any alternative in the present condition
of affairs but to vote for him. The same
is true of the Independent republicans.
He pledged himself when nominated to
adopt the methods and stand by the prin-
ciples of the democratic party. The dem
ocratic party is party of anti monopo>
ly, as demonstrated by the convention at
Chicago and the late gubemational cleo
ton. There is this to admire in Gov.
Cleveland, that he has the courage to act
according to his convictions. No better
proof of this can be given than by citing
his veto of several popular measures. He
is sincere and no one has doubted his pol
itical integrity. For these reasons alone
he ought to be supported by every honest
man in tie country, especially as the pub
lie conduct of the opposing candidate will
not bear criticism"

Exposition.

The 10th consecutive, Annual Inter
State Exposition will be held in Chicago
September TO October is, inclusive
Except, possibly, the old American Instit-
ute, the Chicago Industrial Exposition is,
we believe, the only organization of its
class which for long series of years has
held its exhibitions thoutintermlssion,
of which has been uniformly successful
in the high character of its display or in
financial results. Having only $173,000
fron subscriptions to its capital stock in
1878, it has paid its current expenses,
made all necessary repairs and expended
over six hundred thousand dollars on
construction and personal property ae-
counts, and is entirely out of debt today
The average annual attendance of visitor:
paying admission Is about 400, 900 or 10
600 per day for forty days. No similar
organization in America can show any
such record of well deserved success
Like the city of Chicago and the North,
west its progress has been without par
allel
For the current year, We are informed
| the applications for space have been ever
more numerous and urgent than ever be-

ment to render the Exhibition attractive

THE news of the Maine election is not
of nature to cause much rejoicing on
either side, alth ough when certain condi>
tons are considered, it can be construed
in no other light than substantial demo-
cratic victory. A vast amount of money
had been poured into the state, and the
republican orators were there in large
numbers. The prohibitionists worked
with the republicans, but still their major,
ity is only slightly more than two years
ago. Then democrats made no effort tC
conduct an active campaign, and no out
side help was received. The next battle
ground will he Ohio, but with a depleted
campaign fund, the republicans stock in
trade, they have very little chance of sue
cess. When the republicans carry OHIO
it will be soon enough for them to crow

THE Chicago Times, in order show
the falsity of the claim that the republi~
can party saved the Union, publishes a
table containing each states vote for Mr.
Lincoln, and the number of soldiers each
sent to the Union army 1t thus appears
that 1.-THE states furnished 8S0.01S more
Union soldiers than Lincoln votes. If
half the republican voters volunteered
(Which is a very liberal es.imate), they
would have made up an army of only
933, 176, whereas the men furnished by
the states numbered 2,746, $40, leaving
1878, 1914 that must have been drawn
from other sources than republican voters
The quota of every state was largely in
excess of its republican vote. Illinois
sent $1,000 more soldiers to the field than
she cast votes for Lincoln. MARYLAND
cast 2, 294 votes for Lincoln and sent 50,
316 Union soldiers. Kentucky cast l, 364
Lincoln votes and sent 1905 Union
soldiers. Missouri sent 109,111 soldier:
to the front while she cast but 17,02S
Lincoln votes. 1t seems pretty safe tC
conclude that there were about as many
democrats as republicans in the Union
army"

PEORIA journal: Richard Mansill, the
weather prophet at Rock Island, says that
we are to have frosts until the Goth of
September. The corn crop will be safe
then. If Dick will only warrant his
prophecies we shall have something to 60
on.
The Journal editor should not doubt
Mansills veracity; it is bonafed. What
ever he says you can go your last cent on
without fear Of being BROKE Besides
being great weather prophet, he lays
claim to being political prognosticator,
and with equal success. His opinion OF
the outcome of the coming election is
that Cleveland will sweep the country
We suppose he has arrived at this conclu
sion after taking a microscopic view OF
the political horizon, and witnessing the
conjunction Of the planets Blaine and But
Ter, as seen through the rays of the New
York Sun. The republican barometer nc
doubt indicates the approach of heavy
storm. while the democratic sky is one
vast expanse of brightness.
