POLITICAL NOTES.

The Cincinnati Enquirer, the most
ably unedited organ of the democratic
party in the west, has taken great
fancy to Gov. Hill of late.
Gov. HLL's visit to Ohio signifies very
clearly that he does not share the Inn
preston that Grover Cleveland is going
to be the next democratic candidate for
president.
Mr.. CLEvELAND's observations with
regard to the election were chiefly nota-
BILE for what they did not tell concerning
his attitude on the question of Tammany
rule in New York.
THE best Endorsement of Speaker
Reeds Quorum-counting policy is to be
found i'm the fact that he draws larger
crowds than any other man who is talk
ing politics this year.
THE democratic conspiracy to raise the
prices of all the necessaries of life in or.
der to gain a political advantage has
never been surpassed for deliberate and
contemplate cussedness
THE democrats voted against the bill
cutting the duties on lumber and binding
Irvine and putting sugar on the free list.
This Is one of the reasons why they are
asking the farmers to vote the demo-
cratic ticket.
The cry of high prices is not as loud
as it was few weeks ago, for the sim
pie reason that the prices are as low as
they were before the new tariff was pass
ed, as anybody can see by reading the.
advertisements.

up to the editors room and say: ssMr-
Watterson, take my hat. I find ann

ACCORDING to Carl Schurz, s.that eco
nomic policy is best which works best"
He does not submit this remark as vim
dication of the protective tariff system,
but 1t can be very aptly and forcibly APP
piled in that relation.
Gov. HILLS chances for the presidency
have been materially lessened by his re-
cent stumping tour. He made a grave
mistake, that is to say, in not concealing
the fact that he is one of the poorest,
public speakers in the country.
CUBA has already begun to ask for recA
iprocity with the United States, and
other foreign countries will do the same
in the near future; and yet tho demo-
Gratis proclaim that the new tariff law is
calculated to diminish our exports.
Mr. ROOSEVELT contributed $50 to the,
republican campaign fund, thus recog-,
nizing the important fact that civil serv-.
Ice reform has not yet reached the point;
where political virtue can get along witzr-
out money to circumyent the powers of
darkness.

Instead of Oct. 6, the republicans would
undoubtedly have carried the next house
by at least forty majority.

lection established in this country the

has been reduction of the price. Such
a fact, and it is an indisputable one, re-
flutes the whole theory of the free trad
ers about the burdens of the tariff.
DEMOCRATIC juggling in the attempt
to explain the sugar duties of the Me-
Kinley tariff doesn't conceal the fact
that that act makes q cut of more than

The republican conspiracy against
silver" which the democrats are howl-
ing about, has advanced the price OF
that metal to the extent OF IL cents an
ounce at present rates, and will undoubt-
eddy push it much higher. The friends
of silver and the business interests OF
the country, which are benefited by the
narrowing of the gap between silver and
gold, can stand conspiracies OF this sort.
