PRoeRrss.-The Herald says o! the
Republicans that the party was the van
guard OF progress, and Governor Andrew
Of Massachusetts was in the skirmish line
miles ahead OF the main body
Times have 80 changed, however, that
to-day aggressive reform is represented
by the Democrats, and the Republicans
are pulling 90 hard against II that they
have become overheated and will all
catch the rheumatism when The cold
wave OF November 7 strikes them. Gov
ernor Andrews son, therefore, true to his
fathers principles, turns his back on his
fathers party and will vote for Cleveland.
ARIsToCRAcY IN POLITICs.-A Penn
sylyania paper contains the following
pithy comparison between the two par
ties.
II is only few years since the now
moribund Republican party persistently
and insolently pretended to monopolize
within itself the intelligence and morality
| OF the country. The claim was as false
as that OF its predecessor, the Federalist
party, to the same purposes party
which, like the Republican party, was
aristocratic In all its tendencies and
maigned The Democracy, who followed
the immortal Jefferson as an ignorant
and vicious rabble.
An IRRESISTIBLE POWER The Ma
tionsl Democratic ticket will be elected
in November next because it represents,
in certain leading candidates, an order OF
thought. purpose and motive of higher
standard than has been generally felt be-
fore in American politics. OF such or
der OF thought Mr. Cleveland and Mr..
Hewitt are to be taken as representative
types. Their acts are based on conyic-
tions They are not with my party
right or wrong" They are only with a
party when it is, in their estimation,
right They will not tolerate any iniqui-
" inside of their party, out of policy.
They embody principle and act from a
principle. They stand ready 10 exercise
their functions in Office If ii Is the peo-
pies desire, but they value the principle
more than the Office, and there is a line
they will not pass for any considerations
of place and position.-N. 7. Star.
PROTECTION. Once upon a time Lion
in his cave sent word to all the Beasts OF
the forest that be would give Protection
TO all of them If they would come 20 see
him in his Cave, and each bring him a
small quantity of provisions, which, he
said, would not be much compared with
the benefits OF his Protection. The
Beasts all went into the Cave, each with
provisions for the Lion. The first TO 60
In were the Ass, the Sheep and the Hare,
and the rest followed their exsmple-all
but the Fox, who warily stayed away.
Then the Lion sent the Jackal TO see the
Fox, to induce him to come, with many
fair speeches But the Fox safe No,
would rather be excused, because ! no
ticed to-day that the tracks all went one
way-all going into the Cave and none
coming out.
MORAL.
This Fable teaches that you should not
put your faith in princes Of Plumed
knights OF Carnegies or Opulent Lords
OF the loom when heyprofess so anxious
a desire to protect the farmer and the
laboring man.-Terre Hauie Gazette.
Misunderstanding so harmonizes a
party as to be out of power In that
condition there is one grand controlling,
unanimous sentiment to get into the Off
ces aud blessed hope that every fellow
will get something. Once in, the dis
cords begin TO arise, because there have
never yet been in any form of govern
ment enough Offices to 60 round.-Wash-
ington Post
THE Two SIDEs.-On one side are ar
rayed special interests, trusts and com
binations of capital of alarming growth
which through excessive protection draw
their sustenanee from the people; on the
other, the great mass of producers and
consumers, who are oppressiyely taxed
TO promote these dangerous sggregatiOns
of wealth and power. 4 vote for reform
