WHEELING. DECEMBER =, 1901
Tho Crisp...HilI Victory,

Crisp wins the spcakership on the
thirticth round-and Hill scores n tell
ing point over Cleveland. The prcdic-
tions that Crisp's victory means that
the next campaign will be fought on the
free coinage issue, overlook tho impor-
tant fact that the Republicans will have
something to say about that campaign
and the issues on which it shall be con-
tested.
In the recent campaign in Ohio tho
Democrats tried to dodge the tariff
issue. That was too good an issue for
the Republicans, and they did not per
nit it to be evadcd. So it will be in the
greater campaign coming-the Demo.
Gratis will not be permitted to dodge.
The issues are the tariff and an honest
dollar. The Democrats will take the
wrong side OF both. The Republicans
will take the right side.
g. Whether Cleveland, Hill or somebody
else be the Democratic nominee, the
issues will be the same, for they mark
the present radical difference between
the two great parties. Ii Cleveland be
the nominee he will want to give the
prominence to the tariff. Hill would
turn more hopefully to the silver ques-
ton. The Republicans will push both
and force the Democrats TO meet them
or admit by their silence that they are
afraid to speak in public on the great
public questions OF the day.
The result OF tho spcakership contest
is a victory on the skirmish line for Hill.
1t is not n decisive defeat Tor Cleveland.
although it represents background which
he must struggle to regain. Tammany
has poorly requited Cleveland for the
assistance he gave it in the New York
campaign.

A Frcnchmun on Protection.

NJ, Jules Ferry, speaking in tho
senate OF France on the new general
tariff bill, turned with undisguised dis
gust from the economic policy OF Eng
land, which policy England has sought
in vain to fasten on the rest OF tho
world, to. the opposite policy as cxcm-
plifcd in the United States, which
doesn't care q rap what economic poll
cica other nations pursue. France"
says NJ. Ferry, "has but to keep at homo
and with her doors closed"
France is a ncxt-door neishbor to
Great Britain, and this is the impress
sion made by the British policy after all
these years Of preaching and example.
Vital rs tho friendship OF Russia is to
France, much rs il is desired by every
Frenchman, NJ. Ferry says where Russia
may hear him, that tho friendship Of
Russia would be bought at too high a
price If it had to be secured on u COM
mercial basis.
The fact is that the British CONNER
cial policy is discredited everywhere eS-

A Black Eye for Governor Hill.

"a biaiIFN Isgt toE NpNCTIOE 1IIll.
Governor Hill, in his effort to steal
the legislature OF New York, ran his
head against an honest Democratic
judge, and now he wears his eye in
mourning. Hills discontinue before
this judge is complete. Ii he shall 80
further and fare no better he will find it
impossible TO consummatc the villainy
which his boldness conceived.
OF the ballots cast in Duchess county
thirty-one were marked by a quad"
working out OF its place and coming to
the surface. Anybody having the least
familiarity with a printing office knows
this to be OF frequent occurrence
Readers notice the result, a meaningless
perpendicular mark between two words;
but they must know something about
the printers art to understand why it
happens so. ii these ballots can be
thrown out by the %canvassinS board,
the defeated Democratic nominee for
state senate will be elected. Ii they
cannot be thrown out Deanc, the Re-
publican nominee, who has since died,
will be returned as elected. In this
latter case an election will be ordered
to fill the vacancy, and the district will
certainly elect another Republican.
This Fill knows and this is what he
has hoped to defeat.
Judge Barnard held that the county
%canvassers had no right to refuse to.
count the ballots marked as described !;
that the return sent to the state board
OF canvasscrs does not indicate the true
result, and hat this board must hold
its hand until the true record reaches
it. The judge said also that NJ rights
were swept away because OF the death
OF Mr.. Deane. AS to the intent OF the
marking on the ballot, that was some
thing to BIO ascertained through the
proper remedy-the canvasscrs had
nothing to do with it.
Governor Hill will not applaud Judge
Barnard for this decision, but all honest
people will, and the Judge will have the
approval OF his own conscience, which
is better than the approval OF a gov
ernor without q conscience.
