THE Democrats of the South have GO

| THE Democrats of the South have got
their feet on the necks of Northern Dem
ocrats as fairly as they had in ante bellum
times. This is very apparent. No well
informed man can dispute the fact that
the party is dominated by the South.
The Democrats of the old-time free
States, as a rule, know that the best in
terests of this country are against Free
Trade. Until now, Pennsylvania Dem
ocrats, for example, have been as stern
advocates of Protection as ever We're its
Wings or Republicans. James Buchan-
an and George NJ. Dallas as thoroughly
favored Protection as does Samuel J.
Randall. And yet, aided by a servile
President, the State Convention Of that
party, at the command of the statesmen
of Texas and Arkansas, put behind it all
the traditions and history of the party,
and betrayed the best interests of its peo-
pie. This is a striking example of the
depths of degradation to which the party
has been dragged; but its parallel may
be found right here in Ohio. What man
whose opinions are worth the snap of
ones finger but knows that the PROPOSE
tion to put wool on the free list is a seri-
Gus blow to that industry in Ohio? Yet,
without exception, so-called Democratic
newspapers in Ohio are either advocating
it or acquiescing in the demand of the
South that it shall be done. And so of
other States of the North.
the ST. CIairsville Gazette last week
folded into its issue and circulated free
through the mails an alleged supplement,
prepared at Washington, under the direc-
tiOn of the Southern Brigadiers. In it
is a speech of-whOm? A Mr. Hatch, of
Tennessee. Is this the source to which
the farmers of Ohio should look for in
formation and guidance? And then fol-
lows a paper from Henry George, who
has some Utopian ideas about property
rights which we have never taken the
trouble to investigate, nor has the able
Gazette; but toward whose theories the
people of New Y ork, when he was a can
didate recently for Mayor, had such fear
and aversion that party lines were oblit-
Grated and he was roundly beaten by
Mayor Hewitt This is the kind of husks
the arrogant Southern leaders throw be-
fore the people of the North.
Several weeks ago we took occasion to |
say that the farmers and other working
people of this county should take stand
early in opposition to the Free Trade folly
the Democratic party is attempting to
force upon the country. 1t is not out of
place to repeat that injunction. And
they must make their influence felt if
tiey would avert the folly.

DEMOCRATS occupy two of the best
offices of this county-Clerk and Audit
or. When elected, the State Republican
ticket had 327 majority in the county.
Except for the votes of good-natured and
clever Republicans, both of the able gen
tlemen would to-day be adorning private
life, and scratching for living. But in
stead they are costly fixed in $4,000 a
year offices, with plenty of leisure to help
along Cleveland and Free Trade, and fat
pocket to help grease the party
machinery.
Men and brethrenl most emphatically
do we repeat you make great and serious
mistakes when you vote Democrats into
Office in this county.

HELPING THE RIGHT SIDE.

To help the right side is not only COM
mendable in a general point of view, but
is judicious and prudent when that help
is enlisted in behalf of the right side of
the body, just over the lower ribs in the
region of the liver. The most efficient
help is afforded by Hostetter's stomach
BitterS, an anti-biliouS medicine of in
comparable efficacy. InactiOn of the
liveriS accompanied by constipation, sick
headache, furred tongue, nausea, Occa-
Sional vertigo, an unpleasant breath, yell
lOwneSS of the skin and ball of the eye
The author of these symptoms, liver COM
plaint, routed by the bitters is accompan-
led by them in its flight. Fever and ague,
which always involves the liver, dyspep-
sia, rheumatism, debility and kidney
troubles are all maladieS to the early re-
lief and final cure of which this standard
medicine is adapted. Don't use it by fits
and starts, but Systematically, that its
full effects may result in perfect res
toration of health. SO I'm.

A SCHEME THAT DIDN'T WORK.

A SCHEME THAT DIDN'T WORK.
Cleveland Leader.
The man most cordially hated by the
Democratic politicians in New York is
John L. Davenport, Chief Supervisor of
Elections. He was appointed by the
Judges of the U. S. Court or he would
have been kicked out by the administra-
ton. 1t is his duty to appoint supervis-
Ors for each polling place at every fed
eral election, to attend during registra-
tiOn and also on election day, and to
examine the registration lists after they
are completed, to prevent frauds therein.
These supervisors are paid s. day, out
of the federal treasury.
A few days ago Acting Attorney Gen
eral jerks sent word to Davenport,
through the United States Marshal, that
the supervisors this year would only be
allowed pay for five days, to wit, for four
registration days and election day. This
order was undoubtedly issued by direc-
ton of the administration, which does
not desire the registration lists in New
York City too closely scrutinized. If
the supervisors were to he paid only for
these five days they would not of course
spend any time examining the lists af-
ter their completion.
Mr.. Davenport was equal to the oc-
casion, however. He very promptly in
formed Acting Attorney General jerks
that he, Davenport, and not jerks, was
running the Office of Chief Supervisor of
Elections; that the enforcement of the
statutes relating to elections was not
put in charge of any department of the
government; that the matter was none
of jerks business; that the supervisors
would do such work as he, Davenport,
directed, even if it required ten days
service from each; that the bill would
be audited by the court as required by
law, and that the Treasury Department
would have to pay the bills no matter
whether jerks wanted it done or not.
He furthermore cited jerks to decisions
of the United States Courts amply sus-
tanning his, Davenport's, position.
Acting Attorney General jerks may
not be as pretty as he was before he ran
up against Davenport, but he knows
more. The registration lists in New
York City will be carefully examined by
the federal supervisors and thousands of
fraudulent votes that otherwise would
be cast for Grover Cleveland will be
headed off. The little scheme to poll
the ''mattress" and Castle Garden vote
for the Democratic ticket will not work,
in spite of the effort of the administra-
ton to defeat the operation of United
States election laws.

The electioneerng campaign in America
ought TO be most interesting TO the English
people for historical, political, and phiIosoph-
icai reasons. The main question at
issue IS English Free Trade against the Cont
mental system OF Protection. The Republic is
on trial. Good. conservative government, un-
der Cleveland, is opposed by the rule and ruin
party Of Blaine, whose friends nominated Har-
Hson. Thus the American people
are directly involved in the contest through
their pockets, which will be affected by the
tanff, and their future, which would De seri-
ously Influenced by the restoration to power
Of such fre-brand as Blaine, with his home
rule sympathies and anti Canadian policy The
American election is infinitely more important
TO Engiishmen than their own internal politics
Just at this juncture, and they should observe
every phase Of the campaign closely and un-
derstandngly. It is from this point of view
that the copous dispatches to the Sunday
Times are cabIed. The result Of the kmer-
can election will he . to decide many import
ant issues in Great Britain.

HOME MARKET AND PROTECTION

HOME MARKET AND PROTECTION.
Mr.. Harrison has said many sound
things since his nomination, but nothing
better than the following from speech
made the other day:
"The Republican party stands for the
principle of Protection. We believe in
the preservation of the American mar
ket for our American producers and
workmen. We believe that the devel-
opment of home manufactures tends di-
rectly to promote the interests of agri-
culture by furnishing home market for
the products of the farm, and thus
emancipatingo our farmers from the trans
portatiOn charges which they must pay
when their products seek distant mar
kets. We are confronted now with a
Treasury surplus. Our position is ex-
ceptiOnal. We are not seeking, as many
other nations are, new subjects of taxa
ton, new sources of revenue. Our quest
is now how wisely to reduce our nation
al revenue. The attempt has been made
to use this surplus as lever to over
throw the Protective system. The pro-
moters of this scheme, while protesting
a desire to diminish the surplus, have
shown their purpose to increase it, in
part by opposing necessary and legiti
mate appropriations. agree that there
is danger that a surplus may promote ex-
travagance, but 1 do not find myself in
sympathy with that policy that denies the
appropriation necessary for the proper
defense of our people, and for the con-
venient administration of our public af
fairs throughout the country in order
that the threat of a surplus may be used
for sinister purpose. l believe that in
reducing our revenues to the level of our
needful and proper expenditures we can
and should continue to favor and pro-
tect our interests. | do not like to trust
this work to those who declare Protect
i've duties to be vicious, 'legalized rob-
berry The Republican party has, by
its legislation, shown its capacity wisely
to reduce our revenues and at the same
time to preserve the American system.
1t can be trusted to do the work that re-
mains and to do it wisely"

FEMALE BEAUTY.

1t is fortunate thing that all men do
not have the same taste in female beauty,
for otherwise they would be awkward.
Although the prefenees of men for diff
ferent style of form and feature vary

appearance indicative OF health is pleas
ing to all alike. y woman may be with
out regular features, yet if healthy, she
viii be beautiful to someone and pleasing

doubt whether the development Of the
iron and coal resources OF Alabama was
a blessing To that State because the labor

Yet the Democrats contend that protec-

A DOGS CARE FOR A CAT.

Oshkosh Northwestern.
Mr.. Charles Patton reports a case of
affectionate care as exhibited by dog
to a cat in the town of Oakfield, few
days ago. The cat had wandered into
field and on its way home came to a
slough which the heavy rains had filed
with water. Tabby ran along the edge
of the pond, mewing piteously, and her
distress was noticed by dog, cared for
by the same family which claimed own
ership TO the cat. The dog swan the
slough and attempted in his dumb way
to induce the cat to follow him back
through the water. But it was no 60.
Then the dog returned and playfully en-
deavored to get the cat on his back.
She objected. Finally the dog made
one more trip, and then, disgusted, he
seized pussy with his teeth by the nape
of the neck, held her high out of the
water and landed her safe and dry on
the other shore. Then the two jOyfully
scampered home together.
