A big donkey who flops his elongated ears in
the Cincinnati Commercial, says that the Lead
ing Democrats OF Ohio are disgusted to think
that the late national convention permitted
two such beautiful dreamers as Henry Waiter
son and Jos. Pulitzer to insert the tariff plank
in their platform. A close study of Democrat
ic platforms OF late years will reveal the fact
that "a tariff for revenue only" is one Of the
established, historic tenets of the party The
leading Democrats of Ohio, who seem to be in
need of guardian, deserve the defeat which
recently befel them for their cowardice If
they had explained to the Ohio idiots the real
meaning of a tariff for revenue only they
might have won some votes for their party.
