a satire upon his political oppo

who had sense enough to go crazy
upon any tiling. He calls the Dem

although it was highly protective
and contained some schedules
written by Republicans. It had no
feature that even remotely related
to free trade and if he doesn?t
know this he ought to go read his

If the saying expresses a great

the other day before the Confer

He was telling of the hard work

question. "How shall. a man sup

voke a smile, perhaps, that same'

MR. BLACKBURN'S SPEECH.
In all of the Hon. Spencer Black
burn's ramblings Saturday, there
is not to be found room for serious
debate. There would never a word
be said but for the fact that he talked
recklessly and the necessity fox
having some one to reply to him is
plainly apparent. Blackburn has
re nra ted ttyii by -alTn F tflsTCrt -
iting Newland that if he can't beat
the Democratic nominee, he can't
beat anybody. We say only what
allmen know, that if Blackburn
can' beat Newland, anybody can
do it.
If the lato- Senator Ingalls said
one thing more than another that
epigram "Honesty in politics is an
iridescent dream." An so despite
Blackburn's frequent appeals to
the Democrats to "got decent, be
honest" and the like, the wis
.leffersonian will keep his eyes-' up
on Eoluribus. He is not honest
i
and he knows it.
What Democrat has not grown
weary denying the imperishable
charge that the Wilson-Gorman
tariff law of laSH reached back a
year and caused the panic of 1893?
That's just what Blackburn sa'u
in his speech Saturday. -He de
clared as his party platform dc
clares, that Democratic tariils
have, always been followed by bus
iness adversity and Republican
ftlwavs bv business prosperity
- - -
There's not a word of truth in this
and if Blackburn has as much in
formation as a f ried ovster, he
knows he is not telling the truth
The panic of 1878 came upon the
eoiintry following (i rant's second
inauguration and this was under a
Republican tariff. The panicof 1803
came on under the McKinley tarif
and that piecej of legislation was
one of the causes of that depression.
This panic, which was almost vorl I
wide, was also attributed to that
demagogical device, known as t iie
Sherman Silver law, a Republican
contrivance, and . to other minor
matters extraneous to this country.

A JUST VERDICT.
The jury in the White trial ren
dered a just verdict and the sen
tence of Judge Cooke is in conso
nance with their judgement. This
paper has never said a wrord con-
ccrning the case until it came to!
When the New Pope was called
from ease and content to Rome
and the "fierce light that beats
upon a throne," he exclaimed:
"Wbat shall I do without my coun
try walks, my Venice, and my
sea." If Judge Parker is called
of the people to supreme place, he

maelstrom of our politics, that

would be asked and it was sought below his home.

Blackburn and Poker.
Our young friend. Spencer
Blackburn who is runnissfTor Con
gress on the Republican ticket in
the Eighth district of North Caro
lina, disappoints us. We had been
led to believe that he was a poli
tician and knew that in the game
of polics all was fair and that the
policy of politicians was to admit
nothing and deny nothing. But
in a card in the Charlotte Obser
ver he denies that he ever played
a game of poker in his life this
because some one in the audience
when he was speaking yelled
down with the poker player. ' '
Why bless his soul! Does he not
know that in the game of politics
that white is painted black and
black white? Does he not know
that when political scavengers
come in that nothing in the world
is sacred and that character, repu
tation, all things which men hold
sacred are dragged in the filth and
slime? J)oes he not know that a
'campaign lie" has been floating
as long as there has been politics
in the world and that no matter
what a man may not be guilty of he
wiil be accused and must stand to
the rack without murmuring, and
without complaining?
:,There is no use to deny it. The
general public does not believe
anything it hears for or against a
man who is in the dirty boat of
politics. -It knows that he will be
traduced and lampooned and black
garded; it knows that truth has no
place in its economy so what it
hears it hears and lets it go at
that.
The fact that a gentleman plays a
game of poker in no way detracts
from his ability as a National law
maker, for, indeed, is not poker a
Natienal game and do not some
of the best and wisest and purest
of our statesmen play at cards for
money and booze? To be sure they
do. Mr. Blackburn must not com
plain. If this is all that is hurled
at him, lucky indeed he can count
himself. r airbrother s hver y-
