in 1886. Indeed Mr.. Gaenther ques-
tons Mr. McFetridge's party fea'ty
because he did no more in that cam.
paign than to direct Mr.. Guenther
to proper persons in Dodge county
for help and advice, aud to quietly
vote for him.
Throughout the state republicans
generally viewed with interest the
singular contest in the second dis
trict between A. K. Delaney, the
regular democratic nominee aud Mr..
Guenther, independent repubica n,
and the success of the latter WAS
hailed as a popular rebuke TO the
trading democratic politicians of
that politically dark region. Mr..
Guenther, however, was not a repub-
GcaH nominee. He ran under call
by numerous citizens of the district
irrespective Of party affiliations, and
became an independent candidate.
On no other basis could he have
been elected.
With these facts in view, it is
stretching the lines severely to say
that republican voter Of the dis
trict was disloyal even bad be voted
against Mr.. Guenther; and to strain
still more, and say that a republican
who voted for Mr.. Guenther, but
was not sufficiently active in per-
suading others to do SO, is disloyal
to his party, makes the tension un-
bearable.
Mr. McFetridge may not be nom
mated for Governor, but he should
not be defeated unless for some
better reason than Mr.. Guenther
offers.

WAsHrEGToN, Feb 6, 1888.
democratic lrnpudeuce can go
no farther" said "a one-armed veteran,
"than it was carried by Senator
Kenna in his alleged reply to SEN
ator Sherman's recent speech on The
Presidents message. Think Of his
daring to upbraid Sherman for hay
ing voted, in July, 1864, for the
passage of the law allowing immigra-
tlou under contract. Does not the
young Senator know why such a
law became necessary? 1t was to
offer special inducements to immi-
grants to come to the United States
to take the place in our work shops
aud manufactures of the brave men
who had gone TO the front TO sub
due the rebellion against this Gov
eminent that was originated and
helped along by some of the very
Democratic Senators who smiled
their approval of the West Virginia
Senator's independent remarks on
the floor of the Senate"
The point made by the old soldier
is "A good one. Senator Keuna's re-
marks were certainly impuieut; but
he could not possibly have been
more severely punished than he was
by the easy manner in which Sena-
tor Sherman demolished his whole
argument by few short sentences.
If the democrats in Congress will
only keep up the do-uolhing policy
that they have shown thus far,
during the remainder OF the session,
the Republicans will have walk
over in the coming Presidential
election aud will elect two-lhlrds of
the next House.
\ new sci of rules have just been
adopted, with the sanction of Cleye
land, 10y that monumental humbug,
th, Cvil Service Commission. The
following viii do as "A specimen of
the cant and hypocrisy of this sham
reform administration; il is the
closing paragraph of the section
providing for compulsory eNamiu-
alton for Promotion In the executive
departments; "but persons in the
classified service who were honor
ably discharged from the military
or naval service Of the United States,
aud the widows and orphans Of de-
ceased soldiers aud sailors, shall be
exempt from such examinations"
That sounds good, dou'tIt? Looks
ike toe Union veteran was at last
70 be recognized by the democratic
administration? Not at all. Il is
ouIJ another case of make believe.
TINS is put ont as a lotion to soothe
the wounds Inflicted ON the ex,
soldiers and sailors 10y yetoiug the
pensions which they had earned in
defense of their country. Nobody
hnows better than Cleveland and
his Civil Service Commissioners
that tbIs rule vail never help q single
eX.soldIer or soldiers widow to pro
motion as long as the chiefs Of
Lureaux and divisions are allowed
to certify which Of the clerks snail
be promoted, as they are now. The
examinations are regarded among
the clerks themselves rs q farce, fer
no matter .oW hI d Yuuf

is, you may be sure you will never
be certified for promotion unless
you are solid" with your chief. Oh
no, Mr.. Cleveland, you will have TO
get some better bait than this. be-
fore you will succeed in catching
any of the soldier votes. The boys
have not, and are not likely To for
get the "ghoulish glee" exhibited by
you In yonr messages vetoing pen
slon1 for crippled soldiers.
The prosp,c cts of the Republicans
for electing the President aad a
majority of the next House of Rep,
resentatives, grow brighter every
day. The Republicans all over the
country are united aud determined
to go into this fight to win. The
Democr ats have fully dem pnstrated
their lncapacity To govern this coun-
try successfully, and it is truly
amusing to hear their leaders argu-
ing that because the country has
not wholly gone to the dogs since
Cleveland came in, they should be
entrusted with another term Of four
years; they do not pretend to point
out anything good that they have
accomplished, but wish to claim
credit and ask a continuance of pub
lie confidence because no very great
evils have come upon US. If that is
not gall then what should it be
called? But of course no one is
surprised at anything a Democrat
may do.
The great Democratic fight in the
dark is still on. The contestants are
supposed to be Cleveland on one
side and Hill and Randall on the
other. 1t is a draw up to the pres
ent time.

longing to the Western Union Tele-
graph Company, running TO their
,ffice in New York. Yet when
Speaker Carlisle's attention was
called to it, he expressed great
astonishment and doubted the ex.
istence of those offices, but promised
to investigate the matter. OF course
he will fail to tind those offices IN
operation after giving them notice
that he proposed investigating.
People who wish to rem tin ignor-
ant seldom find out anything, and
Democratic officials always show a
desire to protect the interests of
corporations.
The House has passed bill which
they say is intended to mitigate the
rigor of internal revenue prosecu-
tons, but the real object of the
measure is the relief of moonshiners
aud other violators of the United
States Internal Revenue laws, who
are so numerous in the South. The
Republican Senate will never pass
this bill.
The Blair Educational bill will
be voted on next Wednesday at
three O'Clock by the Senate. 1t will
probably pass that body but it is not
likely To have much of a chance in
the House.

"Little Phil is my man, first, last
and all the time" said a New York
Republican at the Capitol to-day to
"a group of Members and Senators.
The remark brought on quite a del
uge of political talk, each of the
more prominent Republican candi-
dates having friends in the party.
Nearly all of them had a first choice,
three for Blaine, one for Sherman,
two for Allison, and one for HAw-
ley, but al agreed that "Little PM"
Sheridan would make a candid tte
that would be bound TO win. A ma
jprity of them however, did not
believe that the gallant little Gener
al could be induced to resign his
present position to accept the nom
lnatlon "lf he would express him.
self AZ being willing to do so, he
would have a boom that would
sweep the country like a cyclone"
remarked one Of the gentlemen as
the group separated.
Senator Plumb's mail investigat-
ing resolution has proved a political
ten strike. The victims are falling
in every direction every day bring.
ing down new ones. Among the
latest is the well authenticated com
paint that at a large number Of
post offices it is impossible, about
half of the time, to obtain money
orders, owing to the great scarcity
of blanks 1t is acknowledged at
the Department here that there has
been some delay among some Of the
present contractors for printing
these blanks, in delivering the same,
and that some Inconvenience had
been caused thereby. The fact is
that it is simply another case (Hill
they ever end?) of Democratic in
efficiency and stupidity.
Early in the present Administra-
ton a number of cheap printing
offices in various sections of the
country offered TO do this work
little cheaper than it was being done.
The Postotiice Department divided
the work among them at once, aud
the result has been and Will be-
trouble and Inconvenience to thou

the Democrats cafe nothing for that
SO long as they can add few more
dollars 70 the surplus.
Even Democrats conscience can
be reached sometimes; witness the

Pointers for Advertisers,

Don't expect an advertisement to
bear fruit i'll one night.
Bread is the staff of human life,
an advertisement is the staff of bust
ness.
You can't eat enough in a week to
last year, and you can't advertise on
that plan either.
A thing worth doing is worth doing
well. and a thing worth advertising is
worth advertising well.
The enterprising advertiser proves
that he understands how to buy, be-
cause in advertising he knows how to
sell.
If you can arouse curiosity by an
advertisement, it is a great point gain
ed. The fair sex don't hold all the
curiosity in the world.
People who advertise only once in
three months forget the people can
not remember anything longer than
seven days.
4 constant dropping will wear a
rock. Keep dropping your advertise
ments OH the public, and they will soon
melt under it like rock-salt.
Quitting advertising in dull times il
like tearing out dam because the
water is low. Either plan will prevent
good times from coming.
A mans sign offers mute invita-
| ton to those only who pass his place
of business; his circular can only reacl
those to whom his personal attention
is given; but his announcement in
newspaper goes into the highway an
by-ways, finding customers and com
pelling them to consider his argument:
