The Truth of It.

The Democratic leaders and writers are
Just now wrestling with the conundrum
s.what caused sY'' Their attempts at
the solution of the mystery, are AS varied as
the degrees of the humor of those who
venture a guess. President Cleveland
says it was Republican money Others say
that it was for want of proper information
on the part of the average voter. All agree
that it is fact, and very stunning fact,
too. The explanation, however, is that
the American people believe in the pro-
lection of American interests, and when
of a system that employs American la
Dor and favors American industries, or
paving tribute to foreign enterprise ana en-
deavor, he decision will be very apt to be
Oh the side of America. 1t was the policy
of the Dem ocratic speakers to confuse and
obscure the real questions before the coun
try. They sought to eliminate the Presi'
dents message from the canvass. They mutt
lated the. Mills bill to suit localities, re-
tanning in it clause that would be in ac.
cord with public sentiment at one place and
striking it out where it would be unpopu'
lar for it to become known. In this way
two or three copies of the bill were PLACED
in circulation. as representing the meas
ure as it passed the House OF Represen-
tatives. This illustrates the deception
and trickery by which the attempt was
made to delude the people, and draw at
tention from the distinct issue of Pro-
lection and Free Trade as represented by
the two parties.
In this section the candidate for Con-
gress on the DeHesFatic side not only
lodged the tariff issue, but PLAYED fast and
'oose on the Blair Bill, and the policy it
involves. All know the manner in which
the question Of DstsGnsi AID to public ed
ucation was treated by Mr.. Tueker. He
proposed an imaginary plan, utterly with
without practical meaning, as a sub
stitute for a we'll formulated and
we'll understood bill, definitely fixing.
the te4fns anq conditions upon which
aid was to be extended to the educa
ton of the children of the South. And
so on throughout the country, the repre-
sentatives of the Democratic party al.
justed their expressed views to suit local
ities. and not to conform to a straight,
manly and uaamoiguous policy. The Re-
publicans adopted Q directly opposite
course. They were definite, eisar and I'M
in their advocacy Of tie
pFott give policy, the repeal of the inter-
nal revenue law, and national aid to pub
lie education. There was no equivocati ION.
no doube-deallng, but an nnqus flied dec.
Iaration of conviction and policy SO pleia
that he whs sun might read.
1t was because of this that tt Repub-

defeated. That is the explanation ana

it is clear case that Wise, Democrat, will
