The directors of the Piedmont

The Pennsylvania Democratic

He had raised a question as to
how the nomination for Senator
in this district should lie made,
and in expressing our opposition
to his proposed plan, we gave a
legitimate and a reasonable sup
position to show what would lie
its almost inevitable result* if tt
should be adopted. He took care
not to question the correctness of
our opinion that Ins plan when
put into practice would piace the
power of nominations in the hands
of a very small minority of the
people rtf the district, ami that
minority, too, confined to one
county. We said, and we reiter
ate the statement, that such a
proceeding would be unjust, un
fair, and undemocratic; because
it would deprive the people of two
counties of the district of their
just right to a voice in choosing
their representative. Our frirnd,
himself, resorts to a supposition
to demonstrate the probable re
sult of a primary election for the
whole district, and we have no ob
jeetion to offer to his figures.
They arc at least approximately
correct, showing that 400 men
would most likely have it in their
|»ower to nominate a Senator.
But we respectfully submit that
it would he incomparably better
for 400 men, representing every
section of the District, to make
the nomination, than it would-be
for 200 from one/ounty to do it.
Our frirnd^makes another suppo
sition, which we consoler a very
unreasonable one. He seems to
apprchend t lhat,’unless Randolph
is^allowedjto monopolize the busi
ness of naming _the Senator, a
combination between Terrell and
Clay, and a certain element in our
own county, may succeed in se
lecting “a man whose avowed pur
pose would he” la overthrow our
prohibition law. We think that
this view is not only unreasonable
in itself, but that it is a reflection
upon the people of Terrell anil
Clay, who certainly could have
no motive for wishing to Interfere
with the local affairs of Randolph
county. There would he no more
sense in making prohibition in
our county a Senatorial issue, than
there would he in making a coun
ty court in Terrell, or a commis
sion of roads and revenues in Ciav,
such an issue. The truth is. local
matters have nothing whatever to
do with the question that we are
discussing, and the Senator, who
ever he may he, will not deem it a
part of his duty to change exist
ing conditions in Randolph coun
ty without authority from our
people. The ground of difference
between our neighbor anil oursell
is very broad, and very important.
He lakes the position that a mi
nority of the Democrats of the
District should he accorded the
right to make the nominations;
whereas we believe that every
Democrat in the whole District
should have the privilege of se
lecting the men who are to be
come his representatives. We
assume and defend this opinion
because we know that it is in ac
cordance with Democratic princi
ples, und because we know it to
bejusl and right. If the people
ol Clay and of Terrell should ex
press a willingness to forego the
exercise of this inalienable privi
lege, and to depend upon the wis
dom and lairoess of Randolph
to select their Senator, then there
would he some show of reason and
justice in insisting upon a prima-
j ry election in our county for the
Domination. This of course they
will not, and should not do, and
it is silly and preposterous for
anybody to make such a demand.
But why should there he any
change in the methods of the par
ty in selecting its candidates?
Have the people made any such
demand? Do they desire any
change? If so, we have failed to
observe any indication of it. It
is true that it has been many
years since Randolph furnished a
Senator for the district, hut is
that fact to be laid at the door ol
the Convention system? Does not
the responsibility for the failure
of the Domination to come to our
county rest upon other causes?
We are frank to say that we think
it does, and we regard the effort
that lias been made to fasten it
upon Terrell as being ungenerous
and unjust. A brief review of the
facts connected with the Senato
rial conventions in, this District
may not be uninteresting or unin-
structive al this juncture. It will
he sufficient for our purpose to go
back to 1880 when it was conceded
that it was Terrell’s time, under
the rotation plan, to furnish the
Senator. In 1882, however, a dis
pute arose between the counties
of Clay and Randolph as to which }
should have the honor, and after
-much controversy asd contention,
it was tound that an agreement
was impossible, and, as a conse
quence, Hon. James G. Parks, of
Terrell, without expecting it, or
seeking it, was nominated to sac
ceed himself. When the conren
lion ol 1SS4 assembled in Cutli-
hert, while the dispute between
the contending counties still ex
isted, it was not as strong as it
had been two years before, ami it
is confidently believed that il
wise counsels and determined ac
tion had characterized nur dele
gatinn, Randolph would have ae-
etired the nomination. If our in
formation is correct, there was
only one inan from this county who
was formally presented, and who
received our delegation's support.
We believe, and others who were
present on that occasion, and aie
conversant with the views of the
delegates from Clay and Terrell,
also believe, that if other names
had been presented to that con
vention, and given the united aud
earnest support of our delegation,
we would have been rewarded
with the prize. But when it lie
came apparent that t he choice of
our delegates could not, under the
circumstances, obtain the nomi
nation, instead of pursuing the
course indica’e I above, a motion
was made by a Randolph man,
for what reason we do Dot pre
sume to say, to nominate Col. L.
C. Hoyl, of Terrell county. In
1886 it seems that our delegates
were of the opinion that the host
thing to be done was to yield the
claims or Clay, and, by conceding
to her the Senator, make the way
clear for Randolph in 1888. We
will not question the wisdom of
their course, and we congratulate
the Democrats of our county to
day upon the fact that the time
has come when their right to the
Senatorship is conceded by both
the other counties.
From the foregoing summary
of facts it will be soen that if Ran
dolph has not had the Senator a*
often as she was entitled to him
according to the rotation system,
it was due to causes other than
Ike alleged •“tricks” of Terrell
county politicians. If the Sena
tor has not come from our county,
the district has been well and
ably represented, and the interests
of the people have been faithfully
maintained. Aa already stated,
we sec no need for a change of
method. The convention jilan
prevails all over the country, and
it has given satisfaction. If, how
ever, it is desirable to try the
primary election mode, let every
Democrat in the District have an
opportunity to vote. This is all
we contend for, and we will he sal*
isiied with nothing less.
If neither of the present ramliilalcs for
the .Senate suits vou bring out another
and let him takeliis chances ben-re the
people. Don’t try to slip him in without
giving the people a chance to accept or
reject him. let’s give the people a show
ing this year—fur once.—Liberal.
What we have said, and nmy
say hereafter, upon the Senatorial
question, has not been suggested
by a desire to affect, either favor
ably or unfavorably, the chances
of any man who may have aspira
tions for the office. We have our
views as to what method should
he adopted to secure a nomination,
and we have slated them fairly and
fearlessly, without impugning the
motives of any who might enter
tain adverse opinions. It is nouc
of our business to “bring out” a
candidate. That important work
will, of course; devolve upon the
convention, and whoever may be
its choice, will be our choice, and
shall receive our most cordial sup
port. Our friend should not al
low his imagination to get the
belter of bis sense ol justice and
courtesy. Gladly would we as
sure him that we have no desire
whatever to “try to slip - ’ in a “dark
horse.” But we do say that, in
asiuucli as several of Randolph’s
prominent and worthy sons may
seek the Senatorial nomination,
all should have an equal showing
before the convention. Is there
anything dai k or suspicioua in
that?
The St. balls CuveitiMU
The National Democratic Con
vention will meet next Tuesday
in the city of St. Lnois. It is
coiti|xiscd of wise and able men
from all sections of the Union,
anil its counsels will lie charac
terized by the utmost harmony
and enthusiasm. There is abso
lutely no difference of opinion as
to who the nominee for the Presi
dency shall lie, and there will lie
nodiflienlly in agreeing upon a
plalfoim of principles, as the
main issues upon which the cam
paign ft to lie fought, have al
ready been thoroughly discussed,
and accepted liy the people. The
battle cry of the Democrats will
he “tariff reduction,” and this de
mand will he so plainly, so une
quivocally, and so strongly in
corporated into the St. Louis plat
form that no demagogue, whatev
er may lie his shrewdness, can
pervert Us meaning. The coun
try is utterly tired and disgusted
with ambiguous declarations upon
fundamental principles of govern
meat. The Democratic platform
of 18S4 has been inlerpieled to
mean two things, essentially dif
ferent, and as wide apart as the
|ioles. With tiie manufacturers
and monopolists it was made to
mean protection, and with the
people its meaning was tariff re
form. The protectionists, on ac
count of this double interpreta
tion. have been able to defeat all
measures looking to a reduction of
laxation, and the people, worn
out witli waiting, have resolved
that there shall he no more doubt
ful [datrorms to afford shelter and
support for tiie selfish schemes
and purposes of their enemies.
We are glad that Ibis is the case,
lor we have an indeslructible
faitli in the [lower of truth and
justive to prevail when they aie
fairly presented to the people.
There is no reason why the charms
and beauties of honesty and
right should be even partially
hidden by the repulsive ugliness
of wrong ami injustice. Tim
Democratic parly undoubtedly fa-
rtirs low taxation, and opposes
protection.
These facts were abundantly
demonstrated recently by the ac
tion of tiie people of the Slates
throughout the country, and they
cannot he disguised - or concealed
by vague ami indefinite declara
tions in the national platform.
If there was any excuse for such
uncertainty four years ago, it doe-
not exist to day, and the leaders
of the party, fresh from the [am
ple, will repudiate the doubtful
pulley of 1884, and inaugurate
an aggressive campaign upon
plain and unmistakable issues.
The only matter u|a>n which there
is any divergency of opinion, or
conflict of views, relates to the
vice [licsidcney. A number of
gentlemen are preminenlly men
tinned in this conned inn, hut
more or less ohjectiou lias been
expressed against all of them.
The only thing certain about this
is that the man will come from
the Northwest, and wc have no
donlil that the Convention will
find the right one. The prospect
is decidedly bright nnd encour
aging, and all Democrats are hap
py in the hope of a glorious victo
ry.

Evansville (Ind.,) Evening Tribune.
North and Heath.
A comparison of sections, in a
common country, furnishes torn*
very interesting fact*, not only a.
to their respective political condi-'
lions, but their general physical
and mental characterisin'*, their
habits, literature and proclivities.
In % country so broad anti cum
prt-hensive a* the United Slates,
and composed of such a diversity
of peoples, such a comparison is
doubly interesting.
While the North and South are
necessarily a common people, they
have their own |>rculiar idiosyn
crasies, a* Weil a* a certain local
patois, which has given rise to an
imaginary distinctiveness. But
this is fanciful, especially when
we observe the rapid assimilation,
which has been going on for ser
erai years.
It is seen that while we have
many types and characteristic! of
people in this Union, there is an
invisible link, which is slowly
harmonizing the whole. The cul
ture of New England, the thrift of
the Middle Slates, the sturdy
manhood of the West, and the
more substantial attributes of the
Southern people, must eventually
blend, when we shall realize, in its
fullness the dream of our fore
fathers—the grand destiny of this
republic. This realization has
been retarded by overweening
pride, political and religious big
otry, ms well as the rancor* of civil
s' l ife. But these are happily *h-
minishing and are now very near
ly al the end of the procession,
where society and the old creeds
die off, and where new men acd
new ideas make their appearance.
With such a grant! realization
as this in full view, and the pros
|iect of national fraternity, as in
dicated by numerous reunions, is
it not time to place a [terpelual
■nuzzle upon the mouths of the
lire eaters mid sectional vampires?
We are now a regenerated nation
since the close of our civil strife.
Young men are now U|xtn the po
lilical arena anti exercising the
right ol suffrage, who were not
born when that struggle dosed.
To them it is merely a tradition,
since all of the issues involved
have been forever settled. Is it
not heathenish that we should
visit upon them the legacy of en
venoinvd hate, engendered bv an
unfortunate strife in which they
played no part? Every instinct
of manhood ami patriotism cries
out against it ami demands that
the curtain of oblivion shall drop
upon this dark era of onr political
and civil history. We are just
now entering another Presidential
campaign, in which the issues in I
volved do not turnish sufficient i
ground upon which the politician I
can rely. It will not suffice to
discuss the logical features of the
tariff, but lie will insist upon dig
ging up the past, to rattle its dry
bones in the face of an excited
constituency. He would open the
wounds, long since healed, in order
to make them bleeti afresh. He
would appeal to the sectional pas
sions of the war in order to poison
the elector's mind against his po
filicai adversaries. Tiles# have
been the political tactics of that
one of the great parties which has
been driven from power. It re
fuses to accept that verdict aa
rendered against tlieir unjust and
unreasonable sectional prejudices,
and the indications point In a re
newal of this feeling in the coming
contest. If the country is exempt
from il, it will not be on account
of the lender mercies of the sec
lionalists, hut to that frown of the
masses, which has already ettn
demned it. The country needs no
belter evidence of the necessity of
continuing the present adminis
tration in power than the security
it affords to a united people and
the Iruilion of the sanguine hopes
of universal fraternity.
No better evidence of the ncces
sity of eliminating sectionalism
from politic* is needed than can
be found in this city. The busi
ness of the city of Evansville is
conducted by men of both sec
tions, anti is very nearly equally
divided between them. Side by-
side they work together to build
up her commerce, develop her in
dustries and advance her claims
upon the outside world. In their
commercial "intercourse there is
nothing to disturb its hsrmony
bnt the rivalries natural to compe
tition. No more occasion exists
why a man’s politics should be tie
manded or wliat section be comes
from, than there would be to de
mand the color of his hair nr the
religion he professes. Yrt this is
the serious side of life—the per
sonal interests of men. If sec
lionaiism cannot play a part in
such intercourse, how far ill
placed it must be in a mere senti
mental application. Politicians
tell us tiiat it is necessary to the
perpetuity of the Union, but we
know that they lie, and that their
own patriotism can be measured
by doliars and cents. We are
again iu forme* I that the welfare of
the country is menaced by the
triumph of the ideas of one'polii
ical school over another. Facts
clearly demonstrate the contrary,
as we have seen both schools in
power, and the country is rocking
along at its usual pace and faring
most sumptuously. So it is quite
clear that sectionalism lias no
a.tiding place under the blue of
of heaven, save in the region of his
Plutonic Majesty, from whence it
originates. But, if Evansville,
which contains both elements, can
find no cause to cry out against,
its Southern neighbors, how much
out ot place does such raillery
seem from sections far more re
moved fiom these people and bav
ing little or no intercourse with
them, and relying for their infor
mation upon hearsay or the veno
mous falsehoods of party newspa
