FRAILTY OF POLITICAL PROMISES.
Congressman C. C. B. Walker,
Chairman of the New York Democratic
State Committee, is a wag and
natural humorist. He tells the following
story about one of his friends
to illustrate the frailty of political
promises. Its application to primary
campaigns will doubtless be duly appreciated
by many defeated candidates:
"It seems that the candidate had
never had any experience in politics,
and when he began his canvass for
this office he went about among his
neighbors soliciting their support.
Whenever he was promised a voter's
aid he promptly put the name down
in a canvassing book. When the
ballots were counted he received just
two votes, bis own and his son's. In
bis book 1,200 names were recorded.
The politicians chaffed him about this
/ collection of names, when the old
fellow turned on them and replied:
T would not let that book go for all
the money in the United Stat98. It
is a record of all the liars in this
town. I shall pass it in to St. Peter
on my way into heaven and let him
use it as a check book to stop the
sinners from passing through the
gates.'*
.EDITOBIAL NOTES.
There is nothing that will take the
lining oat of a man quicker than an
earthquake.
There seems to be gronnds to fear
that the labor organizations in sev
eral parts of the country have only
escaped from the grasp of the capitalists
to be grasped by the petty
politicians.
It is said that 52 per cent, of the
army and navy pensioners are of foreign
birth. That goes to indicate
with what material the South was
overpowered.
The late venerable Col. Chas. G.
Green, who for forty years was the
editor of the Boston Post, attributed
his good health and long life to the
clear conscience that'good Democrats
? always carry. >
C -IU
on^West Virginia this year, and the""
prospects are that the Democrats will
carry it by a largely increased majority.
The turning of the "rascals"
out of the small postoffices has about
broken up the grand old party in that
State.
The American working women of
the North get DO cents per dozen, or
less than 8 cents each, for makiDg
gentlemen's shirts, and, speaking of
cheap foreign labor, the heathen
Chinee gets 12i cents each for lanndrvmff
them.
-??o
Wiggins had to leave Ottawa on
the day of his earthquake to escape
the jeers of the people. He may yet
have to hod a refuge in a dime museum
along with a fraudulent Circassian
girl or a bogus king of the Cannibal
Islands.
G|neral Guitar is running for
Congress in Missouri, Fiddler Taylors
are after the Governor's chair in
Tennessee. We hope General Drum
will step forward, if he wants anything,
and let us have concert of
action.
In a grain field near Merced, Cal.,
the reaper driving wheel struck a rock
producing sparks which set fire to the
standing grain, and about 250 oi
wheat and 550 of hay were burned.
So says a California paper, but we
will bet $2.50 its a lie.
The mobbing of the Prohibitionists
- ?v. in a small town in Pennsylvania, the
other day, seema to have given fresh
impulse to the prohibition cause in
that State. "The blood of the mar
tyrs is the seed of the church."
The Minnesota Republicans are nol
to be expelled from the protection
party, it seems, because they are free
traders. The Republicans will receive
these weak brethren in the
faith, but not to doubtful disputations.
Prof. Eaton agrees with Dr. Ham
raond that the comiog man will be
bald-headed, but he goes a step further
and says that he will also be de
void ot natural teeth. If these grea'
scientists are correct in their views
there is going to be a prosperous fu
tore for the wig-makers and dentists
It would not b6 a matter of sur
prise if, after the $1 and $2 silve:
certificates get fairly into circulation
there should be a general demam
for still smaller certificates to corre
epond with the old fractional cur
reney. A limited issue of 10 cent
25 cent and 50 cent silver certificate
would supply a want to those wb<
desire to make small remittances b
fniii.
WASHINGTON LSTT2E.
[From Our Regular Correspondent. 1
October 1st, 188G.
During the past week more than
five hundred persons have been dis,
charged from Government service in
Washington, Of these discharged,
three hundred and forty must be
credited to the Government PrriDting
Office and two hundred to the
Washington Navy Yard. I say
credited; for forty thousand dollars
per month will be saved in the
Government pay rolls and the work
in the Government Printing Office
will go on as well as before. At the
Navy Yard nothing will bo lost for
the discharges there were made with
the intention of converting a useless
naval station into a heavy ordnance
foundry. It is the determination of
the present administration, with the
help of Congress, to improve the
naval strength of the United States.
Notwithstanding the fact that nearly
one hundred millions of dollars were
expended duriog the four previous
Republican administrations ostensibly
for the Navy, the Naval force of this
country is inferior to that of sixteen
European, two Asiatic, and three
South American countries;?in other
words we are the weakest naval power.
When the vessels already authorized,
contracted for or commenced are
completed, say four years hence, the
United States will, in naval power,
outrank Brazil, Chili, Argentine,
China, Japan, Greece, Norway,
Portugal and Sweden; be on a par
with Turkey, Spain, Holland aod
Denmark, and be surpassed by
Eogland France, Germany, Austria,
Italy an Russia alone.
Secretary Manning has returned
to the city and will resume the
Treasury portfolio. He will however,
be careful to avoid that close application
to the details of his oflice and
the harrassiDg interviews with callers
which brought him so near death's
door a few months ago. The able
Assistant Secretaries Fairchild and
Thompson will relieve him of moch
labor and care. It is reported that
Assistant Secretary Thompson has
raatnred a plan for the reorganization
of the Treasury Department. The
policy adopted by-Secretary Manning
has been pnrsoed by Secretary
Fairchifd, namely; of patting the redemption
of Government bonds to the
doable ase of reducing the national
debt and also regulating the money
market. Within the last few weeks
the rate for short loanB has changed
from two to three per cent to three
timeR those nnmbers. Every lender
knows that the Federal Depositories
stand open for the redemption of
bonds whenever and by whomsoever
they may be presnted, so by that
means millions of dollars may be
released and circulate tbroogh the
varit-ns channels of trade.
Ia anticipation of the building of
the Natiop^lJuihease-i?it&tjyft*jalMB
--etrve-rree'n prepared to^^-a adp'
termination of its position within the
site fixed by Congress, care being
taken to keep inportant lines of view
open to present both the Library and
Capitol to advantage, secure convenient
approaches and connections
by walks and wbeelways, and while
enlarging the Capitol grounds to include
the Library, to preserve, as far
as practicable, all the advantages
presented.
The soldiers seem to thrive under
Cleveland's administration. The
Civil Service Commission, a majority
of whom are Democrats, have modi
fied their rales so" as to give precedence
to Union veterans in the
matter of appointments. This action
was taken the very day that John
Sherman, in a partisan stomp speech,
i was denouncing the Administration
for taming its back on the old
I soldiers.
The colored people's exhibition
j was formally opened yesterday at
I fonr o clock. To-day the various
! committees in charge were busily j
engaged receiving exhibits, which are
comiDg in very rapidly. There was
a fair attendance at the hall, a large
pfoportion of the visitors being white
people, who were surprised and
. interested in the exhibits of the
skill and genius of the colored people.
A large attendance is expected
to-Digbt and preparations have been
made to accommodate the visitors.
1 Although the fair is a creditable
1 success, it must not be understood
1 that this is by any means the first of
1 its kind, nor the greatest, as some
; papers have presented. In North
i Carolina there is annually held a
. colored peoples's fair, which is
( | wonderful in the variety and ex;
j cellence of its exhibits and also in the
. j success that attends it. "People
) | should remember," said Mr Lamar,
. j "that one of the best and most
successful departments of the New
Orleans Exposition was that devoted
" j to the colored people. It was
* ' " - r? i_? Ti
' : presided over ny ex-oenaior uruue,
" a id was a revelation to those who
1 were fortunate enough to see it.
^ ; There were exhibits from every State
> i and Territory, and they would have
- | done honor to the white people of
! those States and Territories. It was
j a great disillusion to . people who
r ; think that the colored people are
not progressive." D.
Presideut Cloveland has been se
verely criticised for not taking official
notice of the earthquake misforluues
s ' of Charleston. It is also stated that
3 j neither Senators Hampton or Butler
y havo written expressions of sympathy
or sent contributions.

Eeply to Hen. S. P. Wingard, Chairman,
&c.
[For the Lexington Dispatch.
Willingly would I refrain from
making aDy more "great complaint"
and "grave insinuation" against the
; Executive Committee, but the neces!
sity is upon me, prompted thereunto
j by a sense of duty I canuot do otherj
wise. For the public weal I write,
j and not to gratify personal feeling or
i a spirit of fault-finding. And whilst
I disclaim any intention of casting
unjust reflections upon your honorable
body or any member of it, never
j theless, what I have written, I have
written; and whatever I may feal to
be my daty to write, I shall write. I
am not to be deterred by your insinuation
that I am a fault-finder. In
my humble opinion the Executive
Committee have erred, and erred
egreqiously. However, this only confirms
the correctness of the old adage
about the errors of great men. Upon
the question of authority, I said,
and still say, it was not transmissible.
Was it"transferred" by the convention
to the Executive Committee ? This
brings us to the resolution which you
claim effected the transfer. You are
not mistaken about my being a member
of the convention, I was; and
therefore know whereof I speak when
I say, said resolution was not unanimously
passed; for, I well remember,
some of n8 voted sol very emphatically.
Now, a few words about the
"tiresome discussion," which preceded
the passage of this resolution;
which "tiresome discussion," be it
known, was not upon this resolution
at all, for it was sprnDg and pushed
(without allowing any discussion) for
the purpose of cutting short the
"tiresome discussion" of the question
of so amending the primary plan as
to secure an honest, Democratic
nomination. Some did not want
this, and to them the discussion no
doubt became very "tiresome."
What! Did not want an honest
Democratic nomination ? Well, that's
what I said, and I will stick to it?so
"Lay on Macduff!" Did the passage
of this resolution accomplish the
transfer of authority? No; for it
was wrong and undemocratic in principle;
and all of the acts of the Executive
Committee under this resolution
are illegal, and therefore null and
void?null and void , in principle,
though practiced in the primary election,
and thereby the end sought was
attained; namely: the votiDg of Radicals,
Greenbackers, Scalawags and
id-genus omne.^ Do not become offended
when I tell you that my indignation
knew no bounds at the
outrageous insult heaped upon my
gray head by requiring me with uplifted
hand to afflrm ' that I wonld
vote the Democratic ticket at thef'
next general election. Did I ever
vote any other ticket ? You suspected
that I would, did you ? No;
you say. Then why did you, by rej__
fc\- , . ? w v%b,
me among the doubtful ? The doubt,
which you thereby cast upon me, I
hurl back to the very center of the
brain or brains from, whence it emanated.
Do you know that the veriest
Radical in this whole country came
to the po 118, took that oath, and voted.
Now, to be numbered among such?
oh, my ! oh, my! You beg to be excused
by saying, "we did to the best
