there was “lo further need for his services,” aud that “Jim” would jump at tbe chance of being let down so easi ly, Not he. As soon as he ar rived in Washington, he succeed ed in having the order of the W^r Department held up until he could see Mr. McKinley and try to have it withdrawn entirely. Great as Jim’s pull undoubtedly is, it is doubttul whether Mr. McKinley an agreement on the ireaty of will consent to his remaimug in he army. Cob Ike Hill, whose long con" nection with the House ho-s made his judgment good on Ooagress- ionai politics, said : We have got the Repuolicrtns sure. Nothing short of a oiiracie can save them. Why* I believe that we will gam four Congressmen right in tbe President’s own S ate.” Colonel Hill says that Geo- Grosveuor’s recent offer to bet $10,COO that the Democrats would not gain a Con gressman in Ohio was only ablufl and that he will gladly undertake to make Gem Grosvenor a present of $1,000, if he will put up the money to back his offer. peace, they would nor be able to do so beiore the Congressional election, as it was a pari of Judge Day’s private instructions to pre vent an agreement being reaohed before that time Sho dd the Spanish Commissir^ners wish to protract the negotiations aft.r election. Judge Day may put the screws on them, but he isn’t doing so uow, for fear that the treaty might add fo the probabilities of republican defeat. * * TheRepublican bosses are hot after the Republican office hold ers in Washingion, both voters and nen-voters. The voters have all been given to understand that if they do not go home and vote they will be Llackliatedi and to remove their lai-t excuse, the Re publican Executive Commits e is offering to furniou them with transportation when they say they are unable to pay for it them selves. But this traneporlation IS not to be a gift. Every voter who avails himself of the Com mittee's offer is told that he must make a “voluntary” contribution’ within a given time to ihe Com mittee, of an amount equal to the cost cf his railroad tickec, or take the consequences. Boss Quay’s man is sending letters to Wash ington to bulldoze the Pennsylva nian office holdevB into not only going home to vote bub contribu ting $15 each to the campaign fund. In his letter asking for tbe money he tays, “unless a vigor ous and aggressive campaign is waged, we may lose three or lour districts.” Unless the reports made to ex-Representative Kerr, Secretary ot the Democratic Con gressional Campaign Committee are wrong, the Republicans will lose those Con^r^ss-onal Districts in Pennsylvania, regardles of what sorb of a campaign they wage, and they stand to lose many distriots in other States as well. It is a littlo bit puzzlia*? why i'he administration allows time to be wasted by the Peace Gemmis- sion, at Paris, in discussing 'vari ous propositions of tbe Spanish Commissioners concerning our paying or guaranteeing the pay ment of any portion ef the Span ish bonds charged against Cuba, if ii be true, as has been claimed right along, that the Arnerican Commissioners had positive in- struQtionri before they left Wash- mgton, to the effect that this Gov ernraent would under no circum stances either pay or guarantee the payment of one dollar of Span ish bonded indebtedness of any kmcli It seems as though even Spaniards could have been made to clearly understand tha.t posi tion without wasting nearly four weeks discussing it, if that really be the position of tbe adminis tration. Young'“Jim” Blaine, who by grace of pull holds a captain’s commission in the volunteer ser vice, has gall, if he has nothing else.

The Greenville Reflector asks with righteouB indignation. “Can it be true” that Bam Vance, chair man of tbe Republican executive committee of Forsyth county, and deputy clerk of the Superior Court bad said that ‘‘the reason negroes hold offices in eastera North Carolina, is because the white people there are no better ^•han negroaet ” It is true.

Tbe period embraced between 1868 and 1876 is by some regarded a-^ a paiallel po lod They differ howey: r. Our State was not redeemed from the Radi cal and Military rule that domi nated the State in the Recoostruc tion period and some years there after, until 1876 whi n Vance led us to victory and ihe Democratic pariv wa.s restored to powe-r, and for twenty years they administer ed the goveriim<»nt wUh wisdom, prudence and discretion. The contrast between the two periods is a striking ‘me. In 1870 the negroes had i’ot been i educed into subjecliob by ihe low white Republicans so completely as uow. They were inclined to de- siroy pror. erty in 1870, and some times our lives were imperilled and sometimes sacrificed.

Insolence was then unus- al, fil'd the nameless crime was unknown^ Since 1868 the negroes have made great progress, and we fear their progress has not been in the light direction^ Their education has been advanced in the schools, but their moral deyeloptnent has retrogaded.
