II the ticket of Harrison and Morton con.
siStently represents a huge combination OF
interests, the ticket of Cleveland and Thur
man distinctively, loftily and prophetically
stands for the righteous demand of the popu-
lar conscience and the honest intelligence of
the country for the overthrow OF the whole sys-
tenn of predatory politics-an overthrow which
must come unless the republic itself is to be
overthrown -GatUestOB Netcs.
Thanks to the courage and good sense OF
President Cleveland, the coming campaign is
to be fought chiefly upon question of political
economy and not upon the personal defama-
ton of candidates as some campaigns in the
past have been. The contest will be in large
measure of principles and not of men.
For this the American people are to be con-
graduated. and because of this the more
heartily. zealously and intelligently every cit
izen enters into the contest the better for him
and the country.-FAnadelphia Times
