The nomination of Harrison and Morton
evidently strikes the Republicans most ia
vorably. From East, West, North and
South come nothing but concentrations.
The high personal character Of the candi-
dates. their ability, their distinguished rec
ords, are admitted by political foes as well
as political friends. The Republicans be-
lieye they have ticket with which they can
win, and they 60 into the campaign enthusi-
astic and confident. From now until Novem-
Der there will be no relaxation Of effort to
crown with success the contest so we'll be-
gun at Chicago. Upon Republican banners

ing man, ""Amcrica for Americans" Free
ballot and fair count" and the Perfection
and extension Of civil service reform" so
auspiciously begun under Republican. adj
ministrations. but so foully dealt with by the
administration of Grover Cleveland. The
Issues are such as will enlist the sympathies
of the masses, and the position of the Re-
publicans will inevitably turn them toward
the platform and the ticket of the Chicago
convention.
The Republicans will enter the campaign
thoroughly harmonious. The convention
has left behind no bitterness, no wounds.
All the defeated candidates and their friends
can heartily support Harrison and Morton.
The head Of the ticket will appeal powerful
ly to the soldier element, whom the Demo-
cratic administration has affronted by its
sneering yetoes of pension bills, and
Its catering rather to the men
who sought to destroy the Union than to
those who imperilled their lives it its pres
ervation and defence. Gen. Harrison has
noble record as a soldier. Early in the con-
test he took the field and he did not leave it
until the contest was over and the victory
virtually won. He was ever in the thickest
Of the fight and his bravery and devotion
won the special commentator of his supe-
riors. He knows the soldiers wants, he APP
preciates their deserts, and no act of his will
prevent, but on the contrary he will assist,
the paying Of the debt of gratitude which the
country owes to the men who imperilled life
and health in its behalf. Every man that
believes in protection to American labor, in
the extension and perfection of the reform of
the civil service, in the right of every Ameri-
can citizen to vote and have his vote counted
must rally beneath the banner Of Harrison
and Morton. Cleveland and Thurman rep
resent none of these things. The platform
on which they stand declares practically for
free trade, ignores civil service reform, and
the party which adopted it habitually dis
franchises thousands and tens of thousands
of American citizens.

Central Africa is as prolific in marvellous
stories as in fevers and huge beasts. This is
one of the reasons that make the situation
of an explorer the subject of SO many alarms
and fears. At the time when there is so
much uncertainty about Stanley. there comes
up from the Equatorial Province, along the
Nile to Khartonm, and thence to the English
outposts at Suakim story that has been
passed along fIom Arab to Arab that mys-
FERROUS white pasta" has made his appear
ance in the Equatorial regions with large
force of men. This story has given rise to
much speculation in England, and not few
are ready to jump at the conclusion that
Gordon really escaped from Khartoum and
that now, by his wonderful influence around
the headwaters of the Nile, is making his
powers felt. Others think that Edmund
O,Donovan, a famous and brave war cores
pendent who is believed to have persisted
early in the revolt Of the mahdi, is the mys-
terious white man. Another explanation is
that Stanley has joined Emin Bey, and that
together they are setting things to rights in
the Southern provinces. This is the most
plausible theory, and one which the people
of the civilized world will be glad to credit
in the absence of any better news from
Stanley. But after all the story of the
white pasha" sounds very much like a fish
story.

PEELED to refrain from the work of 'practi-
cal politics, and interference in nominations
and elections, it has come to be
notorious that Democratic Office hold
ers are the controlling manipulators of
primaries and of conventions. The prom
Used reform of the civil service, and the
promised prevention of Office holders under
taking to run political parties, have been de-
liberately and systematically repudiated."
This weighty arraignment comes just at the
time when certain independent voters and
newspapers are affecting to believe that in
Cleveland lies the hope of the future of the
country. And they do this in face Of the
fact that no Democratic statesman of repute
will venture to call in question Senator Ed
mundss statements The frankest of them
will no doubt unblushingly admit them.

The Argus says the election of Cleveland
is foregone conclusion. That prophecy
would be much more inspiring to the Democ-
racy if the character of the Argus as a
prophet stood higher. But it has made so
many prophecies which have been nullified
by the event that nobody pays any more at
tention to Its political predictions than to
Wiggins's meteorological prophecies. For
twenty years past the Argus has invariably
predicted every four years the election Of
the Democratic Presidential candidate.

In the July number of the Forum Senator
Edmunds presents to the public an able and
interesting review Of the political situation.
Among the other topics of which he speaks
are the pretentlons of the Democratic party
concerning civil service reform. The
hypocrisy of the Cleveland plan of managing
the civil service has been pretty thoroughly
understood for some time; but Senator Ed
munds, speaking from the experience Of long
years of public service, adds an arraign-
ment Of tremendous force. 1T may be safe
ly asserted" he says, shat there has not
been, since the foundation of the govern
ment, more sweeping and persistent and
political removal of citizens holding minor
offices and employments than under the
present administration. At first it was
done, in some degree, under the representa-
tion that the officers in question had been
guilty of undue political activity or
misconduct in office or inefficiency, these
accusations being supported by affidayita
made in secret and kept secret In the posses
sion of the President or the departments.
In most instances they were grossly untrue,
and in some perjured, and the officers ac-
cused were denied all knowledge and inspec-
ton Of the charges and all means Of defense.
The authors of the misrepresentation and
perjury, having accomplished their purpose,
were screened from criminal prosecution and
public contempt, while their helpless victims
were expelled from Office under profession
Of reform in the civil service. And instead
of the holders Of the public office being COM

STRONG AND CLEAN MEN.
[Kennebec Journal
Both candidates are strong, clean men,
thoroughly imbued with the spirit OF Ameri-
canism, and firmly believing in the advance
ment Of the interests of the United States in
preference to those of any other nation. Both
have always been found on the right side of
all the great questions of the day 1t is a
ticket which will grow stronger and stronger
as the people grow more and more familiar
with its candidates. 1t has no weak places.
1t will be popular with all classes and in all
sections. While the Republicans of Maine.
in company with large majority of those in
other States, would have preferred to have
had the leadership Of the party entrusted to
the eminent statesman, who led it in the last
campaign, and who is nearer to the Republic
can masses of the country than any other
man, yet they know that his own expressed
wishes alone prevented this from being done
spontaneously. They will rally to the en-
thusiastic support Of the splendid ticket
nominated at the Chicago convention, and
the watchword Of the party will be Harrison
and Morton, Protection and Victory.

The Republican convention resolved that
the first taxes to be removed should be the
direct taxes, that is, the taxes collected under
the internal revenue laws. This, it seems to
us, is the proper course to pursue. The in
ternal revenue taxes are emergency taxes,
levied to help carry on great war. Now
that the war is over and our expenses have
been SO reduced that all the money annu-
ally collected is not needed, the logical thing
to do is to discontinue the direct taxes, which
are harder to collect and are more seriously
felt than the indirect revenue derived
through the custom houses. Besides the re-
peal of the internal revenue taxes is more
certain to reduce the surplus than amend
ment Of the tariff. A reduction Of custom
house duties may reduce the revenue or 1t
may increase tit is quite as likely to do
the latter as the former. But a repeal of
the internal taxes is certain to reduce it by
the amount of those taxes.
