NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

"The democratic majority In West
Virginia Is under three thousand, q
republican galn OF over 1000. The
largest gains were made In the noun-
ties where confederate soldiers are
most numerous. The result is full OF
encouragement for the future, but Il
does not hold out q hope that the
state will go for the republicans next
week. They have not claimed It as
a democratic defeat because the ma
jorlty was reduced. In other words
they have not mlsrepressnted the
election In West Virginia as the dem.
ocrats have done that Ia Ohlo.--ore-

A sweet Item.

Albany people who have to pay 8 to IL
cents for all kinds Of sugar should read the
following from Portland paper) and see
how they are imposed en- by some one
The London GrGqhic Of October 4th saws !:
Sugar IL now 90 extraordinarily cheap
that it il proposed to use it largely for fat
tening cattle and hogs. Common sugar i
down to penny per pound, and raw Indian
sugar has lately been sold for seven shillinRs
per hundred weight. A pound of sugar costs
less than apound Of oil-cake and is three Or
four times as valuable for fattening pur-
poses" That is the boss country for taffy
now. There is no need Of mixing the bitter
with the sweet there. The hogs fattened or
sugar should, when cut up. make sweetmeats.
and the most crossed'grainsd native will be
able to look sour. Every fellow there will
have sweetness, and they will have .
sweet time altogether. In New York the
best granulated sugar is 81 cents, and refined
golden q 6a cents. Here granulatsd is 9 cents
and extra golden g cents.''

Now ReYs To THE FRONT.

Linn county ought to give Cleveland
and Hendricks $50 majority. The
party can do this if every Democra t
will go to work noO and spare not an
honorable effort to get out every Dem
ocrat to the polls, and spare not an
honorable effort to induce misguided
Republicans to vote for the Democratic
candidates. Remember few votes
might elect the Democratic electors in
Oregon, and the electoral vote of this
state might decide the presidential con-
test. Then be up and doing. 1t is the
duty and busiOess of every Democrat
to work Increasingly until the polls
close.

TEsros's srEECn.

Space forbids orr giving an extended
notice Of Mr.. Fenton's speech at the
Court House Saturday evening. A
large and intelligent audience Of DEM
osrats and republicans gathered there
to hear the issues dividing the political
parties discussed. Much enthusiasm
prevailed among the audience. The
questions at issue were discussed In an
Intelligent, candid, dignihed way, and
such was the fairness and franknoss Of
the speaker that he carried his audience
with him in full sympathy. Republi-
cans conceded that II was the beat
speech Of the campaign.

CLEVELAND IN NEW YORK.

Governor Cleveland, for Q man with
oat magnetism" has exhibited pow
o. to stir the popular enthusiasm which
the most magnetic candidate scarcely
has exeslled. His reception in New
York on "Wednesday night and in
Brooklyn Thursday is represented by
those whe witnessed it as something al
together extraordinary, and, while this
kind of demonstration doss not usually
count for much, it is certainly not with
out significance in the present case.
Governor Gle Eelaud has never made
any clap-ts.2 appeals for popularity
Hs has done waat is better than that
earned popularity By q faithful discharge
Of his public duties, and applause be-
slowed upon him is not the mere eaer.
vsscence of crowd, bat . tribute to
honorable service and to the cause OF
good government which Cleveland rep
reseuts.
Since his nomination he has left bis
official residence but twice-oncs for q
visit to his home and this time for q
visit to the metropolis OF his own State.
The trip was we'll timed to strengthen
the determined and hopeful attitude of
bis supporters and it has given fresh
impetus to the campaign in New York
which the Republicans will find it hard
to catch up with in the short time that
remains before the election.

Without entering into any such COM
parison, II will be recognized by every
teacher and intelligent patron that the
impetus given to the study Of reading,
and the interest awakened In it by the
introduction into the schools Of new
reading matter with bright new illus.
trations, cannot help being great. This
new interest and enthusiasm will also
communicate itself TO other studies. No
one doubts these propositions. As bear

series have issnsd an entirely new series

VIII the Republicans, in case Of
Blaine's election, reduce the tariff as
they pledge themselves TO do in their
platform adopted at Chioagof It would
be reasonably inferred from Blaine's
letter of acceptance, and the many
speeches which he is making over the
country on his trip begging votes, that
he has abandoned this feature of the
platform and has shown his true eolors.
The truth Is whom the Republicans put
plank in their platform in favor of a
reduction Of the tariff, the manufactnr-
ing nabobs of the east became indignant
at this desertion Of their interests and
plainly signi6ed their intention to allow
the election of Blaine to go by default
by refusing to contribute from their
plethoric purses to pay the expenses of
his campaign. In this way Blaine was
compelled to ignore this plank in their
platform and concsde TO the demands
of coterie of grasping monopolistis
manufacturers. We have no doubt
that he stands pledged to-day to prevent
any reduction of the tariff in case he
should be elected. In all his speeches
he has studiously ignored the fact that
his own party platform pledges him to
q reduction. He has not said word
in all these speeches about relieving the
people of the heavy burdens Of Taxation,
under which the labor. He says
nothing about the interests Of the great
body of the people composed offarrers,
mechanics, lAboring men and women,
bat the great burden of his song is
'protection," "prOtecsion," for manu-
facturers to make them rich ut the ex-
pense of the great body Of the people.
No wonder these rich manufacturers
put their hands into their pockets cheer
fully and contribute their thousands
and tens of thousands of dollars to elect
Blaine. Would they do this il they
were not to be fully renumeratsd BY
the benefits of protection ? Those mar
ufacturers could not afford to spend
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars to elecI
Blaine if they were not to receive 6
muni6cient return for their investment
They SO into = campaign as a mer,
business enterprise. They say il pays
them to spend large sums to cleo
Blaine. Ifprotection helped the labor
ing man instead Of the manufactures
then they would not thus spend thei
money.

Blaine said few weeks ago that he
hoped every Republican paper in the
country would publish his Mulligan let
ters bat be knew very we'll that not
one of them would do it. He now,
however, characterizes the publication
of them by the Democratic press asian
Infamous violation of his personal cor

it is certainly not as infamous as the
