DEMOCRATIC DEMAGOGY.

Democratic journals afford amusing
reading just now. More than three
fourths of them make frantic protest
against the Democratic party being re-
garded as opposed TO protection. and
insist with pitiful pleading that Mr..
Cleveland is not in favor of free trade.
This is the popular style and tone of the
average Democratic leader of today.
This is the burden of the Democratic
editors song.
The woods are full of men who pro-
claim with one breath that they are not
free traders, bat who in the next
savagelv attack the whole tariff system
as wicked and unjust. The man who
wrote the following is for Cleveland,
and if anyone should hint that he and
his candidate are free traders, he would
probably say, in the language of the
great and good Daniel DoughertY, on
are a liar, sir!' Yet here is the way he
denounces the tariff laws. He speaks
not of high tariff or low tariff, but of the
whole or custom house system:
1t is unequal in its distribution of bur
dens, bearing more heavily on those least
able to pay. 1t is clearly to the advantage
of the few and to the detriment of the
many. 1t piles up money in our national
treasury to be stumbling block in the
paths of our legislators. 1t encourages
lavish expenditure of the peoples money.
1t fosters trusts and combines. 1t con-
centrates capital in the hands of few.
This is fair sample of the Demo-
cratic method of presenting the ques-
ton. 1t is simply an array of assertions
without so much as a pretense of reason
or argument to sustain them, in the alb
sence Of which it is only necessary to
point to the accomplished facts OF the
financial and industrial development of
the country, the results of the system
our astute Democratic friends so loudly
decry.

THE CANDIDATES IN CONTRAST.

The st. Louis convention had no con-
sideration of candidates. 1t simply met
to nominate a man unknown eight
years ago, neither as statesman, scholar
nor a soldier, but the most conspicuous
creation of luck and circumstances that
this century has produced. Nor was he
nominated because he possessed the af-
lection Of his party, but solely because
he had the luck to ''get there" and the
desire for the spoils of office made his
party seek to retain him for its figure
head.
How different the exhibition made by
the Republican party at Chicago. Here
were dozen candidates of national rep
utation, most of whom were known and
admired before Grover Cleveland was
discovered as the sheriff of Erie comfy,
and all of whom are his superiors in
most of those qualities Of mind and
character, which have been regarded
heretofore as essentials for presidential
candidate. What party would not be
proud Of having such men in its ranks as
the list of unsuccessful candidates be-
fore the Chicago convention? And back
of all the great leader who could so
easily have received the honor, and re-
fused it? And all will cheerfully &C
cept the result and give their energies to
win success for the great party which is
more than any candidate.

THE "LEADER" PLAYED OUT.

Somebody, we never stopped to en-
quire who, but some of them living here
in Wichita, started a prohibition or third
party organ in Wichita, short time
since, named the Leader. Because few
third party-ites and Democrats run Gov
ernor Martin and the executive council,
the runners of this Leader" got the
idea, we suppose, that it would jump to
the front as an organ of something or
somebody. But the men who sustain
the police commission rule of this city
are not noted for sustaining anything
which touches their pockets in serious
way. They are for themselves. The
Leader fellows, who promised to swing
Heaven and earth, soon found this out,
so they moved their organ to the great
prohibition stronghold of Topeka in
order that they might be closer to their
patron saints, we suppose. These patron
saints at Topeka proved to be great
poserS when it comes to making Wichita
sweat, but weak enough otherwise, SO
the great Leader collapses with the woe
full wall that 1.-The Prohibition party Of
Kansas is a farce and fraud, that it is
financially bankrupt" and that, as for
honor, that with the party lis an I'M
known quantity, SO enthusiastically small
that a microscope of the most powerful
lens would fail to discover the remotest
resemblance to the least possible degree
of such an attribute"

COURAGE VS. REcKLEssNEss.

True courage and genuine bravery are
qualities that are universally admired
wherever and under whatever circum-
stances, but there is a marked dlStlnc-
ton between these and hardihood and
recklesSness, exhibitions of which latter
produce feeling of pity if not contempt
and disgust. Without following out IN
detail and by illustration the contrast
drawn by these characteristics as they
prompt men to action, we simply wish
to call attention to the persistence Of Mr..
Cleveland in displaying the latter quail
ties by vetoing private measures passed
by congress-in some cases by the unan-
imous vote of both houses-for the re-
lief and benefit of ex-soldiers of the
Union army. 1t is needless to discuss
the merits Of these measures; they are
invariably referred to and pass
being acted upon in either house, which
committee is not only morally and intel
lectually competent to pass upon the
merits Of the claims involved, but are
aided by all the proofs necessary to en-
able them to arrive at just decision In
each case. In view, therefore, of such
proceeding on the part of the peoples
representatives, who constitute an indie
pendent department of the government
and who are responsible to the people,
not the president, for their acts, for that
official to arrogate to himself dictatorial
functions and by veteing such measures
as we have named, or any other as for
that, under like circumstances, is but to
invite criticism and censure from all
without regard to party utilization, and
force the conviction that he is of the
second class mentioned above. Mr..
Cleveland's vetoes of pension bills at any
time, and more particularly at the pres
ent juncture, cannot be characterized as
displays of true courage, but foolhardy
nerve

IT'S NONE OFYoUR BUSINESS.

Under the above heading, the Portland
Oregonian calls attention to these facts:
The total vote of Oregon this year a
little exceeded 60,000. This is the num-
Der of persons voting in the election of
the single member of congress for that
state.
Georgia has ten representatives in the
present congress. The total vote cast
for these ten members was 23,SO6 and
but 1000 votes were recorded against
them.
Kansas sends seven representatives to
congress with 251, 81 votes. Mississippi
sends the same number with A, 557 votes.
In South Carolina, Alabama. and other
southern states the conditions are about
the same as in Georgia and Mississippi.
In other words, says the Oregonian,
1.-The south gets its representation in con-
gress and in the electoral college ON the
basis of a large population whose
vote is suppressed, coerced or thrown
out Of the count. True. 1913 votes in the
electoral college are assured to the DEM
ocratic party without another effort than
that required to write the certificates of
election, Forty-eight more in the north
would give Cleveland another term. In
the Louisiana election Of April last the
governor issued orders to coerce or fabri-
cate Democratic majorities, and when
ingalls, i'll the senate denounced the as
founding spurious majority that was
produced. Senator Eustis arose and in
solently told him, 1T Is none of your
business That is, the south by sup
preston of the ballot and burlesque Of
the ballot box steals thirty-three addi-
tional members of congress and imposes

AS TO DARK HORSES.

When the great Chicago convention,
a week ago this evening, adjourned I'M
til 10 o'clock Monday morning, the first
thought that suggested Itself to the minds
of ninety-nine out of every hundred per-
sons who had been watching the pro-
ceedings of the convention as announced
in the dispatches was, the nominee would
be either Blaine or a dark horse. But
political conventions are not bound by
the rules of logic as the sequel in this
case shows. Mr.. Blaine's name was
never formally presented before the con-
vention, nor was it necessary at any time
for the convention to resort to the eXpe-
diency of bringing forward new name;
it was no very difficult matter to make a
choice when the bearings had all been
taken and the situation properly consid-
cred. Unlike Abraham Lincoln. R. b.
Hayes and James A. Garfield the nomi-
nation of Benjamin Harrison was not
unexpected.
As to other dark horse candidates,
James K. Polk had not been mentioned
or thought of for that office until the
convention which nominated him had
canvassed about everybody else. The
same is true of Franklin Pierce, the first
Buffalo Fortunatus. Mr.. Polk was
thought to lower the standard of presi-
dents, though he had been speaker of the
house of congress. Franklin Pierce had
been a United States senator, but had
failed to make reputation, and had re-
tired from public life. Both of these
nominations proved to be highly success

GENERAL HARRIsON'S SYMPATHY
WITH IRELAND.

On the night of December 5. 1887, the
people of Indianapolis gave a reception
to Hon. Arthur O'Conner and Sir Thomas
Grattan Esmonde, Irish members of
parliament. After the speeches of the
two honorable visitors, General Harri-
son, who was present on the platform
with others, was called for, and spoke
for minute or two before adjourn
ment. He said he was glad to have
heard the distinguished gentlemen who
stand for Ireland in the English parlia-
ment, and most so because they had
brought out so strongly the power of
self-command of the Irish people. We
are accustomed to think of the Irish
man as reckless, daring man, who
would throw himself on the bayonets Of
his oppressors, but in this particular, of
the steady, calm submission to oppres
sive laws, he appears as a greater and
stronger man. William O'Brien is doing
more for Ireland in Tullamore jail than
he could by armed resistance, and there
is no intelligent man who would not
rather be William O'Brien today than
the lord-lieutenant III Dublin castle.
