No ONE with any regard for truth
will claim that the Republican party is
favorable to refOrm.-DEMOCRAT.
Not the kind of reform, certainly, that
comes clad in the powerful smelling
garments of the Democracy. Yet it is
favorable to refOrm.-RepositOry.
Star route Dorsey and Brady reform is
the only reform given the people by the
Republican sham party. Mckinley him
self is a model Republican, promising
one thing and doing the other. He
agreed with Laubie not to run for a
fourth term, but here he is. The Repub-
lican party is organized in the interest
of jobbers and plunderers. 1t is spOils
party and controlled by bosses. We
need not name the boss of the Eighteenth
district

OUR Republican friends will be under
the necessity of taking Mr.. Halstead, of
the Cincinnati Commercial, to task if
he, Republican, don't quit assailing
the Republicans of Iowa. The CONNER

vote lost by the Pond law. 1t is all talk,
but hear it:
"SOme of the temperance fanatics in
Iowa have made the discovery that Christ
was not as good man as Buddha. He
turned the water into wine at Cana,
and stood by while it was consumed by
the festive Governor of the city and his
comrades. Buddha abjured wine, and
forbade its use to his followers. There
is no word of condemnation of its use by
Christ. So these fanatics are disposed
to set up the Deity of the Brahmins in
place of the Deity of the Christians
They must be an exceedingly piOus
people"

The unanimous nominations of Judge
John Ireland last week, for Governor of
Texas, at a great Convention presided
over by Congressman John Hancock,
is good sign for harmony in that State,
which is tOlerably sure for $4,000 Demo-
cratic majority and a solid delegation of
eleven Democratic Congressman. GeOr-
gia did as well ins unanimously nOmi-
mating Alexander Fl. Stephens for Cover
nor, and completing the State ticket
with like unanimity, nominating the
brilliant Thomas Hardeman for Con-
gresham At Large. Stephens will prob
ably be elected by as near a unanimous
vote as was ever reached in this country
at popular election. The State will
send a solid delegation of ten Democratic
Congressman. In every Southern State
except Tennessee and Virginia, the
Democrats are united and confident, and
we have little doubt those States will be
found in line with the Democracy in
November

WE beg of our Citv Council not to 8,

WE beg of our City Council not to sell
out, or give away, the tax paying people
of Canton. They need not farm out to
any individual, whether or not he owns
an Opera House, the privilege to tax
travelling shows, and thus pocket three
or four hundred dollars a year. This
sum really belongs to the city treasury,
and under the present system, goes
there. The members of our Council
were elected to take care of the inter
ests of the people of Canton, not to be
the servile tools of the proprietor of an
Opera House. VERBUM SAP.

The Cincinnati Enquirer was not
specially considered at the Democratic
State Convention, as some journals seem
to imagine. The delegates in attend
ance performed their work in straight
forward business manner, with a view
to union, harmony and victory. The
platform is satisfactory, the candidates
acceptable, all DemOcrates seem well
pleased, and the Enquirer don't whine,
even if'the young men did not have
their own way.

THE n. Y. Herald puts it in this form

which about covers the case:
A political machine is an excellent
thing to haul an ambitious politician
up to a certain point. With the help OF
a machine an adrOit politician can rule
and OVerrule, a convention. He can
pack it by the influence of his patron.
age. He can make it do what he wants
no matter what anybody else wants
But when the machine has hauled the
candidate up to the election, then the
voters themselves have something to
say. The machine, however well man
aged, is not all powerful then, and that
is the reason why machine-made nOmi-
nations often tumble to pieces at the
polls, and machine-made candidates
sometimes ruin their party.
