The Michigan Democrats have good
horse sense. When they want a thing
they 60 and get it. They want the thr-
teen electoral votes of Michigan this year,

South Carolina asked for bids for
100000 4 per cent. State bonds, and the
entire amount has been taken in the State,
the offers being in excess of the issue. 1t

| great scarcity of money in that State
when 100000 is so promptly raised at

In 1871 Republican House, pre-
sided over by James G. Blame as Speaker,
voted to put both salt and coal on the free
list. Eugene Hale and other Republican

The word 60 bandana," which is to be
the slogan of the coming campaign is de-
rived from bandano, the Spanish name for
handkerchief. 1t is red, and looks pictur-
esque when loosely tied or when held in
the hand, but the Republicans must be
careful not to confuse it with the bloody
shirt, as it has no affinity with that objec-
tonable garment.-Aneericus (G0) Re

The talk of the high-tariff men about
excepting the American market for Amer
leans" has more sound than sense If We
! buy little abroad we shall sell little there
And so far from keeping out foreign
goods, the war tariff last year let in over
$3.50, 900 worth, "a 900 of which
was in manufactures of wool, that cost our
people 2s,OoO,OOO in duties) This is
controlling the home market" with a
vengeance-Ne,c York World.

over his ancestors deeds, as we'll as his

viewing historically the exclusion of
slavery from the great Northwest Terri
tory, of which President Harrison, then

As for Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Thur
man, their records are part of the nota-
ble honorable history of their country.
Their political sentiments command the
general admiration, for the reason that
they are sincerely held and most cour-
ageously maintained. In certain robust,
brave, stoical defense of his convictions
of public policy and duty Mr.. Cleveland
is as fine a specimen of the g Old Roman :"

The Florida Senators are looking
forward to the tariff debate in the Senate
with a good deal Of interest. Senator
Call. who has made careful study of the
subject, is expected to take a pretty
prominent part in the discussion. Sena-

probably have something to say before it
is over. The chances seem to be that ii
will run into September. What the bill
will be is uncertan.-!Specidi Cores
