A DELUDDD AND DISHONEST RE-
PUBLICAN PRESS.

The Republican press seeing thatthey
cannot defeat the Dem cratic party
before the Anne lean people, are now
making h~erculean efforts to "Dam-
boozle' tn National ID mocratlc com
mittee. They are earnestly trying TO
discover that there is lack of harmony
and all sorts of internecine strife going
IN within the councils of that import
ant body. That is evidently done to de-
tract public attention from the 9wfu'
chaos and petty quarrels that are sell
~
What with one committeeman urging
the Republican Senators to present It
tariff bill, another urging them not TO
do it, another urging the Bliiue racket
to cease, another to keep Blame to the
front as Harrison as a card is a failure.
Another going still farther and urging
the withdra of Harrison and the sub
stitutiOn of Blaine, and SO many other
plans and specifications 100 numerous
to mention, one would think the Re
publican press had lots Of business to
look after in their own party counc l..
So tar as the Democratic Com
mittee is concerned, il is 'all right
side up and don't you forget it," the
Republican press yarns to the contrary
Notwithstanding. The people kno"
the Republican press of old. They
know Just how unreliable and void Of
truth they are. They remember The
lies of 1884, when they %prophesied dire
distress and business s%tagnation II
Cleveland were elected. Their prophecy
tnaL tue Democrats yould pay therebel
debt, that the Democratic party was
in league with England's lords
with whom Blaine has for four
teen months been hobnobbing)
Oh! no, our Republican brethren, you
can't fool the American people, they
are "onto your racket" and they know
you Will lie just a little for effect. Blu
your lies won't elect "ChiEese" Harri
son, and, "AIe lud" Morton. Because you
have nothing good to say of your com
mittee is no justification for lyinI
about ours, so let up ON that and Civ
us something that has not the Ii
stamped upon it.

FAST LIVING AND ITS RESULT.

The case of a well-known young man
who last week was languishing in the
county jail upon a charge of forgery,
is a striking example of the fast living
youth and the over-indulgent parent.
Here is a young man of ability and
good family repute, left with a fair
competence, but whose habits and asso-
Citations cloud his reason and allure
him into the path of dissipation and ex-
trayagance. Caught in the meshes Of
harlotry and drink, he forgets his duty
to himself, to a loving and anxious
mother, and to mankind in general,
and not only sQuapders his own re-
sources, but being confronted with that
obstacle to a further qualification of
appetite, he begins to impose upon the
credulity and purse of the mother, and
she. with fond parental confidence, is
deceived for a time. This is one of
many similar cases, Unfortunately,
upon the deception becoming manifest,
the parent, forgetting that sternness
aud discipline are as essentlalto youths
government as love and affection, in
dulges the boy again and again in his
eCregious mistakes, and he goes on in
his mad career. Finally the pale line
between offense against the mora
and the statute law becomes
obliterated, he forgets the limit, and q
crime is committed before he realizes
the abyss into whichhe has been precip
itated. Not only then is there placed
upon the escutcheon of his own future
life an irremoyable blot, but the devot
ed parent looking back into the unhap
, nv past and forward to an unhappie
fntTre-seee4learlgt The mistakes of in
! diligence and habits gratiaed by mis-
applied affection. And, as in the cas-
! Of this mother, eyes dimmed with tear

reflect but a meagre part of the awful
!, tale of suffering endured. In mos
/, cases there is a preventive for this sa
ending, and it lies in parental scrutin

IT IS said that to Warner, the patent
medicine man, is due more than to any
other the nomination of Harrison.
Warner has an eye to business. lie
has a blood medicine called Log
Cabin" and a stomach bitters called
@Tippecanoe," and saw a grand oppor-
.4unity to bring them to the particular
notice Of the people, by the nomination
of the great grandson of a great grand
father.

and his patent medicines, but VINO

MR.. BLAINE ON TRUSTS"

Think of James G. Blaine, the So
called champion of labor" justifying
the existence of the mammoth trusts"
whose sole object is to maintain the
prices of breadstuffs and other human
necessities and commodities above a
competitive basis. Mr.. Blaine says
neither Congress nor President Cleve-
land has a right to interfere with these
gigantic monopolies. But that is quite
in keeping with Mr.. Blaine's career.
With him it has always been a sham
word for the the workingmen and men
of moderate means, and a hundred or
more that will count in the result fol-
the millionaires and capitalists like
himself and his pets. But Mr.. Blaine
will find that the American people are
opposed to the "Trust" robberies, ant
they will record it in November.

ROBERT A. LINCOLN VS.. THE DEMA-
GOGUE BLAINE.

Robert A. Lincoln, just returned
from England, says: ut is surprising
the ignorance displayed by the English
people and press regarding the political
contest in this country" Mr.. Lincoln
is a Republican, not interested in poll
tics. Mr.. Blaine, whose political flu
ture is again hanging in the balance,
saws in substance that the English peo-
PIE and press are kept fully informed,
that they are watching tile contest with
the most rapt attention and are hoping
for the success of the Democratic
candidates." MI. Lincoln is a disinter-
ested American who makes his state
ments from true observations. Mr.
Blaine has ian axe to grind" and is en-
gagged in attempting to delude the
American people into the belief that
Cleveland's election means the destruc-
ton of this countrys industries. Mr.
Blaine tried that four years ago and the
American people "sat on him hard.
They will do it again.

of the "Uncrowned King" and "What

the collapse which will take place early
in November, when the g.. o, p. will be
crushed under the weight of a popular
