A Chicago Hero.

jim Feeny, Of the Chicago fire depart

whom the fire service develops so many.
A drug warehouse caught FIRE the other
night, aud jim found number of jars
filled with explosive chemicals blazing
away on shelf To handle thom was to
risk almost certain death. To let them
BIO was TO endanger the lives Of his com

Jim did not hesitate. Kicking out u

and absolutely uudL Mr.. Cleveland to lr
n candidate for the presidency of TVS
great nation. Common drcrncy, to 7ay
nothing about G. ristiauity, demanded
that his name should q. once have been
withdrawn and some me put IN his place
whose candidacy would not he al insult
to the people, aud whose election would
not bea sgrace to the country. We shonld
deplore more than We can express his
political success. We call upon the min
istry of the land to teach their people
that partsanship cannot oblitorate tho
seventh commandment from the law of
God that the family. environed by the
sacred moralities which alike define its
function and guard its purity and honor.
is tho unit OF the state and the sheet an
Choir of the social system. and that the
man who, to crafty his base passions, be-
comes the betrayer and corruptcr of wo-
manhood Is not to bo honored or trusted
in any sphere Of life. We call upon tho
religious press to give a loud echo to such
teaching and we ask every voter who
thinks of voting for Mr.. Cleveland, and
who, with the light now before him,
cannot do so ignorantly, to consider we'll
what he Is proposing to do, and what
would be the moral effect of knowingly
electing such man to the presidency.
Those independent republicans who, on
basis of moral reason, refused to sup
port he republican ticket, and who, in Jig
norance of the private record of Mr.. Cleve-
land, committed themselves to his support
must. In order to preserve the least show
Of consistency, decline to vote for him.
To ignore tho facts in tho grave and seri-
Gus charge against him is willfully to shut
ones eyes to the truth. To pretend that
this charge, considered in application to
his candidacy, is matter of no conso
qnence, is to set up most debasing
standard of morals, and virtually say to
public men that good or bad private
character will not be considered by the
people in casting their votes. To condone
the offense on the assumption of sincere
repentance, without q particle of proof, is
simply to encourage its repetition by
others. If not by the offender himself. We
do not see how independent republicans,
upon their own showing, can by any
possibility, vote for Mr.. Cleveland. They
may do it if they will; but theirs Is not
the kind Of independent republication
in which We believe. We cannot under
stand how it can look at itself in its own
mirror uncrimsoned by tho blush Of
shame

WILLIAM H. BARNUM and Senator A.
P. German, representing the democratic
national and executive campaign COM
mittees, have formulated an address to
the people of the United States" The
election in Ohio and West Virginia was
seized upon as an excuse for villainous
personal attack on Mr.. Blaine. All the
exploded charges against that gentleman
are revamped and reiterated with such
additional Justification as could suggest
itself to the minds Of the political bank
rupts who framed the document. The
authors hold out the delusive hope that
the democrats can carry Ohio in Novem-
Der and elect president. The address
closes with an appeal for organization.
"The people," to whom the paper is adj
dressed, will follow the advice. They
will organize, but not for democratic sue
cess. They will overwhelm the party OF
false pretenses under great load of free
ballots.

THE New York World and other demo-
cratic papers have resumed their war on
the dead baby of Mr.. and Mrs. Blaine.
They are also warning on the wife of the
republican candidate, who has been his
respected and honored helpmate for more
than thirty years. Such ghoulish business
is dastardly and infamous. Men who will
attempt to strike down virtuous and de-
fenseless women are utterly degraded.
They should be debarred from association
with honorable men. The party that
tolerates and encourages war on women
is beneath contempt.

Am Encouraging Study.


The total vote polled in Ohio last Tues.
day reached nearly, if not quite, s07 900,
an increase of over $4,000 votes in four
years. The men who stayed away from
the polls in Ohio are very few in number
this year. 1t is doubtful If more ballots
will be cast at the presidential election
than $4,000.
An analysis of the returns (unoffcial)
show the net republican majority for
representatives in congress to have been
1880 in the twenty-one districts of the
state. The republican plurality for
Flickinger, nominee for member of the
board of public works, foots up $3.50,
while Robnson's plurality for secretary
OF state Is 1915. The democrats made o
tremendous fight against Robinson, trad
ing of any of their candidates for New
man, their nominee for secretary of state.
The effort against Robinson was a Gun
ming trick to keep down the
apparent republican majority, reckoning
on the vote east for secretary of state
In this crusade the democrats met with
partial success, and for few days made
the actual republican plurality appear to
be several thousand below what it really
was and is. The only candidate on the
republican state ticket against whom a
trading or class fight was not waged with
intense bitterness was FIickinger, and
the vote cast for members OF the board of
public works should be taken as tho true
vote on state issues.
National questions entered into the
contest for representatives in congress,
and, as before stated, tho republican ma.
jority for congressman reaches 1880.
Tho republicans have every reason to feel
satisfied with the result, 1t gives them
very doubtful northern state. 1t has
