So much for hitch number one. The other hitch concerned Mr. Blaine. The men w h o have fur three years dvoted their time and study to belit tling everything done by Mr. Blaine ami to showing that he was merely an humble in strument in the hands of the master statesman, Benjamin Harrison, suddenly woke up ihe other flay to the necessity of obtaining the help of Mr. Blaine in the campaign. Tlien a scheme was hatched up to et Mr. Blaine to seem to take an active part in the campaign', Whitelaw Iteid, I'at Egan and other person al friends of Mr. Blaine being utilized to persuade him into it. The first part, of the scheme is now political histo ry; Mr. Blaine was gotten to Whitelaw Keid's Muse and there made a short impromp tu Mpee"h, from carefully pre pared type-written c o p y . Having succeeded so well the schemers then decided t h at Mr. Blaine must be kept in Xew Y'ork for the remainder of the campaign, iu order that the impression might go out that he was aiding the republican national commit tee by his advice. There is where hitch number two came I in. Mr. Blaine's Washing ton residence is all ready for ii. . . i i. ip ... i me occupancy oi niuiseu ann family, and his original inten tion was to havu returned to it the middle of last week, but he has been peisuaded under one or another pretext to remain in New York. He has advised his friends iu Washington that he will be here early t his week, but Mr. Harrison's friends are deter mined to keep him iu X e w York if ii e;,:i po-i:.ly L- oldie'.

This is very im portant, as it makes possi ble, after the election ofl'Ieve land and Stevenson, animme diate revision of the tariff, as on that question the people's party Senatois will vote with the democrats, and there is little or no doubt that t h e next House will be democrat ic, by a good working major ity.

Moriah, the most cleaUd point in Jerusalem. Thetim Iters were hewn from the dars of Leban an, framed in th" mountains and furni.li-d by King Hiram of Tyre, who was himself a (irand M.iste'' Mason, ami the ston-s were shaped in the quarries, so that the Temble was built without the sound of a tool except such as were used to fit the pi-enured joints togeth er; an ! when it was comple ted il looked not like t h e work - of man. but like a jew- 'el t hat had fallen from its set t ing upon the right hand of the jj.'isy. It wa supported by 1. c(;iu:r.ns 2,1)00 pilis fer;i, aii hewn from the finest Fare in marble. In w-.sii.lirg it there were iwp'.iyed three (irand Mas- jters, tiiree thousand three jhuudivd (iverseera, or mas jters of the work, eighty thou sand Fellow Crafls r ; !er-: unwise mountain and in h e- quarry, and seventy Th:-iaiid Eiilered Apprenti Ci.'P. These were classed and arranged by the wisdom of King Solomon that neither envy, discord nor eonfnsian was suffered to disturb the peace and good felloivslip which then prevailed. This was not a laborer's union. 'I here was no war and blood shed as there remit!,? was between the servant and his lord at Carnegie's Works iu Pennsylvania, or between tin switchmen and rail-road of ficials in Xew York, or be tween the miners and buyers of convict labor at C o a 1 Creek, Tenn., but all went on almost with that symmetry, perfection and beauty with which the Supreme Architect hurls the glittering orbs on their harmonious r o u n d s t h rough t he bou nd less re; 1 1 ins of space. King Solomon him self was the (J rand Master of this glorious order to which we trace our k-ss ancient and more definite origin. It is by their example as well as that'of our more ancient brethren that we wear the lambskin or white a p r o n which is an emblem of inno cence and the badge of a ma son. It is more ancient than thedolden Fleece or Roman Engii;, and more honorable than the Star and darter or any other order that can be conferred by king, prince, po tentate or any other man ex cept he be a mason. In the time of Nuuiii Pompilious, King of Rome, a branch o f the order of Hiram appeared in Italy and formed a college of construction. Here theso ciety remained in uninterrup te d succession constructing such buildings us the beauti M R-mirarr Ftrrttm and ; h e tempi. -s of Liberty, Com-. ml. i llappifi' and Mrcy, until the fall of the Western Em pire, w Ic n it s iiiein berssprea I over all Europe. Some of tin-so s'ttl'.l in Britain win re a I angible hitory of the oi ; d -r was Kept until 1717 li"ii the brotherhood cease. to exist as a band of workmen and i esol vd itself into a no ; ciety to promote the happi , le ss of mankind. From then until now Free Masonry has ' been a beautiful system of j morality veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols. Symbol h synonymous with 'emblem, and every lady who j has ever p'ueked a blossom ikuows what emblem means. When you make an offering I of 11 iwern it is not for their Jintriusi - worth, but because j they tell the receiver in sym I bolie language, that in t h e 'lower-be.is ol i.obh r hearts than mine the roses of love arc? blooming. With uc, the trowel is a symbol of affec tion. It is used by operat ive masons to spread the ce ment that unites a building into on" common mass, but we use it for the more noble purpose of spreading the ce ment ot brotherly love; that cement which unites us into one sacred band of friends find brothers among whom no contention should ever ex is-, but only that noble emu lation of who can best work and best agree. In our books you will find the picture of a beehive. It is an emblem of mdut try ami recommends the practice of that virtue to all created beings. It is a sign to the billies thatmasonsare more like honey than any other class ol men. ( Laugh ter). I have been asked by ladies', why they were not ad mitted t j the sublime degree of a Master Mason. I will tell you. When ."Jod placed that young couple in the (Jar dea of Eden lie intended that Eve and her daughters should have an easy time, for there was no patching to be done and wash day never came. Adam never stepped on the skirt of 'lis ladle's dress and toie it off at the waist. But Eve did not appreciate the situation -she allowed her self to be deceived and Irom that day to this the whole world (myself excepted) ha ve not put confidence enough in woman to trust her with the secrets oi a Master Mason. It is wrong. Ladies, I am yourfiiend and I believe that you are entitled to every right that, man isexctpt one, and tint is to vote the third party ticket. (Laughter) You are entitled to one right timt man is not, and that is the right of protection; for "You were made of a rib from Ad am's side, not out of his head to overtop him, nor out of his feet to lie trampled upon by him, but out of his sideto be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be belov ed." You are now oursocial equals and I long to see the day when by your own ef forts and the helping hands of your stronger partners, you may Ix; our equals in other respects. I wanttogiee the time when thejaxvies can, I with impunity, dress up ami i go a uun ting. I long to 8ee jili'iii coming. (Laughter. If ia pretty girl, u sweet gill, j with dimpled checks and ro jsy lips and pearly teeth and (lashing eyes and a voice like Watauga's murmuring tide wen to come to me and say: "I love you and if yon dc not agree to be mine I will be miserable," I would be so moved by sympathy that I would immediately give rhy consent: ami if you don't Le Hiveit just try me. .(Load laugher-) The Old Snake lia Shod Hi'. S'kln. The very thin disguise is thrown off at last and Lock ey and his black 6quad have locked arms with radicalan nexWeayer gang and to gether they will try to defeat the democrats. We like to see the snake sloughing h i a skin. Xo brie of ordinary sense ever bvlieved thatrepub' Means iu the SVuth had any principles except to get and hold office. That constitutes their chief aim in life. When a X'o r t h Carolina scallawag can just swing hold of a well yielding government teat ' six or eight dollars a dny he feels so good and so big that he is ready to rub his paunch and exclaim in the et staey of hislittle soul "Who is President of the republican party, is it General Benjamin Harrison I ate of the Northern! army of invasion, or is it I?" The old radical party has nt last performedjthe Skillful act of skinning itself, and now it is joined to tile Weaver gang of ineapables, "trash and no bodies," and is ready for any thing just so it can defeat t he democrats. It is astonishing how scallawags and follow ers of that hoary old rascal Weaver hate decent whife folks. We hear that Lockylisma king very ultra speeches a -gainst the demoer cy. We heai also that Perr'ell made1' one of the extremest, savag est speeches here in denuncio! tion of the democrats and in words so vulgar that we can not put them in these col umns. Whenever white inert desert their race for the lust of office they are prone to ex treme bitterness, and savage ry in speech. They feel the degredation no doubt, and try to find consolation a sort of salvo, in fiery denuci ations and degrading com parisons. Men with vhite skins who try to evoke loud bellowings from the great gang of three or four thous-' and negroes by lo til-mouthed abuse of the White party show that they are in their' proper element with the very audience adapted to their peculiarstyle ot oratory. But the old radica Una keh't's shed . his hide. Messenger. Alleghany Star: Dr. J. 0. Wilcox, the republican candi date for Congress in the district, seems to be the flir tiest mud-Klinger in the State', He spake at Mt. Holly, Gas ton county, last Saturday night, and a corresjAMdeniv of the Charlotte Observer says deceit republicans were disgusted with him;
