Col Jlosby was not far from tne mark
when he said : "I regard Mahone as
the most vindictive, unscrupulous and
meanest , tyrant that ever figured in
American politics."
A story comes from Washington
that Mahone would not let Riddleber-
ger fight Page McCarthy .because rage
is a dead shot, and Mahone didn't want
a senatorial vacancy from his State
about this time. '
Gen Sherman remarked to Gath that
ttCywas';hell upon eartn.
t impossible that he
pon to become a
Senators from other
I1, '' after term, and the idea of applyinghe
rotation doctrine to them never occux
;s!red to any one. In the old Whig party
ahd'iri the JJepublica party the same
course has been pursued, and , their. Sen
, i vatorS were retained f or- leng - periods.
In fact, it was the rule, rather than- the
exception, to retain the old Senators
rwho had proved able and won distinc
tion. Arid this rule prevailed even to a
greater extent in the South than it did
in the North, and to this is attributed
the fact that the representation of the
South previous to the war was superior
- to?tha't" from the North.where there was
more of a scramble for place,and-w jaere
nolitics were followed, not so much as
a science, regardless of pay, but as - a
means of.supp6rt, and of accumulating
wealth. Southern men, as a rule, spent
' more money in Washington than they
made, for they generally had a compe
tence independent of their salaries ancf
gave their services to their country, and
felt themselve repaid by the honor con
ferred upon tem in being chosen to
represent their people.
Why there should be a departure now
from this almost universal rule of the
past is not quite apparent to us.
As far as the objection to Senator
Ransom's Totes goes we do not think

Ransom or Dortchl
Idltor Charlotte Obserrer:
In the name of the rank and file of the
Democratic party of Rowan county, of
the Seventh Contrressional district, and
as I believe, of the entire State, I desire
to thank the Observer for its open
stand for the re-election of Senator
Ransom. His defeat would be most

W hnlrf fhal, a man chosen to tne men I ",u",v" J
and responsible position of Senator or
Representative should exercise his own
judgment, and having given the ques
tions upon which he is called upon to
rote full investigation, cast his vote
according to the dictates of his own
judgment and convictions. If this is
not to be his guide of action how is he
to determine how to vote, when a bill
is presented, discussed and forced to a
vote perhaps within a week. But even
if it should hang for weeks or months,
how is he to ascertain popular senti
ment upon leading questions and learn
what the wish of the people really is?
Is he to leave his seat in the Senate or
House, make a canvass of the State,
personally consult his constituents and
inquire how each individual stands?
Or must a poll be had and a test taken
before he votes? All this would place
representatives in a queer predicament,
and would make them mere' automa
tons, and not representatives on whose
good sense and sound judgment the
people who chose them relied.
The vote for the confirmation of Stan
ley Matthews to a place on the Supreme
Court bench is one of the votes that is
now; severely criticized, though at the
time it was cast there was but little
said about it. Senator Lamar, of Mis
sissippi, also voted lor his confirmation
notwithstanding the fact that a resolu
tion of the legislature, which was then
in session, instructed him to the con
trary. He denied the right of the
legislature to dictate to him how
he should vote upon that or any other
question, and held that he,as the chosen
representative of his State, should ex
ercise his own judgment, which he
boldly and honestly did. And yet
Lamar was triumphantly re-elected to
the position which he filled with so
much independence, with so much dis
tinction to himself and credit to his
State. Ransom did not go as far as
Lamar, for he was not instructed, but
, he did what Lamar did, and that was
to do what he thought best under the
circumstances, as any Senator with suf
ficient individuality and independence
to be a representative would have done.
He is censured, also, for his vote in
support of the River and Harbor bill,
when to have voted against it would
have defeated the appropriations to all
the improvements contemplated or in
progress in North Carolina. It is one
of the evils complained of.iind that
justly, that bills of this kind are sent in
in bulk, containing, with thjp good and
. meritorious features, muoti that Is not
good, and yet to get the good the bill
must pass as a whole. This is no new
thing, it is the old style of doing, and
there never was a bill of that kind
passed that did not contain in it much
to be condemned. Senator Ransom
voted for it, as many other Southern
Senators and members of the House
did, because thus only could they se
cure the appropriations asked for their
own States. Had he not done so the
cause of complaint would be much
more just? Had he not done so the
probabilities are that they who art now
denouncing him for it would be de
nouncing him more loudly for failing
to properly look after the interests en
trusted to him.
of ty abilities,
his kniehtlv couraze. and by his splen
did and untiring efforts in its behalf.
The movement for supplanting him
comes not from the people, for it is not
their desire, but was inaugurated by
personal letters, written in his own be
half by the rival aspirant, of whom, un
til he started his own boom, no one had
thought in connection with the Sena
torship. And such letters I Not con
tent with announcing his own candi
dacy, he must needs reiterate every
stale Republican fling at Ransom. If
these things are so damaging and damn
ing to Ransom now ; lr tney constitute
absolute disqualifications for his re
election, whv was he allowed to main
tain the fore-front of the receut great
fight of the party? Why did this
doughty aspirant remain quietly at
home and allow it, without coming to
the rescue himself, and without enter
ing his protest against such a man be
ing allowed to represent the party as
its highest and most eloquent expo
nent? These things come with bad grace
from gentlemen whose voices were
never heard,whose busy pens were still,
whose honest ( ?) indignation was never
aroused, while Ransom, the gallant and
gifted, was electrifying every county
in North Carolina by his eloquence,
rousing our people to their duty, and
working beyond his strength for Ben
nett and for the party. Not even the
glorious Bennett contributed more than
he to save the party from the defeat
which for so long seemed inevitable.
And vet. with his manly eloquence still
ringing in their ears, with the effects
of his speeches seen in the result in
half the counties in the State, with the
record of his honorable service in Con
gress open before them, with the vol
untary tributes of the leading men and
Eapers of the country to his abilities,
is conservatism and his great influ
ence as a Senator, the .people are now
told by a gentleman who selfishly, but
naturally enough, perhaps, desires his
place, that Ransom is unworthy of
their confidence, and unfit to represent
themloneer in the Senate! God save
Our majority in the recent election
was but, a meagre one, and of it many
a vote Was cast for our candidates be
cause, as the people were everywhere
told, iti was a vote for Ransom. Let our
politi ians beware how they trifle with
the will of the people. Self-seeking
combinations may defeat Ransom, but
theeffect will be to disgust and alienate
maiiy an honest, home-spun Demo
cratic voter. more, perhaps, than con
stituted our majority in the recent
election. Rowan.
