The fervor with which the Republican

perately anxious they are that the Demo

Journal and Bulletin.
To an unprejudiced eye the fervor
above mentioned means simply that the
Republicans understand, and understand
very thoroughly, the peculiar workings
OF the peculiar brain of peculiar Mr..
Mills.
A vote for Smith, Vaughan e. Co. will
be vote To bind the city hand and foot TO
monopoly. Telegram.
The Telegram excites itself so unnec-
essarily that il seems in danger of break
ing blood vessel. A vote for the Re-
publican ticket means a vote for an
honest, clean, businesslike administra-
tion of the city's affairs, calculated to
keep Providence where she is and where
she belongs, in the front rank of Ameri-
can municipalities.
Never say, "He was given reception" !"
Say, "A reception was given to him.
Newport Observer.
Quite right, esteemed contemporary ;
but in spite of your plea for correct Eng
lish and clear English, people will con-
tinue to be given to receptions, instead
OF having receptions given to them, in
half the papers printed tonight and to-
morrow morning.
When the Herald rises to remark that
"a perfectly sound speaker on the cur
ion. tN. h..N lIata ta aAf
available" no further comment upon the
attitude Of the Democratic party upon
the silver question is necessary. Boston
News.
Sound business methods and correct
views upon finance are things the coun-
try has never expected from the Demo
cratic party, and, fortunately, since thus
it has spared itself disappointment. On
the silver question, in spite OF few
grains of common sence still remaining
i'm the East, the party as a party is
wildly, hopelessly and absurdly astray.
1t is unhappily true that speaker VINO
is sound on the currency question can
not be looked for.
The Boston papers which urge Gov. Rus
sells fitness for IA place on the national
Democratic ticket should get together and
occupy. The Globe, in its usual whole
hearted spirit, thinks that the governor
should try for the presidency, while the
Post is content with the vice presidency.
Still others think that cabinet position,
in the event of Democratic success without
Mr.. Russell's name on the ticket would be
eminently fitting. All this difference of
opinion must leave the governor in u state
of harrassing doubt, and an agreement of
some sort should be made at once.-Spring-
field Union.
Willie is enjoying TO the utmost his
little boom. Next year there will be less
said about him.
The next contest for the presidency will
be between Harrison and the man New
York agrees upon as the best for the Dem
ocratic nominee. Constitution.
This is said with "A certain refreshing
positiveness, but in all these matters il
is well not to be prematurely sure. New
York is not, from present prospects, like
ly to get together sufficiently to agree.
The burning question of tin plate has
dropped out of the free trade organs since
the victory of Major William Mckinley,
Jr.-New York Recorder.
The calamityites will never own them
selves mistaken, but it is possible that
for brief period they may hold their
tongues. For this much of forbearance
the country is prepared TO be grateful.
The Democratic majority of $50 may be
trusted to satisfy its party and the coun-
try in the choice of a Speaker.-New York
World
The Democratic majority of $50 may
be trusted to elect speaker who will
not satisfy the party i'll the East nor men
of ripe business judgment anywhere.
Senator Sherman expressed his desire
rather than his opinion when he declared
that silver would be the issue i'm 1892. He
and all other sensible Republicans realize
the danger to the party in making the
Mckinley law an issue.-St. Louis Post
Dispatch.
On the contrary, all sensible Repub-
licans know that there are three main
issues as to which thinking people must
take sides They are sound money,
protection to home industries and re-
ciprocity. On these principles the Re
publican party fearlessly takes its
stand.
The liquor men in Cincinnati and other
cities knitted Campbell and that is what

It's great misfortune to good cause
to have Il crank to represent it. espec-
tally when the crank uses the truth so
economically. Every reading man
knows how the campaign in Ohio was
waged, as well as that in Iowa. If the
Lerer could have done it, the party in
Ohio would have been turned over TO
Democrats and the saloon, just as it
was in Iowa.
IL is said that those whom the gods wish 10
