"Vote for Garfield, and you will
ave better wages" is what the Re-
ublican bosses said to men two years
go. Now we hear of strikes and ru3
nors of strikes and the outlook for
10Th labor and capital ID anything
nut cheerful. Is this thesprosperity
he bosses promised?
Col.-Harris ex-P robateJudge of
PEBBLE county, is favorably mention
ID as Republican candidate for
5ongress.-We would as soon Col.
Harris be the opponent candidate as
any man living in the District, and
If q Republican is to be elected, we
would be as well pleased with him
rs ..any other man,. But what does

the party is ~clamoring for extra Sun

Il is said that even the truly good
Deacon Richard Smith, of the Gin.
einnati Gazette, went back on the
temperance cause at the Republican
State Convention. We would as soon
believe that Mr.. Charles didn't brand
the Germans as s.beer-guzzlers,'
"paupers," Criminals and "hood.
lums," as to credit the report against
the good Deacon.

The Sandusky Register Republi
can ridicules the Republican Stat,
platform, and says it is full of "glit
tering generalities," and was mad
to deceive voters, but the object ii
too thin and transparent. The de
cent Republicans in every quartz
are splitting upon the cowardly &C
tions of their Convention and its de
ceitful and hypocritical platform.
