The Republican journal., 1891-10-29

The November elections are near at hand
and interest center> in the three great States Of
Massachusetts,, New lork and Ohio. In the
former State Gov. Russell was elected last year
by the Republicans Tho abseuted themselves
from the polls. 1t was not an increased Dem
ocratc vote that elected a Democratic Gov
ernor in this Republican State, but the failure
to cast the usual Republican vote. Some have
thought that because the gubernatorial nominal
ton did not go to Mr.. Grape there may be like
Republican apathy this year, but this remains
to be seen. Ii the Republicans poll their full
vote the election of Allen i of course assured.
1t begins to look as if thi, will be done Re
publican prospects in Massachusetts, have
frightened wonderfully Of late; due in part to
the bright speeches Of Hon. 7. b. Reed and
Hon, Henry Cabot Lodge, and in part to the
appearance on the Democratic stump of Mr.
Mills, of Texas, the eminent free trader and
free silver man, and the distinguished oppo-
nent of free public schools 1t Is strange in
deed that such a man should be used to In
>truct voters in a State whose public schools
have attained such high rank and so long been
tics. Nor can Mr.. Mills free trade sentiments
be altogether acceptable In the busy manufact-
uring towns, while the thinking Democrats of
Massachusetts, and elsewhere. realize the
danger of free silver. Unlike some Of the
Southern men who fought on the Confederate
side. Mr.. ILLS hates the Union veteran and
votes and works against him. His manners on

gent and civilized community. At Holyoke
the other night some one asked him about the
Mckinley bill and sugar. He replied "You
lake your whiskey straight, don't YOU" At
New Haven a workingman in the audience eX-
pressed 4 desire to ask Mr.. Mills certain ques-
tons. The questions were pertinent and had
a direct bearing on the speech which Mr.. Mills
had been making. This time his reply came
in the shape of the order: $50 home and
soak YOUR head" This should be one of the
