SHERMAN'S UNQUESTIONED
STRENG TIL.

Sherman represents labor; he re-
presents industrial and commercial
Interests; he is an exponent of the
National idea of the patriotic am :
bition of the American people; as
the originator of the greatest Re
publican measures touching finance
and political economy, he repre-
SCENTS to-day the spirit and substance
of party policy. Mr.. Sherman's
strength among the masses is I'M
questioned. He holds a permanent
MS we'll a. a prominent place in the
esteem Of his nntrY me u,
II proud place in the esteem Of
his fellow Republicans. Is there a
Republican who would not vote for
Sherman IN the event OF his nomln-
.auou? Is there Il man who does not
believe that Sherman administra~
ton would be eminentIy wise and
successful? The followers of MIR.
Blaine belong with the mass of vig-
orous Republicans, as the support
ers OF Mr.. Sher man.

The Republican politicians fold
the wool growers that the wool in
terest would be ruined by the Mills
bill. They advised them tha-price
of wool would go down. In fact, to
gain political point they went to
work as baauss to bring down the
price. Many Republican wool grow
ers believed them and sold their
wool at twenty five cents a pound.
Wool has since gone up to thirty
.esnts and the Republicans who seld
their wool 1t the lewost price now
feel that they have been imposed
upon and had the wool pulled ever

That Surplus.

The public find.it hard to recon-
Gle the statement that the surplus
is being exhausted with the asser-
ton in the Presidents letter of ac-
eeptance that at present the surplus
is more than s13C, OO0, O0a- The
fact is that some weeks ago when
the AnDO1neemeDs was made in
various newspapers that the surplus
was almost exhausted tbose making
the statement appeared to have
ignored the s1OO,OOO,OOO that are
in the Treasury, or to have confused
it with the S1OO, OOO, 900 held for the
redemption of the greenbacks, nor
did they take into account the fact
that at that time s25, 0Oo, 900 had
been already paid out on account of
pensions, and that one quarter of
the expenditures ofthe Government
for the fiscal year had been paid.
And further, in making the compu-
tation, they had included all the
proposed bills in the Senate and the
House, even when the amounts were,
as in the cases of the Fortifcations
bill and the Army Appropriation
bill, practically duplicated. 1t must
be remembered also that of River
and Harbor bill, amounting to s22,-
100000, not more than one-half of
the amount will be expended the
fiscal year. Taking the Presidents
statement of the present surplus the
estimate would show that on the
Both of next June. the end of the
fiscal year, the surplus in the Treas
ury would amount to $3.50, 600 900,

Charley Caldwem.

This gentleman put in an appear
ance at late hour Monday evening
as the subtitute of Col. Poorman,
who was billed to address the Re
publicans at this place.
He was greeted with fair sized
audience, and begun his speech 50
all Republicans do, by yelling ''free
trade" at the Democrats. He tried
to put on sanctified look to deceive
his hearers into the belief that all
he said in defense OF protection, and
all he said about the free trade
Democrats was true. We will give
him credit, however, for being
much more DECENT IN his speech
than he usually is.
Mr.. Caldwell spoke as one labor
ing in bad cause, and feeling and
believing that his audiepee was not
with him in spirit While he was
listened to attentively, and applau-
ded whenever he told an annecdote,
or said something witty, yet his
words made no impression upon his
hearers, except to make them raore
firmly believe i'm tie necessity for
tariff reduction.
His speech was not calculated to
strengthen the people in the befief
that they ought to be taxed OPP
pressryefy IN the name of protec-
ton, in order to fill the pockets OF
the rich manufacturer, while the
mechanic and laborer were con-
stantly having their wages reduced
by these same fellows.
AS Republican working man
said after the meeting was over, 81
wish he had told me how was pro.
tectcd and benefited by this high
tariff? 1 have been working for
twenty-five years under protection,
and my wages have been scaled
down and down. until it is now SO
low that ! can bufefy sapport my

The following from tho Martins
burg Statcsmaa is 50 null of good adj.
vice to Democrats, and meets our
views so forcibly upon the subject
treated of that we adopted it. 1t
says: democrats should keep the
fact steadily in view that the Re.
publicans are particularly anxious
TO capture the next Legislature,
with n view of eIecting a Senator to
succeed Mr. Kenna. They will
scheme to gain member, in all
close counties by Offering all sorts
of trades. The only safe plan for
Democrats to pursue, therefore, is
to turn a deaf ear to all such prop
ositions, and vote the straight
Democratic ticket. Democrats do
not need to trade to elect their can
didates, but only be true to their.
party. The election of Democratic
members to the Legislature is, at
this time, a matter of national i'm
portance, as it will have an import
ant bearing in gaining control of
the United States Senate, and secur-
ing the passage of those measures of
relief to the people, which Repub-
Iean Senate the bulwark ofmonop-
oiists and capitalists, has so per-
sistently resisted. 1t is-in vain to
expect any economic reforms, bene-
fetal to the masses, until the Demo-
cratic party has entire control of
the Executive, and both branches
of Congress, and those who wish for
them should not allow any personal
or other considerations to induce
them to vote for Republican nomi-
noes for the Legislature"
