The Florida Times Union is pugzIng itself
 over the fact that republican newspaper in Vermont Says that the democratic candidate for states attorney in It's county twill get
 the solid saloon vote" This Is really funny;
 a saloon yote' fin a state with . prohibitory
 law and with republican, party to enforce 1t
 The republicans think New Yort Ma
 Jersey Conn-s..rcu, and Indiana are doubt I Iui states this year. The members of the democratic national committee consider these
 as sure for Cleveland and Thurman and look
 on New Hampshire, Illinos, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota and Iowa as really
 doubtful, says the Brooklyn Citizen. Here now eselsirns the New York World This attempt to saddle Jay Gould upon the democratic. party is a blow below the belti Mi. Gould has always been a republican: Hc though sit0C0 never got beyond Johnny OBrien. He has not expressed e change of
 politics. and VIC insist that he shall be credit | ed to the republican party
 If Mir. Harrison does not cone to Ne-e vcrE
 to meet Ms Blaine 1t is because that would be almost too plain and too painful an exhi-
 bition of the real relation of tue two men,
 says the New York Times. IL would be like
 chaining the candidate to Mfr. Blain's chariot wheel Appearances must to | certain extent
 be preserved, and that can ouly be done by
 MT. Harrison AS far away as possible.
 
 Ing fact that in a speech some months ago
 before tbe State Republican Editorial Assoeis- ton Mir. Hulford. the editor of Hatrlsonis $ personal organ, the Indinap polls Journal, said {.
 ''ln order to win Indiana there should be an
 intelligent waving Of the bloody shirt by the
 republicans. In the language of Governor
 Foraker, of Ohio, campaign on the tariff will lead to inevitable defeat"
 A great merchant need not necessarily be a
 democrat but he must be 80 much of a demo-
 crat that he cannot be protcctionist ac-
 cording 10 the Philadelphia Accord. The
 merchant who does not believe in the freest
 posseble exchange of comodities does not SO
 to speak, fill cut the brooches of his business He should be the go-between of the nations | whose vocation 1t Is to make smooth the hills
 and hollows in tue world of productions, and
 accommodate the surplus of one people to tho
 demand of another. A great merchant is a
 great man.
 The most popular republican in Harrison's
 own state, Indiana. Is ex. Governor Porter,
 he was considered likely dark horse" at
 Chicago and 1t was generally understood that
 be would head the gubernatorial ticket in November, He has now written a letter in
 which he says that he will under no crcum. stances be candidate, and repor. has 1t that
 he will go to Europe and stay there until the
 voting Is over. The party is very much de-
 moralized in the east, but in the west it
 seems to have already accepted defeat as in-
 evilable, says the Brooklyn Citizen. Frank NJ. Pixley, of ths San Francisco 4rqo7iaut, expresses surprise at the amount of what he calls "antl Chinese feeling against Senator Harrison" developing ia California. Mir. Pixley was sent to Washington by Mayor Bryant, of San Francisco, for tue purpose of influencing legislation, if possible, In favor of | the restriction of Chinese immigration. He | clsimes to have beeen shabbily treated by | most of the republican senator's Senator i Harrison, he says was one Of the most deter
 mined and obstinate of them all In favor of | the Chinese. Mir Pxley says he has condon- | ed the offense of Senator Harrison, remem- befing the sudden conversion of Saul Of Tar
 sus, but there are many Of the laboring class
 in California who are not so ready to exten nd | forgiveness
 George Washington Cable has s chapter of advice for the negro ir the current ForaYa In regard to voting, he says: You must kee D 1 your vote alive. This means several things l It means that without venallty or seryility l you must hold your vote up for the honorable competitive bid of political pariiea A vote | which one party can count on, as a matter of | course, aud the opposite party cannot hope to
 win at any price, need expect nothing from
 either. In no campaign ought the negro to
 know certainly how he will vote before he | has seen both platforms and weighed the l chances of their words being made good
 You will never get your rights until the white man does not know how you arc going to vote
 You must let him see that the negro yoten
 can divide whenever it may and come togeth-
 CT soaiiy again whenever 1t must.
