There was quite q respectable gather

introduced with a grand hurrah. Il

began:
"As great and grand asis our eoun-

This was considered pretty good, and
he was given three cheers and tiger.

Here there were yelIs, whOOps, cat

melted away like frosted cake At a pic

like most other nations, have fashions
of their own, and adopt very primitive
costumes. In the towns, however, they
are compelled to wear clothes. As the
manner Of wearing them is lefl 10 their
discretion, each Kafir follows bis own
taste.
A tall hal and a shirt are full dress

But the laughable part Of the per-

diana will render "a verdict of so de-
cisive character as to confound the
enemies of constitutional government.
In Ohio the Republican leaders are
alarmed and panic stricken although
it is difficult to divine the cause. The
Democratic canvass there has been
quietly and noiselessly conducted by
congressional districts and there has
been no special effort put forth by the
State committee, but for some reason
or other, the Republican leaders have
beaten the long roll and hoisted the
signal of distress. The greatest dan
ger to the Republican ticket appears
from their own statements to be the
apathy and Indifference of the people
to the success Of Garfield, and in some
localities actual hostility TO him. The
latter is especially the case in Gar
fields own congressional district and
here the greatest efforts have been put
forth within the last few days. Conk.
ling, New York's imperious Senator.
flanked by Grant and Logan, has been
calling the wayward Republicans of
the Western Reserve from their re-
membrance of Garfle!d's shortcomings
as a Congressman. Blaine's fog horn
is family heard through the mist of
fusion plurality in Maine and Carl
Schurz is making speeches in German
for 1929 a night. If the Republican
State ticket is not saved by all these
appliances the reverse will be a seri.
Gus one indeed. Altogether the pros.
poets of the friends of good govern.
ment and peace between the sections
are more than flattering. If all the
signsiof the times do not fail We will
mingle our congratulations with those
of the numerous readers of the Dem
ocRAr next week over a splendid Dem
ocrahc triumph in Indiana and
pracieal success in Ohio.

lT will be well to remember now
that the most potent argument ad-
vanced in favor of the reelection of
President Grant in 1872, was that a
change Of administration would un-
settle values and seriously disarrange
the business Of the country. Then,
as now, the fears of the capitalists
were cunningly played upon, and
then, as now, they rushed frantically
to the front with lavish contributions
Of money which was swelled into a
vast corruption fund with which to
avert the threatened change. And it
will certainly not be forgotten that
the election of General Grant was
closely followed by the most gigantic
financial upheaval of which we have
any record. The most powerful and
most trusted banking institutions in
the land were swept from existence
and their fall beggared hundreds Of
thousands of the very capitalists who
clamored most loudly against a change.
Jay Cooke q Co, Henry Clews d Co.
and others who were most closely al
lied with those in power were the
most conspicuous of the bankers whose
failure entailed the greatest degree of
suffering and distress among the peo-
pie. All classes and all sections felt
the iron hand of this unparalleled
calamity, and it is well to remember
that Cook and Clews were among the
heaviest of the subscribers to the fund
which was TO be used to prevent a
change, and thus insure further lease
of prosperity TO the business interests
of the country. The lesson taught in
1872 will not be unheeded now and
the demagogues who are again endeav-
oring TO frighten timid capitalists will
discover that the conservative bust
ness men of the country understand
that our prosperity exists rather in
spite of a Republican administration
than from its aid.

also true that he took a prominent

JUDGE KELLEY, in his recent speech
IN Philadelphia, accepting the Re
publican nomination for Congress in
bis district, complains that the Cob
den Club is now expending large
amount Of money in the printing and
distribution of free trade phamphlets
In this country. Well, that is the
business of the free traders, however
annoying It may be to have our own
peculiar views interfered with from
abroad. But has il occurred to Judge
Kelley and the advocates Of protec-
lion that they are doing directly more
% advance free trade theories than
could be accomplished by the circu-
lation of foreign phamphlets by the
support they give to a member of the
Cobden Club for President of the

Congress proves that he is in full ac-
cord with the views of his club. BE

IN Ohio and other parts of the
West, the Republicans urge the elec-
bon of Garfield on the ground that he
is Free Trader, while in Pcnnsylva-
MIA he is presented as Protective
Tariff man. The Republicans in the
West are consistent because they have
Gen. Garfeld's public record to sus-
tain them. In Pennsylvania they are
hypocritical and present him as Pro-
tective Tariff man, in the face of this
record, to deceive the thoughtless and
sininformed.
