that support the Democratic party have

those that even lean RepublicanWard
have less than 100000 patrons. Further
more, he says that such sthingsas an

slant. Mr.. CLARKsON has gath
cred his data too carefully to be
charged with any overstatement of the
facts. as regards the relative circulation
of Republican and Democratic papers.
His error is as to the cause and remedy.
He has been accustomed to utilize
postal officials in the service OF his
newspaper, and the agency has value;
but is almostaentirely inapplicable in
the case OF, the dailies ofthe large cities,
to which he gives special note, nor is
there any considerable basis for his

the great share of the credit must be
awarded to Republicans, and perhaps
to no individual in larger measure
than to Mr.. HCLARKseN himself. He
mas done something by his oral and
newspaper teaching, but vastly more by
the public lessons he has given of the
meaning of Republicanism. The people
have been growing in dissatisfaction
with the administration of the Republi-
cans, and especially with the drift of
their Policies. The intelligent masses
are simply giving attention to their ma
terlal interests rather than to the de-
mands of political machine. They
have turned away from Republican
papers because of their lack of indie
pendence and Servility to party in fol
lowing ways that oppressed the many
for the benefit of theifew. Mr.. CLARK

NOTFOR ol1Eo.

There is some apprehension among
tdalrymen in New York, this and other
states, that under the original package
decision oleemargerine can go onsits in
sterstate tours =unopposed. The idea IS
that it can journey with whisky and
come into the states that prohibit its
sale and be sold in the shipping pack
age. This impression grows out of the
variety of opinions expressed in regard
to- the scope of tine judicial statement.
1t is not believed that oleomargerine
will secure any such recognition. 1t is
not a legitimate article of commerce
like alcoholics. butsan imitation, "a sconn
sterfeit. 1t matters not that it is sold
under its true name. 1tsis bogus
