POLITICAL DRIFT.

Congressman Mills has com to
the conclusion that the democi acy
would do well to lay the free silver
question aside for a season. !, Bit it
won't lay the epublicans find it too
handy, especially in Ohio = Minneapolis
Tribune.
sBIt is about time for the annual lie
to be started on it's travels thst the
colored voters of Ohio are in rsTolt
against the republican party. Is a
matter of fact, the colored vote in the
north will remain republican until the
colored vote in the south is free.-To-
ledo Blade.
The chief worry of the demo
cratic organs just now is over the man
ner in which the Mckinley law has
operated up to date. What is the use
of telling the farmer or workman that
the country is going to the dogs when
the clink of dollars tells him the con-
trary.-C Chicago Journal.
None of those good people who
are trying to persuade themselves that
the democratic party is really becom-
ing resp ectable should neglect the sug-
gestive spectacle which Mr. Mills pre-
sents, hau nting the lobbies of the New
York hotels, and begging for Tammany
| support in his contest for the speaker
ship.-Boston Journal. s =
Mr.. Mills, like the other aspir
ants to the speakership, has had to
cringe to Tammany 1t is fashion
with the "virtuous'' element of the
| democracy to abuse Tammany between
elections, but as that society runs the
party in New York, the democracy Of
the rest of the country is compelled to
recognize it when rayors are wanted
| st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
as The democratic party ought to
establish regular wailing places
| throughout the state as was done by
the ancient Hebrews of Jerusalem A
free lunch counter might be provided
| for those calamity shriekers who
wished to go there and wall because
the Mckinley bill made sugar free and
| placed duty upon tin and wool. The
| free silverites, and the free trade
editors would be attracted by the free
lunch and for a time at least they
would not be disturbing business by
wailing in public. -Cleveland Leader.
I Benjamin Harrisons speech at
Albany and William Mckinley speech
at Niles are two grant arguments in
behalf of republicanism which appeal
with force to intelligent and conserva.
tive men. The policy of the democ-
racy free trade and free silver
means tinkering of the tariff and de.
rangement of the finances, disturb.
ances of business and ultimate disas-
ter. Repubiicanism is gaining in
strength every day as a refuge for
those who believe in maintaining the
present tariff and financial status. Al.
