SIGN.

There is a town in the State of New York which
polls LOG votes. During Gen. Jacksons administra-
ton, and at the election Of Mr.. Van Buren,, every
vote was given for the regular party candidate
Thcy prided themselves in being unanimous in the
support Of what they honestly regarded as the true
democratic policy, as il was presented to them by
Gen. Jackson, and promised BY Mr. Van Buren,. At
the last fall election the administration candidate
ceived every vote bul3 in the town. Since the
recent measures Of the administration have been
planned TO the country, majority Of these unchange
able and incorrnpible Republicans have refused to
vote for men who have thus proven themselves re-
creant to their pledges and unfai,hul to the country
Fourteen opposition papers have been subscribed for
and szty Of these have determined TO cast their
votes In manner best calculated drive the admin
stration party from the places they have disgraced
This striking illustration Of the mighty revolu-
ton going on in all paris of the country. Wherever
the people are intelligent enough to understand the
nature Of our Government and to appreciate its close
relation 10 The interests OF the country, there will
they be found taking their invincble stand against
the folly, the madness, the bgotry, the intolerance.
the misrule, he ignorance, the incompetency, the
blindness and the federalism OF the party in power
May they not relax step, one nerve until the
Government, is restored to its original purity, and The
country is assured Of peace and prosperity and per-
petuiiy TO its union and constitution.

The Lowell Advertiser saws !.

The Madisonian says the present administration has
forfeited all title confidence and is longer worthy
Of support, and yet pre.ends TO be democratic paper
Is there any thing SO strange in this. when
the administration has adopted the Federal
measure that was brought forward in 1884, by
a Federalist, and as such denounced then by
the Democracy Also, when the leading
supporters Of the administration men are such
old Federalists rs James Buchanan, who, in
1878, denounced Jefferson and Madison as
g degenerate successors Of Westinghouse
Ruel Williams, who, in 1912, assisted in
burning James Madison in efiigy-as Garrett
p. Wall, who recently declared he always has
been and still is Federalist-and Henry
Hubbard, who but few years since, was an
open and declared Federalist
We could name many others who were born
and bred old Federalists, who are now fore
most in supporting the administration, and
find themselves at home, because its measures
are Federal.
We do not 60 with such men, nor support
such measures.

MR.. GARLAND OF VIRGINIA.

We ask the particular attention Of our rea-
ders to the able and complete refutation Of
the misrepresentation in relation to this gen.
tIeman, contained in the speech Of Mr.. Dun
CAN, Of Ohio purporting to have been deli
vered on the last night of the session the
greater part Of which was evidently written
outJor him by some other person or persons.
The false assertions, now so clearly proved
by Mr. Garland, shows the character of much
more of that trade called speech. We shall
have something to say to it ourselves ere
long.

WHO WASTED THE CLOSE OF THE SEES
SION IN SPEECH-MAKING.

SION IN SAFEGUARDING.
The Globe is constantly harping upon the
time Of the House near the close of the ses-
sion being wasted in speech making. Its own
columns show who had full share 10 that mat
ter.
In the Globe OF the 9th ultimo, we find a
speech Of Mr.. Duncan of Ohio, occupying
ten columns and half Of that large sheet,
headed thus |" In ihe House Of Representa-
fires, July 3, 1898, on the bill to establish an
Independent Treasury"
In the Globe of the 18th ultimo, we find
another speech Of Mr.. DUNCAN. Of Ohio. oc-
cupying twelve columns and a-half, headed
thus /. In The House Of Representatives., July
7. ls3s-on the bill making appropriations
for harbors, and in reply to the speech of Mr..
BoSD ofOhio."
Now here are two speeches Of enormous
length, purporting to have been delivered, the
one only four nights before the close Of the
session, and the other on the last night Of the
session. on which any business was done ];
both by Mr.. DUNCAN, of Ohio

THE GLOBE MONOPOLY.

No paper in the country has been so loud
and vehement in denouncing monopoles as
the Globe, from the moment Of its establish
ment down to the present time. Yet no man
in the country has strove harder to obtain a
monopoly than the editor Of that paper.
We have heard it stated as fact that, he
obtained from General jackson an imperative
order to all the Executive departments to
give him their entire printing.
II appears that in 1882 and 1883, those departments
paid the Globe establishment for printing S47,A5
In 1884 and IS, 40,473
In 1885 and '36, up to September, 24,3sl
a. slla,O99
Add to this the amount paid as printers
to the 24th Congress for the House of
Representatives, " !. lO5,9l4
$2lsyOl3
Making in round sum- say $4,000.
How much they have received as printers
to the Senate during the last session, we have
not the means Of ascertaining al present, but
probably large sum, as there was no stint
in ordering documents to be printed by that
body.
With all this patronage bestowed on it, all
will recollect the effort made by the Globe to
obtain the printing Of the House at the com
mencement Of the extra session. 1t was IN
successful We were fortunate enough to be
elected the printer. For that, we are de-
nounced by the Globe, and those of our friends
who voted for us have been mathematical
and ostracized by it.
Until recently, the Globe has not probably
had, as formerly, the whole of the printing Of
the Executive Departments for it is under
stood, that when the Democratic Review was
about being established, that branch Of IFS re-
venue was resigned up to the conductors Of
that work per force, no doubt.

man has written to the Executive Depart

Representatives from South Carolina.
A writer in the Columbia Telescope, in re-
ference to their disregarding the instructions
Of the Legislature Of their State, in the vote

makes the following scrptural comparison:
"The story Of Babylonish captivity is familiar,

THE TRUE POLICY OF THE CoNsERvA-
TIVES

Within few days past, we have received
letters from friends in various quarters Of the
Union, the object Of which is to consult as
to the course the CONSERVATIVES ought to
pursue. They state furthermore that, in ma
ny places they arc importuned, in some to act
with the Wings, and others to act with the
Loco-focos.
The Conservatives now hold the balance Of
power, the most enviable position party cun
aspire to. They can gain nothing by joining
either party, but lose every thing.
In our opinion, the true policy for the Con-
servativcs TO pursue, is to remain FIRM as they
are: adhering to the old land marks Of prin-
ciple and party, as practiced in 1898. by JEFF
fcrson and Madison. By SO doing, they viii be
the nucleus around which the liberal and tole-
rant Of both the old parties will rally, and ere
long become the dominant party. Liberalism
and ultrasm cannot long go together. There
are Conservative Wings as well Us Democrats.
So, also, there are Ultra Wigs as well as
Uitra Democrats or Loco.ioco These ex-
tremes of the two parties will ere long unite,
and the cognomen Of parties will thereafter be
Conservatives or Liberals on the one side, and
Ultra Destruciires or Loco: focoes on the
other.
We therefore again counsel our Conserva-
tive friends in every quarter, to preserve their
present position, and continue to hold the ba-
lance Of power, and when they do employ It,
do SO for the cause Of their COUNTRY, in place
OF PARTY. Follow the noble example set
them by the fourteen Conservatives in Con-
gress, when voting against the Sub treasury.
The cause ofthe Conservatives is an honest
one, founded on principle alone, and must and
will prevail.

ground il has taken on the occasion, which
will be found in our paper Of to-day.
That paper was the Underwriting supporter
Of General jackson, and Of MIR. Van Buren,,
until recently. His destructive measures and
btreasury system. as will be seen, has
driven il from giving him any farther support.
In the course il has adopted, we are gratified
to learn, il is strongly supported in Ohio.
