THE OHIO ELECTION.
A Prototype of the Coming National
Campaign.


Campaign.
In the light shed by Ohio upon nation
al go itics it is evident that the farm
ers of America are the stanch upholders
of and firm believers in the American
doctrine. Many things have shown
this, but this Ohio election made it en-
tirely plain on scale large enough to
attract universal attention. The
sophisms of the importer interest are
mainly directed toward the agricultural
public. The producers are continually
told that tariff builds up factories at
the expense of the farmers, makes
millionaires in the cities and tenants
in the country.
A year ago the air was full of the cry:
"McKinleyism has been rebuked by
the people," and a great many repub-
licans joined in swelling the pean of
democratic victory. A little later those
republican assistant democrats set to
work industriously to make it appear
that genuine republicanism could not
stand alone, but must be bolstered up
by reciprocity. 1t was like claiming
that the dog could not run without the
help of his tail. Maj. Mckinley made
no disparaging reference to reciprocity,
but, on the other hand, he made no use
of it in any form or to any extent.
The only other issue which he dis
cussed was the silver question. He
honored and dignified that subject by
admitting it to partnership with the
tariff. The junior partner may come in
for an equal share in the profits. 1t is
undoubtedly true that Ohio has re-
moved all danger, if any existed, that
the national republican convention Of
1892 will either subordinate tariff to
any collateral issue or depart from a
sound money policy. Maj. Mckinley
was chairman of the committee on reso-
lutions in 1888, also in 1884, and very
likely he will serve third term in that
capacity. Should he do so the enthusi-
asm which would greet his reading of
the platform would be a memorable
political episode and inspire enthusi-
asm the country over However that
all may be, it may be set down as an
assured fact that the campaign in Ohio
in 1891 was in its fundamental charac-
ter the prototype of the national CAM
paign of next year. Chicago Inter

IOWA REPUBLICANS.
Ready to Demonstrate Their Supremacy
In 1892.


In 1892.
The republicans of Iowa are accept
ing temporary defeat with all the cour-
ageous chivalry of veterans who real
lze that they have been beaten but not
dismayed by the loss of ground that
can be easily regained, and with all
the challenging spirit of conscious
strength that comes from the positive
knowledge that the principles and
power of republicanism are invinci-
BILE. Everyone will remember with
regret the fault-fnding and petty bick-
ering that was permitted to vex and
divide the party press and councils af-
ter the partial defeat of two years ago.
We have seen nothing cf that vexa-
tious spirit of unseemly criticism since
this years election. On the contrary
there is general effort to demonstrate
that all who stood by the party's
principles did everything within their
power to win the victory, and to rally
all the republicans of the state to
the national platform to gain a glo-
rious victory in Iowa at next years
election. There is general re-
gret over being compelled to wait
nearly whole year before re-
united republicanism can demon
strate its unquestioned power and
supremacy in Iowa, and there is a COM
ing together for restoration of harmony
and strength that is not going to per-
NIT any party discipline or dividing
local issues to weaken the republican
columns in next years campaign. The
recklessness of the unlimited criticism
two years ago contributed largely to
the defeat of this year and it is grandly
cheering to know that it is not going to
be INDUCED in again as more disas-
trous result of the late defeat than the
defeat itself. The old time republican
unity, courage and determination are
all that are necessary to carry Iowa on
a platform that declares for the protec-
tion of laborers, producers and all
other business interests; for reciproc-
ity that will exchange non-competing
surplus products with all other coun-
tries and without foliage; for honest
money that will give every purchaser
dollars worth of goods for any dollar
that bears the stamp of the govern
ment; and for a fair ballot that can
only be gained by an honest count of
every vote cast. On that platform the
republicans OF Iowa will rise from de-
feat to win an old-time victory next
year.-Iowa State Register.

NUMBER 50.

try have reason to rejoice at the vic
tory of Maj. Mckinley. His brave and
splendid vindication of the national
policy of the party will command the
gratitude of true republicans every
where, as it has won the approval OF
the people of Ohio. But in other states
as well as in Ohio the republicans had
to contend against tremendous odds.
The prestige of an unprecedented sue
cess last year helped the democrats,
and also the control of the state gov
ernments in nearly all the contested
states. Stronger always on national
than on local issues, the republican
party was nevertheless confronted in
this state by opponents who lodged
national questions completely. One
result is that their local success in New
York and Massachusetts has no mean
ing as respects the struggle that is
coming, while the victory OF Maj. Nc
Kinley means much.
In the general result, therefore, the
republicans have no reason to be dis
heartened. They rejoice in some splen-
did victories already achieved, and
point to these as proof that another
year of similar progress and achieve
ment will give them a national tri-
umph. They will not fail to see where
they have gained most and why. In
the contest that is coming it will not be
possible to divert the attention of the
people from the national issues on
which this year has proved that victo-
ries may be won.-N. Y. Tribune.

WILLING TO FIGHT.
Roth sides in the Brazilian Squabble
Would Fight, But Nature Interposes
Some Serious Obstacles.


LONDON. Nov. 23.-A dispatch from
Montevideo says that affairs are at
standstill between Fonseca and the
iunta of Rio Grande do Sui. This is
not because either party is afraid to
foht. but because they cannot get at
each other. The junta's naval force
hardly deserves the name of fleet, and
is chiefly composed of small steamers
that were used by the government for
custom-house purposes. There is also
a punboat or two, but nothing that
could cope in OPP waters with the
powerful squadron the command OF
Da Fonseca.
On the other hand, the condition OF
the interior, which is impossible Tor
artillery-the roads in the woods being
mere pathways-and the sand bars that
nrotect Rio Grande do Sui and the
month of the great salt water inlet
that gives access to Porto D'Alegre,
make it extremely difficult for Da Fon-
SEGA to bring either formidable naval
or military force to bear against the
proyince which refuses to recognize his
supremacy. The two parties, there
fore. are for the present IN
condition of reserved hostility
Fonseca may at any moment succeed
in overcoming the barriers that stand
in the way of invasion, and the junta
NAV grow bold enough to strike an Of
fensive blow; but for the present the
contest is apparently confined to an m
serebange of messages.

THE story of a wonderful phenom-
enon comes from Rossville, Kas. Fol
nineteen days, it is said, rain fell inces-

Klein, a prominent resident. This
orchard is in the town and is bounded
on the east by Mr.. Klein's residence,
on the other three sides by fences.
The rain did not fan outside of Mr..
Kein's premises, but for nineteen days
there was no mtermission in the fall
and it was only stopped by the recent
cold snap.
