Our Tar Heel contemporary might have eoine onl openly and said what it meant to iin| ly that Senator Tillman is a misfit. Of course it is a matter of much regret to South ( arolininns that they do not find it eonvt nient or cxiit1client to try to please t lie Charlotte < >bserviT in selec ting their national reprc-sentat ives. To one I 7 miles away, it appears that Tho Observer's chief objections to Senator Tillman lie in tin1 fact that he is a I Democrat?from the tip of his toes to the crown of his head that lie! refuses to acknowledge IJ rover Cleveland as the chief nigh priest j of Dcinooracy, and that lit; does not understand why any loyal pirty man who enters a Democratic primary should falter at taking an oath to support the nominees. ? - ?
