POINTS FOR The PEOPLE.

The Flower barrel was potent
in New York and the whisky barrel in
Iowa. Springfield Journal.
Gy- Mills seems to have done Nc
Kinley very good turn by his stump
ing tour through Ohio.-Cleveland
Leader.
s5y- 1t is stated on good authority
that Mr. Flowers "bill' will be OF
more imposing proportions than any
that Maj. Mckinley was ever connect
ed with-Detroit Tribune.
B When the democrats gerry
wandered Maj. Mckinley out of con-
gress they unconsciously gave him one
of the signal advantages of his career
st. Louis Globe Democrat
The enormous republican majori-
ty in Pennsylvania will be a severe dis
appointment to the democrats, who
were counting on local success this
year in that invincible republican
stronghold Paul Pioneer Press
Is The Ohio gerrymander put Nc
Kinley out of congress. But it was
boomerang and lifted him into the
governors chair and revolutionized the
legislature of the state. There will be
some kind of kick at the Tammany
Tiger in lS92.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
IB7 The Ohio republican state COM
mittee sent a dispatch to Roger Q.
Mills, thanking him for his labors in
that state, and asking him to come
again next year" But for Mills, the
democratic majority in Iowa probably
would have been twice the present fig
ures. Chicago Journal
sB Now put your ear to the ground
and you will hear the distant rumble
of a Flower and Boies boom. 1t won't
last long, but it will tickle the man
with the coat of arms and fatter the
Iowa calamity howler, besides afford
ing the ticket makers little harmless
amusement Minneapolis Tribune.
EB Republicans did pretty well this
tlll after all In New York we saved
The legislature, one branch of which
was democratic last year. In Iowa the
legislature is republica on joint bal
lot All of the state ticket, excepting
the governor, was elected in Massa-
chusetts, and, in spite of the alliance,
Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota
were carried by decisive majorities.
The outlook for '92 is good.-N. Y.
Mail and Express.
GNWe would that the republicans
of some of our sister states had faced
the campaign on national questions
rather than have allowed the enemy to
fasten them down to campaigns turn
ing upon bubbles, or in which person
alities and other utterly inconsequent
things were made the dividing lines
| between the voters The republican
party always has been party of prin-
ciple and has won its victories upon
great issues. Toledo Blade.
rE-In the reelection of Gov. Boies
the people of Iowa have again rendered
verdict against prohibition. 1t will
not be questioned that this was the
real and vital issue of the campaign,
and the popular judgment again 50
plainly and Enthusiastically declared
ought to convince the republican party
Of the folly, almost criminal from a
political point of view, of its position
on this question. Republican adher-
ence to prohibition will inevitably
make Iowa a democratic state, not only
in off years but in all years. Omaha
Bee.
| NThe candidate is often like the
prophet, without honor in his own
home Especially is this true where
the candidate has been long in public
life and must necessarily disappoint
many of his old constituents. 1t is q
happy augury that Maj. Mckinley i
not in this class. His home is in q
county that has for years been demo
cratic This is Stark, and two years
ago it gave democratic plurality o.
over l, 100. Last year Mckinley. in hi
race for congress, reduced his plurality
to less than 100, and last Tuesday ole
Stark went over to the side of McKin
lev and gave a republican plurality
Such triumph in his own home is on
of the greatest compliments to Ma;
Mckinley. Where the people know
him best there he is most honored
Such il not the happy lot OF all grea
men. Chicago Inter Ocean
