Ex-JUDGE o L. WHEELER. Of Red Bank
IN. j.. q Democrat. who left his party on the
tariff ISSUE, is rendering good service to the pro-
lection cause, making speeches in New York.
GEN. JOHN B. HAsKiN, of New York, known
as the Tuscarora chief, q bolter from the Democ-
racy in Buchanan's time, has again left that

A DEMOCRATIC majority of So. 600 in louisiana
or o leo, 600 in Alabama has no possible relation
to the will of the voters. 1t is simply produced
by . few armed desperadoes standing at each
poll aud by a forced count OF the bulldozed vote.

IT is every day becoming more and more ap-
parent that the Democracy did not play their
cards very shrewdly when they sent DR.. Brooks

THE Southern people are not likely to learn
much about Republican principles unless Re.
publican speakers are sent down there. Repub.
licau newspapers do not circulate in the South
to any extent. and the people are fed on lies.

HoN. JESSE A. GLENN, Of Dalton, has con-
scented to be the Republican nominee for Gov
ernor OF Georgia. Mr.. Glenn was one of the
first public men in Georgia to join the Repuo-
lican party in 1865, for which he was severely

THE commercial travellers are going to be q val
liable adjunct in the coming campaign for the
Republicans. Nearly all OF them belong to that
party and are we'll up on the tariff question,
They know whore FREQ trade will affect their
business and will not stand back in calling at
tention to that fact.
THE campaign literature that will be distrib-
uted this year is something stupendous. The
Senate has just ordered Ave additional millions
of envelopes for wrapping congressional
speeches., and the House has ordered fifteen
million additional envelopes of the same kind
for b e'sane purpose.
THE outlook is that Harrison will carry the
electoral vote Of every State north of Mason and
Dixon's line. and will be elected by q very de.
cidsd majority. That's the way, too, that the
leaders N the Democratic party are beginning
to look at it. The time has come for a change.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
OF course the Democrats cannot carry q single
Northern or Western State without what they
call the foreign vote. And they cannot afford to
lose 2 per cent of that part of the foreign vote
that is rated sure for the party. Appearances
indicate that much more than 2 per cent. of that
vote is already lost to them. and unless they
can invent some remedy they will have to face
an almost certainty of defeat-Philadelphis

by Democrats who are opposed to the election
