All indications politically point to
the return of the Republican party
to power again in the near future
State and national elections. In that
instance it will have to undergo
reformation, not of principles or
policy, but of organization. The
Democratic party today is hampered
with nothing so much as with the
old stagers who have stuck to it for
three-quarters of century, never
changing their ideas or their pur-
poses, and now when at last the OPP
portunity has presented itself they
are there to stay, and the young
Democratic leaders, with more pro-
gressiye ideas, must wait. There is
a worse element than that in the
Republican party,-an element more
deadly in it's character than the
worst of the bourbon stock, and that
is the chronic Office seekers and old
time kickers. They fasten their
deadly fangs upon the party and
hang there, nothing to lose and all
to gain. Their motto is srule or
ruin" and they carry it out to the
letter. If the Republican party
would succeed, it must get rid of
these barnacles, and be the free,
open and progressive party it has
been,-a party of the people and not
for disgruntled Office seekers. This
evil element stares us in the face
right here at home but it's force is
night well spent. The party is reas-
sorting itself; active, energetic and
true Republicans all over the county
are feeling that the cause of the peo-
pie and Of the party cannot forever
be sacrificed to the selfSeeking aims
OF a few hangers-on, who rule or
ruin whatever they touch and have
done so for years. They are half
Democrat, half Republican, just as
best suits their purposes, the one
idea that is always foremost. In
State politics they have been unre-
cognlzed, except where forced in
through political partnerships, the
obligations of which they are now
trying to pay. In local politics they
have been met and driven back by
true Republicanism, springing
up live and active all over the coun-
ty, not for Office sake either, but for
principles, and they are the ones
who deserve to be recognized and
will be when the time comes. Let
the Republican party have nothing
to do with CHECKERS" and their hang
ers on, even though they be as big
men as Grant, and it will succeed.
The public will then see that the Re-
Dublicans are earnest and sincere in
heir efforts to serve the people, re-
luce taxation and establish health
er state government, and not mere
y seeking the advancement of dead
head politicians who have been
'ailures in themselves and in all that
hey were ever concerned.

From the best Republican sources
OF information in Ohio, there appears
no reason to doubt the election of
Foraker as Governor and good
working majority of Republicans for

date OF the Republican party for
President in 1888.
The President is busy getting to.
gether matter for his message, and
the statesmen of the Democratic
party from all sections are dropping
in upon him and urging the incor.
poration therein of their favorite
policies, schemes and hobbies. The
President listens, discusses and en-.
tertains pleasantly, but it is being
remarked by these visiting states
men that "Cleveland won't promise
worth a cent" The fact is, that
the Democracy elected to the Presi-
dency more of man than they had
bargalned for. Heretofore their
Presidents usually obeyed the in
Structions and submitted to the de.
mands of the recognized leaders, but
President Cleveland, recognizing the
eternal fitness of things, issues his
own instructions, does not permit
dlctation, and consequently, the old
bourbons express their opinin of him
in the expression, "He's HI of
Democratic President" Wash.

OVERLAND RATES.

At the last meeting of the Trans
continental Association in Chicago
the only subject discussed was the
reduction Of first-class passenger
rates from San Francisco to Chicago
and an increase in immigrant fares.
Mr.. Cannon introduced the subject
in an elaborate speech, in which he
advocated that the first class fare to
Omaha at present is $95, and the
third-class rate al 80, a difference
of $47 80. Mr.. Cannon stated
that it was his opinion if the first
class rate we're reduced to $75 and
the third class increased to $50, the
bulk Of the trade would take the
first-class. He gave a carefully
prepared estimate to the Associa-
ton of the increase of revenue
which would result from the change
placing the increase at over $780,
600 that would have been derived

last year if the change had gone
into effect. He further stated
that the question of making the
change has been submitted to the
various road and that a large major
ity favored it but as it takes unan-
imous vote to carry any question
involving revenue it failed. After
Mr.. Cannons remarks the question
was taken up for general discussion
but at that meeting no conclusion
was reached in regard to it. 1t was
also thoroughly considered at the
Denver meeting, and again post
poned till the meeting that is now
being held in Chicago. 1t is I'M
derstood that there are two lines
opposed to the reduction. The.
present rate is too high, and it
should be reduced to SIS.

STEPHEN GAIGE.

The Chronicle, in speaking Of the
appointment of Mr.. Stephen Gaige
- Assistant President Of the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company,
calls attention to the fact that no
matter how bitter haye been the
fights between the people and the
roads, everybody likes Mr.. Gaiee
personally. This is strange, but
true. Mr.. Gaige has been before
the Legislature of this State for
many years, and to his efforts, more
than any one else, is due the long
line of defeats which the people
have experienced at the hands of
the monopoly. Yet no one ever
heard anyone who knew Mr.. Gaige
say word against him.
Men would foam at the mouth
and curse the C. P. cooperation and
five minutes later sit down to lunch
with Mr. Gaige, and think they
never ha0 a more enjoyable time.
The person who has never seen
Mr.. Gaige, pictures sort of walk
ing pestilence, stalking about with
big sack under his arm, corrupt
ing the honest yeomenry which the
people send to Carson every two
years. He is p ctured (by those
who have not seen him) as simply
monster Of cunning, lying, knayery !
and corruption.
When you meet him you are
dumbfounded to find a middle aged
we almost said elderly gentleman
of faultless manners and address,
a perfectly reserved and respect
able individual, interesting in con-
versation, fluent in language, in
fact, a person whom everybody
likes to listen to on any subject, for
he is always throwing out new ideas,
and while courtly and occasionally
reserved in his manners, he has
knack of making everybody feel at
home, and possesses that peculiar
magnetic gift which disarms oppo-
sition.
His talks before an audience in
the Assembly Chamber have been
quoted as marvels of logic and mas
terly reasoning, but we doubt if
they would stand the test,
No mans logic or reasoning can
make it right for railroad COM
pany to take goods right through =
State and back at double rates, and
We are Of the opinion that if any
other man living but Steve Gaige
should attempt to defend such a
cause he would be pitched out of a
window.
Not SO with Gaige, his audience
listens with wrapt attention, and,
although they all think differently,
they all seem convinced that it Is
the only thing railroad company
can do when they charge $500 a
car load to San Francisco, and 5000
to Reno, said car coming from New
York
II is not logic nor smooth reason
ing that accomplishes this, but a
magnetism that flows
from Gaige like water from hy-
draulic monitor. If he should
openly state that the G. p. had de-
cided to raise the passenger tariff
TO 800 head through the State.
md endeayor to show why it was
Just and proper, he could convince
IN audience beyond quioble that
it was not only right, but that the
G. p. ought to collect $50 head
back pay FROM those who had been p
IL the habit of riding all these "
rears for $40. h
