WELL SATISFIED.

The Madison Democrat says:
Gen Fairchild gives out word that under no
circumstances will he be a candidate for
congress on the republican ticket in this con
gressional district. Gen. FairchId understands
that the people are well satisfied with the
congressman they have and that they mean
to re-elect him,
Down this way the people are
enthusiastic for the reelection Of
Mr.. Jones. His record is that of q
faithful and capable representative,
1t is gratifying to hear so many old
time republicans declare that they
will vote for him.

THE Difference.

There is both a dlStlnctlon anu
a difference between the conduct
of our present member of congress
in regard to a denomination and
the desperate attempts of the re-
publican member, Hon. Geo. G..
Hazelton to secure the nomination
for a third term.
Mr.. Jones so far as we know
has not up to this time intimated
even a desire to be a candidate for
reelection. His record in congress
is before the people, and on that
record, and not upon any motion
of his own, will he again be- Sc
lected as the democratic candi-
date.
But how different the action of
Mr.. HazeHon and his followers two
years ago. Federal appointments
| were filled with men whom it was
supposed would do the most effect
i've work towards securing Hazel
tons denomination; and changes
were made in appointments with
this purpose solely in view; secret
caucuses were held. Mr.. Hazelton
went about through the district,
not as representative Of the people,
but as political trickster, carried
hither and thither by some govern
ment official, who in his turn assisted
in running the machine; knots OF
republicans might frequently be
seen whispering to each other about
how fine they were going to play
it on Mr.. Keyes and his friends.
And after the dual convention at
Monroe the situation in the repub-
lican party was worse if possible
than before. A good illustration
Of republican craftsmanship and
patriotism was then given us. The
love of the republican party for
country was then exhibited in a
high degree, and no doubt the
friends of both of the great re-
publican statesman who were be-
fore the people of the district,
wondered how the voters could
have been such great fools as to
elect democratic congressman.
But the then warning elements OF
the g. O. D., have united for the CAM
paign of 1884, and are going to
assist in leading in the work OF
progress and reform" But the
alliance is an unholy one and can
not succeed. 1t is not reform within
the party but union of the worst
elements of which it is composed
Let the democrats go about the
work of nominating their candi,
dates as BELTS patriots and not pro
fessional politicians, and the people
will turn towards the democracy as
the only hope for the country
We believe that Hon. Burr w
Jones will be returned to congress
for the reason that he acts in &C,
cordance with true democratic dec
trine by placing implicit confidence
in the wisdom and intelligence Of
the people whom he has faithfully
represented.

Ninety-two' cents per day is the
princely wages which are being
paid in the Bethlehem, Pa, iron
works. We know of some wealthy
farmers in Southwestern Wisconsin
who made their first start while
working in the iron works of Penn
sylvania, at wages ranging from four
dollars PEI day upwards, under low
tariff, or comparatively free trade.
Protection does reduce prices-of
labor.

There is no indecision about
the actio of ATHLoPHoRos in Rheu'
matism and Neuralgia. 1t is direct
speedy, ef1icacious safe. Patient are
encouraged from the beginning Of

Crete, Will Co., ILL.,, writes to say:
"A few weeks ago, and before Mrs.
Porter commenced to take ATH-
LoPHoRos, she could not walk a foot.
This morning she walked four rods
without help. 1t is a most valuable
medicine and we must have some
more of it."

Blaine, in his letter of acceptance,
and republicans generally, attribute
the increase in wealth and popula-
ton to the tariff; but when it suits
their purpose they ignore protection
altogether. This sort of contradic-
tory waretare will never do, gentle
men. You must either stick to your
text, or declare the protective tariff
a failure.

The German newspaper published
at Madison, which has heretofore
been republican paper, last week
hoisted the names of the democratic
presidential nominees, and gave its
reasons in an article which, trans
lated, reads as follows:
1--WE head to-days issue with the names of
the democratic nominees for President and Vice
President. Undecided what to do for sometime
in the present campaign, we troubled ourselves
very much 10 find out the feeling of the masses,
and find decided ling in favor of change
for the democratic nominees. Whether we will
succeed is question too early TO answer as yet
As in spite OF the democrats having made a
change in regard to politics, ii is not always the
people that iNes the course of the country but
very often Vaccinations of politicians and
cliques stronger than the will of the ope.
But in spite of this we hope the will of the
people will triumph and the country be spared
the disgrace of seeing at the helm of this country
man who has been identified with every
thing that is base; which he dare uot ceny.
The fight is honesty against dishonesty, and
we prefer to stay with honesty, and shall there
fore fight against Blaine for Grover Cleveland.

A great many republicans laugh
over the Cleveland scandal. We
notice, however, that a number of
republican politicians in this state,
for reasons best known to them
selves, have recently declined to run
for office. No reference to home
talent.

The Catholic Citizen saws:

Elusive Irishmen, who are promising the
Irish vote to Blaine must not forget that
James Russell Lowell owes his appointment as
Minister TO England to the man from Maine"
This was James G. LANES first appointment
upon his assuming the Secretsryship of state.
In speaking of the Irish in a
speech delivered in New York City,
in 1866, Gen. Benz. F. Butler said;
"You think yourselves the evusl of the negro.
No, No The negro is UNNECESSARILY your su-

Useful Information.
From the New YORK SUM-

The New Haven Evening Register, Dem
ocratic newspaper which is manfuly strug-
Cling under the Cleveland incubus expressed
the opinion the other day that the tariff ques-
ton sis none of the business of the executive
officer OF this country" That is. In effect,
just what Mr.. Cleveland said in his letter &C.
cepting the nomination This esteemed con-
temporary now appeals for help in its effort to
master the principles of orr system of govern
ment:
I'VE cannot resist the temptation we feel to ask
the Sun 10 enlighten us as to the responsibility
President of the United States is under of framing
and enacting tariff laws. We may be mistaken. but
we have always labored under the impression that
Congress attended rather professed to attend to
the legislative wants OF the country"
You will find it all in the constitution of the
United States, copy of which may be obtain
ed from any good library. The executive
power is vested in the President, bat his func-
tions are not limited to the execution of the
laws framed by Congress. He is a part of the
law-making power. Tariff bills and all other
bills must go to him for his approval or disap-
proval. before they can become laws. His re-
sponsibiity for the enactment of tariff law
is as direct as that of Congress, unless the bill
happens to be passed over his veto Further
more, the Constitution requires that the Presi-
dent shall attend to the legislative wants of
the country. He has the initiative in this re-
spect. "He SHALL" says the Constitution,
from time to time, give to the Congress infor-
nation of the state OF the Union, and recon-
mend to their consideration such measures as
| he may deem necessary and expedient." He
may even convene both houses of Congress in
extra session, to make laws which he suggests
and recommends, and which take effect by
virtue of his approval and signature. The
| Evening Register has labored under an entire
| ly false conception of the duties of the Presi-
| dent. This is due very likely to the fact that,
| instead OF hunting up copy of the Constitu.
| ton, it has derived its ideas from the publish.
| cd writings of Mr.. Grover Cleveland.

cpringer's committee thinks the public
service will be much improved when the prac-
tice of appointing men to Office on account
OF their partisan service is done away with.
That idea occurred to the Republicans many
years ago, and they have been endeavoring
to reduce 1t to practice. To certain extent
they have succeeded. But at every step of
their progress in that direction they have
been resisted by Democrats. The Pendleton
bill which was designed to accomplish in
part at least the very thing which Mr.
Springer now thinks the first essential to
the publication Of the public service was re-
sisted at every step by the party of which
Mr.. Springer is distinguished member.
All that has been accomplished in the way
of legislation in the direction of taking the
Offices out of politics has been accomplished
by the Republicans against the resistance Of
almost the entire Democratic party. If Mr..
Springer's conclusion quoted above is an in
dication that the Democratic party has be-
gun to see merit in civil service reform it is
good omen.

redeem these pledges. One is by voting the
Democratic ticket, and the other is by vot-
ing the Prohibition ticket. and either one of
these methods is about as effectual as the
other. On the other hand the only way TO
prevent the Democratic party from having
an opportunity to redeem these pledges is to
vote the Republican ticket. The practical
effect of any other course, whatever may be
the intention of the voter, is to commit the
moral elevation of the people of Ohio to the
saloon keepers and rumsellers of that COM
monwealth. And what is true in Ohio is
likely to be true in every Western State.
In several of them already close alliance
has been formed between the rumsellers and
The Democratic party and in nearly all, if not
in every one, negotiations looking to such
an alliance are going on.
