Hon. Joe Woods for Speaker.

To Tie Editor 0ThE Register:
SIR: It is understood thst Ohio county
will present the name of Delegate j. j.
Woods for the position Of Speaker Of the
House. 1t is urged that the Democratic
LaaioTity will be very small; that the Re-
public0ns will Re yigilsnt and oggrsssiSei
that there will probably be a bitter and
protracted contest over the Governor
election, and that, therefore. it Is nece5-
sary to have as presiding cli-er the most
capable and experienced man that can be
had.
1t is said on b.hnIf Of Mr.. Woods that
he has served, either in the Senate or
House, in eyery session OF the Legislature
but one for ths past ten years; that he was
Speaker Cf the House n term; that in
other sessions he was frequently called
upon to preside; that he WAS selected as
chairman Of the Democratic caucus of tie
list Legislature when excitement and
trouble was expected, and that he always
met with signal succsss snd showed him.
self to be we'll posted lii parliamentary
law and 4 skilfal pre3iding officer. While
fully recognizing the merits OF other gen.
tlsmen it is claimed, in view OF the condi-
tions that will confront the Democrats in
the next House, that Mr.. Woods is tbs
most available mar for Speaker.

complete abandonment of its own honor
and self-respect to the domination OF men
whose only claim to obedience is their
power to purchase woes, cannot hope to re-
tain the confidence Of the people or to gain
another term of Office by even 70 narrow a
margin as thai Of the Republicans in the
late election. But this is not the only or
the chief reason for the conclusion that the
cause of tariff reform is nearer to its tri-
umph than it was q year sgo in spite OF lts
apparent et-back. Even if the Repnbh-
cans had interpreted the judgment OF the
people as it ought to have been inter
preted and had undertaken in good faith
10 revise and reduce the tariff duties that
are known to foster monopo!ies and COM
binaticns, they could not have checked
the movement tow ard reform, because
that movement has been set on foot
by forces that are not political or tempo
rary, bat are produced by the economic
condition of the county, and will rot
cease to work until they haze accomplished
their purpose. Tariff rePru ID absolutely
necessary TO the healthy development OF
the of the country, and, what is
more, to the natural and inevitable pro
gress Ct the enterprises, very grest, numer-
Gus, and various, that depend upon that
development. Qaite apart from sny theory
OF protection or free trade, the industrial
forces of the United States have reached
the roint where their product must seek
foreign markets. Every clog to their
proVress toward access 10 these markets
will have 10 be removed, and this ls
especially true of these that are artifcially
created by legislation, ard that can be
reached by public opinion and by vo!e3.
When the high tariff ogAin comes before
the people it will be forced 10 meet the
criticism and the opposition, not only Of
those who by study aud observation have
been convinced of its unwisdOm, but by
Organized interests 10 which il is hostile,
by msn whose prosperity depends directly
upon iSs reform. That is the fact that
makes the future of tariff reform secure,
in spits of the rayersea that il has lstely
been obliged TO ]euCOuCJer.

The Republican Pledges.
~. VorL Vo.Id

1t often turns out that party pledges are
made TO be broken, ss umbrellas and Sin
ne,s ara said TO be made to be lest"
But in considering the chances of q clean
sweep" It is well 70 recall the pledges Of
the Republican party and It's candidate on
this question.
The Republican platform declared in
favor of 1.-The further extension OF the re-
form system to all grades of the service to
whichit is applicable" and declared that
'the spirit and purpose of the reform
should be observed in all erecutiue appoint
ments" Inssmuch az the spirit ard pur-
lose of the reform are to separate the
minor offices from party politics and TO
base appointments upon itIe S rather than
favor, il Is clear that removals for party
reasons would be contrary to the RePubil-
can platform.
In his letter of acceptance Gen. Harrison
said:
In appointments TO every grade and depart
ment fitness and not party service should De the
essential and discriminating test, and hdeLty
and efficiency the only sure tennre on Smee.
Us, TenOud.s from office. l know the practlCaI
difficulties attending the attempt 70 apply the
spirit of the Gvil-SeTvice rules 10 all appoint
ments and removals; /! Will, however, DC my
sincere purpose, if elected, TO GdrGHee ne Tgorm'
To say that MI. Harrison as President
will not make removals for party resSO3s
is only 10 asy that he is an honest man,
which We are glad 10 believe him to be.
Having steadily advocated and defended
the reform principle since the Democrats
came into power the World is simply coz
sis.eat in insisting that there should be
under Republican Iuls 70 removals with
out cause.
