Keep the Confidence of the People

Keep the Confidence of the People.
Our interest in the cause of reform prompts US
to leave nothing unsaid that may exert any in
huence in promoting that idea and aid in the
good work that the people expect from their new
ly elected representatives. The vote shows that
there were great many people at the polls On
the I'd of November in this county who have not
been in the habit of voting They went because
they knew reform was needed They had conf
dence in the agents the Reform party selected to
inaugurate the movement They aided in the
election of those agents. They expect those
agents to carry into practical working a great
many ideas that are essential to reform. This
places upon them weighty responsibility. The
people who used their exertons in behalf of the
movement desire that certain principles shall be
kept in view in order that no detriment be done
to the cause. They will expect the selection for
positions only those who enjoy the confidence oi
the Reformers and command the respect of the
community, irrespective of party predictions.
If the confidence of the people in the movement
is once destroyed their support will be withdrawn
from those who have been chosen to represent
them. Care must be taken that those who gave
the cause and the ticket wet blanket when they

the cause that they would be powerless to do other
wise. The chief danger tv the cause of reform
comes now from this source. And it is the duty
of every good Reformer to keep the chosen rep

posted concerning the character and movements
Of this class Of people. Fellows whose vote none
could tell but themselves and which they did not
venture to tell until after the result was decided
and which would have been on the other side if
the resalt had gone that way, are busy in max
ing out their claims to positions Of profit and in
fuence. This is the most dangerous class Of peo-
pie to the movement. 1t is this class in whom
the people have no confidence. And the eleva-
ten of this class Of anxious gentlemen to posi-
tions will give the enterprise the most ssvere
shock that can be given it.
There are in the Reform party ample talent,
character and integrity to fill the positions with
credit to the appointed and appointing power,
and the selections can be made to meet with gen.
eral approval. But one or two obnoxious selec-
tions will do the movement more injury than can
De repaired by score of frst-csss selectious.-
Let US see then that there is no mistake made by
injudicious selections of obnoxious fellows whose
chief virtue is their impudence in pushing them
selves upon the party for their own selfish pur-
poses.

Speakers chair to the floor. Although the ro =.
turns from the elections are not complete, it is

"Can Catholic, we repeat, refuse to the Church

as1- On Saturday afternoon of last week SEN
ator Orris S. Ferry, of Connecticut, departed
this life at his home in Eorwalk His disease
was softening of the spinal marrow, a malady
from which he has been severe sufferer for
several years. About this time last year his
complaint assumed an alarming condition, but
he did not relax his labors in attending to his
duties in the Senate chamber. He was a ma
tive of Connecticut born in 1923, graduated at
Yale College and entered political life in 1856,
by an election to the State Senate In 1859 he
was sent to Congress. He entered the army at
the beginning of the war and came out as q
Brigadier General. He was elected to the
United States Senate in 1865, and was re elect
ed in 1873, by a coalition of the Democrats
with the boiling Republicans. His devoted
integrity to the patriotic impulses of his heart,
his readiness in debate, his fluent, cogent STYLE
of argument made him one of the most infiu-
entail members upon the floor of the Senate.

LOCAL OFrIoN.-The Cambridge (Md.) News
speaking of the local option law, which prevails il
several Of the districts of Dorchester and Other
counties, says:
"Our readers may rest assured that there never
was subject legislated upon and introduced in.
to politics SO odious TO professional politicians as
local OR anti-local option. They know not how ia
trim their sails so as to avoid back flaw that may
engulf them before they know their danger. The
recent election has clearly demonstrated the fac,
that 5ths of the voters ofeach party hold stron.
ger allegiance to their party than to local or anti
local option but the parties are so evenly divi-
ded thst tenth part Of the voters of either thrown
to the other side will always carry the election
so that the success of candidates having an objec-
tiOnable record jealous local or anti-local op-
tionists will no most doubtful. This state of af-
fairs will produce the happy result of gradually
killing off faaaticsm on both sides, and men
will be led to think calmly on the subject and
and coolly calculate the good or evil produced
by this law"

The Question of ,16.

The chief thing that will agitate the political |
chaldron next year in the Presidential fght will
be the currency question as we see it now. The
question will be whether we shall contract or ex-
pand the volume of the currency that is now the
medium through which the business OF the coun-
try is transacted. The Democratic party this
year has in majority Of the States declared in
their platforms Of principles for an increase Of
currency, and in most Of the other States it has
been non-committal 1t has lodged the question
and attempted to delude the people by evasve
enunciations.
The Republicans have planted themselves
squarely upon platform Of contraction OF the
currency and speedy return to specie basis
consistent with the business interests OF the coun-
try. This has been the attitude assumed in most
of the States. 1t is true that in some few States
the resolutions have net been as emphatic and
outspoken as we would wish, but the result OF
the elections show that the confidence Of the peo-
pie in the honesty and integrity of the Repuoli-
can party is still unshaken. States that went
against us by large majority last year gave us
good maiorities this year, and the majority against
us in other States has been largely reduced on
even an increased vote. The vote this year Is
clear indication that that Of last year was no svi
dence that the votes who made temporary
change in the political complexion of the country
intended that change 10 be permanent.
The question involves the best principle Of oul
nature. 1t involves an appeal to our honesty
1t touches those principles of integrity that lie
the foundation of the existence Of civil commanl
ties. We know that there are some folks VIII
would consider themselves insulted if it were in
: timated to them that they were dishonest becaus
they should advocate an increase of the currency
on US partial or complete reputation of the ma
tional debt they would be forced to acknowledg
that the nation would be dishonest to its cred
tors And il the nation takes a dishonest STEP
every man in the land who by his voice aids o
sanctions it shoulders part of the responsibility
and becomes tainted with dishonesty to that ez
tent. Expansion will jeopardize the redemptio
of the United States bonds. The bonds repre-
sent an honest debt The nations wealth
pledged to their payment. Nothing but tn
grossest dishonesty can secure the refusal of hei
payment to the uttermost farthing. Repudiat
and thousands of widows and orphans through
out the land will be penniless. 1t would be a
everlasting disgrace to the American name. Tn
Democracy is committed to imitation and the Re
pubicans to contraction. We have an abidR
confidence in the integrity of the American pee
pie and we believe the American people have il
