GEN. McRAIGS CAMPAIGN.

GEN. McKAIGS CAMPAIGN.
We have at no time, before or since his
nomination, doubted Gen. McKaigs vindi,
cation and re election. We feel not only
politically, but morally sure that Gen. Nc
Kaig will be re elected and by largely in
creased vote. This result will be due not
alone to certain causes which are operating
lavoraby throughout the Congressional
District and the country at large in the
triumph of Democratic measures in the n-
ierest of the people, but largely to the
splendid canvass he is making.
Gen. McKaig is daily, and sometimes
twice day, addressing the people from the
hastings, and the logical manner in which
be discusses the great issues now agitating
the public mind appeals TO the intelligence,
patriotism and honesty of every voter
More than this, he is visiting the people at
their homes, ia the fields and the barnyards,
making the acquaintance of those he may
not know, seeing again those who have
given him their support, thus making plain
that he is one of the people and in their in
terest. He does not carry "bOodle" in one
pocket and promises in the other--he repre-
SCENTS honesty, fitness and capacity. He is a
clean man, the representative of a clean
party and in the interest of clean govern
ment lie holds out no rewards or induce
mcnts 10 the voter save which follows a

lie makes no promises save the all import.
ant one that he will, if re elected, as he Ger.
tainly will be, use the best energies of his
mind and 'heart in the legitimate interest Of
the people.
Could man have prouder credentials in
soliciting the suffrages of the peopley
Could the people desire or hope for
better type of noble and honest manhood as
their representative?
We have said that Gen. McKaig's re
election will be due to the operation of
other causes apart from the telling effect of
his splendid canvass.
What are these causesY The intelligent,
honest and patriotic element of the Repub
llcan party has become alarmed at the fraud,
corruption and wild extravaganza OF which
It's party is guilty, Of the burdens of taxa.
ton il has imposed on the poor for the bene

giant Legislation in the protection of the
manufacturing interest of the country. In
no part Of this wide spread country has this
fear assumed more formidable proportions
than in this Congressional District We
know of what we are speaking because we
have mixed with the people of the district.
The great farming interest is shaken from
its centre to its circumference The farmers
are crying out everywhere for cheap and
economic government-that the burden of
taxation must and shall be thrown Oft

ing them 10 Il cruel and relentless seryitude.
That they must have a change-they must
have honest men AS our representatives and
public otlicials-they must have clean
government and an impartial system of leg.
isation-that Gen. McKaig represents that
ierest Of those laws that will distribute the
burdens Of government fairly aud equitably
among the whole people. Throughout the
whole district they are clamoring for Nc
Kaig, and McKaig will be re elected.
There is another more potent cause. The
people may submit TO the cruelties of an
outrageous system Of taxation, but they will
not sand and tamely submit to the shackles
of bondage as is contemplated in the pro
visions OF the Force Bill. Mr. McCsmas
strayed away from his official duties as Sec
rotary OF the Republican National Commit.

President Harrison, In his own home, among
people whose confidence he had abused

that we must have centralized govern

That the negro vote OF the South must be

that he did not know that the negro had

political juggernaut, this vast complex ma

like mighty engine through the heart OF

McComas, when in Congress, voted for
this measure and his people condemned him.
Wellington has not the courage to publicly

The people know all this, that their very d
