POLITICAL EXTRACTS.

Such demagoguesa as West,-PhiLG, Bull
etin, Rep.
Had Mr.. West stumbled over some OBJ
struCtion in the street that would have
been referred to the fact OIL his physical
blindness. But when a candidate stun.
bles through the platform upon which he
is placed, to what shall it be referred2-
PhitG. North american Rep.
That Judge West made serious mis-
take in his Cleveland speech, his most
devoted friends are forced to admit, and
the sooner he endeayors to clear away the
effect of that speech, the better it will be
for him. There is no question that it has
seriously affected his chances of election
and has driven from his support many
persons who would have voted for him
in October. In fact, the party will lose
more votes from this cause than it will
lose by dissent from Hayes Southern
policy Columbus Dispatch, Rep.
Stanley Mathews is going to have the
hardest time any one ever had to make
people think he isn't demagOgue oil
the cheapest kind.-Phild. Times,
The New Yorker, Mcdonnell, preach
ing to the loafers and rufians of Balti'
more the unadulterated gospel of com
munism, ought not to excite astonish
ment after the Ohio display of Judge
West. There can be no hating between
right and wrong, between lawlesness and
authority, between the peace of well or
ganized society and the anarchy Of Com
lnune. And when a man holding Judge
Vests position, for the sake OF obtaining
votes, assails the principles which under
lie the natural relations of capital and la'
Dor, the appearance Of men Of the style
ofMr. Mcdonnell on the scene follows as
matter of course.-N. Y. Times.
The Montgomery, Ala. advertiser recalls
this interesting fact In connection with
the labor troubles: "When Governor
Nichols, of Louisiana, with his gallant
people stood up .manfully contending fol
their rights, the commander-in-chief Of
this Pennsylvania militia, Hartfrant, off
cially offered the president" the services
of $4,000 or more troops with which to
wipe out the "White League" Wiser
counsels prevailed and they were not &C.
cepted. Had they been, and had they
acted as they did at Pittsburgh, where
their "grace was only their heels" they
would not have proved very formidable
obstacles to the final success of Governor
Nichols. But the result to the country
would have been disastrous"
There is troublefor Hayes in Columbus
also. An anti-Hayes meeting was held
in the State Capital last week, and adopt
ed resolutions denouncing the Southern
policy of Mr.. Hayes in language strong
and exceedingly frank, Some prominent
Republicans were active in the matter
and the meeting was one of the "move,
ments" that are the preface to the dis.
comfture or dissolution of the Republi.
can party.
We said few days ago that Judge
West, the Republican nominee for Gov
ernor of Ohio, was representative o.

ty. We take that back-withdraw it
Either Judge West never was such a man
as he was commonly supposed, or else he
has been completely thrown off his bal
lance by the unexpectedly large demands
that have Just been made upon his re-
sources ofstatemanship.-Ph Phita. Telegraph
Rep.
We see it stated that the Republican
candidate for Governor of Ohio is almost
blind. 1t would be more advantageous
to the party if he were dumb, judging
from the almost idiotic gabbling he has
INDUCED in lately in regard to finances
and the currency. He should stop talk
ing. He never opens his mouth but he
puts his foot in it.-N. Y Commercial, Rep
The Republican candidate for Cover.
nor of Ohio says he "holds no railroad
bonds nor railroad stocks" nor "matured
government bonds" that he "never did
and never expects to-" 1t is beautiful
sentiment. Don't let any of us hold
them. And then let's all brag of it. "I'm
poor man, and my father was cooper,
said an opponent Of Tom Marshall upon
one occasion. Doubtless your father was
cooper" replied Tom, "but he put q
mighty poor head onto one of his whisky
barrels."-N. Y Tribune.
