The Democrats seem to agree
with the Republicans on one point,
VIZ: that the "doubtfup state OF
Indianai Is pretty sure to go Re
publican this year.
The leaders of the Democracy at
st. Louis took Mr.. Cleveland for
the same reason that one takes
a pill-nOt because the pill is pala-
table, but its swallowing is expect
ell to produce certain results.
Martin Van Buren, was unani-
mously nominated in 1910, for re-
election to the Presidency, and
was almost unanimously defeated
by the people. Grover may make a
point of this historical incident aud
the possible parallel.
Governor Wilson of West Nir-
ginia, has offered reward OF one
hundred dollars each for the arrest
of twenty.seven men, five hundred
for another man and two hundred
for still another, making thirty-four
hundred in all. This Is the latest
move in the Hatfield.McCoy bus
mess.
The Rochester, New York, Cn'on
is a strong Democratic sheet, yet
It'll getting disguised at the effort
to drag Mrs. Cleveland into the
coming campaign on her husbands
behalf. 1t says:
"This dragging of petticoats IN
TO politlcs-this pantOmimic'hippO'
dromic exhibition of woman up
on the stump for the purpose OF IN
fluenclng the votes OF men must
present to the mind of every right
thinking person a degrading spec
tacle, to say nothing of the insult
it gives to the intelligence OF the
people"
Let the Democrats drive ahead
with their Mills bill and free-trade-
taria-reform policy. They are simply
driving nails IN their own party's
coffin. The wOrkingmen begin to
speak up pretty sharply just now
on this question. At the meeting
of the trades assembly of western
Pennsylvania, representing 6O,OOO
organized wOrkmen, Saturday night
resolutions were unanimously
adopted eomdemning the Mills bill
and all its advocates, and condemn
ing Congressman Scott, of Erie, as
an enemy of labor, as a dangerous
person to the welfare of society and
the industrial progress OF America,
and as q bitter enemy of organized
labor Mr.. Cleveland and his
snti.protectiOn party will rear
something drop next November.
II the Democratic party is not a
free trade party, as many of its
spokesman claim, but on the other
hand is in favor OF tariff sufficient
to run the government economically
administered, why does it not ask
for the adjustment of the Internal
Revenue system? As long as that
system is maintained any tariff that
might be imposed on imports will
bring in a larger revenue than the
government needs. But here is
where Democratic acts give the lie
to Democratic professions. The In
&ernal Reveue system must be
maintained in order to secure free
Grade; for to abolish the former
would make the latter an impOssi-
0ility.-GrqttOR (W. Td.,) Edgie'

Since Mr.. Mills was put at the
head of the ways and means com
mittee in the national house Ofrep-
resentatives, and it became clear
that the house democracy meant
an assault on the tariff aud a let
alone policy as to the internal rev.
enue laws, there have been three
elections OF Importance in tn e
United States.
The first was in Rhode Island
and the Republicans recsptured a
congressional district.
The next was in Illinois, and for
tue Grst time in the history of that
state the Republicans gained con-
troll of its judiciary.
The third was in Oregon, and
there, although "the returns are
not all 10" the Republican majority
Is such as to shame Vermont. The
state seems to be almost entirely
Republican. In Vermont the Re
publicans sometimes detail men to
vote tue Democratic ticket, so that
there may appear to be two parties;
but III Oregon, if the returns are
correctly given, they would have
20 resort to draft TO get men for
such q purpose.
There Is great significance in
these three electctiOns. Rh 0 d e
Island is q manufacturing state,
purely. When a Democratic con.
gresham was elected there, three
years ago, the fact caused uuthink-
ing Democrats to believe that there
was a reaction against protection.
The late elections show the folly OF
this idea.
Illinois has been Republican, sub
Stantislly, for a generation, but the
