THE following paragraph is from the Buffalo
Courier, the "home organ" Of Cleveland,
Democratic nominee for President:
''The Buffalo Courier has long been an adj
vocate of tariff reform; it belives that the
Democratic national platform, fairly inter-
preted, means such a reform; and it has no
sympathy with those Democratic journals or
politicians who affect to think that their party
is as much in favor of protection as the Re
publican party"
Mr. McDonald-again let us ask-what is
the Democratic position upon the tariff, that
question which, you said in $780, the Demo
Gratis would boldly take hold of? Here we
have Hon. William S. Holman going over In
diana talking tariff for protection and Mr.
W. D. Bynum talking for free trade. Both
are candidates for Congress, which body has

THE national Democratic campaign COM
mittee is said to be in a state Of disgust with
the penurious spirit manifested by their indie.
pendent allies, of whom they had hoped so
much. They, the Independents, express a de-
sire to have Cleveland elected, but "take it
out in talk, and when asked for contributions
of money signify belief that, with the lofty
views they entertain in regard to reform, they
should not be called upon to defray any of the
campaign expenses. AS yet, they have not
protested against the use of funds contributed
by Democrats. 'Cheap and nasty" is evil

AN assistant Democrat writes from Indian
apolis to the New York Post that the recent
Schuz meeting has had the effect of frighten-
ing the Blaine newspapers into silence, and
that they have since refrained from use of
the epithets, 'Pharisee," "mugwump
'pink-tea statesmen" ETC., when abiding to
the independents. Bless their dear little
hearts, it isn't fear which prompts this silence;
it is love- pure and simple. When it was dis
covered at the Schurz meeting what cute
kindergarten the indianapolis independent
party is, no man having the feelings of a
father could afterward find it in his heart TO
cast contumely upon them. When the little
dears grow up and become old enough to vote
it will be time enough to call them names. A
natural consideration for the weakness of
babes forbids such treatment now

The Cincinnati Enquirer, summing up the
political situation, says: FOur chances of sue

Republicans are lost" The Democrats know
who their allies are, whether the third party
temperance men will acknowledge it or not
There are many, very many sincere THIRD
party Prohibitionists; but we believe they are
doing their principle great injury by max
ing themselves the assistants to the Demo
cratic party to put into power an organization
openly and de6antly hostile to any sort of re-
striction upon the liquor traffic. The Demo
Gratis understand that the third-party Prohi-
bitionists are working in their interests; Dem

THERE is a striking contrast between the
spirit of the forty-three men of Falmouth,
who, in 1859, seven years before the revolu-
ton began, banded together and mutually
pledged themselves not to buy any goods of
British make, and that of the Democratic
party of to-day, which, according to Joseph
E. Mcdonald, would not buy goods of Ameri-
can manufacture eff they were not forced to-"
The men of Falmouth were of the patriots
who precipitated and who fought the revolu-
ton, the war that delivered American labor
from the thraldom of British domination and
oppression. We need more of that same
spirit of true Amereanism now. The Ameri-
can workingman should be kept above the
need of competing with the pauper labor of
Europe. This was the sentiment in 1859, in
1776, and in 1889, when the First Congress
passed the first protective tariff act

One of the trump cards the Democrats played
in Ohio was the publication of a supposed let

which he is represented to say that

amendment; also, that Blaine gave his valua-
BILE assistance, and assured Dow that he
lBlaine] refrained from voting at the request
Of prominent Ohio Republicans on account of

This having been called to the attention Of
General Dow, he writes the following card to
the Portland Press:
'"This is an unmitigated lie. There is no
truth in it whatever l have never had one
word with Mr. Blaine on the matter. / never
said to anybody that the Republican party
stood hand and shoulder with us in the fight,
