can have it all their own way. If they
do not pursue Il moderate course, or if
they attempt to be extremely partisan,
the Senate can hold them in check.
AS last resort, the Senate can organ
ize into 4 body Of construction and
give Cleveland ard his advisers great
deal of trouble.

New York Sun: What is the use of
abusing Governor st. John and the
other Prnhibitonists?? They voted in
the election rs they thought hest. and
hadn't they right to do it? This is u
free country, and the man who does
not vote as hn pleases is not worth
much. The conduct OF the Prohibit
ti"niSts muy not suit the rest of the
politicians very we'll, but that is their
own affair.
Correct. Bat it is just the proper
thing to s'.' t" show mp the animus OF
the Prohibition party. Their object
was to defeat the Republican party for
not becoming at one jump Prollibi-
ton party. And they claim they did
it," This assumption of superior ho.
liness and earnestness and devoteduess
and I'LL that. by the Prohib;tionists, is
pure cant and hypocrisy. Neither
must they expect to launch into poll
tics without undergoing the same crit
icism and puncturing which other par
ties get.
No one, so far rs we know, has
abused amy individual for honestly
voting the Prohibition ticket. Ger
tainly the ADVANCE has not, and it
has had more to say against the Prohi-
cition party, as f;.natical church and
state party, than any paper III Mime
sofa. We have simply endeavored to
show it up us a most dangerous party,
committed! to 4 union of church and
state and to the defeat Of the Republi-
can party, and to warn Republicans
against it.
Democratic paper in that section of
Minnesota has close picking, ana the
proprietor has accordingly leased his
Office to be used for publishing a Re-
publican paper. Mr.. Penn, the editor,
IS good writer and published a meri-
toriOus paper. but want of patronage
forced him to abandon the enterprise.
-Mankato Review
1t was only question of time and if
Mr.. Penn had held on his success
would have been sure. The Review
has been frequently cited here as an
example of a successful Democratic pa
per. What was done at Mankato,
when the country was Republican, can
be done at Worthington, especially
when the country has gone Democratic.
When the Record came out as a Dem
ocratic paper it was the only one this
side of Mankato.
A Democratic paper at Worthington
is good for 200 to 800 Democratic sub
scribers in the county and lis many
more III the surrounding. counties, be-
sides several hundred Republican SUBJ
scribers.. But Democrats want to be
assured that 1t is Democratic and that
there is a reasonable chance of its liv-
ing.
It is very difficult to find Republi.
can now who is not in favor Of divid-
ing the offices between both parties.-
