at the Presidential election would be
almost assured.-DeIdware Democrat.
The people of other states have looked

| qusntly no fair exponent of the general
sentiment OF the country.

The editor of the Philadelphia Times
writing from Ohio, attributes the defeat
the Republicans to the reduction Of til,
duty Ola wool AZ the last session Of Con
Rress, at which the wool growers, Ii,
alleges, were dissatisfied. This il til,
sllliest r ason We have heard given foi
the result in Ohio. The wool grower
would doubtless have preferred the dut,
} on their product to remain unchanged
but they knew that their representative
in Congress did all they could to proven
) reduction, while Democrats favored gen
orally greater modification of the entir
tariff list. Mr.. Mcclure lives in Stat
that favors greatest protection, and is op
posed to the relist Of the people by re-
duction OF taxation, and is seeking t
make the impression upou the COUNT r,
that reduction of tariff rates is uu
pOpular.-Douer Deiauarean.
