the surplus revenue might have been
applied for great national objects, but
for the vetoes of the PreSident,-and
the failure of the Democratic House of
Representatives to make appropria
tons for some of the highest national
objects demanded by the people"
And what in Senator Sherman S opin-
ion are these National objects de-
manded by the people ?" The River
and Harbor Bill, The Dependent Pen
sion Bill, both killed by the PreSi-
dent S veto-the Republican Senate s
proposals for spending millions upon
worthless ships supposed to constitute
our Navy, upon which we have spent
since the close of the war 447 millions
of dollars, without having single
ship whose safety would not be en-
dangered by a collision with a coal
scow-other millions in subsidies to
steam ship lines to build up a foreign
trade which Republicans are attempt
ing to discourage with measures far
more effective and stringent than
those for the exclusion of plague or
pestilence and still more millions
for the encouragement and support
of or. hn OBJ Is
ate children scheme known as the
Blair Educational Bill, and one of the
many centraliZing schemes against
which Senator Hawley declared it
should be the future mission of the
Republican party, if it be true to the
Constitution and to its own history, to
securely preserve the rights of the
states" and to oppose the tendency
toward the consolidation of the entire
powers of the government which - is
one of the strongest today, and one of
the most dangerous to the republican
experiment, as our fathers understood
it," How far the Republican party of
to-day has departed from 1.-The consti-
tuition and its own history" and from
the doctrines and days of Abraham
Lincoln can best be seen by remem-
bering that Lincoln described it as the
party of " the plain people and that
it once glOried in the leadership of
" HONEST old Abe In the noise and
turmoil Of the coming campaign we
should keep clear before us the real
issues of the contest. They are not
Protection VS.. British free trade
but Extravaganza and Ccntralizing
Schemes VS.. Economy and the pres
ervation of the principles of this gov
eminent Gas our fathers understood
them" DAVID B. JONES.

Let the Light Shine.
The Buffalo Courier.

Patrick Ford's Irish World came
out a few days ago with the following
paragraph:
Amongst the ludicrous rumors of the cam
paign is one to the effect that the British Amer
lean association of Boston, is so incensed over
the fact that its hated enemy, John Boyle
oReilly, is supporting in mild way, the
British ticket and doctrine of Cleveland and free
trade that it has resolved to come out for Har-
isou aud protection"
To this Mr.. O'Reilly replied:
Come come. now. MIR. Ford, it is more than
Il ludCrous rumOr.' 1t is a fact Here is the
resolution passed by the Britishers:
Resolved, That we do heartily indorse the
Republican platform and support their candi
dates 10y our votes and interests, and do all in
our power during the coming campaign to in
sure their return at the coming election. Fol-
that purpose we have appointed from our mem
beers ward committees in each ward in the city
to carry on the work appcrtaining thereto"

able story, the truth of which is
vouched for by the residents of the
town: Il am % years old, have been

lameness for many years; could not

in attacking David B. Jones for en-
tertaiuing sensible views on the tariff
question For two weeks in success

iturials, all the tariff tracts ut its com

made the following truthful admis-
sion: II would be prrsumptious in

theories"
This acknowledgement of poor
east and lack of ability, was followed
however, by Il demand for categorical
answers to long list of questions
THESE questions were the regular stock

Jones proceeded Ia crack them witt

The Chicago Times recently pub
lishrd the following significant inter
view with Albert Watkins at Lincoln
Nebraska:
Tariff reform has taken hold of
Nebraska republicans rs it never did
before, and very many will vote ON
ticket For example. y. :. HARDWOOD
president of the Lincoln National bank
and -four years ago delegate-at- large to
the republican convention is strongly
for cleveland and tariff reform. !
H. Harley. one of our ableSt merchants
heretofore Il very influential republican
is for the democratic ticket on account
of tariff reform. This is the head
quarters of the Irish National league
and hcad-center of Irish political sen
ttment. prSerters to Blaine are gen
orally back in the democratic fold
and Patrick Egan, though an aStutt
and restless politician, will have few
followers John Fitzgerald, president
Of the National league, is an euthu-
SiaStic Cleveland man and democratic
tariff reformer."
The attempt of Patrick Ford and
other republican politicians to make il
appear that Irish sentiment in America
is opposed to the democratic party
because il favorS reduction OF
tari0 taxation is simply ridiculous

The Republican state Central Com
mittcr have located their headquarters
IN Milwaukee on East Water Street,
next the river. In front are displayed
prominently in red ink, the words
Republican Headquarters and on
the rear of the building in colors
of many shades darker, the phrase
i" Wholesale Dealers in Fine WHISTLES. -
Whether this has any political signiti-
cancc as referring to the tariff plank
we are in the dark; but are inclined to
think that their near proximity to the
river does not signify any intention
on their part TO use it OF any other
water to any alarming extent, during
the heated contest. The damp" res
taurant next door will certainly obviatc
