POLITICAL NOTES,

SPEAKER REED is in the saddle again.
and he can do a good deal of riding be-
tween now and the 4th OF March.
WHEN Senator Vest makes a state
ment he always puts his foot in it; and
when he adds an explanation he puts
both feet init.
THE only thing that NJ. Blaine needs
to do to secure the presidential 'nomina-
tion in 1892 is 10 go on saving wood as
secretary of state.
THE apportionment bill should be
passed this winter. This is recon-
mendation of the president which all re-
publicans will favor.
II is significant fact that for the
first time in twenty years the republican
press is practically unit in favor of one
man for the presidency-an his name is
James G.. Blaine.
THERE was an increase Of nearly 20
600, 900 gallons in the production Of
whisky during the past fiscal year, and
the election returns show that il had a
decided influence ir politics.
HENRY CLAY, nearly half a century
ago, defeated himself for the presidency
by letter written by him in confidence,
cipient. Let Mr.. Cleveland beware.
If Mr.. Cleveland wants TO execute a
flop on the silver question he should go
about it in decent and manly way, and
not by assaling the memory OF Daniel
Manning, the best friend he ever had.
CLEvELAND's candidacy would make
republican success so easy to attain that
the party might be ovcrcontident.
Against this feeling, however, the party
stump orators and press could ade-
quately guard.
THE postal revenue for the past fiscal
year was 5000, 900 greater than that Of
any preceding year Is not this Sufli-
cient reason for redeeming the repub-
lican party's pledge in favor of l-ccnt
letter postage?
The two-thirds vote which the demo-
Gratis will have in the next house of rep
resentativeS offers unlimited possibilities
for wildcat fnanciering. The repub-
lcan senate, fortunately, will save the
country from the vagarics OF the none
tary cranks.
IT is evident that the democrats will
fight any apportionment measure which
the republicans will bring before the
present congress. Nevertheless, the re-
publicans should make n serious attempt
TO secure apportionment in the coming
session. and they undoubtedly will.
THE republican majority in congress
will do well to dispense with the usual
holiday recess at the cOming session.
There is much important work TO be
done. and no time should be wasted
when it can be proftably employed in
pulling the party together for future
victory.
TWENTY or thirty words on the free
silver coinage question from Mr.. Cleve-
land just now would be mighty interest
ing reading for both republicans and
democrats, but these words don't come
And yet the eX-prcsident has been very
fluent with both tongue and pen recently
