The issue or taxation says the Ne"
York Star, is the most prominent ques-
tion in the Democratic campaign, but IL
Is by no means the cnly issue of the
convass. The question which each voter
will have to determine on November
admits OF Only one alternative, a ballot
for the Cleveland electors or Cor electors
selected TO vote for opposition eandi-
dates.
Every one must determine for him
self the reply to the inquiry. "ShaIl
Democratic Federal Administration be
continued ?''
To reach a conscientious conclusion
on this broad question it is necessary
that the whole course OF the Admins
tration should be taken into view. 1t
is general judgment on three years.
exercise of executive power by the
| Democracy as compared with the Re-
publican rule which the country Is call
ed upon to pronounce.
| 1t is therefore right that Democratic
managers, newspapers and orators should
keep before the public tie fact that,
while the issue of tax reduction is a
leading feature in the campaign, there
are many other matters which should
not be left out of account, and which
the Republicans should not be allowed
to crowd out OF the canyass by the false
and seEseless cry about free trade, -
wheI there can be no free trade, and all
talk of free trade is folly. When Presi.
dent Cleveland issued his celebrated tax
message, it was clearly the paramount
duty OF Congress to legislate to tighten
the public burdens and emancipate in
dustry and trade. So far as the Demo-
cratic House is concerned, that duty has
been discharged. 1t is important that
the people should understand all about
Democratic progress and Republican
obstruction in the warfare against the
surplus, and everything that energy and
intelligence can do to furnish informa.
tion calculated to bring the people to the
support OF tie right will undoubtedly be
done.
But it would not be fair 10 the party or
just to the people 20 fail TO devote due
attention TO other features of the can
vass upon which a verdict must be rem
dered as part of the record OF Demo-
cratic administration. The discussion
mus. not be confined even to the great
issue. We be believe In the Democratic
doctrine of tax reduction and in the
popularity of that doctrine with the
people we rely upon it as a tower o.
strength in the canvass. But it is not
by any means the only reliance. The
party and the administration have other
claims on public confidence, and nc
claim must be surrendered or neglected.
II is the record OF Cleveland as Presi.
dent that is, first of all, in question now,
just as it was his record as Governor OF
New York that was the chief topic OF
consideration ana the source of Demo-
cratic strength in 1884.
With strong, positive and capable
candidates like Cleveland and Thurman
against weak and compromised nomin
ees Ike Harrison and Morton, it is high
lY important 10 the Democratic cause
that nothing that legitlmately forms 4
part of the canvass should be omitted
from it.

PROVIDENCE that once favored the

moral ideas" entirely. At the Blaine
demonstration in New York last week,
Blaine failed to arrive until Friday, and
as the patriots had been there two DAYS
and were badly demoralized and inanci-
ally bursted. the managers on Thursday
went through the farce OF welcoming
Blaine before his arrival. 4 big parade

for all they knew TO the contrary, might

Mr.. Blaine however, after his arrival
the next day. was duly informed OF the
royal reception he had received the day
before. Everything appears to be

ELLow FEVER has broken out at
Jacksonville, Florida, and is causing
general alarm TO the people along the

is feared that the fugitives may spread

science is used TO abate the disease aud
prevent its spreading. In Jacksonville,
Infected buildings are burned without
any hesitation, sulphur is burned in

WASHINGTON, May %, lSSS-St.
Louis is the Mecca toward which the
eyes of all good democrats are now
turning. Next week when the
democratic convention meets there,
it will only have to ratify the choice
Of the party, long since made, of a
candidate for the presidency; to
formally accept and adopt the plat
form already mapped out by Mr..
Cleveland's last annual message to
Congress, and to select candidate
for Vice President, on the ticket with
Mr.. Cleveland The only thing
about the whole programme about
which there is even the slightest
particle of doubt, is the last, and it is
more than probable that Mr..
Cleveland will signify his preference
for a running mate before the conven-
ton meets, thus removing all doubt,
for the convention will take pleasure
in nominating the man for whom he
expresses a preference, and it is only
right that they should, for has he not
proven himself the savior of the
democratic party? Aye, and more.
He has restored the party to its old
time Andrew Jackson aggreSsiveness;
for the first time in many years the
party starts a presidential campaign
by brilliant charge on the enemy's
picket line, which has been forced in
with such rush that the main
army have been compelled
to beat a retreat, which has SC
far been a very orderly one, but ere
the ides of November it twill have be-
come a rout. All this. has been
brought about by one courageous in.
