Hon. John Mcbride believes in

and is emphatically opposed to
class legislation which has for it's
object the making of the rich rich

he is in sympathy with the opin-
ions OF the great mass of American
people.

An examination of the Dow
local option law discloses the fact
that prohibition does not prohibit.
In towns where the local option
feature has been enforcedth saloon
keepers can act as the agents of
the brewers, and sell beer in guam
titles of not less than one gallon.
If this plan is generally adopted,
the law, instead of diminishing,
will have a tendency to increase
drunkenness. AS dodgers on the
liquor question the Republican par
ty is a decided success.

DAYTON, O., Sept. 17.-One of
the significant and amusing things
at the Democratic Congressional
Convention yesterday was the way
in which Preble County lodged a
vote on the resolution indorsing
Congressman Anderson. Jacob H.
Foos, of Preble, who signed and
reported the resolution, prefaced
the reading of it by an explanation
of its appearance, saying that it
was intended to be voted upon ex-
clusively by the counties that had
been in Mr.. Anderson's district.
Again, when he had finished the
reading of the resolution, he an
nounced that Preble would not
vote on the one gAnderson
So the Convention went through
the discriminating process of vot-
ing for the Anderson resolution,
with one county absolutely silent.
The resolution was NORWOOD and
gall to the Dayton.D Democrat, which
comes out this morning denounc-
ing it, and referring in no uncer.
tain terms to the Doodle methods
employed in the defeat of Murray
and the nomination of Mr.. Ander
son two years ago. 1t says:
"It was universally concededtha
MI. Murray was entitled to a re.
nomination in this new district, il
new district it could be called
when only one county in it was
changed, and while four-ffths Of
the population composing the old

get it, much to the disappointment
of vast majority of democratic
voters in the district then and
since. We do not care to recul
now to the scandals of the period
which so deeply disgraced and fear.

pressure of extreme party disci

The other claim allowed was thai
of Moses McFadden. He was a sol

The first payment in his case
amounted to $11,064.76. The pen

On March 1, 1885, a few days
prior to the Inauguration of Presi-
dent Cleveland the principal of the
public debt of the United States
was 81, S80,36 ,919. Ofthis sum ST.
1876, 149,050 was Understanding,
the remainder being made up of
legal tender notes and outstanding
certificates of various classes. AT
the same time the available cash in
the Treasury was $152,225,025,
which includes over $31, 900, 900 OF
fractional coins. On September LIST,
after seventeen months of Demo
cratic rule, the principal of the
public debt was 1882, 772,O26, a
reduction of over $207, 600, 900 in
the period named. Of this sum
nearly $6O,OOO,OOO was interest
bearing debt, and the remainder.
about Sl4I ,OOO,OOO was gold, silver
and currency certificates. On the
same date the available balance in
the Treasury, compiled according
to the methods in use prior to the
advent of Treasurer Jordan was
$213,591,S 1902. Thus, with a reduc-
ton in the principal of the public
debt from March /. 1885, to Sep
TENDER 1, 1886, of $207, 595,S93,
there has been an increase in the
Treasury's available cash of $751;
366, $50. These facts and figures do
not indicate that the people made
a mistake when they called the
Democratic party to administer
public affairs.

There is talk at Washington of
investigating the workings of the

Public Printer Rounds managed

fine house and a daily newspaper
in Omaha. And yet they say an of

That the Taylor Republican
nominee in Tennessee will only be
a brother Governor is fully demon
strated by the vote recently cast
for the judicial ticket in that State.
In q total of $50, 1853 votes the DEM
ocratic candidates received a ma
jority of 35,357, a gain of $4,000
over the Democratic vote in 1884,
the Republicans gaining but 9S1.
In the approaching contest for gov
ernor a clearer estimate of the re-
spectiye strength of both parties
can no doubt be formed, as an even
fuller vote will be cast.

The Cleveland Plain DealeA says
there are rumors in Washington
that when the president returns
there will be a wholesale discharge
of Republicans not under the civil
service rules. A dispatch from
the capital to the St.Louis Post-Dis-
patch says I'm the interior depart
ment there are thirty seven Repub-
lican chiefs of divisions who will
be discharged by November 1 and
their places filled by Democrats.
In the postoffice department. there
are eleven Republican chiefs who
will also be removed. In the state,
navy and army departments there
have been few removals, but all
will have to go. There are less
Republican chiefs in the treasury
department than in any other sim
gle branch OF the government.
Commissioner Black has said that
by December 1 there will not be a
Republican in that office who is
not under civil service jurisdiction.
Mr.. Bayard, who had been conser-
vative about making changes in
his department, has assumed a
broad Democratic spirit and will

this be true there will be heard a

ton.
