Two Great Campaigns.
IN OHIO.


Cleveland's letter on silver is doing
excellent service in the Ohio campaign,
but not for Campbell. = Philadelphia
Press.
The next time the Ohio Democrats get
hold Of silver plated gun they will
hardly blow into the muzzle to see if it is
loaded Washington Post (Ind.).
A graded income tax and a degraded
dollar are the means by which the Ohio
Democrats vainly hope to rob the work
ingmen and farmers of the State -Cleve-
land Leader.
The Ohio Democracy is plunged into
gloom as it learns that Senator Brice has
arrived in that State to settle his rail
road strike, rather than open a "bar1"
for campaign purposes. Boston Trav-
el!er.
1t looks as if the Ohio Democrats will
yet have to call on Judge Thurman, old
and rheumatic as he is, to hobble out
and give some life, strength and charac
ter to their mpaign.-Cincinnati Com
ne ial-Gazette.
So far as his money can make it lively
Mr.. Brice will put life into the cam
pai9n.-Wheeling Intelligencer.
One blast upon the buge horn of old
"Bill" Allen would be worth many thou
sand men to the Ohio Democracy in this
moment of panic.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
An honest dollar is the noblest work
Of statesman Leader.
No wonder Maj. Mckinley is eager to
meet his opponent in joint debate. The
lay of the land will favor him in any
engagement -Pittsburg Dispatch.
Senator Brice says Gov. Campbell will
surely be re elected. Has the Senator's
prediction apparatus been overhauled
and repaired since Washington
Post.
jeremiah Sockless seems to have dis
appeared from view for time. When
he was in Chic probably some one told
him that this State was not inhabited
by unwashed barbarians. Cleveland
Leader.
The leading issue in the campaign is
prohibition. = Council Bluffs Globe
Dem. J.
The Iowa Governor is probably the
first man to discover that the saloon
keepers right to sell liquor rests upon
divine authority. Sun.
Gov. Boies should not be blamed for
making his canvass on the prohibition
issue. He was first elected on that
issue, and he would be ungrateful if he
did not show his gratitude to the saloon
element that supports him solidly.-
Burlington Hawkeye.
Gov. Boies is drawing in his horns on
the anti prohibition issue. One of the
most uncOmpromiSing of the old-line
Democrats of Iowa is Senator Bolter.
He tells Boies to sing small On anti-pro-
hibition while he is in Central Iowa, or
he will come out at the little end of the
horn in November. 1t must be a ter
rible strain on the intellect to canvass
the Hawkeye State for the Democracy.
Fort Wayne Gazette.
The tactics of the Democracy in the
present campaign deceive nobody. They
cannot hide the evil effect of the Gov
ernor's New York speech, nor can they
conceal their design to steal the State,
if they can, in the interest Of the solid
South, during the Presidential campaign
next year, by seeking to divide the Re-
publican vote on a suboriina issue.
The Republicans of Iowa have cut their
wisdom teeth this year, and intend to
act accordingly. And what is more, the
farmers will help them.-Council Bluffs
NonpareiL
Believing that it is more important
for anti-monopoly interests to defeat
license this year than to defeat any
other monopoly interest, we do not hest
tate to reiterate our conviction that it
is the duty of every temperance man in
Iowa, whether he be Republican, Demo
crat, Third party Prohibitionist, or Peo-
pies party man, to unite with the Re-
pubicans in grand, final, and glori-
ously victorious charge upon the saloon.
This all of these elements can do with
out permanently changing their party
relations and without waving a single
principle. -Des Moines News.
Mr.. Wheeler has many friends in
Iowa, and wherever he goes he makes
more. Quite Unexpectedly he visited the
Harlan fair, and the Republican says Of
him: Gas soon as it was known shat the
distinguished visitor was presaat, large
numbers of those present f1ocked to meet
him, and from 1000 to l 800 tooE him by
the hand and wished him weiA The
Governor is good-looking, suave. COM
panionable and presentable, and made
splendid impression on all who saw him,
regardless or party. He is a man whom
no Iowa Republican need be ashamed
to meet and introduce to his friends
as our standard bearer.-SiouX City
Journal.
