Fair Play Ut Charlotte Observer Mr. Editok: You: are not con- eidered standard authority onei tber art or science. Endowed, how ever, with a tine analytical mind, an intense insight, which is real ly foresight you are eminent; as a poet-critic, and world renowned as a discoverer ol poets. No man of my acquaintance, so quickly as yourself, catches the smrit ol the inner soul of the poet; no one more keenly enjoy thebannonv of his song or more readily de tects a discordant note. Consid ering these things, and the sweep of vour vision,', we ot 'Possum Hollow are annoyed that vou have utterly ignored the only gen uine, duly stamped and authenti cated poet ot the State now known to lame as A. M. Dougherty the lofty singer ol "Tater Hill." Can it be Dossible .that vou fail a w ed to read heaccount ol Linney's barbacue on "Tater Hill?" It was a Miltonic conception to hI art a congressional bourn on that spot, devoted to the gods, and how superbly Dougherty wineed it and then, as by divine intuition, harnessed Old Pegasus and entrusted it to him to scat ter abroad. My friend, you will miss the best thing ot Jile jl you lail to read Dougherty's ode ded icated toLinney. How everyt hing conspired to .inspire. There were the great mountains, the sweep ing valleys, the rolling rivers, the ovpr-arching skies. And there too, from brush and brake and bram ble, lasily curled the smoke Irnm near and distant "still bouses, the "Watts Bill" to the contrary notwithstanding. In the distance, swirling, whirlingbuxzards "beat a retreat;" euggestive of how the Democrats will take to the hills when Linney's clarion voice shall echo there among. And the great crowd tba t gathered there, the sturdy yomanry of the hills witn "We'uns and wile' The poet faced ah audience worthy of his great song. 1 The moke up ot the crowd was a rare triumph ol non-parti sanship and piety as, well. There freely mingled the knightly son? and the fair-haired daughters ol the ''Clans 01 Barber and Bry ant," stauDchest advocates of Democracy and Repubhonism And then, too. the dear Populists, ol whom it was said in other days, "that a frost would kill snap beans in h 11 before they ev er gotm Dower," were therein all their elory. The air quivered and vibrated with the harmonious rendering.of sacred songs. And then, as if to give the occasion the color of a pre-histonc ago, and of modern thriltiness as well the Rev. Adam Ruter AbramRo ten! invoked divine blessing on the assemblage, not forgetting the corn-cake, butter-milk, roast mutton and dashed lemonade Now to the poem. I frankly ad mit that there is in it no siugle couplet equal to Miss Petersons celebrated lines. breadth and girdle is moulded in to a type of Linney.

We are nnnbla to detect anj special Hniflcance In the result oi the late electibns.ex cept in three particulars here after mentioned. The chief it may be eaid the only general interest, centered n those of the city of New Yorlt anri the Slates o! Maryland ami Ohio. New Yoik City and Mn ryland are normally Dmo era tic and the Democrats have returned to their own. Ohio le naturally a Republi can Sate and when, as lias occurred occasionally, it goes nemniM-tftic. it Di'bsents as trrotesnue a figure as New York city and Maryland do when they go Republican. In NewYmk the party spirit had Ihe assistance of a quire gen eral flisirust wilh the outgo ng administration. With sniveling professions of re form it has permitted a scan alous degree of grafting and ts expenses were such as to liave amouncad to $15 per vear per capita population. t went in as a non-partisan, 'union affair, but Tammany has torn the mask from its lace, and reealed the Repuh ican party, while exposing the falsity of its claims to a superior virtue. Theonlysur prise in the result is in the size of the majority, which is greater than the confidential estimate of the Democratic leaders. Democrats every where may well rejoice over the victory n Marvlnnd, and there is no occasion for them to have tears on account of Ohio, since it rids national politics of a particularly pestiferous oerson. The election in that State was a Republican tri umph, it is true, but it was other and more than t hat- it was a pronouncement up on the socialism, the single tax theory and other fads and iama of Mr. Tom John Bon and in length and breadth the adverseness of the judge ment is without precedent in Ohio. It is a far cry from val landigham, Ewing.Thurman Pendleton and Hurd to Tom Johnson, and the voters of the State which they honor ed and which honored them have registered their verdict upon the contrast with an en ergv which leaves no room for misunderstanding and no occasion for anything addi tionul to be said. The result of last year in Rhode Island, where the Democrats elected their can didate for Governor and lost all the other Stnte officers and the Legislntuie, wascuri ously duplicated Tuesday. Mr. Garvin is clearly a man of great personal popularity and must have made a verv excellent Governor. Nebraska, after a season of fusion, has returned to the Republican fold apparently for good, as its vote thisyear in practically a replica of thai of last. That MttHsachuseits PennHvlvania and Iowa should have yoted Republi can was as reasonable an ex pectation as that Viririni and Mississippi would go De:i oeratic, The sum total of it all that Senator Gorman is kept to the front as a presidentnl brobahility and that Tues day demonstrated that New. York isgood fighting ground next year. Beyond these dem onstratiens we fail to see that the elections signify.
