THE difference between the two domi-
nlnt political parties is well illustrated
by an esteemed cotemporary-th New
York elections of last year and this be-

Governor because he was nominated
through bad methods; the Democrats in
So defeated an excellent candidate for
secretary of state because he don't drink
liquor!

filled it. The Republican party was in
need of medicine and they furnished it.
Perhaps it was taking a mean advantage
of their ignorance, but 50 it is. They
are simply drugs; which are rejected as
soon as the temporary occasion fer their
use passes.
Philadelphia Record Qnd.): A cores
pondent Of the Lancaster inte}'igeHr6T,
having suggested that the failure to rally
the Democratic vote in Philadelphia was
due to the fact that there was lack of
Democratic newspapers in the city, the
editor OF that paper senSibly says: 1--WE
do not believe that an organ per Sc IS of
any benefit at all to a party, though
newspaper may be of great value - it.
1t may be a comfort to a Democrat to
read journal that defend. Democratic
men and deeds, right or wrong, yet it
does not make his party votes but dis
eliminating journal, which is Intelligent
enough to know the right when it sees
it when it knows it, cannot fail to COM
mand the ear and convince the reason of
the good citizen of every party, What X
party wants is to be put in power when
it is right: and what it needs is to be put
out W hen it is wrong. When it is blessed
with leaders, orators and organs which
will proclaim this, and let their party
live or die under it, it will be blessed, in
deed, and may hope for eternal life"
Cincinnati Ne,cs-J0uraaI (Dem.): Mr..
Randall is beautiful specimen of a
Democrat, to be sure. Here, upon the
eve of the meeting of Congress, himself
a candidate for speaker, it leaks out and
goes broadcast that he is down with
govt. 1t is hardly necessary for us to
enter into any argument or array of facts
to prove that no Democrat can have
govt. The democratic party has been
.hungcred and thirsty too many long
weary years for any member of that
party to have govt. What must be the

! Democrat and asks for a place of high
| trust when he is detected of enjoying in
the solitude of his own home quiet
case of bloated Pennsylvania protected
govt, of the Kelley Carey school? We
are ashamed Of Nj. Randall. We shall
expect him to try to explain it away as a
case of ordinary Democratic plebeian
rheumatism, but it won't do. He has
been detected and exposed. After this,
upon the general principle that a man
with the govt can't be a Democrat, Mr..
Randall must go.
SCARCELY day passes that the news
papers do not tell a story of real life as
full of surprising incidents as a sensa-
tioral writer could pack Il novel. Take
the mysterious tragedy reported from
little village in Maine for instance. Six
years ago tramp named Barrows
stopped at the house of farmer named
| Cate, and became his ''hired man.
| When Cate died the widow employed
|
he became ambitious to step into Gates
shoes, and proposed marriage to his
'boss." She refused his Offer where
upon he fired a revolver at her, and in
running away she fell and broke her leg.
Barrows thought he had killed her, and
| so shot himself in the breast. He recov-
| cred and had to serve a sentence in jail
| for his offense. But the shooting seemed
| to warm Mrs Gates heart toward her
would be murderer. She refused to aP-
pear against him at the trial, and soon
after lie got out of Jail she married him.
The strangely matched pair have lived
| happily to all appearances ever since,
until the other evening Barrows was
mysteriously shot in the barn, and died
without casting any light on the trag
edv. Truth is indeed stranger than fic-
ton, even in steady going New En-
gland community.
