Why Mr.1 Morton I* So, Anxious that
: theROpuhllcanaSShould Carry
' North Carolina.
(From Now York Tim os.)
Senator Quay is in a very unaim
table mood nowadays, and not a lit
tle of his bad humor is caused by
the persistence of,the Hon, Levi P.
Morton in making him spend ma
ny thousands of dollars in endeav
oring to carry North Carol ill a fpr
the Republicans. According to a
member of the National Republican
“ Executive Committee this has been
the burden of ^ Mr. Morton’s song
ever Since the beginning of the
campaign. Mr, Morton said some
time ago that' lie had given to the
National Republican Committee
three times the amount of what his
Salary as Vice-President would be
which issupposetj to mean that he has
contributed $00,000. fn return for
tins lie nus insisted, ana still insists
that the fail power of the National
tJonimittees shall be assured tocrtijry'
ing North Carolina. Senator Quay
objected at first, but he could har
dly helpjitflflijig >to the party's ean
dididate for tho Vice-Presidency and
his jiecuniary aid, so an '«&ier^-tio
.Republican campaign has Iv.en car
ried on in North- Carolina, and
Senator Quay hay spent money in
that State which Le wunted to d*
vote to other States.
‘i'he disgust of Senator Quay now
is a discovery he has just made of
the reasons which actuate Mr.- Mor
ton in designing- to have North
Carolina go-dlepfibKcan.^ ''they are
in short,-that the firm of Morton,
Bliss & Co.,"uref holders of what is
known as the 'special tax bonds,
t which now amount principal and
interest to more than $30,000,000.
Those bonds were issued when
North Carolina was in the hands of
the carpet baggers and it was pre
tended that they were to bo devoted
to the building of certain railroads,
in the promotion of whicn Milton
S. Littlefield was the chief actor. A
special tax was levied for their pay
ment, hence their name, Littlefield
took the bods, sold them in New
York for what they would bring,
and did not build the rail roads with
them. The fraud was so gross that
after North Carolina' came under
the oontrol of its decent and respec
table citizens, a constitutional pro
vision was enacted forbidding their
payinent unless such payment should
be Authorized by a majority of the
State at the bkllot box.
Morton, Bliss & Co. bought up
inose Donas atier ineir repudiation
for almost nothing, and have made
several attempts to collect them
through the courts, the suits have
been brought in individual bonds in
the United States Circuit Court for
North Carolina in the name of dum
mies who reside in North Carolina.
The suits are not brought by Mor
ton, Bliss & Co., in order to avoid the
provision of the ' eleventh amend
ment, to the Federal .Constitution
which forbids the hriiigging of , a
suit against a State by a resident of
another State7 One of these suits is
now pending in the United Stutcs
Supreme Court, With siiiali. chances
of success. But,'even if the suits
"were io succeed,” the collection' ol
the judgement wotjld ha. difficult,
unless thie people, the Legislature
and the Governor should be in favoi
of paying it. Therefore, Mr. Mor
ton is very desirous to have Nortli
Carolina go ftepubliean, laud then

only a vast financial . speculation,
in which he uses the Republican
party 4» a tool to accomplish his
ends. .
If the Republicans were to capture
North Carolina at this election of
course that wopld not of itself in
sure the,payment: of the bonds. But j
it vojjIdtfiye^tJtepuLilican Governor
a Republican Superne Court, and a
Republican Legislature. Much may
be done with such agencies. At j
least negotiations could be conduct
ed for the payment of something
on the bonds. And whatever is
paid would bo likely to he a profit
to Mr. Morton., One thing which
militates against the success of the
gigantic scheme is the fact that the
Democrats of North Carolina have
got on to it. Senator Ransom is
about to freely expose it oil the
stump, and his exposure will finally
defeat it. ‘ The people of North
Carolina do not really want to pay
for bonds which were issued by ras
cals whom they have recently driven
from the State.

. . &c. ig Brief.
Columbus, Ohio, October 12th.—
Hon. Patrick A. Collins and others,
committee.
Gentlemen—In obedience to cus
tom, I send you this formal accent-,
unci) of my nomination for the bHice
of Vice-President of the U nited States
made by the National convention
of ' the Democratic party at St
Louis.
When you did me the honor to
.call upon meat Columbus, and offi
cially notify me of my nomination,
I expressed to you my sense of obli
gation to the convention, and stated
that, although I had not Sonant the
nomination, I did »U feel at- liberty
under the e’TeoT ,stances, to decline
it. I thought then; as I still think,
that whatever I could properly do to
promote the re-election of President
Cleveland I ought to do. His ad
ministration has been marked by
unola lliDjffri'+ir rrr\r\A ciAn'oA
courage and exalted patriotism that
just appreciation of these high qual
ities seem to call for his re-election.
I am also strongly impressed with
tlie belief that his re-election would
powerfully tend to strengthen that
feeling of fraternity among the
American'people that is 'so Essential
to their welfare, peace and happiness
and to the perpetuity oi the union
and of our free institutions.
I approve the platform of the St.
Louis Convention, and .Itramtot too
strongly express ny deseut from the
heretical teachings of the monopo
lists that the welfare of the people
can be promoted by a system of ex
orbitant taxation far in excess to
the wants of the.government.
The idea that people can be en
riched by heavy and unnecesary
taxation, that man’s condition can
he improved by taxing him on all he
wears, on all his wife • and children
wear, on all his tools and implements
of industry, is an obvious absurdity.
To fill the vaultsof the treasury w ith
an idle surplus, for which the gov
ernment has no legitimate use, and
to thereby deprive the people of our
currency needed for their business
and daily wants ond to create a pow
erful aud dangerous stimulus to ex
travagance and corruption in the ex
penditures of the government, seems
to me to be a policy at variance with
every sound principle of government
and of political economy.
The necessity of reducing taxation
to prevent such au accumulation of
surplus revenue and the consequent
deception of the circulating medium,
isso apparent that no party dares
to deny it; but when we come to
consider the modes by which reduc
tion may be made, we find wide an
tagonism between our party and the
monopolistic, leaders of our political
oppouents. We seek to reduce tax
es upon the necessaries of life; our
opponents seek to endwise them.
We say, give to the masses of the
people cheap and good, clothing,
cheap blankets, cheap tools and
Cheaper lumber. The Republicans,
by the platform, and theft lead era
in'the Senate by their proposed hill,
say increase taxes oil clothing and
blankots and thereby increase their
cost, maintain a high duty oh the
tools,of the farmer and meehaniu
and upon the lumber which they
need for the construction of the
modest dwellings, shops and barns,
and thereby prevent their obtaining
these necessaries at reaSoh'abla pri
ces. .
Can any sensible man donut as to
where he should stand in this con
troversy? Can any well informed
mnn lie deceived by the‘false pretense
that a-system so unreasonably* and
unjust is for the benefit of the la
boring munP , , ,
Much is snid about competition of
American labor with'the pauper lay
bor of Europe hut does not _ every
mah who' looks Iftbund him see and
know that ihfe immense majority of
"laborers in America are not engaged
in what are culled the protected in
dustries? And as to.those who are
employed in such industries, is it
not undeniable'tbat the duties pro
posed by the Democratic measure,
called the Mills lull, £Hf e-iceed the
difference between American and
European wages, and that, therefore
if it were admitted that our work
ingmen can he protected by tariffs J
against cheaper labor, they would j
he protected, more than protected
by that bill? Does not every well
informed man know that the in
crease in the price of home manu
facturers produced by tlie-higli tariff
does not go into the pockets of tl.t. .
loboring man, hut o»'y tends to!
swell the profit" of urhers?
ft seeitiS tg me that, if rfhe policy
hf the • Democratic ‘ party is
j plainly presented, all must under
i stand that we seek to make the cost
! of living less, and at the same time j
iiicrease the share of the laboring |
man in the benefits of national pros
perity" and growth.
I am very respectfully your obe
dient servant,

Preachers nre the best pnformers,
the poorest politicians. The transi
tion from the reformer to the poli
tician is natural and easy full of
peril to the reformer and the reform
ation.—St. Louis Advocate.
Many persons who willingly pay
50 cents or more for a seat to some
strolling theaetrieal troope to witness
a poor or indecent play will not
place a nickel in a church collection,
thereby contributing towards the
payment of the sexton and for
making them comfortable during
the services with light and warmth.
Many a man has the reputation
of honesty because he pays his physi
cian, his lawyer, bis butcher, his
merchant and his landlord he ause
they may force him legally to do so,
that will not pay his preacher or his
contribution or subscriptions to the
church enterprises because they will
not force him to do so. “Consisten

Sam Jones says in relation to the

Sunday in this country in eight or

"And upon the first day of the
week, when the disciples came to-,
geaher to break bread,” (note the
purpose,, to break. bread), "Paul
preached unto them.” Here we find
the observance of the day mentioned
as the common nnd established thing.
The Disciples, the Christians at Tro
ae, met together, even as w-c/how
meet, on the first day of the week.
They “broke bread” celebrated the
Holy Communion, as Hie Church
always hiisdonebu that day, and Paul
preached to them. It was already
settl'd, and the custom from that
day has been observed. In St. Paul’s
First Epistle to the Corinthians we
find this explicit command: "Upon
the first day of the week let every
one lay by him in store as God has
prospered him,’* ect. A weekly
tbank-offeruig waste be made, and
this as a commemoration of the
inestimable benefit” to men from the
sacrifice nnd resurrection of Our
Blessed Lord. .Enough has been

the first day os the standing rule ure

.biit there is one more mentioned
whiuT). must not lie passed by. ■ St
JoIib, in the Book of Revelation
says, 1 was in the spirit on the

as to what day is meant, for the ex
pression, the Lord’s day, was the
thief one used in the parlv Church
in regard to the tirst day in the
week. * • * In the Prayer
Book we always find the old famili
ar Saxon name Sunday used; a heath

As the Administration at Wash

continue a unit in the support of

his knot; can we not tie another
which will remain tied as long as we
litfe'?** Miss Grace, blushed, and a
kiss, it is said, sealed the bargain.
