can state on high, authority
that the action of the admin

Whenever a man who is or
has been prominent becomes
ill or dies the country is at
'7K?6nce flooded with mibstate-
. men ts concerning his lite. The
' case Df ex-Senator Mahohe,
of Virginia, is the latest siri
king instance. From thetime
he was stricken down with pa

v -nature thatGen. Mahoneand
, . 0tm family were blue-blooded,
F. F. V. aristocrats and that
as long as he remained in the
democratic party he w a s
rich and prosperous in busi
ness, idolized lor his war rec
ord, and his family the pets
of the highest society, but
that after he became h repub
lican he and his family were
socially ostracised, and his
business dicriminated against
until he area gradually: driv
en to bankruptcy. 'About the
only true thing in the whole
article is what is said of bis
' - war Z record. The people of
v Southampon county, Virgin
la. where Ueu. Ala hone w u 8
- born, and wbrre he has . rela
tives now . living, , w o u 1 d
' smile at h.s being called an
" aristocrat, and old citizens
v of Petersburg where he h a. s
iyed since the war would . do
ikewim upon being told that
the Mnhoneg were ever social
pets. Ma hone was plebian
born. He' was a civil engin
eer and helped to build the
Norfolk and Petersburg rail
road, which is a part of the
A. M. & O. system, of which
he became president after the
war at ai salary of $25,000
year, He parne out of the
war poor, as he entered it,
but his war record made him
a rail road president, and the
boss olLthe democratic par-
y of . Virginia, which posi
tion he maintained until for
bearance ceased to be a vir-
ue. About the time his con
rol of the democratic party
was broken ho also lost his
railroad job. Then came hm
organization of the reajuster
party, his nop to the republi
cans and his term in the Sen
ate. -He was; credited with
leinga rich man and was a
avian liver. and adaringspec
ulator. bnt sinc he left the
Senate he has been know sim
ply. as a lobbyist.' His bank
ruptcy was the result of bad
in vent men tt some of which
were shared by democrats, in
stead of their driving him to
bankruptcy. In Petersburg
the social status of the Ma
hones is as irood as it ever
was. Gen. Mahonew a s a
great soldier and a brainy
man. but when that much is
said it is the bet to Htop.
Mr. Rnndell, who was Mr.
Harrison's Marshal for the
District of Columbia, and
who is his cUs persou! and
political friend, says Mr. Har
rinon would'' m-cent another
nomiiiati n if it were tender
ed him. Mr. liansiieii says
paradoxically of one of t h
most DODUlar democrats in
m
Indiana: "The Democratic
friends of Goy. Matthews are
not backwurd in putting him
to the front us a presidentiu
candidate. There is no doubt
that state pride would helf
him wonderfully In Indiana
were be to get the nomina
nation, but there is not much
likelyhood of that. Every
body concedes that he is an
estimable gentleman about
whom all good . cau be spo
ken. He has already enough
national reputation, howev
er, to lead his party in '96.'
If the friends of Go. Matth
ews can get all the Indiana
republicans to talk that way
about him wheu they are out
side their state he will soon
be enjoying the biggest kin
oiaooom. I he lack of na
tional reontntion counts for
little. How much nationa
reputation did Grover Cleve
land have in 1884. when he
beat the widest known man
of that day J. G. Blaine?
foQ many people are ei.:ag

country is actually in
better condition that it has
been since the civil war and

no time to tm playing upon
the mere nreiudtcts of the
people to raider them discon

.There seeis to be some di
visiony of sentiment among
the. republican bosses on the
silver question. A few" day's
ago we ?opieq an interview
with Congressman Settle in
hu h he put himself on rec
ord strongly against freecoi
naget 'y;Z - -
A few days ufter Settle's in-
erview. his chief rival as the
loss of the republican par-
y. Senator Pritchurd, said:
"1 am for the free and un
united coinage of silver. The
great, majority of the North
Carolina republicans are for
In fact, all are friendly
to silver."
This seemed to make the is
iue plain between them. The
Winston Republican conies
o Settle's help and says:
"Abut nine-tenths of the re
mblicnn are opposed to fne
and unlimited coinage and
do not propose to be dump
ed, bay: and baggage into the
aps of our populist friends."
And now conies A. h. Hoi-
on, cnaum'in oi tne orate
lepubiienn Executive com
mittee, in a letter to Rich
mond Pearson, taking t h e
grounds for fusion on State
offices, bufngaifst it in the
National tight. We quote: ttr
Under these resolutions

the Sijver Convention) nei-
her Reid, M'-Kinley rior Alli
son couid hope to get theii
supporsfor even five electors,
and it would be folly for us
to talk about voting for pop
ulist electors, and it would be
oily for us to tnik anout vo
ting for populist elector when
they declare they will not sup
port our part of the ticket,
or no one expects the na
tional republican platform
to declare for the free an un-
imited coinage ol silver ihde
pendent of international a-
greement, or to nominate a
free silver candidate for the
presidency.
We cannot afford to con-
demu the policy uf the nation
al republican party solely to
effect fusion, nor can a repub
lican advocate the populist
doctrine and hope to retain
the confidence of his party.
He will either have to a bun
Ion his position or fall, in
line with the populists. The
sooner uur people realizes
this the better for themselves
and the party.
