Editorial Paragraphs.

In publicly acknowledging that the posi-
ton occupied by the Democrats in Con-
gress on the tariff question was entirely
wrong Senator-elect Brice of Ohio, pays a
high, though unintentional compliment to
the craftsmanship of the Republicans in
Congress. Mr.. Brice, who is chairman of
the Democratic National committee, also,
probably intended this statement as for
NAL notice to one Grover Cleveland that,
on account of his free trade ideas, he had
been deposed from the leadership of the
Democratic party. Still another object of
the willy Mr.. Brice is to stop the present
stampede from the ranks of his party of
the intelligent workingmen who are al
ready beginning to realize the great bene-
tit to them of the new tariff law. 1t is
too late, Mr. Brice, there is only one pro-
gressve political party in this country,
and everybody knows that 1t isn't the
moss backed Democracy. The Republic
can party is typical of our glorious coun-
try and :ts motto is ever onward and up
ward; under its judcious legislation we
have enjoyed our periods of greatest pros
perity and to it the people confidently
look for legislation necessary to maintain
and increase the grandeur of the nation
and the welfare of the individual; and
they will not look In vain. The Republi-
can party i the party OF political deeds,
and wastes no time on fanciful and theo-
retical schemes-it leaves such nonsense to
the Democratic party, which has for 10
these many years spent the greater portion
Of it time in chasing political rainbows.
-"All Europe" shouts the frenzed
Democratic stump speaker. lis arrayed
against the Mckinley tariff law" True,
and In order to complete the picture he
should have stated that all America is for
the new law, those who oppose it being
few, and rapidly growing fewer a. its
manifold benefits become more apparent
What makes Speaker Reed SO popular
with the rank and file of the party: 1t is
10 secret; il is because he is a fighter and
always strikes straight out from the Shout
der for what he believes in. and when he
strikes something always falls. He Is a
man Of the Lincoln-Grant stripe. and
such men ALWAYS command the admiration
of manly men.
1t is gratifying to know that the Pres
Ident and all of the members of his cabi-
net have shown deep interest in this cam
paign and q desire TO aid in every legiti-
mate way the party which elevated them
to their present positions. This is as it
should be- and furnishes the voters of the
party an example that cannot fail to have
is effect on election day
