Well if you are a good DEM

,ne majority OF the Alliance says a bay
morse Is white, l will say so too. That's

=, Lon. George Johnstonc next spoke. He
thought he forcsaw ten years ago the fl
nalclai difficulties that confront us TODAY.
Inc 1nances OF the government had been
mlsinanagcd since the day Of Lees surrcnd-
cr. The best remedy for the evil is to in.
crease the volume Of the currency to meet
tho demands of the people. He agreed
with those who thought that the banking
system was not suited to the condition OF
the people today. The banking system
was monopoly. There must be an in
creased volume of currency which must be
adequate to the necessities Of tie people.
There ought to be at every given time the
largest amount Of currency atloat that can
be Kept afioat. Some method should be
devised so as TO be kept from the monopo
| liStlc grasp. Some method should be devils.
cd by which lower rate of interest should
be charged. He thought that there should
be an elasticity i'll the currency. Dark as
our condition is today let no man despair
because the problems will be solved to the
satisfaction of the people.

Massachusetts and Ohio.

The present political campaigning in
interest. Perhaps never before have
the results of elections been so tacitly
understood to foreshadow, in a meas
ure, the result of a presidential con-
test. A republican victory in Ohio,
after the democratic tidal wave of
year ago, will almost certainly indicate
Western republican as the standard
bearer in 1892 and fortify the party in
its position on the tariff, and the neces-
sity for the democrats again coming
East to cut their presidential timber.
On the other hand, the defeat of Nc
Kinley pretty certainly means Camp
bell for the democracy in 1892, while
the republicans will be warned that
perhaps a less radical position on the
tariff question would better meet the
sentiment of the West.
In Massachusetts the bearing of the
election on the question of presidential
candidates is less direct than in Ohio;
though democratic success in that state
again this year might "put bee in
Russell's bonnet" for at least the
second place on the national ticket.
Massachusetts is normally republi
can state, Notwithstanding the claim
of some Jealous democrats, after the
election year ago, that the Australian
ballot system placed her permanently
in the democratic column. The great
manufacturing interests of Massa-
chusetts can as i'll afford dose of
the democratic free-trade policy as can
the agricultural and commercial inter-
ests of Ohio afford the triumph of the
debased dollar of the silver coinage
fanatics who are storming that state.
In Massachusetts, this year, the re-
publicans have surmounted one great
obstacle to their success last year, in
the nomination of young and popular
candidate. Ex-Governor Bracket is
by no means an old man, but he had in
some way alienated the younger ele-
ment of his party, and his defeat was
largely due to this detection. The con-
test is largely one of candidates and
local issues, but the overshadowing
importance of the present republican
policy to the material welfare of the
commonwealth is by no means over.
looked, and it is, in view of the fact
that the republicans are united and
active for the success of the ticket, moi

The Issue in New York.

1t is difficult to see how the republic
cans of New York can fail to elect their
candidate for governor. The issue is
good government against Tammany
Hall. Mr.. Fassett stands for the for
mer, Mr.. Flower for the latter. Against
the democracy is arrayed not only
united republican party but the county
democracy and Acknowledgements
Jones and his friends. When to these
elements of opposition is added also the
Independent voters, the great multitude
of whom, led by George William Curtis,
will unite with the republicans in oppo-
sition to Tammany, republican VIC
tory-the triumph of 90 ID government
seems well assured. Speaking of the
political situation, Hdrper'S Weekly
says: 1.-THE opposition to the Tam
many ticket will be much stronger than
the united republican vote, for ii will
include a very large and inauenti II
democratic vote and a great multitude
of Independent voters who will gladly
unite in opposition to Tammany Hall.
We speak of the united republican vote,
because opposition to the leadership of
Mr.. Plat will not prevent the closest
union of republicans against the SUI
premacy of Tammany. 1t is long since
the republican party was less distracted
by factional feuds. Mr.. White, who
represents its general intelligence and
character rather than any personal fac
ton, and the representative friends of
Mr.. Warner Miller are all cooperating
sincerely with the especial friends of
Mr.. Plat, while Mr.. Fassett has
opened the campaign amid an enthusi-
asm which usually marks the close of
presidential canvass" On the re-
publican side isms have disappeare d
and the skies are bright with the light
of coming victory.

pline of the army, and then he began
to hint at another war with Germany.
From this time he posed as the hero of
the populace of Paris and the leader
of all the disconnected elements. The
government regarded him as nui-
sance, and charges of conspiracy and
treason were in 1889 preferred against
him and several of his supporters, two
of whom, besides himself, were con-
victed and sentenced. He himself, for
some reason, would not face the trial I,
he fled to England, and there and in
Belgium he passed the remainder of
his life, losing gradually his hold on
public confidence. 1t is quite certain
that he Incorporated public funds,
and the only creditabe thing in his life
was his record as soldier. AS po-
litical figure he was a wretched failure.
In private life he was all that is base.
Having spent his wife's property, he
deserted her, and among the women
whom he allowed to supplant her was a
we'll known actress. The dead soldier
left behind him note in which lie
said he had always done his duty.
Evidently his conception of duty was
somewhat different from the prevail
ing notion.
