CAMPAIGN CLUBS.
The Most Advantageous Agencies, Which
the Party Can EmDlov


The rapid increase of Republican
clubs in all parts of the country is a
fact of decided interest and import
ance. Ii implies organization of the
most desirable and effective kind.
Such clubs are composed mainly. as a
rule. of the young and aggressive
members OF the pary-the element
that creates enthusiasm aud gives to a
campaign its practical and conquer
Ing vigor. The first election of Lin
coin was largely due TO organizations
of this description; and the same is
true of other notable Republican vic
tories. There are certain facilities of
success in politics which can only be
reached by enlisting the active inter-
est of voters who are fond of doing
things energetieally and willing to
give close attention to details The
orators are useful in their way, aud
the newspapers render good service in
another way; but after all, the best re-
suits are brought about by the clubs
that make it point to appeal directly
to individual voters and to promote
party discipline and confidence. One
such agency in every voting precinct
is the most advantageous thing that
party can have, as experience has fully
demonstrated Nothing else can be
made 10 answer its purpose, and the
party that tries to dispense with it is
certain to suffer accordingly.
1t is particularly desirable that the
Republican party should provide 1T
self with as much aid of this kind as
possible in the great contest which is
soon to begin. There are unquestion-
ably enough Republican votes in the
country to elect the next President;
and the principal task of the cam
paign is to concentrate them and get
them all cast at the election. That is
the sort of work that the clubs do,
and it can not be thoroughly done
without them. Thousands of them
have already been organized under
the most suspicious conditions, but
the number is not yet hundredth
part of what il should be. The young
Republicans of every school district in
the Union ought to be urged and as
sisted to cooperate In the struggle
for honest and progressive govern
ment, by forming such associations.
No elaborate scheme of organization
is necessary. In fact, the more SIM
pie it is the better it will serve to ac-
complish the ends in view. The prin-
cipal thing is to bring the young
voters together in a distinct body and
inspire them with proper degree of
zeal and ambition. They will easily
find ways to give a good account of
themselves if once fairly started in
the right direction. Mr. Blaine never
declared a more significant truth than
when he said: The giants of myth
ology tYpified the strength of young
men, and the strength of the Repub-
lican party is in the young men of
this country, of whom it possesses a
vast majority" But this source of
power is useful only in such proper
ton as it may be organized for in
dustrious and persevering service;
and the methods of the club are TO be
preferred above all others in that con-
nection.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

MARYLAND METHODS.
A Democratic organ Repudiates German
and His Creatures

Governor jackson. of Maryland, in
pardoning the seven Baltimore cleo
ton clerks and judges who were con-
victed of frauds upon the ballot-box
committed two years ago, took the
ground that the men had been sufIi-
GENTLY punished. If the men were
guilty they could not have been pun
ished too much if they had been kept
at prison labor the remainder of their
lives.
OF course. under the ring rule in
Baltimore election frauds are regarded
rs simply venial offenses. Many
gentlemen endear themselves to the
bosses by their ability to commit these
peceadilloes. To Governor Jackson
and the manipulators of Baltimore
politics it must have seemed odd that
seven election clerks and judges should
be kept in prison for doing precisely
what hundreds of other gentlemen in
politics had done and were ready to do
at short notice-viz., defraud the
Voters of the city. When the BEN
eficiaries of these rascalities were
walking the streets of Baltimore or
planning Democratic campaigns in
high places it must have seemed droll
to some people to force a vicarious
sacrifice upon seven poor devils who
happened to get caught.
But what mad the political crimes of
other men to do with this question:
The seven judges and clerks who were
caught perpetrating frauds merited
che full punishment of the law. The
fact that one hundred ballot-box
suffers and registry-list forgers of
Baltimore are not now in the peniten-
tiary is disgrace to the city and the
Democratic party. These seven men
are no worse than their comrades
some of them in office-and they are
far better than the editor of the ring
organ, the SuRpdpeT, who apologies
for election thieves and upholds ring
bosses. The failure of the law TO pun
ish cettain wrong-doers is no excuse
for Mr.. Jaehne, now in Sing Sing, that
other men guilty of the same crime of
which he stands convicted can not even
be brought to trial. That is merely a
reflection upon our judicial system.
Governor jackson, of Maryland, evil
IDENTIFY bears no relationship to the inn
mortal Andrews of blessed Democratic
memory. He has demonstrated that
he is under the domination of the ring
bosses in Baltimore who make and un-
make Governors.
II is not to be wondered at that
honest Democrats in Baltimore are
outspoken in their hostility to the party
management which not only winks at
and encourages crime but protects the
perpetrators, and that such men as
Frank Morrison are found repudiating
the dictators who so shamelessly defy
decent public sentiment-M u World

Victory in Rhode Island.

The closer the Republican victory I'm
Rhode Island is looked into, the worse
it appears for the Democrats and the
better for the Republicans. A year
ago the Democrats carried the State
BY sweeping majoritics. The leading
Republican paper of the State helped
them. This year the same paper again
bolted on the MISUNDERSTANDING.
The Prohibition law has also been sup
posed to be greatly hurting the Re
publicans. The Democrats thought
they had sure thi.g. and that Rhode
Island was NJ last to become one of
the reliable Democratic States. But
in spite of III obstacles and Demo-
cratic eNertions aud expectations, the
whole Republican State ticket was
elected BY aver 5000 plurality. and
the Republicans also elected over two
thirds of the Legislature. The change
was nothing short of political revo-
luton. Il can not be accounted for
fully upon any other hypothesis than
that the issue has become partly one
of protection and free trade, and
Rhode Island is for protection always.
Upon that same issue. which viii then
be more direct. Rhode Island viii give
a still larger Republican majority next
fall. 1t is manufacturing State. and
n policy which strikes a blow at its
manufactures touches directly the
pocket Of every man in the State. anu
especially OF every working-man.-
