THE Republican managers are doing
a vast amount of underground work IN
Indiana. They have already persuaded
four or five men that the Mills bill is
bought by British gold.-Cincinnau
Enquirer.
"TBE cry is still they GOMEZ" Yes,
they are coming by the acre. The
tramp, tramp, tramp" of whole armies
of recruits make the hillsides and val
lsys of the Hoosier State fairly tremble
as the boys go marching to the Cleve-
land camp. - Council Bluffs Globe.

Four years ago The people voted to
change not only the then existing ad
ministration of public affairs, but the
system of excessive taxation that had
for years produced great and wasteful
surplus. 1t will be time enough to try
another change when this decree shall
have been executed, and the system of
a freer trade and lower taxes has had a
fair trial.-New York World.
The silliest of all the bosh that is
pratiled in this campaign is the asser-
ton that Democrats or the Democratic
party looks with favor upon England
and English goods. From General
Jackson down, the Democrats have
been for America first, and every Demo.
crat wants to see the United States the
greatest commercial nation on the
globe. This result can never be at
tanned by enslaving commerce and OPP
pressing the po0r.-Louisville Courier
Journal.
PRESIDENTIAL candidates shonld be
let alone. 1t is little that the best of
them can do to affect campaign unless
to Injure it. If elected the country
wants its President to be in good form =,

to swell the brooks and waterfalls with
his watery eloquence.-New York

for Jim to come and get little magne-
tism into the grand old party which
will not be able to get on its legs fairly
until it is knocked into state of utter
inactivity next November. So Jim is
coming. He will land on the shores OF his
native land Wednesday, and his party,
which needs him mortal bad, will well
come his return with shouts of loud
acclaim. Well, there must be some in
terest in this campaign, and Jim is a
person of distinction anyhow. So
here's welcome to Jim.-Cleveland
