In 70 the Democrats voted for a white
hat; in 80 they voted for a blue coat; in
'SS it is red handkerchief Shall their
loyalty at last be admitted - Syracuse
Courier.
The Mills bill which has been the object
of free trade slanderous folly provides for a
higher tariff rate than any bill ever intro
duced by Henry Clay, who is known as the
father of the protective idea" - Chico

Look not upon the bandana when it is
red, and make it not the ensign of thy
fight, for at last it will lead thee to defeat,
which will be more bitter to thy soul than
the bite of the serpent or the sting of the
adder.-Los angeles Times.
The more saloons that are closed by high
license the madden the third party pro-
hibitionists get. There were 1000 sa-
looms closed in Philadelphia by high
license, and the st. Johnites are furious
over the loss of so much thunder Chicago
Inter Ocean.
If ever great party flung its compass
overheard on a lee shore in q fog, the Con-
ocrat should go on his knees and pray that
the Presidents wonderful luck may not
forsake him. That is the only thing to be
done now.-North american.
The growth of the industries of canning
and drying fruit in the Marysvilie district
is sure to assume enormous proportions in
the next ten years. As yet the business of
fruit production has scarcely begun here
compared with the development that must
take place Ma,ysville Appeal
We aiv cate colored labor as a substitute
for Chinese, but only when white men can
not possibly be secure. In our experience,
colored men, as a rule, demand as high
wages as whites, and in most instances
earn it. Our only argument in favor of
this is as a substitute for Monaghan, when
white help cannot possibly be Obtained

The assertion of General Bradley T.
Johnson that the Confederate soldiers and
their descendants elect ninety out of every
one hundred Congressman, thirty-four of
the Senators, and the President of the
United States" is true; and the great aim
of the Silver Crown Democracy is to per-
petuate this mockery of justice, honesty
and loyalty.-S. Louis Globe Democrat.
Il was almost cruel of the Democrats
generation as their candidate for Vice
President. Thurman says he hopes the
National Committee will not ask him to
make any speeches, and adds plaintively:
"As long as remain around the house and
keep quiet, feel well, but | will get tired
out if have to go over the country much"
Los angeles Times.
Free bandanas will make notable
campaign cry. The bandana emblem is
indeed fitting emblem for the Democrats
1t connects the Democratic party, not only
IN touching, pathetic way with their ven
cradle Vice-Presidential candidate, but it
symbohZes also their traditional friendship
for Englishmen. Let the bendana, the
Tree bandana, the product of poorly-paid
English labor, wave Boston Traveller.
When the Republicans pin their faith to
Oregon, it is like drowning man clinging
~ straw. No doubt the Oregon victory
was very cheering thing after an almost
unbroken series of reverses but after all it
is not very big bow of promise to the Re
publicans. To those who have looked be-
meath the surface for the causes which
brought about the result, there is nothing
IN II to warrant the extravagant exuitation

Why-a correspondent asks-was Judge
Thurman so constantly associated with
red bandana? We suppose the fact to be
that the old gentleman was in the habit of
taking snuff, and then of voicing his
emotions through his nose, using hand
kerchief TO promote and moderate, if re-
quired, and vary the reverberation. A red
handkerchief did not display the indica-
tons of wear and tear, so to speak, as
rapidly as a white one would have done.
But we always vindicated Thurman for
using handkerchief even if it was a red
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
When an old man is appealed to as the
only man who can save his party from de-
feat he is apt to make personal sacrifices.
Thurman latterly has represented the better
elements of the Democratic party. He has
tried to hold it to better purposes, but in
the effort he has not been successful. When
the Standard Oil corporation bought out
the Democratic party of Thurman's State,
retired Thurman himself from the Senate,
and combined with Wall street to put
Cleveland in nomination over the old Dem
ocratic leaders, Thurman realized that he
had failed to hold the party to his ideas
