Bring Them Along.

Mr.. JOHN W. DWIGHT Of the sub-commit-
tee OF the Executive Committee OF
the Republican State Committee. which
subcommittee has the duty Of pro-
viding Wind for the canvass. announces
cheerily that 1.-The Republican Committee
proposes to mako a talking campaign"
Among the takers who are to be brought
into the State to sing the virtues OF the
grand old party. with incidental encomiums
OF Mr.. PLAT and his automaton. are the
Hon. THOMAS BRACKETT REED OF Maine and
the Hon. JOHN c. SpooNER OF Wisconsin. The
New York Democrats will be glad to have
these men come. They arc politicians Of
high ability and distinction. but there has
been about them since last fall an odor Of
defeat and calamity. and their coming Is no
hopeful sign for the New York Republicans.
On the morning OF the Tuesday after the
first Monday In last November there were
two Men from Maine. and which was the
greater was question that busted many
minds. On tho morning OF tho Wednesday
after the Tuesday after the first Monday in
last November. there was but one Man from
Maine. and Mr.. REED was not that man.
On that same morning Mr.. SpooSER found
out that he was to BIO succeeded in tho
Senate by Democrat. In importing these
two eminent Republicans. the Republican
subcommittee on Wind IL not importing
mascots or birds Of good augury.
Mr. REED and Mr.. SPooNER will be most
welcome. The Democrats need them. Mr.
REED. personally man OF large intelec-
tual gifts and the utmost good humor is
the representative and quintessence OF the
Billion Congress. He is the summary OF the
work OF that notorious body. He will serve
to remind the New York Democrats. II their
memories need to be quickened and re-
freshed. OF the dirty work OF the Elections
Committee, the illegal and impudent un-
seating OF Democratic members indisputa-
bly, elected. the suppression OF the parlia-
mcntary rights OF the minority. and the
wild fnancia! debauch which cost the coun-
try q round billion.
Mr. SPOoNER Is a good lawyer. a forcible
speaker. and q man OF attractive personal
traits. Unfortunately for his reputation. he
shares with Senator ALDRIcH OF Rhode ISL
and-the sputtering and Intellectual Mr.
HOAH doesn't count-the dishonor OF head
ing the desperate conspiracy Of the Rcpub-
lican extremists to bring Federal bayoncts
to the polls. and make the creatures OF the
Republican party the challcngcrs and the
counters Of the votes. tho judges and mas
tiers OF Federal elections. Tho people OF this
town haze an especial interest in Mr.. SPOON
Err. II he Ind been successful In his labors
for tho Force bill. tho DULLES and the
spies Of JOHN !. DAVENPORT. one OF the
authors OF that revolutionary and rascally
measure. would have controlled elections
In this town. 1t Is no fault OF Mr.. Spoon
Frs that New York continues to enjoy the
right Of FREQ elections. Every speech Of his
will be reminder to the Democrats Of New
York Of the danger that they have escaped
and an incentive to make the protest Of tho
State against tho brutal and extravagant
course OF the Republicans In tho Fifty-first
Congress more emphatic and impressive.
1t Is very good OF the subcommittee on
Wind to promise to bring Mr.. REED and
Mr.. SPooNER into the campaign.
