party hearing, we are forced by regard for the
feelings of our Republican constituency to re-
publish Mr. Blaine's structures upon this diplo-
matte and partisan appeal. His speech delivered

II is impossible TO exaggcrate the importance
Of retaining every Congressional District which
the Republicans now hold and of adding to the
number as many as can possibly be captured from
the enemy. A Democratic majority in the next
House Of Representatives will certainly involve
renewed attacks on the prosperity OF the country,
interference with manufactures, and general un-
certainty and anxiety. Republicans have good

attention.

great deal is being said by the unhappy friends
Of the Administration in this country and in Eng

or particularly stupid In fastening up comic

in the prize ring, he has driven large, black
headed tack directly through one of Clevelands
eyes. blac1er eye was never seen, and the
effect is most natural and artistic. Moreover
it possesses the essential element of truth, with
out which art is poor thing.
Mr. E. N Dickerson's letter in yesterdays Trib-
une bristled with good points. MIR. Dickerson is
a lifelong Democrat but along with his Demoo-
racy he inherited a love for Protection as OPP
posed to Free Trade, and he is proud TO stand now
where his uncle United States Senator and a
member of the Cabinet under Jackson and Van
Buren,. stood fifty years ago. In those days
Democracy was not Synonymous with Free Trade.
Mr.. Dickersons letter is especially commended to
Democrats who, like him, opposed the Solid South
when Lincon's whole business was killing Demo
Gratis to save the Union In supporting General
Harrison this year Mr.. Dickcrson considers him
self no less q Democrat than he was then. His
courage in expressing his opinion is as worthy of
praise as the telling way in which he sets forth
his reasons for his present position.
