A Republican Victory.

The political calculator begins to
cover divers and sundry sheets Of fools
cap with columns of truthful figures,
which he marshals by squads, by COM
panies, by Notwithstanding, reform
ing, and Transforming them to prove
or disprove something or other about
the Presidential election, due next
November. 1t is a comparatively easy
job this year to figure the safe election
of the Republican candidate from sew
eral different stand points. Cleveland
was elected by 219 votes to 1S2 for Mr..
Blaine. There were four doubtful
states which gave him his election
New York SO, Indiana Is, New Jersey
9. Connecticut 6. Of these, the single
state of New York alone is sufficient
if subtracted from the Democratic
column and added to the Republican,
to completely change the result, pro-
ducing 218 Republicans to 1873 Demo-
Gratis. But even if n. Y. be conceded
to Mr.. Cleveland, the change of the
votes of Indiana and Connecticut, or of
Indiana and New Jersey to the Repub-
lican side, would elect the Republican
candidate. Indiana has been Republic
can in every presidential election since
1860 until the last, and it gave Re
publican majority at the state election
if 1886. Connecticut is manufacture
ing state, and is as much protection
state as Pennsylvania. The same is
true of New Jersey, which gave Re-
publican majority at the Legislative
election of 1887.
There is but little doubt but that all
the states of the Pacific slope which
gave Republican majorities in 1884,
will do the same in 1888. But if one
of them OF more should vote for the
Democratic presidential candidate, there
is enough in the Eastern doubtful
states to more than make up for the
loss.
All signs favor Republican victory.
If the Republican party pays a reason
able amount of attention to the fitness
of candidates and acts in harmony, Mr..
Cleveland will have all the business he
can attend to in New York alone. In
Indiana, the recent election frauds will
cost the Democrats many votes and
insure the repetition of the result of
1886. In addition, the free trade atti-
tude of the administration will make
it easy for the Republicans to carry
the protection states of Connecticut
and New Jersey.
Again we remark, the prospect for
a complete Republican victory is ex-
tremely good.

Of age. She was the daughter of one

band died three years ago. She moved
to Solomon few months ago and was
only settled in her new home among

with malaIial fever and was a great
sufferer for ten long weeks. Owing to
her long sickness and the fact that she
had the care of two young children. a
boy and a girl, the case of Mrs. Town

of our people. Her friends have this
consolation, that she is now where no
more tears are shed and where part

1t is mistake to assume, in our day.
that every Irish-American is Demo
crat. Two hundred thousand of them
stood Loyalty by the Republican party
in 1884. These men have neither re-
tracted nor repented. They are with
the Republican party still, and each
man of them will be a recruiting SER
geant in the campaign of 1883. There
is strong disposition among enlight-
ened and self-respecting Irishmen
everywhere to free themselves from the
odious and insulting assumption that
they are the chattel property of the
Democratic party. These men will
vote with the Republican party for the
American policy of protection and
against the British policy of free trade.

The county Democracy on Saturday
in the preamble to the resolutions
passed refer to the ''defensive'' princi-
pies on which Democracy stands. The
convention stated very important
truth connected with the history of the
party for the past twenty-five years.
Every position taken by their party has
been defensive one. The party is
in no sense an aggressive party. 1t has
not had for IS years single defined
aggressive issue which it has presented
to the people for their approval. Dur
ing the rapid progress made by the
American people, not one of the great
measures which havecontribted to that
prosperity has originated with the
Democracy. But they have been
stumbling along after the wheel of pro-
gress, pulling back all the time. Truly
the Democrats are on the defensive"

that personal ambition and personal

There must be a strong disposition
among the Clay county Democracy to
disband entirely and come over to the
Republican camp. The county conven-
tion which met in Clay Center on Sat-
urday thought it necessary to take
the precaution of adopting a long
series of whereases and resolu-
tions in which they positively in
struct their delegates to the Congress
sional Convention that under no cir
cumstances are they to aid or abet in
the endorsement of the Republican
nominee for Congress, Hon. John A.
Anderson. The convention evidently
had very little faith in the democracy
of its delegates. They did not instruct
their delegates to st. Louis not to sup
port Mr.. Blaine for the Presidency, but
that will probably be attended to at
Wichita when the delegates to st. Louis
are chosen.
