The Democratic and Republican Policies
COntrGsted.

We extrat the following from q long let
ter of the able Washington correspondent
of the Bait. Sum-
WHAT CLEVELAND HAS DONE FOR THE
PARTY.
If we contrast the attitudes of the two
parties we may obtain fair idea of what
the Cleveland regime has done for the par
ty. 1t is conceded that it has given the
country thoroughly clean administration,
A gentleman who held office under the
Arthur administration said today: ut can
not be denied that all the departments have
been free from jDbbery and favoritism. ~
When 1t is considered that to accomplish
this result au administration must needs
offend multitude of selfish interests, which
are to be found in every party organic .tion,
it will be seen that Mr. Cleveland and his
colleagues have had no easy task to main.
tain that standard of official probity which
extofts such an admssion-an admission
which of itself supplies a strong reas IN for
the continuance in power Of party whose
representatives in Office have achieved such
a result. With record of administrative
capacity aud honesty to which it may point
with pride, the democracy, at the close OF

illustrative economy, of determined op
position to sectionalism and encrnachment
upon the autonomy of individual States and
of discrimination in favor of any race or
class at the expense of the people as a
whole, and the declared and recognized
champ of the toIling masses as aga INST
the steady march of corporate and mgnpp-
olistic greed. 1t has purified the army,
replacing favoritism with justice aud fair
dealing to all in the face of the most In
sidious and persistent attempts to psrpetu-
ate the scandalous methods of former re-
gimes, It has rendered "a similar service
| for the navy, once a synonym for official
corruption, extravaganza aud Intrigue, and
has made substantial progress, in the face
of enormous difficulties, in the work Of sup,
plying cur sailors with sergieeable ships
and guns Its manage nent of the fiscal af
fairs of the country has been sipgularly
able aud conservative, and, whatever it's
critics may assert, it has maintained the
dignity of the country at home and abroad.
Could party be in better or stronger
position? II it adheres to the lines laid
down and consistently followed by this ad-
ministration, is not its restoration to office

These vie VS. and conclusions. it should be
added, are given not as the writer's indi-
vldual opibion, but as those of men high in
public life, who are sufficiently above mere
personal considerations to be able to look
at the ques ions involved from the stand

view the approaching close of Mr.. Glove

MoNoPoL1sTs AFRAID OF THE SOUTH.

l. must be evident to any one who has
studied the industrial changes 10 this ooun
try in recant years that, even under the
presest tariff system, expressly designed to
build up the Northern manufacturers the
Souts. is rapidly advancing towards the
point whore she will have become forfai
dable competitor of New England. Sine
can produce more cheaply, and already
factories for the cruder forms of industry
are springipg up all over the South. There
is rapidly increasing migration of North
ern capital and labor south ward, and
Northern capitalists realize that there is
serious danger of the transportation of in
dustrial supremacy to tina Southern States
They naturally do not wish to see this take
place, aud it is the opinion of thoughtful
observers here that the revival by Mr.
Evarts and other republican leaders of the
sectional issue is prompted solely by the de-
SRA to check the industrial development OF
the South. IF they were sincere in their
pretended constituencies to election frauds
and SO called inequalities and Outrages up.
on suffrage at the South they would turo
their attention to similar wrongs and injus-
tice in New York and the New England
States, which are notorious aud not denied.
The republican party numbers among its
members many fair-minded people, who
fully recognize the fact that the war is
over. aud that it is tue rankest injustice ia
continue the policy of marrying tue South
fortunately the party has committed It's
leadership to men who seem willing to lend
themselves tn the narrow and selfish pur-
poses of the greedy mnuopolists who have
waxed fat and over bearing IN the enjoy
ment for years of the taxing powers of the
nation, which ought never to be used for
the beueft of any class, but solely for the
actual needs of the public service.

Farewell To Home.
HARRIsoN's WORDS AT THE DEPOT IN
INDIANAPOLIS.

my Good Friends and NeighborS.
Il cannot trust myself to put in
words what | feel at this time. Every
kind thought that is in your minds
and every good wish that is in your
hearts for me finds its responsive
wish and thought in my mind and
heart for each of you. l love this
city; it has been my own cherished
home. Twice before / have left it to
discharge public duties, and returned
to it with gladness, as hope to do
it again. 1t is city on whose
streets the pompous displays of
wealth are not seen; it is full of
pleasant homes, and in these homes
there is an unusual store of content
ment. The memory of your favor
and kindness will abide with me, and
my strong desire to hold your re-
spect and confidence will strengthen
me in the discharge of my new and
responsible duties.
"Let me say farewell to all my In
diana friends. For the public hon
ors that have come to me, l am thy
grateful debtor. They have made
the debt so large that l can never
discharge it. There is a great sense
of loneliness in the discharge ofhigh
public duties. The moment of de-
cision is one of isolation. But there
is one whose help comes even into
the quiet chamber of judgment, and
to His wise and unfailing guidance
viii | look for direction and safety.
My family unite with me in grateful
thanks for this cordial goodbye, and
with me wish that these years of
separation may be full of peace and
happiness for each of YOU"
The speech was received with
cheers. At its conclusion the Gen
eral re-entered his car, and the train
at once proceeded.

DEPARTING.

Hon. Grover Cleveland, President
of the United States, is making rea-
dy for his departure from office, once
again to assume his position in civil
life as an American citizen. He has
had one of the highest honors that
can be accorded in the world, that OF
President of a Nation of free people.
To be sure there are many who disa,
gree with him upon questions of pub
lie policy, but we have no doubt that
all the people wish him an honorable,
a long and useful life, as he turns
over the great public trust to his sue
cessor.

FOUL-MOUTHED.

The biggest mouthed man in Amer
lea, is General Rosser. He has a
foul running at the mouth. True, he
is an ex-Confederate general, but he
has been treated well by the country
that he opposed. True, now and
then, some garrulous orators ON the
other side, go wild and rave and rant
for gore; but as a rule, they are not
and never were soldiers. Rosser, in
his recent speech in Baltimore to the
veterans Of the army and navy Of TIE
Southern Confederacy, seemed full
of sulphurous fumes, and belched
forth the flames Of devil fresh from
the internal regions. Among other
things, he said, he did not want any
more reunions of the blue and the
grey. Possibly, he does not, and
probably, the decent men Of the blue
and the grey, so far as Rosser is con-
cerned now do not-and more prob
able he never was and never will be
invited to attend. He can stay in a
crowd by himself, and amuse his fan
cy by furious and blasphemous de-
nunciati0n of reunited country.
Rosser seems to have the tongue Of
serpent, but is evidently lacking
the brain of man and patriot.
The intelligent people of all parties
know what grand country we have.
They see its prosperity in peace and
it's fruitfulness in union. Even the
unthinking and uneducated recognize
it and are thankful for it, but Ros-
ser-ugh!-it is more than waving
the bloody shirt---it is hosting the
black flag, with skull and cross-bones
in the home that nourished him.

An IMPORTANT DAY.

Monday next, 4th inst, will be an
important day to the Nation, on &C
count of the change of Presidents.
But to West Virginia, special impor-
lance attaches on account of the gu
bernatorial complication, which, up
on that day, must be solved. Mr..
Fleming admits that Gen. Golf has a
majority, and served notice of con-
test, and that contest is pending.
The majority in the legislature failed
to comply with the constitution and
publish the returns as they appeared.
They counted only Democratic ma
jorities and referred the Republican
majorities TO a committee. Gov.
Wilson claims to hold over. Clearly
there is neither constitutional or le-
gal right for that. Senator Carr
claims the position by virtue of his
office as President of the Senate, and
Gen. Golf claims it by right of cleo
ton. This presents grave crisis to
the people of the State, and the re-
suit will be awaited with considera-
BILE anxiety.

Plaster.
Their action for the Alienation of

and far more active and powerful as
a curative, than any of the so-called

and is consequently regarded by
them with almost superstitious awe
and reverence" FOUT'S.
The result of years of untiring research,
scientific study and practical experiment
has been accomplished in the successful
combination.of the Petroline Extract, with
India Rubber and the most medicinal
gums in Porous Plaster form, and is with
out doubt the most efficacious external
Iemedy yet discovered in the history of
medicine.
The Petroline Plaster quiets the agony
of the suffering, reyivifie partially paral-
yzed limbs, and appears often to reanimate
the vital powers.
The rubefacient effect of Spanish Cantha-
rides are produced by these plasters with
out the disagreeable soreness which al
ways follows their use, and are safe and
convenient for all, old or young, of either
sex, and are always efficacious and more
reliable than lamentations or skin excoria-
tons, without the weakness and lassitude
which always follows such treatment.
Localized pains or weakness of any part
of the body are always aided, lumbago be-
ing cured in very short time.
Dropsical or watery affections of the
heart or lungs and hydro thoraX have been
cured by their use many times.
This is true also in chronic or acute dis
eases of the throat or lungs-as Group,
Quinsy, etc.
Unlike many other remedies, the Petro-
line Plaster can never do harm, as the Per-
torations with which it is so thickl- stud
ded allow all the perspiration and exhala-
lions from the skin to pass off freely, and
it contains no injurious principle whatever
