WHY THsY VOTED FOR CLEVELAND.

Both Harrison and Reid, defeated
candidates for President and Vice
President, charge the overwhelming
defeat to the Mckinley bill. Many of
the great Republican dailies are equally
frank and acknowledge that the Re
publican party went too far in en-
forcing high tariff policy in time of
peace
There are, however, a vast number
of newspaper chumps who refuse to
read the handwriting on the wall and
are accounting for the general disaster
to the g o. p. upon every conceivable
ground but the true one.
One of these im6ecile organs says it
was the corruption aud fraud of the
political system of the great cities
which could poll practically limitless
numbers in opposition. Chicago is
cited as an example. No mention is
made of the inyincible independent
Republican voters who openly, often,
quietly, in most cases, cast their votes
for Grover Cleveland, to rebuke the
party of trusts, combines and grinding
monopOlies. Let us see how this is.
Months before the election the For
um asked large number Of represen-
tatiye business men of the great cities,
for whom and why they should vote.
Among them was General A. G. Nc
Clurg, the hero of ohilo, head of the
greatest publishing house of Chicago
and the West, and life long Repub-
lican of the old fashioned school.
In a mastery review of the situa-
tion, which appears in the Forum for
November, and which reflects the views
of thousands of Republicans who voted
for Grover Cleveland at the election
General McClurg says:
"For myself, while reared in the
school of strict protection, 1 have long
believed that the high protective duties
of recent years ought to be gradually
lowered. The old doctrine of the
protectionist was that high duties
could and should be reduced
when the home industries had
become firmly established. Today
that idea seems to be abandoned, and
the Mckinley bill must be taken as an
indication that duties are to be limited
only by the abilities of the lobbies of
the protected interests to secure further
increase.
These interests have grown so strong
that they are now the greatest menace
to the purity of our elections. They
are naturally called upon for layish
contributions to campaign funds, on
the ground that the party is doing ev-
erything for them. When these con-
tributions have been made and the
friendly party are again In power, ad
ditional fayors in the way of higher
protection are demanded of the party,
and must be granted. And 80 the re-
ciprocal benefits 60 on, and must go ON
until halt is called by the determine
tlon Of the people, expressed at the
polls, that the time has corue when du-
ties must decrease instead of increase. "

FOR CAss AND JACKSON.

The above question was submitted to
Mr.. Archibald McGregor, the Demo-
cratic cyclopedia of facts and figures in
this end of the State, eliciting the fol-
lowing reply. The NEws-DEMoCRAT
will publish any further information
on this subject which may be secured.
Old JacksOnian Democracy has taken
Il big revival in these latter days, and
the sixty years span from General Jack
son to Grover Cleveland is an arch of
hope in our sky of progress.
MR.. M'GREGoR's REPLY.
Ohio gave General Lewis Cass her
electoral vote. for President in 1S48.
And in 1882 General Andrew Jackson
received the electoral vote of Ohio.
Without taking time to look / am
qGite sure that in the early years of her
history Ohio generally gave her electo-
raj vote to the Democrats.
Yours etc,

CHAIRMAN CARTER of the National
Republican Committee says no educa-
tional plan could have been conducted
with greater satisfaction, so far as
reaching the people was concerned
Some forty million documents on the
tariff we're sent to the voters, who had
the opportunity to study the question
thoroughly. Besides this Mckinley
and his satellites were flaming like
comets across the lund sky of dense
popular ignorance. Carttr is right: II
was the campaign of education that
did it. What the country wanted was
thorough understanding of the de-
mands of McKinleyism in order to vote
it down and ont to the perdition from
whence it sprang.

THE Ohio Presidential

THE Ohio Presidential vote,
is as follows, beginning with
Fremont's plurality over Buchanan, In
1856, and the formation Of the Repub-
lican party, of 1898; Lincoln, in 1850 a
plurality of 2o669 and in 1864 of 59,5Se;
Grant plurality in 1868 of 4l,6l7 and
in 1872 of 34,26s; Hays plurality la
1875 of 2,747; Garfield plurality 27,77l
in 1880; Blaine aplurality of 3l,SoS, in
1884; and Harrison a plurality in 1883
of 1859. 1t will be seen that Blaine's
majority was away over that OF Gar
leld or Harrison, while Hays barely
pulled through by the skin of his teeth,
And yet it was Blaine who said there
was not line in the Mckinley bill that
would open the markets of the world to
another barrel of pork or another
bushel of wheat.

IN this era of joiifi,catt 6ns and tem-
inisences and strsRhterifs otfc-
codntf, I'M the light qftober ssccnd
thought, these commsnts of the New
York World upon the nickname that
was once applied to Grover Cleveland
is interesting reading; -.
And there is fitness In The nickname
too.
Mr.. Cleveland was true prophet
when he set the face of Democracy to-
wards reform, foreseeing that the coun-
try would In due time demand it. He
had the gift of the seer when at the
Washington centennial banquet he
avowed his unfaltering confidence In
the wisdom of the people who had so
recently overthrown bis cause, and his
assurance that they would soon come
to juster view and vote down the
policy of monopoly and class privilege
and oppressive taxation. They have
done it this year.
Aud this prophet is stuffed
lie is stuffed with the virtue which
accepts public office only as apublic
trust;
Stuffed with the honor which refuses
to "palter in a double sense" with words
or even to keep silence when-as at the
time of the silver craze frank utter
ance seems to promise only destruction
for his own and his party's ambition;
Stuffed with sturdy common sense
which "sess clear and thinks straight"
and so commends itself to the "plain
people who love the right and seek
justice;
Stuffed with foresight unsurpassed
by that of any statesman of our time;
Stuffed with q purity of patriotism
which views place and power merely as
opportunities to render service to the
country;
Stuffed with unprecedented majori-
ties, the eager tributes of the people in
testimony of their approval;
Stuffed with the confidence of his
countrymen, who have called him again
into their service in order that wrongs
may be righted, expressions over
thrown, errant tendencies checked, and
that government of the people, by the
people and for the people may not per-
ish from the land;
Stuffed with the Democracy that
means all this, for truly
The next President is Democrat.

GENERAL WEAVER is feeling mighty
jolly over the fact that he carried near
ly as many states as Harrison and says:
THE Republican party is as dead as
the whig party was after the Scott
campaign of 1853, and from this time
forward, will rapidly diminish in
strength in every State in the Union
and can never make another national
campaign. AL their great leaders have
been killed, including Depew and Nc
Kinley. 1t was our vote that defeated
Harrison in Indiana, Illinois and Wis
eonsin and side-tracked Mckinley in
Ohio.

Toledo Blade has the following con-
