THE prediction vouchsafed by
some of our Republican friends that
the Presidential Office will be cap
tured by nominee from their ranks
is suggestive of that party's early
faith in every contest. 1t is not a
bad motto to hold on to.

Ex-Gov. Yarmouth, of Louisiana,
has issued an address to the public de-
nouncing Gov. McEnery for bad faith.
He says McEnery has written to his re-
turning officers as follows: "Warmouth
is developing too much strength. We
must beot him. See to iG that your
parish returns large democratic ma
jority."
Il dare Gov. McEnery," says War
mouth, Ito deny having written this
letter. charge that Gov. McEnery
has organized a conspiracy to have the
vote of the republicans suppressed
throughout the state of Louisiana,
and that it his purpose to have ballot
boxes stuffed, returns falsifled and re-
suits declared which were false, and
men put into Office by fraud ard vio-
lence. appeal to the honest people
of Louisiana, In the name of oil that
is honorable and right. to condemn
this conspiracy" We are afraid this
appeal will not have much effect. The
democratic party is the same all over
the United States. 1t was conceived
in sin and brought forth in iniquity,
and its record shows that its success
was accomplished by fraud, intimida-
ton and forgery. The records of our
courts, and the rolls of our penitentia-
ries in states where are our laws are en-.
forced are proof of our assertions.
All laws subveisive of free speech, fair
elections and an honest count are
found in states in which the democrat.
ic party Is dominant. But of what
use are courts when violators of the
flaws are pardoned as soon ns sentene
ed, by our chief executive. The Civil
Service cannot be reformed, nor oul
laws enforced as long as appointed
are taken from the graduates of penf
tentiaries, run shops slums and Other
low dives. as has been done within the
last three years. as is charged and pro
ven before the Senate investigation
committee.

The direct tax bill was not defeated
on IFS merits, bnt because a majority
of democrats in the house preferred
disposing of it solely with reference to
its effect on tariff legislation, and be-
cause it did not include the cotton tax
which rests on an entirely different ba-
sis. Every appropriation is being
treated with reference 10 the tariff and
the surplus. Needed public buildings
are either refused altogether or made
quately provided for. The public SER
vice is being crippled from lack of off,
cials who cannot be paid. There is in
the whole program and purpose of the
democratic party in congress want of
conference and method. They cannot
see their course a day ahead. In fact,
although in n nominal majority, yet in
sentiment and purpose they are in a
minority. A minority of this minori-
ty has ruled during the last ten days
IF deadlock and finally triumphed.
Nothing but party imbecility and par
alysis can account for such impotence.

The closer the republican victory in
Rhode Island is looked into, the worse
it appears for the democrats and the
better for the republicans. A year
ago the democrats carried the state by
sweeping majorities. The leading re-
publican paper of the state helped
them. This year the same paper again
b,lted on the Lieutenant Governor
ship. The prohibition law has also
been supposed to be greatly hurting the
republicans. The democrats thought
they had sure thing, and that Rhode
Island was at last to become one of
the reliable democratic states But
I'm spite of all obstacles and democrat
10 exeTtfons and expectations, the
whole republican state ticket was elect
ed by over 5000 plurality, and the re-
publicans also elected over two thirds
of the Legislature. The change was
nothing short of a political revolution.
tt cannot be accounted for fully npon
any other hypothesis than that the is
sue has become partly one Of prote"
tion and free trade. and Rhode Island
IS for protection always. Upon that
same Issue, which will then he more
direct, Rhode fsland will give a stiff
larger republican majority next fall

facturys touches directly the pocket o.
