dignart gaze OF the labor element OF America
Detroit Free Press
In the sTippecanoe and Tyler too campaign
the Harrison bar'i had hard cider in it. The

this time it holds boodle.-S. Louis Republic.
Ben Harrison will not be elected, but 1t is
quite possible that he may 60 down to history

The Republican organs in this State have
declared that Michigan is doubtful State
without Alger at the head of the ticket. The

vote for Cleveland this year. And they are
right.-Kdnsds CITY Star (fad).
The Republican attempt to Offset the Thur

up great fortunes for the favored few.-KR-

II the ticket of Harrison and Morton con-
sistently represents q huge combination of
professional spoilsmen and spoilatory class
interests. the ticket of Cleveland and Thur
man distinctively, loftily and prophetically
stands for the righteous demand of the popu-
lar conscience and the honest intelligence OF
the country for the overthrow OF the whole sys-
TEN Of predatory politics--an overthrow which
must come unless the republic itself Is to be
overthrown -GatUest0n Ne,rs.
Thanks to the courage and good sense of
President Cleveland, the coming campaign is
to be fought chiefly upon question Of political
economy, and not upon the personal defama-
ton Of candidates, as some campaigns In the
past have been. The contest will be in q large
measure one of principles and not OF men.
For this tho American people are to be con-
gratulated, and because OF this the more
heartily, zealously and intelligently every cit
,zen enters into the contest the better for him
and the country.-Phlddelphid Times.
