During the month of August the
principal of the national debt has been
reduced over twelve millions of dol
lars. This thing has been going on
about as long as the Democratic party
can stand it, and they want a change.
The South needs the money "to re-
cover from the devastating effects OF
the cruel war" Republican admins
tration is applying every available
dollar to the reduction of the debt,
thus relieving the nation from the
burdens of a heavy annual interest ac-
count. Let the Democrats once come
into power and they will inaugurate a
change that will put a sudden stop to
the monthly reductions in the
national debt.

"A Columbus, Ohio, correspondent
speaking of the Republican campaign
in that State says: There has been
one thing noticeable, and that is the
abandonment of setting up claims of
large majorities and manufacturing a
big noise by the free use of Chinese
gongs and attractive drum major uni
forms, which is so taken with the
small boy. In the past a great deal of
money has been squandered in this
manner but this year Chairman Nash
has undertaken new mode of con-
Quoting the affairs of the campaign by
substituting hard, energetic work in
every ward, township and school
district in the State. The result of
such work is of the most satisfactory
character, and the information re-
ceived from every county and school
district is regarded by the committee
as most encouraging in every re-
spect.'

The Jacksonville SIN and Press
says that Northern Republican papers
do Florida great injustice in CHASING
it with the solid South. 1t claims
that Florida has the same right TO be
classed as a Republican State as New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut or
Indiana, and that with reasonable as
sistance from the North it may be
counted upon as for Garfield. There
is only one thing, says the San and
Press, which the Republicans of
Florida have reason to fear, and that
is that fraud will prevail against an
honest Republican majority" That
may occur now as it did two years
ago, but there is an improved public
sentiment in Florida-a a sentiment in
favor of a fair election and a fair
count, and men who may feel dis
position to engage in election frauds
are beginning to have Il wholesome
fear of the Courts,

e. V. Smalley, writing from
Maine to the New York Tribune, says:
lone often hears outside of Maine
that Senator Blaine is unpopular at
home, and that his leadership, brilli-
ant and able though lie be-. has driven
Republicans into the Greenback party
Neither last year nor this have I seen
or heard anything in the state to give
ground for such an opinion. Blaine's
popularity here SCENE to be greater
than ever. Last night at a meeting
in this town, held in gunshot of the
Senator's house, the bare incidental
mention of his name in q speech by
Senator Allison of Iowa brought pro-
lopged applause from the audience
A public man is always least popular
in his own town, where people are too
familiar with him to indulge in hero
worship, however much they may
esteem him. When n mans neighbors
interrupt dispassionate argument to
cheer besause his name is pronounced,
there could not bea much better evil
dence of their good feeling toward him.
