licator's report of fuckers speech.
The Congregational Ministers Union of
Chicago on Monday voted unanimously
that the election of Cleveland would be
acalamity, morally and politically" The
Union also voted, l6 to ), that the election
~of Mr.. Blaine is the necessity of the
hour.
The town of Liberty, Va, was partially
consumed by fire on Sunday last. Twenty
one business houses were burned. Having
no fire apparatus. assistance was sent on
special train from Lynchburg. The fire
was the work of an incendiary, and the
loss about $50, 600.
American-made steel rails are quoted at
SIS per ton, lust the duty on English steel
rails. This shows that the free trader who
claims that the tariff forces the purchaser
to pay the manufacturers cost with the
duty added, does not know what he is talk
ing about.
- Ii is not claimed for Governor Cleveland,
we believe, that he has ever been a practi-
cal workingman but he managed to put
in S63 days in a single year while serving
as Sheriff, and that certainly entities him
to conspicuous mention for industry and
IN ambition to make his time count for as
much as possible.
Mr.. Tucker S objection in the House of
Representatives to the consideration of
the Blair Educational bill cost the public
free schools of the 10th District over half
million dollars. This is for fathers and
mothers to think over, who would prefer
that their children should go to school Eine
instead Of five months in the year.
The refusal of Mr.. Tucker to discuss
with his Republican opponent for Congress
the issues of the canvass, at Appomattox
he is afraid of himself. The proposition
was made to gre ham las O,cn terms. but
not even then could he be gotten into a
debate. Such conduct cannot be defended
before the people of the 10th district. 1t
will defeat him, as it ought to.
Mr.. fuckers opponent for Congress in
vaded Mr.. fuckers own county and spoke
to large audience last Tuesday night at
Natural Bridge Although Mr. Tucker
knew Mr.. Yost would speak at that time
and place, instead of asking for joint
debate, he spoke two miles away from the
Bridge, to what sized audience we did not
learn. This is not the way to ''Over-
whelm and crush = the young man."
S. Blair Morris, the Republican elector
for the Sd district, has never cast anything
but a Republican vote since the party had
an organization in this State. Lewis Nc
Kenzie, and j. III. Van Auken are both
old line Republicans. We have ticket
now that all Republicans ought to be
willing to support, who wish to see the
Republican candidates elected.
AT meeting. last tweek' of what is
known asjztlfei 'sStraightout Republican
Committee, of which Hon. J. F. Dezen-
dorf is chairman, it was determined to
Withdraw their electoral ticket and sup
portithe Republican. ticket at the head Of
our columns. With the Republicans fully
united. Blaine and Logan ought to carry
the State by 10, 900 majority, and this will
he the result, if free and fair election
is had.
The New York Herald in its mad zeal
in bad cause, and the desperation which
certain defeat inspires, has published fac
SMILES of the Mnlligan letters, and scat
tered them by the thousands in every coun-
~ in Ohio. Driven from the field of argu-
ment, aud successfully and promptly met
in any lie fabricated and circulated about
Mr.. Blaine, the Democracy have now
fallen on this plan to capture the thought
less and control the votes of the ignorant.
But such tactics have been tried before,
and the people, knowing this, will turn
from this last desperate device with as
much loathing as they did from the forged
Morey letters. circulated in asimilar man
iier.
Mr.. Tucker is free-trader in theory for
the same reason that he voted against the
relief of the food sufferers: the pleuro-
pneumonia bill, the Labor Bureau Bill,
the national bank charter extension bill,
the Blair Educational Bill, and other
measures. because, according to his notion,
blley were not warranted by the con-
stitution. He defends his votes ON that
ground. His consistency would be MAIN
tlined were he to declare unequiyocally for
free trade. and the enforcement of the
policy at once But this he does not do.
He is attempting to hedge on the tariff |
question He seeks to create the i'm |
preston that he is for protection, yet in |
doing so. DESTROYS the reasons he has Of
fered in defence of his votes on other |
questions, involving the same constitu- !
tional warrant. Mr.. Tucker would appear |
to better advantage had he been true |
to himself. and not invited a humiliation |
that must be painful to him.
