Senator Carlisle who has remained
here since the adjournment to assist
his son, who compiled the "Democrat-
ie Campaign text book" iB putting
the last touches to that valuable book,
the issuing Of which was delayed so as
to include the conclusion of the long
tariff fight, will 60 TO Kentucky this
week, and it is probable that he may
make speeches in other states during
the campaign. The Text book Is now
out, and the Democratic Congressional
committee is prepared 10 fill orders for
them.
\ i have been making q quiet investi-
CATION to learn what the Congressional
committee is doing towards capturing
the next House, and i find that Mr..
Flower, the chairman Is in New York
looking after his own affairs, political
and otherwise, (mostly the latter and
that the committee Is making no pre-
tense of doing anything, except to fur
nish all the documents asked for. It
furnishes neither speakers, nor money
to pay the thousand and one little
those districts where IL is impossible to
raise 1t locally. II this policy is to be
kept up nothing short Of miraculous
popular tidal wave can give the demo-
Gratis control of the next House. Doc
uments are all very good in their place,
but with the election not a month off
1t Is good takers that are needed to
meet the arguments of the men sent in
swarms by the republican committee
into every doubtful congressional dis
trict to blind the voters to the injury
inflicted upon them through republic
can legislation. The democratic party
was never so well equipped with good
texts to preach from as at the present
time, and the opportunity should not
be lost through lack of preachers. If
the national committee will not furnish
them let the local committees see to 1t
that the issue is not lost by not having
the issue properly talked up to the vot-
ers. .-,5 .+-ss ..ft. ..,..,G. a..r-
OF course in criticising the Congress-
ional committee it should be remem-
bered that they have no protected man
ufacturers to draw upon for unlimited
cash as the republican committee has,
and no sensible person expects
that the democrats could spendas much
money as the republicans, and it would
not be desirable if they could--it is
against the principles of the democrat
ic party to carry elections by bribery.
Representative Wheeler, of Alabama,

the Force bill will be the election of a

House from the Southern States.
The second military society to be
composed of veterans of both armies of

stitution "the purposes of the order are

bivouac-of heroic deeds and strenthen
the bonds of reunion, sympathy valor
and patriotism between those who were
enemies in war and are friends in peace
and their descendants" .ja"o
Raum still holds the fort, but it is be-
lieved that Mr.. Harrison will force him
to resign as soon as the election is over.
If he does not he will assume heavy
responsibility.

The legalized robbery of the people

to-day, and history will put it among
the gloomy days of the nation.
Mr.. Harrison places great reliance
upon his soldier supporters, and9upon

more old soldiers. He will return here

there is still possibility that it may be
done. s B1 @5a
