end, that of putting Republican into
the seat to which a Democrat was elected
1t is humiliating to witness such unfair
ness, greed and dishonesty. but it
is encouraging to the Democrats to know
that they have the people with them, for
even the great majority Of respectable
Republicans disapprove Of the conduct
of the extremists, though they are not
honest and Independent enough to con-
demn them openly, But Mr.. J. Clark
son of the Post Office Department, COM
msnts on another phase Of the political
situation which is encouraging to the
Democrats, in his speech at Pittsburg.
He said:
The campaign Of 1892 will be largely a
newspaper campaign, and 1t has already
berun. Let ns be frank and say that the
| Democrats saw this before the Repubii-
cans. for any close observer must have
seen with interest, and almost astonish-
ment, the marvellous manner in which
| the Democratic party has been strength
eninp its lines in the newspaper way in
the past few years. It did net use to care
much for the newspaper or the magazine
II
did not use to care as much as the Re
publican party for the newspaper and Il 9
magazine. In later days it.has been beat
/ ing us in our own game. In the large
cities of the East they have captured
nearly all the magazines and illustrated
papers.
Mr.. Clarkson might have added that al
the schools, colleges and universities
teach the political economy which har-
monies with Democratic doctrines
The educators of the coming
generations, as well as q majority of tn
educated young men now entering politi
cal life, are either openly joining tn
Democratic party or assuming an inde
pendent attitude. The professors o
political economy in the four great seat
Of learning are so-called "free-traders
