What they wanted was a railroad.
All they cared to know was that Jar-
is was chielly instrumental in its
consummation. That has been the
people's attitude towards him. The
politicians and managers have always
been opposid to him. Ransom has
been their ideal. He is the oflice
getter. He .makes appointments a
fiimily matter, lie is lucky in strik
ing the right chord. Kdas appoint
ment as Collector vas a mistake.

no opposition to me appoinimeui
and was made supremely happy when
Elias resigned according to under
standing. The present incumbent,
Mr. Carter, was the original favorite
with Ransom. lie was assurred of
the change that was afterwards
made, w hich transferred the com
mission l liOM ELIAS TO CARTER.
It was known here, I am told, that
Carter, long before the change was
made, was preparing to assume the
responsibilities of the ollice. Know
ing all this no mam in this section
of the State is more servile to Ran
som than Mr. Elias. lie is thus at
tached and identiliedas a matter of
self-preservation. If Kansom goes
down l-'Ains goes down, lie is cand
idate on that platform, and has gone
to New York to beg for campaign
funds to vindicate Mr. Cleveland, it
is said.
THE OUDGEll FAMILY
furnishes another illustration of ser
vility to Federal patronage. After
his involuntary retirement from the
bench, Judge (iudger made a com
plete failure in his effort to make a
living at the practice of law. He
was very poor and needy when Kan
som discovered that General Ulysses
Hampton, who had been designated
for appointment in Washington, was
a brigadier-general in Hjlden's mil
itia during the Kirk insurrection.
The discovery resulted in (iudger's
appointment.
IT DIDN'T COUNT
however, so far as the (Iudger fami
ly is concerned. Hezekiah is the
politicia.-j in the family. Besides,
lie is Vance's executor. Hesides, he
didn't like Ransom. Resides, he
threathened to join the Republican
or Populist party to beat him if nec
essary. Besides, he was poor and in
debt, liut why not end the story?
lie is now in Washington wearing
russet shoes and is the loudest-lung
ed Ransom cuckoo there if what is
heard here is Half way true.
IN THIS WAY
powerfully supplemented by the of
tice holders, has the Western coun
ties been made solid for liandom.
When Jarvis arrived here last night,
after desultory &nd disheartening
tour from Salisbury by way of States
ville, Hickory and Lenoir, he looked
hacked and worn. He was the de
liverer of these people from commer
cial and industrial bondage. But as
a candidate against the machine he
gets only a perfunctory shake ot the
hand and a very formal, freezing
howdy-do.
HE XOW REALIZES
what the Federal ollice holders have
done for Ransom in the Western
counties. He now appreciates the
condition that compelled Kansom to
trade silver for patronage. He has
met here a solid phalanx of Kansom
ortice holders, and as lie journeys
westward he will hud it in his front

Wa-minotox, D-t. H 11, the
Ishriiii'ite and "iraitor" of a short
moip h ago, is to-day the accepted
and acclaimed leader of the Nt.v
York Democracy. He voted against
the Democratic tarilf bill in defiance
of party cuurut. He was denounced
on the tloor f the Senate as a "ren
egade" and "ctaitoi" by Democratic
leaders. He was refused partici(a
tion i'i Democratic caucuses. Jle
war- ehuuned, ridiculed, denounced,
despised. Senator Ransom bluntly
denied the request of a conatituei t
fur an introduction to Senator Hill.
"What do you take me for," he said
with some show of indignation ; "in
troduce a gentleman to that d
d '(" Hill's name was execrated
in the Senate. His face wad slapped
by Senator Mc I'nerson, and Senator
Hlack'uurn deiiouiiced him in the
hearing of Senators as 4a d d trait
or to the Democratic party." He
wus friendless and nameiess.
A DEE1' LAID SCHEME.
He was wiser than the leaders who
abused and derided him. It was his
prediction that the Democratic par
ty would be at his feet imploring
him to save it within GO days from
the adjournment of congress, lie
could defy a Democratic caucus with
impunity. He was master of the
situation. The one vote necessary
to pass the tariff bill he carried in
his vest pocket. The income tax
was ground of his implacable oppo
sition to the bill. Senator Smith
was just as vehement in his opposi
tion to the income tax, but he yeild
ed. Hill did hot yeild because he
could vote against it and pass the
bill at the same time. The advan
tage he possessed was that he owned
and controlled one vote beside his
own. The construction of the bill
favored his scheme. It would have
been defeated by the votes of the two
Louisiana Senators, but for the in
tervention of Hill's pocket vote.
Five minutes before the crisis devel
oped Hili's vest pocket vote was sol
emnly pledged to vote against the
bill, it came that made defeat.
Hill prevented it, and then was laid
the wires that made him the nomi
nee of the Saratoga convention by
acclamation. A Southern Senator
who maintained the most intimate
and confidential relations with Hill,
observed, incidently, to your corres
pondent, "Hili will be the Democra
tic candidate for Governor in New
York and you will see the biggest
row that has ever been known in
American politics. He is playing a
deep game and it takes a desperado
in politics to play it." This was not
conjecture. The Senator who made
the observation was the Senator
w hose vote made the consummation
of the scheme possible.
Thus far the game has been suc
cassfully played. His mutiny and
treasou have been condoned. He is
the recognized leader of the Demo
cratic party. Instead of scoffs and
jeers and derision it is adulation,
supplication. The Democratic par
ty in New York is at his feet The
"traitor" and "peanut politician" is
its declared savior. The spectacle is
pitiful. It involves a woeful prosti
tution of American manhood. In
its wanton repudiation of all decency,
principle and self-respect, the ac
ceptance of Hill's leadersh p, under
the circumstances, challenges com
parison with the most flagrant and
disgraceful episode in American pol
itics. HIS ELECTION IMPOSSIBLE,
His election is an impossibility.
His personality is the issue. The
bold and defiant bid for the Presi
dential nomination in 189G will de
stroy him. The purification of State
and municipal politics in New York
demands his annihilation. There
was never a better opportunity for
striking a blow at "bossism" and
corruption than is now offered in
New York. Hill is the embodiment
of all that is dangerous and corrupt
in politics. Behind him stands Tam
many Hall, the most corrupt and
dangerous political organization in
existence; the machine built up by
"boss" Murphy, as chairman of the
Democratic State committee; every
member of a w ard "gang" like Shea,
who sent a ball crashing through
the brain of Robert Ross in Troy
last April because he dared to stand
up for honest elections, and forty
nine out of fifty toughs, criminals
and liquor sellers in the State.
It is a matter of profound interest
to every lover of pure politics and
good government tnat tnis combina
tion should be defeated and defeated
ignominiously. The election pro
test of last year when the ballot box
thief, Maynard, was defeated by
100,000 majority has been lost on
the Democratic "bossesv lhey lm
agine that popular indignation has
blown over. But the gathering
storm and muttenngs of popular
' wrath are evident to be mistaken.

tion."
About the same heed will be given
this demand a3 was given the Popu
list demand in North Carolina. The
Louisiana situation may not be so
hopeless. The New Orleans Times
Democrat has frequently admitted
the gross nature of the frauds perpe
trated od the suffrage in Louisiana,
and demanded a radical reform in
election methods. In the same num
ber of the Times-Democrat that con
tained the account of the planters'
meeting is said editorially that "the
sugar situation is unpromising, but
it will not be improved by fraudu
lent registration, ballot box stuffing
and false counting."
The election frauds in North Car
olina in 1892 were so gross that no
attempt has been made to deny or
extenuate them. It is certain that
it is the intention of the Democratic
managers to resort to the same meth
ods in 1894 that were so successfully
employed in 1892. The strength of
the opposition and the great stakes
involved in the election demand it.
I'UBLIC SENTIMENT
condemns it Public morality re
bukes it. Public conscience revolts
at it. It will not be practiced again
with the same exemption from pun
ishment and retribution that char
acterized the election of two years
ago. Repeated and defiant abuses
have made honest elections an issue
of profound interest and significance
in other States.
A large public meeting of white
Democrats was held in Cobb Coun
ty, Ga., to take action in respect to
securing a fair vote and an honest
count. Speechas were made and res
olutions passed demanding that re
peating must stop ; that all parties
shall have representation on election
boards, and that good order shall be
preserved at the polls. Tne object
of the meeting was endorsed by the
Atlanta Constitution, which says
that "our Government rests upon the
ballot, and when it becomes a dis
honest ballot our institutions are in
danger of beins destroyed." A sim
ilar publec sentiment is visible in1
Florida, where fraud on the suffrage
has reached such proportions that
the Jacksonville Times-Union, the
leading Democratic newspapern the
State, quotes without dissent a prom
inent Democrat as saying that "it
would be a recommendation to a man
in Florida to charge him with fraud
on the ballot."
BEGINNING OF THE END.
It is eighteen years ago since a
shotgun campaign was systematical
ly begun in the South against the
black vote. Ex-Senator Eustis, who
is now American Minister at Paris,
and Governor McEnery, who is now
a Judge in Louisiana, boasted on the
fctump a few years ago how ' "Fred

Tin- old farmer said. "Sir, you arn
vi i v Jiim-li mistaken. Before I join
ed the Alliance I did not know any
thing about the tariff nrjnui h of any
thing else about our public affairs.
But I have been reading up for th
last few years and I am alile to tell
you positively that you are wrong.
Let nie give you a fact to disprove
your statement. The l iniiuiou of
Canada paid in one year, on uuit ar
ticle, eggs, duty to the amount of
.m2,(KIH. That is over half a million
dol lars."'
The drummer looked at the old
farmer in astonishment and said,
"No, I did not kuo-v that."
The old farmer said, "Why, Kir,
from the 2nd day of March, lSlil to
the present t imi), farm aud truek
products were protected with dutTes
as follows: Horses and mulws valed
at if 150 pay a duty of $'.',0 per head;
if valued over $150 they pay an ad
valorem duty of .10 per eeut; cattle
one year old and over, $10 per head;
cattle under one year old, $1 per
head."
The drummer p"iied his eyes wi
der, and " I d-i-d n o t k-u-o-w
that."
The old farm r continued, "Hay
pays a duty of 1 pnr ton. Broom
corn pays a duty of $S per ton. Hog
$1,50 pei head. Sheep, one year old
or more, -fl 50 per head; less than a
year old, 75 cents per head. Barley
:; cents per bushel. Buchwheat,
15 cents per bushel. Corn, 15 centu
per bushel. Com meal, .'JO cents per
ImsLel of fifty-six pounds. Oats, 15
cents per bushel. Oatmeal, one cent
per pound. Rice, cleKtied, two cent
per pound. Kye, ten cents per bush
el. Rye Hour, one-half of one cent
per pound. Wheat, twenty-five
cents per bushel. Wheat llour twen
ty per cent ad valorem. Butter and
substitutes therefor, sis centu per
pound. Cheese, six cents per pound.
Milk, live cents per gallon. Beans,
forty cents pei bushel. I'eas, forty
eents per bushel. Cabbage, three
cents a head. Lggs, five cents per
dozen. Honey, twenty cents pr gal
lon. Hops, fifteen cents per pound.
Onions, forty cents per bushel. Po
tatoes of all kinds, twenty-five cents
per bushel. Ba-on and hams, five
cmts per pound. Beef, Muttotwand
pork, two cents per pound. Meats
of all kinds, prepared or preserved,
twenty per cent ad valorem. Lard,
two cents per pound. Poultry, live,
three cents per pound; dressed poul
try, five cents per pound. Tillow,
one (ut a pound."
At this point the drummer's eyes
fell and his under lip dropped, and
he said, " I d-i-d u-o-t k n-o-w
t-h-a-t."
The old farmer said, "Sir, you do
not set ii i to know much about the
tariff. I will make you a proposi
tion, I will name" twenty-five articles
and if you will tell tne the amount of
duty collected, and how it in couuted,
for every article you are right I will
give you one dollar, if you will give
me live cents for every article you
miss."
"Well," said the drummer, "I
think you would make money."
Tho farmer said "You seem not to
know anything about the tariff, and
a m in ought not to talk about a
thing he does not know any thing
about."
The crowd commenced 'u 'hing,
and the drammer at once tt u pud
went to the smoking car. As the
drummer left the oldtarmei asked him
to tay, saying that he would like to
talk finance again with him after
they tfot through with the tariff, liat
the drummer did not stop. He had
started out to stuff the old farmer,
but soon found that he had struck
the wrong man. Before he tackles
another farrow he will first find out
if he is an Alliance man.

the old farmer could have added
