ALBERT GRIFFIN, of Washington, D..
c., has placed before the public some
new facts in regard to the growth of
the Republican party in the South. His
conclusions are based on careful inves-
LEGATIONS, and are well supported. Mr..
Griffin proves conclusively that the Re-
publican party has made steady and rap
id gains where the proportion OF colored
population is the smallest, and that
Democratic gains are confined almost
exclusively to black counties. He also
makes it clear that if proper assistance
is rendered that six of these States,
and possibly eight, may be secured to
the Republican party next year. Where
race does not enter, the tariff question
is making the manufacturing South Re-
publican.

AN income tax, which the Democrat
ic platform favors, would place a pre-
MUM upon worthlessness and stultify
progress. 1t is the most hated form OF
taxation, has never been a success, and
never can be, because such plan arises
from wrong principles. The platform on
this point lets go the tangible and valua,
BILE franchises of corporations and seeks
to put a weight on the progress of mind
Still, making people worthless is about
the only way to make Democrats
out of them.

In a speech at Cleveland Sunday, Mr..

Hammer, the organ of the alleged Peo-
ple's Party, outlined the policy of his
party in conducting campaign. He
said: "My friends, go out and tell all

JERRY SIMPSON is out in an interview,
in which he denies that he is coming to
Ohio to stump the State this fall, and
gives his reasons for not coming. Among
them he says that he is not stump
speaker, and does not feel himself capa-
BILE of addressing the intelligent farmers
of Ohio. We knew that long ago, Jer-
ry, still you seem to have learned a
thing or two since your advent into
public life, and one is that you do not
know as much as you thought you did.

THE farmer who is dissatisfied with
the Mckinley bill needs only to consid-
er that he is getting eleven cents more
per pound for his wool than he would
under the policy the Democrats propose.
Eleven cents is considerable of an item
on pound of wool, yet that is just
what the tariff is doing for the farmer.

THE old chestnut cry that the tariff
fosters trusts is again being worked by
Democratic jawsmiths. Though Eng
land, their ideal land, is plastered knee
deep with trusts, they still assert that it
is due to protection that any trusts ex-
ist here at all. Tariff or no tariff, trusts
will exist, and such an ancient, exploded
assertion will not do much damage.

THE Democrats adopted a device for
the head of their ticket that is easily
recognized as an emblem of their prin-

truly indicative of the methods and
fields the Democrats enter in order to
gain ascendancy.
