THE ISSUE.

The Madison Democrat fairly
states the issue involved in Mr..
Jones's candidacy for reelection to
congress when it says:
The campaign orators for the republican
party in this congressional district including
the republican candidates, make open war
upon congressman Jones for supporting the
Morrison tariff bill. 1t is presumed that every
voter in the district knows what that bill was
Simply small reduc ton of the tariG-a little
and an equal amount of reduction upon every
thing now having tariff tax upon it, except
coal, salt and lumber, which were put upon
the free list. 1t was not claimed by anybody
that the reduction proposed by the Morrison
bill would reduce the revenue to exceed one
half the present surplu.-which is now nearly
500, 0oo,0o0 a year. A bill to cut of one half
the unnecessary tariff taxation was opposed by
the solid republican vote In congress with three
exceptions and now the republicans openly
make campaign before the people against
even this little relief from taxation. 1t is hard
to conceive Of political party arraying itself
. gainst such q measure in congress, and sur
priSing that 1t should be carried before the
people OF this congressional district II the
people of this congressional district love to be
unnecessarily taxed to an extent that will carry
them to the point OF opposing this little relief
not half what they ought to hsye-then GER
tainly they should vote against Mr.. Jones. The
Democrat is certain that Mr.. Jones viii stand
by that record, and if he cannot support =
measure in the next congress that cuts of at
least half the useless taxation now imposed
upon the people, he would prefer to stay a
home

The National Tribune, organ Of
the G. A. r., in answer to a num-
Der of letters from comrades in
various parts of the country asking
questions concerning the record of
certain representatives on the pen
sion bill of the last session Of
congress, gives the vote on the
motion to postpone further consid-
Grafton of the bill until the second
Tuesday in December. The Tribune
classes those who voted to postpone,
and those who refrained from voting,
as enemies of the bill; while those
who voted for immediate consider
alton are put down as friends of the
bill. Among the latter we find the
name of Hon. Burr W. Jones, rep
sentative from this district.

That the word of an honest dem
ocrat availeth much seems to be
pretty thoroughly impressed upon
the minds of republican editors.
The late Hon. jeremiah S. Black,
of Pennsylvania, gave General Gar
field a certificate of good character,
which stood him in good stead
during the campaign of 1880. And
no sooner had the great criminal
suit of the independents versus Blaine
commenced, than a report was cir
culated that Judge Black had also
said good word or two about the
Plumed Knight. But the report
was Immediately proved to be with
out foundation in fact, and this
part of the defense was withdrawn.
Our esteemed contemporary The
Teller, of Lancaster, seems to be
unaware that the report was false,
and last week made it the basis of
q long defense of Mr.. Blaine. No,
Mr.. Pollock, you cannot find refuge
for your candidate behind the
words of honest old Jere Black
For although he was so honest and
kindly hearted as to say good word
for almost every public man with
whom he became acquainted, it
is not of record that he ever praised
the virtue of the author of the
Mulligan letters.

The Louisville Courier Journal
Of Monday, September 20, says
editorially of the campaign in Ohio:
at is out two weeks until the Ohio election,
and it is well enough to caution the dem
ocrats to hinge no hopes on carrying that state.
II is true some correspondents on the ground
send out confident predictions of democratic
success; but being in the midst OF the fight,
they are apt to be biased by feeling and their
judgment blinded by local and partisan infiu-
ence. 1t was a recognition of the fact that Ohio
is republican state that prevented the con-
sideration by the national convention of the
claims of that noble old democrat Judge
Thurman. The folly Of rsking success upon
the result in Ohio was generally admitted and
the error that in the earlier and calmer days
of the campaign was avoided must not be
committed now in the heat of the contest. 1t
would be useless to deny that there are some
indications in the state of encouraging
character to the democrats, but they must not
lose sight of the fact that the republicans go
into the fight with the advantage on their
side. They must understand that OHIO is not
essential for the election of Cleveland, while
it is for that of Blaine"
