A snmnle Cnmnnirn Lie.

The Ohio Democratic managers have
outdone themselves in their campaign
Of Misrepresentation against Mckinley.
One of their agents, r. @. Holden, Of
Cincinnati, a commercial traveller, is
circulating throughout the State story
to the effect that while in London, Eng
land, he saw Major Mckinley purchase
a set OF furniture for $3.50 which he
could have bought at home for Sl75.
OF course, Holden's object is to show
that although the great protectionist
talks for home industries he does his
own buying abroad at a greater cost.
it's a very pretty story and might
prove an effective weapon in the hands
Of the Democracy 1t were true. But
it is not true, and Major McKinley's
denial comes in such shape as to be a
complete refutation Of the charge. He
declares that he not only never bought
furniture outside Of his own country,
but that he never was in England in
his life, and that, therefore, this enter
prising peddler OF campaign fakes never
could have seen him in London.
This is only sample Of the charac-
ter of stories Fheq19 traders are circu-
lating in Ohio. They arc all on par
with the tin cup lie that proved SO
effective last year and have no more
truth in them than was contained in that
atrocious invention. The Democratic
managers should call its man Holden in
and place more talented inventor Of
campaign weapons on the road-one
who will not be SO easily caught.

Allegheny county, Pa, spent two and
a half million dollars in building "in
impregnable granite court house and
jail fitted up withapproved safeguards"
and yet Fitzsimmons, the desperate
who murdered Detective Gilkinson, and
who was confined in the bastile, found
a way to escape. Now the people OF
Allegheny county are wondering if it is
possible to construct a perfectly safe
Jail.
1t strikes those who have read the
published accounts OF the daring escape
that perhaps what the Allegheny coun'
ty public should do is to set on foot an
inquiry among the Jail officials Such a
movement might result in the unearth-
ing of some surprising things. That
tho noted criminal was aided in his es'
cape is not doubted; that money was
used is apparent, and perhaps somebody
connected with the Jail can tell about
how it was all done.

The latest alleged Blaine interview re-
ports the great leader as saying to a
friend that if nominated for President
he will accept; that he is not handicap
ped by any pledges, and that he will
write no letter forbidding the use Of his
name. The name Of the gentlemen to
whom Mr.. Blaine is reported to have
made this statement is not given, and
the story may therefore be taken with u
grain OF salt. 1t is probable that when
Mr.. Blaine is ready to announce his
position, he will not do SO through an
anonymous newspaper interview. That
is not his way of doing things.

wnEEIING. sErTEaBER II. 1901.
New York Democrats and Their
Flower Barrel.

The nomination OF Roswell P. Flower
for Governor OF New York by the Dem.
ocrats of that State was victory for the
Tammany faction, and therefore IN en-
dorsepent by the representative Demo-
Gratis OF the Empire State Of the most
corrupt political organization in the
United States. The nomination Of
Shcehan for Lieutenant Governor was
in the line of keeping the Tammany
slate intact, and involved more even
than did the nomination of Flower,
since it meant that there was no COM
promise between the Hill and Cleve-
land factions, as 1t was previously
thought there would be. Hilland Tam
many had the convention by an over
powering majority. They ruled the
Cleveland men out and the ex-Presi-
dents following in the State was sim
ply "not in it."
1t must not be supposed that the de-
feated faction OF the New York Democ-
racy will quietly acquiesce. There is
too much at stake for them to accept
the result "like good Democrat The
matter has too direct bearing on next
years presidential contest.
Peace will not be patched up between
the factions. This is impossible, be-
cause the qunrrels have recently been
SO open and bitter that even tho Demo-
cratic papers in New York have been
compelled to give publicity to them and
have widened the breach by taking
sides.
With scarcely a possibility Of last
ing agreement Of peace among the
Democratic bosses and their followings
the outlook for Republican success in
New York this year is anything but
discouraging. Added to this is the ad-
vantage the Republicans possess by
reason OF having clean ticket, in the
support Of which not only are all the
Republicans united, but which has the
approval OF thousands OF honest citi-
zens of all parties. The nomination of
Fassett, a young Republican who COM
mands the respect Of the entire State,
was surprise to the Democrats, who
expected a factional candidate to be
named; but when Fassett was chosen it
was then too late to change the slate
headed by Flower, the millionaire and
boodler, and in tho face OF almost Ger
tain defeat the Democrats were obliged
to carry out the programme forced upon
them by Tammany. Their only reli-
ance for success is on the size Of Mr..
Flowers barrel, hut even that, as large
as it is, will not save them. 1t is a
good Republican year in New York,

In his speech yesterday before the
Massachusetts, State Republican Con-
vention, Henry Cabot Lodge, who was
chairman, took an advanced ground on
the question OF whether or not the sill
yer issue is a party matter. His asser-
ton that the Republican party stands
as bulwark against free coinage with
out previous national agreement, while
free coinage is a principal of the Demo-
cratic party, will be disputed by those
Democratic papers and leaders who are
as sound on the money question as the
Republicans are. They will contend
that it is not party issue and that it
cannot possibly become one
However, thoughtful people cannot
but feel the force Of Mr.. Lodges posi-
ton when he says: SIT is useless to
say that the Democrats of New England
are as sound on the money question as
the Republicans, but the Democrats Of
New England will be governed by their
party while they stay in it. The ami
able young men whom they elected to
Congress last fall talk rs II they could
