TFfRosion News.
$kent gospel truth. The Democrats
SIIfres Ills to Ohio, where they have, no
kh0<s<llyhow. They didn't dare let him
go anywhere else The 10 'ome an soak
70 head argument kills more at the
preech than the muzzle.
Thcre are a few things happening in the
Massachusetts campaign which lead us to
nope that AZ last there Will be some attempt
nnue py the great parties to amuse faeh
0tncr Whom the comic side OF our shaul
hghting once strikes the great American pub
iin tho gniety of the nation will be assured Tor
all tine.--Journal or Bulletin.
Well, IL may seem comic to the journal
or TO the Bulletin from its insecure seat
on the Democratic edge of the fence, but
we see nothing comic in the Massachusetts
campaign. Nor Is il a sham fight. IN "a
manufacturing State, the struggle for lie,
publican principles is fight Tor bread anu
butter, for life and death, and that sort OF
struggle is no joke, as the j. or B es,
sayist would understand If he ever tried
going hungry.
II there were more tongue-tied people life
would be much pleasahter than IL ls'-leIe-
gram.
oh, You think so, do your Well, the
NEWS tongue will wag good while yet
That the tariff Is the dominant issue in Ohio
Is apparent. The attempt 10 drop IL for silver
did not succeed. The Republicans there as N
All the other states, have got 10 he IN the laIll
bed they have made for thenselves.--lelegluin.
Bless YOU. the Republicans don't want
TO lie in any other kind of bed. Demo
Gratis don't lie in it, but they lie about II
sometimes. At least what else can you
call it,
The man who climbed "A tree 10 sec the troops
pass and got a pension because lac fell out ana
broke his leg has donned a Grand Army OF The
Republic badge and is shouting for tho b. D.
II. as the veterans friend -Bsooklyn Eagle
Yes, and the paper which prints this
would-be funny paragraph Is the one
which was so open in its rebel sympathles
during the war that a loyal moD-queer
expression, but true-had to hint that 1t
would be a good plan To run up the stars
and Stripes. And it was done.
Sheehan, who is the Democratic candidate
for Lieutenant Governor of the Empire state
MAKES the frank, If somewhat startling, state
ment, the only dirty work ever dld IN poll
tics was at Gov. Hill's bidding Is the man
who admits that he did dirty work and who
confesscs that he did not have the moral cour-
age to refuse 10 be made a plant tool ia the
hands Of ascheming politician III 10 hola suGh .l
aplaee as that of Lieutenant Governor OF one
Of the largest and most prosperous states IN
tho Unionf-Pawtucket Times.
He isn't; and he won't, and can't and all
the other negatives. Sheehan Is shrewd
trickster, but the secret ballot will defeat
him.
Allow me- n stranger, yet Il Republican (and
ono of many SUCH, TO assure you that the early
notice you serve to the "Roman Church.,
that you cater to their taste In matters politi-
cal by publishing your Burchard likeness Is a
great MISUNDERSTANDING from letter To the
Editor.
This is amazing AS n matter of public
interest the NEWS prints portrait ana
sketch of DIR. Burchard, man who be-
came famous by defeating James &, Blaine
for the Presidency through an indiscreet
utterance and is straightway accused OF
serving notice 10 the Roman Church., &C.
There is an explanation, however. The
letter was not written by providence
man, but by n Bostonian stopping at one
of our hotels, and Bostonans and their
neighbors never have been noted for reli-
gious federation. Rhode Island, with its
Glorious record for free thought, has no
use for know nothingism.
Massachusetts Democratic State Committee
offers 10 furnish 10000 copies OF Gov, Russell s
Reform Club speech to the Republican State
Comrnittee free of charge. Record.
= The Republican Committee has request
Jed that the documents be sent. So that's
all right.
The Democrats of Massachusetts, have chal-
lenged Congressman Lodge 10 a debate with
Hon. John L. kussell.-Record.
Yes, and he has accepted, too, much to
the disgust of the challenger. The Jour
nal pafhetically remarks this morning that
the challenging party is expected to fight
with one hand tied. Ii Is unusual for the
challenger TO select the weapons, but in
this case he did and threw them in a bunch
at the feet of the challenged, who took his
choice of them a. was his right.
