Political Clippings.

Will the Ohio friends of John
Sherman swallow the bitter dose?
Blaine had his way about it. He
compelled the convention to nomin.
ate his man.
The convention might have done
worse. 1t might have nominated
Foraker.
Mr.. Harrison was the choice of
Blaine and his nomination was die
tated by Blaine's managers.
Governor Foraker opened his ca
pacious mouth Mt Chicago and fell
through the cavity feet foremost.
Harrison couldn't carry Indiana
in 1876 and there Is no reason for
supposing that he can carry 1t now.
| Blaine is to be secretary of state
if Harrison should be selected in
order to carry out his "jingo" ideas.
"Old Resumption" Sherman is
now at liberty to resume tho candi-
dacy for nomlnation in 1892.
Governor j. B. Foraker has lot
of portraits of himself that he wifi
now sell cheap for cash.
The Chicago convention has fin
ally arranged that the Democrats
shall have picnic this year.
What will the "Blaine Irishmen'
DO now that their favorite was not
nominated t?
John Sherman only got in sight
of the promised land. Like the gen.
tleman accused by Bob Ingersoll of
making mistakes. John has beheld
the fair vision from the mountain
top, but he Will never go over.
1t was charged by an Indiana
anti Harrison man the other day
that "no one who did not wear Il
oswaliwtail coat and kid gloves"
could over get an interview with
Ben Harrison.
That was a singular admixture Of
the puritan and infidel, the opening
of the: Chicago convention with
prayer by arreacher and the closing
OF it with speech from infidel Bob
ingersoll.
In attempting to secure the doubt
full state of Indiana the Republicans
by beating Sherman, their ablest
man, as they have done. have plnc-
ed Ohio almst surely in the Demo
cratic column.
With the improvement made IN
his condition, the people of this
country have strong grounds for
hope that Phillip II. Sheridan
will be general of the army for
many long day yet.
Before the Democracy lies the
pleasing task of teaching The peo-
pie within The next FOUR. or five
months that a nation cannot be-
come prosperous by taxing itself
Accordingly as this work shall be

Ben Harrison swhile IN the I'm
tied States senate voted against
| bill to save "American civilization
and morality from tho leprosy OF
Asiatic paganism, degradation ant
contaglon." He argued that the
! American people had no more right
to exclude The Chlnese than they
| had the Irish and Germans. Cali
fornia has already served notice up
on Ben Harrison that he cannot
carry that state or Nevada.
| Infidel Bob reached tho end O.
his tether at Chicago when be at
tempted a speech in favor OF Gresl
am and against Blaine and Sher
man. TIE delegates howled him
down with torrent Of hlsses and
cat calls his onslaughtss on Nose
and Christianity never called forth
MIR. Ingersoll will roost lower herr
after. He can rail at sacred things
at his pleasure, bu. he must leave
the Republican idols alone.
Representative Mills says of th'
Chicago platform sit is q very
bold declaration of the policy of th'
Republicans, They haYe put thei
party up for free whiskey ratho
than for reduction in th'
price of the necessities o.
life. 1t is a triumph of Kelley
and the Pennsylvania idea over thu
Republicans of the West and North
west. The Republican party is nov
thoroughly committed TO free whisk
ey and to free tradc in whiskey, ant
against any popular reduction in th'
custom duties for the benefit of th'
people. The country knows ex
ac;ly where the Republicans stand.
There cen be no mistaking the ISSUE
