THE st. Louis Republican has been
making study of Ohio politics. It dis.
plays quantity Of accurate information
surprising for paper which has not
even had the advantage Of being "born
in Ohio"
"Some years ago the Ohio Democrats
nominated old Bill Allen for Governor.
A howl was then set up that Bourbon
ism barnsCled the party. Republicans
said the leadership of the party could
not apprshend that the people were
tired Of mere politicians, and we're think
ing Of their material interests. But old
Bill Allen was elected Later was nomi-
mated R. M. Bishop, business man, for
Governor. Then it WAS these Republic
cans were shocked because all the old
leaders were put aside for one not
trained in public life. But Bishop was
elected. This year another business
man is nominated, and again Republic
cans are shocked that Ohio Democrats
should have passed by all the politicians
again and taken practical man of emin.
enCe in the field of production. His
Democracy is not Of long enough stand
ing either. Do they forget that they
nominated Grant for the highest Office
in their gift before he ever voted Re-
publican ticket at allP That they hur.
ried up their Convention for fear the
Democrats would nominate him first 2
The probability is Mr.. Bookws!ter will
become Governor Bookwalter by the
choice Of the people of Ohio, and that
he will make an excellent Executive"

The speech of Senator Dawes Of Mas.
sachusetts, in the United States Senate
over a year ago, on the bill to provide
for tariff commission with a view to
tariff reform, will be found on the first
page of this paper. 1t will be seen that
the distinguished Republican Senator
from Massachusetts admits the need of
tariff reform. When the brawling pro-
tective tarifite hereabouts talk about
the tariff, ask them if they have read
Senator Dawes on the necessity Of tariff
reform. When those tools of monopoly
and plunder, like Congressman McKin.
ley, are bowling their senseless stereo-
typed story of protection" refer them
too to Senator Dawes. Let our friends
read and preserve this speech for future
reference. The Democracy of Ohio are
in favor of revision and reform, with a
view of doing justice to all interests and
to all departments of labor. This is what
monopolists do not want. They want
the privilege of plundering others.

Are only revived Federal mummies you see;

day, which he was working for political
purpose, has dropped out of sight. Gov.

the Presidents death, wants day Of
