The Democratic Clubs.

The convention Of democratic clubs at
Baltimore, which adjourned Thursday, was
very enthusiastic and successful one.
Very nearly 500 clubs in different parts of
the country were represented, and the
enthusiasm which was manifested indicates
that the campaign will be a lively one on
the part of the democrats The organiza-
ton of clubs will go on steadily until a
very large percentage of all the young
democrats of the country, particularly
in the northern states, is enrolled in them.
There are over 100 clubs already orga izsd
i'll Indiana, and before tho end OF this
month it is probable that the number will
be twice as great Both parties will make
an extraordinary effort to carry that state,
and there will be plenty Of hard work for
the democratic clubs to do.
According to the plan adopted at the
Baltimore convention, the clubs of each
state and territory will compose an associa-
ton with proper officers, and these associa-
tionS will compose a grand national aSsocie-
tion, having a president, secretary and
treasurer. Communication between the
different associations will DO kept up, and

Now that the Gettysburg reunion is over.
the grumbiers are having their innings.
They say the reunion was miserably mis-
managed from beginning to end, and was
sort of one-man affair, several generals
from Now York gaining a lot of cheap
glory aud everybody else being ignored. In
other words, the veterans vino wanted to be
made conspicuous and were denied that

warlile manner. Grumblers of this sort
are not uncommon, and their growls don't
amount to much. What IS more TO be re-
GREETED is that the bloody shirt disciples
have begun TO get in their work. They
assert that they are tired of hearing so
much about Picketts charge, as if Pickett's
men were the only heroes of the dav; they

Nicknames in Politics.

1t wa Napoleon who said that nicl,names

with them a sort Of power, creating among

SONS to whom characteristic ones are ap-
piled, and in this way arousing enthusiasm
that otherwise might not exist.
Mechanics have played quite a promi-
nent rart in American politics The first
presidential candidate to whom one was ap-
piled was Andrew jackson, who, during his
successful campaign of 1898, was Familiarity

GENERAL HARRISON said just enough re-
specting the political lies concccted and cir
culated by the Democratic campaign manag-
ers. These people have wofully miscalculated
the intelligence of American ~workingmen.
We are satisfied that the tactics of the Demo
cratic scandal-mongers have reacted greatly in
favor of General Harrison. From every quar-
ter come indications of a revolt against the
monstrous calumnies set afioat, which affront
common sense and arouse honest indignation.
The last eight years have been years of educa-
ton. The public is a reading, thinking, in
telligent public. This has been "a campaign
of intellect" on the part of the thinking peo-
pie of the country, and they are a majority.
While the Democratic managers have been
playing tricks for the slums and fools, the in
telligent workingmen of the United States
have been quietly at work reading and listen
ing, and making up their minds.
