If the Brazilians do not pack Da Fon-
SEGA oil to keep company with Dom Pedro
they have not the grit we credit them
with.-Telegram.
Right for once. Fonseca is a wicked
old schemer.
just before the election leading Repub-
lican papers of Iowa were declaring that
II the Democrats carried that State this
fall there was no reason 10 suppose they
could not carry IL next year. IL Is only
falr 10 say, however, that most people are
IN the habit of saving things on the eve of
election which they do not care to be held
responsible for afterwards.
And this also is true, if Republican
papers really said that. Iowa is Re-
publican State next year with the right
nominee.
There is not state which held an cleo
tion last Tuesday, where IL can be demon
strated that the popular feeling against
the Mckinley taritf is ncreasing.-Spring-
field Union.
Precisely; the issue i'm Massachusetts,,
as Democrats Were careful to insist be-
forehand, was "Gov. Russell's Admin
istration." In New York, according to
one side Tammany was the issue, ac-
cording to the other the worlds fair.
Gov. Russell will again enjoy the posi-
tion of king with nothing 10 say. His
collaborators in the state government are
able To keep his hands tied behind his
back without his being more than a
gurehead.-Boston News.
An II. - .,
will only be possible through Republican
assistance.
Gladstone thinks that Milton was the
first author TO sell manuscript. This
was probably because return postage was
so high in Johns time. e.--ChiSago Herald.
What difference would that make |?
Milton would have had to pay the retnrn
postage himself If il was TO be returned.
The people "cannot be deluded as to the
importance of sound money" y."-Interview
with Grover Cleveland.
How was it then, Mr.. Cleveland, that
when Mr.. Bland on the fifth of June,
1890, moved to instruct the coinage
committee to report bill providing for
free silver coinage, 101 Democratic Rep
resentatives voted Eyes" and only 13
voted NO? How was it that in the
Senate 23 Democrats voted for free sill
yer and only three against it?
One doesn't need to be protectionist TO
understand that for the present the advan-
tage of situation and logic is with Major
MCKINLEY and the Republicans. - New
York Sun.
The Sun occasionally makes an intelli-
gent effort TO live up TO its calm and
cheerful assertion: "If you see it in the
Sltn it's So"
No returning board business is regarded
as possible in this state although the
Democratic temptation TO give the Repub-
licans taste of Florida, South Carolina
and Louisiana returning board methods,
is dangerously strong.-Brooklyn Eagle.
If the New York Legislature is counted
Democratic it may be well to remember
some of these frank admissions.
At present the Mugwumps howl for
gratitude to Mr.. Cleveland for the pheno-
menal strength developed by Mr. Flower
in the rural regions of New York Not the
Democrats but the great Mugwump must
have the credit for Democratic glories,
past or present. The Democrats are
nothing and deserve nothing. The Demo
cratic party has endured since Thomas
jefferson. 1t has had a splendid history
and elected presidents in the face of APP
palling difficulties. But there has been
one effort beyond its strength-it was
poweress to re-elect Grover Cleveland
New York Sun
This is cheerful prospect, is it not,
for clawing rather than purring when
Grover and the Tiger lie down together !;
not even little Ruthie can lead them.
This year the Prohibitionist vote ap-
pears to have been decreased. Probably
considerable of it went TO Gov. Russell. -
Worcester Evening Post.
AS did that of the liquor dealers, with
whom many times before the assistant
Democrats have worked in brotherly
harmony.
