Tom Platt's Answer.

Just after the New York election
President Harrison. in bitter dlsap-
pointment at the result, declared that
a mistake had been made by the repub-
hcan leaders in fighting the battle on
local issues instead of on national is
sues, intimating his belief that if the
latter had been forced to the front the
result would have been different
Tom" Platts answer to this appeared
in later dispatches in the shape of an
extract from a letter to Candidate Fas
sett dated October 10. at which time
the campaign had been in progress for
q month, in which BENJAMIN Harrison
announces himself a. much pleased
with the energetic and aggressive man
ner in which the campaign Is being
pushed by Mr.. Fassett. and thinks
you have been wise in your selection
of the issues and very forcible in the
prosecution of them" It must be i'd
mitted that the answer answers.-St

Who will distribute the STAT" and

next year? Quay's marvellous success
in converting the pious Wanamaker's
dollars into votes for Harrison firmly
established his reputation as the great
est majority maker in the party, but
his reputation in other respects has suf-
fered such frightful damage since the
campaign of 1888 that the republicans
would never dare to put him in his old
place again. Had Mr.. Plat elected
Fassett, he could doubtedly have
had the post of manipulation in chief if
he had wanted it But Mr.. Plat did
not elect Mr.. Fassett His failure in
that enterprise not only destroyed his
pretensions as q political manager, but
very seriously impaired the reputation
of some of the most eminent election

1t cannot long survive exposure. If
the coming congress searches out the
trusts and other conspiracies which
have been formed under it, and sends
to the republican senate and president
anti-conspiracy bills for the removal of

only make more certain the repeal of

1t is perfectly natural that Mr.. Nc

A PLEA FOR SILENCE.

The Shah Of Ohio Wants to Muzzle the
People.
The esteemed organs of mutual ra-
pine are sermonizing from the text
furnished them by Mr.. Mckinley when
he made the profound observation that
''the judgment of the people does not
approve the constant agitation of the
tariff issue in the face of the fact that
it can accomplish nothing
Without stopping to consider the SER
mons, we will confine ourselves to the
text, which is sufficiently absurd to in
dictate the nature of the sermons on it.
The only reliable way of getting the
judgment of the people is through the
ballot box, and as they have expressed
themselves there it was emphatically
in favor of continuing the exposure of
the crimes and follies of the Mckinley
bill until its repeal is forced. This is
what a majority of the people voting
since the passage of the bill have said
in every instance, but even if it were
otherwise, the right of appeal to the
majority would remain, and any mi
nority. however small. could go on in
the exercise of it, confident that in the
end right will win in its appeal to the
majority, no matter how small the mi
nority, who, as attorneys for the right,
plead it's case before the bar where
under our system of government, in
justice, with law on its side, is called
to account Mr.. McKinley's thought
in challenging this right to appeal is
entirely un-American and alien. 1t is
the spirit in which the Mckinley bill
was forced through house which had
ceased to be deliberative body"
under the Reed dictatorship.
of his bill, Mr.. Mckinley urges fur
Their that discussion should be aban-
doned 'tin the face of the fact that it
can accomplish nothing
It is true that the veto of most rad
ical and bigoted partisan is in the way
of reform at present, but every time a
falsehood is exposed and wrong de-
nounced, something is accomplished.
Everyone who knows the Mckinley
bill knows that it cannot stand after it
has been exposed and its manifold
frauds and follies made plain to the
people. Even if the odds against re-
form were tenfold greater. something
can be accomplished, everything can
be accomplished. by keeping the
truth constantly before the people. No
plea for silence that the author and
bene6ciaries of the bill can make can
be entertained There can be no ces-
sation in the exposure of it until this
most fraudulent and Ubiquitous of all
measures of wrongful taxation for en-
richin2 the rich BY impoverishing the

This democratic victory of 1891
will give the democracy of New York
much aid and encouragement for the
greater contest in 1892. It has been
won by hard, earnest work and by firm
fidelity to the democratic cause-Buf-
falo Courier.
There is a perfect understanding
between Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Harrison.
MIR. Harrison understands that Mr.
Blaine would like to be president, and
Mr.. Blaine understands that Mr.. Har-
rison yearns for second term.-Louis-

After having been retired from
politics for several days Senator Quay
is called upon by Pennsylvania repub-
licans to lead their campaign in that
state. Somehow the reputation OF
Quay does not proceed with that Ger.
tainty which the public had been lee
by the utterances of too sanguine re
publican organs to expect Chicago

The state stealers' cry of s'fraudv
in New York will neither distract at
tention from their crimes against the
suffrage in other localities, nor divert
the democrats from their purpose OF
giving to this democratic state a demo
cratic legislature, if the facts show tina!
they are legally entitled to it 1t il
time to have majority rule in New
York.-N. Y. World.
Probably no more impudent re-
mark ever fell from the lips of Jay
Gould, Tom Reed, Boss Tweed or Matt
Quay than this observation by Maj
Mckinley: 81 am convinced that the
judgment of our citizens does not ap-
prove the constant agitation of the
tariff issue in the face of the fact that
it can accomplish nothing" The man
in possession of plumber is always op.
posed to agitation on the part of his
victim. In this respect Mr.. Mckinley
does not differ from housebreaker OF
the present or a slave driver of the
past. There will be constant fighting
over this tariff question until it is set
tied right and it cannot be settled right
until Maj. McKinley's monopolistie
friends have been choked off.-Chicago
