Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1891-04-25

ted by the men who control the
Alliance in the South, are using the
Alliance in the States that have
been heretofore republican TO pull
tie Presidential chestnut out Of the
fire for them by helping them to
throw the Presidential election into
the House Of Representatives, which
they control. If the Alliance ap-
proves Of this sort of thing it is
none of our funeral, but we must
say that we prefer seeing that organ
ization come out square and above
board for the democratic party. The
result striyen for would be precisely
the same, and there would be no
sailing under false coiors.
The democrats IN some instances
attempt to deny that their party is
without principle and that it exists
only by opposition aud evasion. No
one viii deny that Representative
Lee, OF Virginia, is a Representative
democrat. In recent newspaper
interview he gave his ideas Of what
the party should do rs follows: "it
strikes me that In a nutshell the
policy Of the democratic party lies
III few points. The first of these
is to subordinate everything to the
party success Another is that we
must not consider any issues on
which the party is divided until
after The fight of 1892. As to our
policy IN Congress, it seems to me
there can be little doubt. What we
should do is simply to assume and
maintain a state Of mastery mac
tiyity.n Gen. Lee has let the demo.
cratic cat out of the BAG with a ven
geauce, and his want Of tact will
cause him to be eXecrated by shrew-
der members of his party. There
may have been more abject con.
fessions of political cowardice than
that outline ed by his remarks, out If
so we have no recollection Of them.
MADISON Jo,lraaJ.. Here are
some examples Of the "fair and just
apportionment" by the democratic
machine; The First and Seventh
wards of the city of Milwaukee are
thrown together to make an Assem-
bly, district, although the combined
population Of the two wards is 10000.
The third ward Of Milwaukee, is
made an assembly districts, al enough
it has but population of 1000.
The county of Ozlukee is made an
assembly district, with population
of $4,000, aud the county of La
Cross, with population of $4,000,
is made an assembly district. And
TINS is said by the democratic ma.
chine and its organs to be "a fair
and just apportionment,"
R1eurLy the Sunday Telegraph
says; GLOW confidently the count.
~ can rely upon Grand James G..
Blaine to say precisely the right
thing at precisely the right time,
His reply of last Wednesday to the
hasty If not insoleut demands and
action Of the Italian government,
hits the mark squarely, as did his
first communication, in which he
plainly told Italy that our country
would not be forced into hasty and
uucousjdered action touching tue
differences existing between the two
countries What glorious
thiug it is to have such a
mau-a man second To no
other in the world in the matter 81
brain, discipline, nerve and states
mausbip. Imagine the Nations
plight had a weak man been secre-
tary Of state when clustering little
Italy sputtered her implied threats.
The Nation would almost surely
have been humiliated. Oh, for gen
erations of Blaines in America until
the end Of time"
