Free Wool and the Bloody Shirt as
Campaign Issues.

Ohio is Republican State and will
vote for Republican candidate fol
President, as it has always done since
there was Republican party. Ordi.
narily, therefore, its political cam
paigns and their results are not worth
extended comment, but in the present
year issues were raised which Repub.
licans insist accounted for Governor
Foraker's increased plurality, and they
are worth examination.
Foraker's total vote in 1887, accord
ing to the official returns Just printed,
was 2, ,344 less than in 1885, but his plu-
rality is nearly $500. and this is the
fact upon which Republican assump-
tions are based. In Hamilton county
the Republican gain Is 7,348, which
leaves in the rest of the State a net
Democratic gain of 1867. The change
in Cincinnati is due entirely to the II, :
600 Labor votes and has not the slight
est connection with the tariff or the
bloody shirt.
In 1885 there was no bloody shirt and
the Democrats stood on their rstraddling
platform now so generally condemned.
In 1887 the bloody shirt was used by
GOldhCl do tuc lcetuiuR lSSuet WHltt Inc
Democrats made their fight on tariff re-
duction and no repeal of the whisky
tax. Leaving Hamilton county aside,
the Democrats in 1885 won 80 out OF
the 81 counties and in 1887 carried Al,
gain of two, as well as reduced Fora
ker's plurality. But the most striking
evidence against the conclusions of the
Republicans is contained in the re-
turns from the great wool growing
counties.
The cry of ''free wooln has been a
rallying one with Ohio Republicans for
twenty years, and in the face of the
Democratic platform, was supposed to
be of peculiar efficacy this year. Ac-
cording to the census of 1880 there
were eighteen counties containing from
10000 to 10000 sheep each, and in the
aggregate over $4,000 sheep, ma
jority of the counties being also Repub-
lican. In these eighteen counties, the
Democratic gain on the low tariff plat
form of 1887 over 1885 on shifting
and high tariff platform was exactly
Ills, or more than the whole Demo
cratic gain in the State.
The Inevitable conclusion is that the
war issue is not only dead in Ohio, but

Funerals to be Made Cheerful.

The Logansport Psaros describes a
recent funeral as follows:
An innovation at the funeral of Mrs.
John lowering, of Lafayette, is worthy
of mention. When the friends, who
had gathered to attend the last rites,
entered the house where the services
were to be held, instead of q coffin, the
body ofthe deceased was reclining up
on the lounge, her head resting upon
her hand, and silk comfort thrown
over her, as if she were in nrepose. After
the services and when the friends had
been dismissed, the coffin was brought
to the house, the remains placed in the
same and quietly placed in the ceme.
terry. Those who were present pro.
nounced it a most impressive scene, o
delicate idea of refinement to give the
friends the last remembrance of the
dead as of one in a quiet sleep, instead
Of the harsh associations connected
with the coffin.

[Rspnbllean Paper. b choru..l

James II. McGindley, q pension
shark, of Quincy, H., Is new In Jail at
Cleveland, Ohio, under charge Of for
gerry and perpetuatlng the claims OF
dead pensioners. McGlndley was prose-
cuted, convicted and dlsbarTed from
practice before the Pension office five
or six years ago. but under one name
and another be has swlndled the Gov
eminent out Of $4,000 under Black g
administration. Special Examiner j.
H. Sprague found, In 1881, several
swindles in Macon county that this
shark had perpetrated on old soldiers
widows and the Government.
To which w. T. Sullivan, editor of
the North Mssourian, and formerly an
employe of the Pension Bureau, replies:
1t will be noticed that this Wholesale
swindle is charged to General Blacks
administration. Here are the facts:
The total amount of McGindley's steal
ing, thus far developed, and the inves-
tigatiOn is not nearly completed, Is $15,-
$50. This sum is for the payment OF
six alleged widow pensions, covering
periods from 1883, 1894 and 1855, up to
1885.
A comparison of the amounts paid
on these claims under the Republican
and Democratic Administrations Of the
Pension Bureau show that the total
sum paid out during the Republican
Administration was S13,992, while but
81 ,597 was disbursed during the present
Commissioners administration, 81 1896
Of which latter sum has already been
refunded to the United States Treasury
by the banks who cashed the forged
checks payable to McGindley's myth
cal widows, while the comparatively
small balance of $3.50 will also be re-
turned to the Treasury In due time.
For many years McGindley carried
on his nefarious business in the same
city wherein was located q United
States officer for the payment of PEN
sions. Quincy, ILL.,, is the city and Gen.
eral M. B. Prentiss, Republican, was
the pension agent referred to. Nc
Gindley has recently been arrested,
tried. convicted and sentenced to the
penitentiary for ten years and to pay a
fine of SIS, 900, while numerous other in
dictments are still pending against
him.
TO General Blacks administration is
due the credit of ferreting out and Jail
ing the notorious swindler, whose opera
tions, for over a score of years, during
the Republican regime, have been SO
prolific of fraudulent claims, and the
kindred crimes, of forgery, perjury and
false personation.

The Administration and the Tariff

The President has certainly shown
great courage and independence in the
views of the tariff question submitted
by him to Congress in his annual mes
sage, and those who have wished for a
live issue in politics the document will
certainly be considered a great boon.
into the details of the proposed reduc-
tion in the present tariff suggested by
him, and until Congress acting on the
question as outlined in the message, at
! tempts to embody in proposed act the
{ Presidents views, 1T would be futile to
attempt to prophesy the end. Un-
doubtedly the President is right in call
ing the attention Of Congress to the
great increasing lookup offunds in the
treasury. 1t is great evil and fraught
with danger to the interests the coun-
try, and it is certainly the most press
ing and important question that will
come before the present Congress. 1t is
grave question, involving many and
conflicting interests, but we have no
doubt that the Democratic party,
through its representatives, will treat it
in q conservative manner and with a
due regard to the. interests of all pro-
ducers as well as consumers; and the
tone of the Presidents message gives
us warrant for this expectation. In
the meantime, we congratulate the
Democracy on the fact that the Presi-
dent has at last put final quietus to
the assertion SO often made by the Re-
publicans that Democratic admins
tration did not dare to openly endorse
the revenue reform plank of the plat
form Of 1884. Sunday Mercury.

Ex-Governor st. John, of Kansas,
addressed the Manhattan Temperance
Association, New York, Sunday, and
In the course of his address he attacked
the tobacco habit, and, incidently,
Blaine's Paris manifesto. "There is a
saying,n said Ex-Governor st. John,
"that the greatest men make the great
est blunders. If that saying be9true,
Blaine's claim to greatness has been
most overwhelmingly vindiGated by
the blnnders he has made, but the
greatest blunder is contained In an in
terview published recently in the NetO
York Tribune from Paris. In that in
terview he replied to the question ask
ing him If he meant to abolish the tax
on tobacco, Certainly, I mean just that.
I should urge that 1t be done before
Christmas He said that tobacco was
necessity to millions, and at the same
time opposed the repeal of the whisky
tax because 1t would dri,e out the high
license system.n Ex-Governor st.
John continued: HE (Biaine) sets the
seal on his blunder by saying that in
this age OF free schools and popular en-
Hghtenment tobacco is necessity to
ninety mine out ofevery hundred. The
boy oftifteen whopuffs his cigarette can
say now, when rebuked for smoking,
Blaine says tobacco is q necessity,
while to the poor women and children
who are shivering for want of blankets,
Blaine says: It will be warm weather
by and by.n The great question before
the American people to-day is the re-
peal of the tobacco tax, SO that necessity
may be within the reach of all. know
ofno living thing to which tobacco is a
necessity but the tobacco-worm. 1t ID
too bad to see the plumed knight be-
come the champion of the tobacco.
wOrm.n Ex-Governor st. John will
fight Blaine as hard in 1888 as he fought
him in 1884.
