Grover Cleveland. 1t is given out
that Cleveland has contributed $l0,-
600 to the democratic campaign
fund. This is probably lie, but it
will have the effect intended-that
of making the small fry officials
come down with the cash. 1t is also
said chat Postmaster General Dick
inson has given $4,000, Secretary
Villas the sams amount, and Secre-
tary Whitney $4,000. Office holders
are making stump speeches all over
the country; but of course, it is
not "pernicious activity" to work
for Cleveland.
The country has been nauseated
with constantly hearing of "demo-
cratic economy" during the past
two ar three years. Senator Allison
has shown this week, in speech in
the Senate, that it has cost the
people of this country just $95, Oo0,-
900 more to run the Government
under a democratic administration
than it did under the Garfeld-Ar-
thur admin stration. No claim that
has ever been put forward by the
democratic party for the confidence
of the people of this country will
stand the test Of common sense and
mathematics.
Senator Plumb, from the commit
tee on appropriations, has reported
the Notifications bill to the Senate.
1t appropriates SIS, 1922, 900, and there
is also provision under which So
100000 additional may be spent at a
rate not exceeding s2,OoO,0o0 year
for the purchase of guns.
Senator Allison has exploded the
futile attempt of the democrats of
the House to throw the responsible
ity for the extravagant appropri-
atoms which have eaten up the
annual surplus for the present fiscal
year upon the republican Senate, be-
cause that body added items to the
appropriation bills as passed by the
House. The House cut down the
amounts asked for by the democratic
heads of departments, and the latter
went to the Senate with their esti.
mates. That is how the items came
to be increased. The republicans
thought that the money had just as
well be given them this year in the
regular appropriation bills, as to
have to pass deficiency bills for the
same purpose next year.
Mr.. Cleveland refused to attend
the Changers meeting this week at
Williams Grove, Pa, in order to go
on three days fishing trip to West
Virginia.
The House had a quorum this
week, it is extremely doubtful if II
can keep it.
Representative Yost, of Virginia,
made an exhaustive speech in the
House Monday in favor of the Blair
Educational bill. Owing to the
cowardly tactics adopted by the
democrats, this bill has never been
even reported to the House, although
it passed the Senate early in the
session.

of promoting the welfare Of the
country. The Democratic president
preached reform Ia the civil service.
He carried out his tenets by the re-
moyal of true and tried servants of
the public and the appointment in
many cases of men disloyal ineffi-
cient and corrupt. a compilation
of his appointments recently made
shows that the list of criminals en-
braces 1877, not including twenty
two persons guilty of political
crimes and ffty-nine other persons
directly connected with the criminal
classes. Fully one-third of the APP
pointees of the Democratic presi-
dent have been guilty of the crime
of treason; and this does not in
clude the appointment of Copper,
heads, whose disloyalty once made
them infamous. Perhaps the worse
feature of the record is the persis-
tency with which men have been
appointed, after their bad character
or unfitness had been exposed by
volumes of evidence. Even Presi-
dent Cleveland's cabinet is not free
from this faint. This has been the
record of the men whose utterance
has been that public office is a pub
lie trust, and whose practice has
been to make public Office a private
trust.
The young men of Wisconsin who
will this fall cast their first votes for
presidential candidates were born
during or Immediately after the try
ing period in the nations history,
when their fathers were seeking TO
maintain its existence, and in which
struggle many laid down their lives.
They will have to fight with the
ballot to-day the struggle which
their fathers quarter of century
ago with the bullet. The same in.
fuences which were at work then
are operating now. The result can
be seen in the suppression of the
eOuluSiu lhc publlOdh NObc, WHlIL
practically leaves several millions
of legal voters disfranchised, though
their numbers count in the represen-
tation accorded to the south in Con-
gress. 1t can be seen in the dema-
gogical measure denominated the
Mills bill, which would give pro-
lection to southern industries and
cripple those of the north.
The members of the Young Mems
Republican club of Milwaukee be-
lieve that they do not appeal in vain
to the patriotism and good judgment
of the young men of the state, of
whatever political antecedents, in
asking them to enroll themselves in
the grand army which next Novem-
Der will fight the battle of protec-
ton and good government at the
polls.

The men who think that wool is

fantastic shapes before it is sent to

A DEMOCRATIC newspaper neatly
says that the Harrison men of 1910,
who are organizing in the support
of General Benjamin Harrison, are
cold fogies, living in their second
childhood" As the Democratic
candidate for Vice President was a
mature young man of 81 in 1840,
and probably voted even as far back
as lS36-ffty-two years ago-the
intimation that men some years
younger than he are in "their second
childhood" has an apt application.
AT a Harrison and Morton meet
ing in Hornellsville, N. Y, few
days ago, a man who never voted any
thing but a Democratic ticket in his
life, was made chairman of the

made vice-presidents, six more We're
