CONGRESSMAN LAFoLLETTE, upon
bis return to Washington last week
from NewY ork city, where he went
to attend meeting Of the executive
committee of the Republican clubs,
reported that he had several consul
tations with Republican managers,
and found them in most excellent
spirits over the outlook. They are
not only hopeful but confident. Mr..
LaFollette speaks il the highest
terms of Senator Quay's manage
ment, and considers him the best
man who has ever handled a canvass
since Senator Zach Chambers time.
In regard to the outlook in New
York State, outside Of the city,
everything is harmonious. Large
numbers of Democrats who voted
for Cleveland have joined Harrison
clubs and from present indications
Harrison will come to the Harlem
river with at least 10000 more ma
iority than Blaine had in the city
Republican prospects are most ex
cellent and gains are reported on all
sides. With full vote and fail
contest Harrison will cut down
Cleveland's majority there consider
ably and should carry the state by
at least $4,000.

Robert M. LaFoIIette.

Hon. Robert NJ. LsFollette, the
able and influential representative
in Congress from this district, comes
in for large share Of abuse in the
Madison Democrat of last Friday
morning. He is charged with being
demsgoGuo and with various other
faults. 1t is not necessary in this
community, where Mr.. LaFollette is
80 well known to the people, to de
fend him against any charge. He
has spoken for himself SO ably and
so well, both to his people at home
and in Congress, that he is rated
among the able and true men of the
country. He is honored and re-
spected by all persons who know
him. In Congress, very few mem
bers have ever entered that body
and in 80 short time as Mr.. La
Toilette has been there, won so high
place in the estimation of his
fellows and with the people all over
the country as that gentleman has
done. He is recognized as one of
the most valuable men in the House.
He is able, industrious and faithful
to every trust. He does not speak
often, but when be does arise to
make a speech, he receives the full
attention of the members, an honor
accorded only to the best speakers.
The trouble with the Democrat is,
that Mr.. LaFollette is strongly in
favor of the protection of American
industries, Of American labor, as
against free trade. He has taken a
prominent stand against the free
trade leaders in Congress, and has
given them hard blows. Even
Speaker Carlisle received a severe
drubbing his hands. For these
things Mr.. LaFollette is not liked
by the Democrat, whose candidate
for Congress Is known to be an ultra
advocate of the doctrine of free
trade. 1t proves that Mr.. LaFol
lette is made of the true metal, wher
it is sho, that he went through the
college course under the teschingI

The Senate Bill.
REELECTION WITHOUT DESTRUCTION

REDUCTION WITHOUT DESTRUCTION.
The tariff bill prepared by the
Senate finance committee, says the
Cincinnati ImeS-Stdr, is a measure
designed to effect an adequate re-
duction OF the Federal revenue with
out imparing our protective system.
AS any one can see, 1t ID very Tar
from being the mere political make
shift that Democratic papers have
been telling us the Senate would
devise for the purpose of meeting
an exigency of party warfare. 1t Is
careful and comprehensive rovis-
ion, extending through all the i'm
portant schedules. While the free
list has been considerably enlarged,
providing for a reduction IN the
revenue of about S6,50O,000 no
home industry is sacrificed. The
total reduction effected in the tariff
and internal revenue is estimated al
SIS, 100000, about 100000 more
than the estimated reduction by the
Mills bill.
The wide difference between the
two pending bills, one Democratic
and the other Republican, is most
apparent, fl rst in the free lists, and
next in the schedules of chemicals
metals, woodenware and lumber
and wool and woolens. Among the
articles free-listed by the Demo,
cratic House are wool, hemp, flax
salt and lumber These are retained
| in the dutiable list by the Republi.
can bill, with slight changes in the
rates. The Mills bill cuts down the
chemical schedule thirty -four pei
cent. the metal schedule thirty three
PEI cent, the wool and wooden
schedule tifty-three per cent, wooden
ware and lumber nearly 100 pei
cent. Here are sweeping reductions
the metal schedule being left witt
an average duty Of but twenty
per cent. The Republican measur,
changes the present duties somewha
In an Of these schedules, but leave
i the rates sufficiently high to afor,

At the close of his speech Mr..
Hanback, was greeted with yocifer'
GUS and continued cheers, which
lasted for several minutes. Many
delegates present were acquainted
with the speaker, and had often
heard him make political speech
but all avowed that this was the
most magnificent and illustriou:
political effueion ever produced by
this noble representative of the Re
publican party. We certainly arc

Democracy's Last Resort.

The information is sent out on re-
liable authority that the Democrats
are preparing to resort during the
closing weeks of the campaign to
methods of falsehood, fraud and
forgery in the most unblushing aud
INSCRIPTIONS manner. The infor-
nation comes from reliable Demo
cratic sources, and can be depended
upon as true, 50 far as Democratic
intentions go. The tide of political
drift has been steadily away from
the Democratic party. Each week
of the campaign has witnessed new
accessions to the Republican ranks,
and corresponding gloom and de-
preston at Democratic headquarters.
Grown desperate at the prospect of
defeat, the Democratic managers are
preparing to employ the most infa-
nous methods that can be devised.
They will wait until the campaign
is nearly over, 40 late that they can
hope that their despicable plans can
not be exposed, and then will rely
upon foul means to secure what they
cannot hope to get by fair ones. 1t
il minated that forgeries will be
put forth beside which the Morey
letter forgery of 1880 will seem a
trivial affair. 1t should not be for
gotten that the chairman of the
Democratic committee is the same
man who, az chairman in 1880, bold
ly proposed to buy the electoral
vote of Oregon. 1t should not be
forgotten that the author OF the
! Morey letter was Democrat, hired
by Democratic money. 1t should
not be forgotten that the Democratic
lis the only party that ever has at
tempted to carry elections by trauc
and violence, and then boosted OF
the fact. 1t should not be forgotten
that having had a taste OF the de
lights Of power, the Democrats are
more fierce for its continuance thar
they were for its possession fou
years ago. And remembering these
things, it behooves all good CITIZEN
to be on their guard from now til
election against any desperate meas
ures which the Democrats may un
dertake. Republican speakers anC
Republican, papers should warn thei
hearers aud readers to be prepared
for a flood of Democratic torgerie
and falsehoods in the closing weel
of the campaign. The fact tina
i Democratic sensations and pretended
discoveries are held back till then
should be in itself evidence of thei
falseness. The people know by thi
time the issue between the parties
ANY attempt to spring startling sen
sations of a personal nature near Tia
close of the campaign should b
promptly denounced as forgerie
and falsehoods. Such roorbachs
we have reason to believe, are being
held back for that purpose. Let tn
people therefore be on their guard
! IF prepared for such displays o
Democratic desperation, they vii
not be deceived. The prospects ar
very bright for Republican success;
Let every Republican speaker war
the people against the desperat
schemes Of the opposition, aud b
t being forewlrned they viii be fore
armed.-Io,ca State Register.

WASHLNGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.


WASHINGTON. Oct. 18th. 1888.
Senator Hale's committee to in
vestigate the violations of the Civil
Service law by the present admins
tration, has submitted it's reports to
the Senate. The report makes a
printed pamphlet of fifty pages, and
every page convicts some Demo
cratic official of breaking the law.
The following is summary of the
report:
That partisan changes have been
made in the Federal offices in a
wholesale way, under no pretense
that the good of the service de-
mauded such changes. In most
marked instances, as in Philadelphia,
Baltimore, indianapolis and New
York, these changes have been fol-
lowed by scandals in the public ser
vice. which has been rendered less
efficient by reason of the changes.
That Federal officials, contrary TO
the direction of the President, as
found in his letter of July IA, 1886,
has openly participated in political
conventions and primary elections.
In no case does the committee find
that any Federal officer has been
disciplined for such interference in
politics, but on the other hand such
interference has been repeatedly
recognized and rewarded. That tho
system of levying assessments upor
f deral office holders for politica
purposes has been continued without
interruption since the present ad
miuistration came into power 1t II
not to be expected that subordlnate'
will be justified in considering as sin
cere, declarations of policy which
are so palpably repudiated by then
author, and the fact that the Presi
dent of the United States, in a cam
paign in which he has 50 great per
sonal interest, contributes, notorious
