NOTES AND COMMENTS:

AS lllc IlOGLeI loves llct DHu UOy
best the Republican party will always
love Jim Blaine. -LoulsUiUe Courier
journal.
TO Mr.. Blaine is due the credit
for making the cuspidor, nee spittoon,
a novel and prominent issue in politics.
Chicago News.
Don't forget one thing-a low
tariff and high wages generally go to-
gether. That is one of the solemn
facts of history in this country.-M T.
Herald.
1t is funny to see so many prom
inent Republicans struggling for the
privilege of being put up by the next
Presidential nominating convention,
only to be knocked down.-Boston
Post.
in this country has passed. Our in
dustries are giants instead of infants.
The infants are the farmers who work
for these giants and pay them for doing
it.-St Paul NecOs.
The nomination of General
Democracy knocks out any hope the
Republicans may have entertained of
making Louisiana a doubtful State next
fall.-St. Louis Republican.
The 6. D. P. has lived it's life,
its destruction has been decreed. We
need have no fear we may do fool
ish thing, we can rest in the satisfac-
ton that they will do more foolish
one. The handwriting is on the wall,
farewell, G. o. P, farewell. -NashUilte
american.
1t will take Il microscope to find
what is left of the Thoebe contest. 1t
is evident enough that Thoebe knew
that he was defeated and cared moth
ing about the contest. The institution
of the contest was simply a dishonest
political trick put on foot for the pur-
pose of annoying Mr.. Carlisle. st.
Louis Post Dispatch.
THE Southerner that fired the
first shot of the wax of the rebellion
has been identified in the person of a
man who was killed the other day at
Charleston in brawl. This question
having been disposed Of interest now
centers in the man who will fire the
last shot. His identity is in doubt, but
it apparently lies between Foraker.

man and MIR. Blaine. - Chicago Herald.
1t may be admitted that certain
idiots issued a circular and adopted
resolutions declaring that Republic
an mayor should not be elected in
Jackson, Miss. If the United States
Senate has authority to interfere in
cases of this kind, it's attention is
called to the desperate efforts the Re-
publicans of the Massachusetts Legis-
lature are now making to suppress the
Democratic vote in the city of Boston.
st. Louis Republican.
The confirmation of Mr. Lamar
as a Justice of the Supreme Court
ought to be accepted as final certif-
cate of the fact that the war which
ended twenty-three years ago is really
"ove r." No more illogical of I'M
patriotic stand was ever taken by a
political party than that assumed by
the Republican Senators in resisting
the confirmation of Mr.. Lamar upon
the old sectional ground. - n. y.
Horld
1t is authenticity declared that
Roscoe Conkling has said to some of
his friends that if the next Presidential
campaign is fought on the tariff issue
b etween Blaine and Cleveland he is
prepared to take the stump for Cleve-
land, believing that the Republican
party can not, withot violating its
pledges and bringing reproach upon
its nrme, refuse to reduce the taxes
which weigh so heavily on producers
and consumers. Mr.. Conkling is further
credited with the remark that President
Cleveland last message was one of
the wisest, boldest and most patriotic
evidences of craftsmanship of recent
years.-N. 7. Times.
