BOTH ARE ISSUES.

II is matter Of taste whether man
who claims to be a Democrat shall exalt
the tariff reform or the Force bill ques-
ton to the first place in this campaign
They are both great issues, and the
Democratic principles are Numerically
opposed to the record Of the Republican
party on both.
No man who adheres TO Democratic
principles and votes with the Democratic
party can 60 astray on either. All in.
telligent and fair.minded men of
every class, who have not been
seduced by the profits that ac-
cruo from the various schemes Of
tariff robbery, or who are not blinded by
partisan hate Of the South and an insane
and unseemly love for the negro, de.
precate the excess to which the protoc-
ton idea has been carried and condemn
the use to which the Force bill legisla-
tion will be put.
There are some jealous souls, however,
who. offended at the prominence and
popularity which Cleveland has gained
by advocating and then boldly blAz-
ing the way for tariff reform,
have conceived the plan Of dlscredlting
him, and probably Of defeating him, by
giving greater prominence to another
question.
Cleveland is as heartily opposed
to the Force bill methods, past and
prospec tive as any man in the Union
but he won his fame with the people by
advocating free wool when it was an un.
popular thing for him to do; when,
owing to the timidity OF the real Demo
Gratis and to the treachery Of the bogus
or protection Democrats, it proved q
disastrous thing TO do. The pso pie
know that Cleveland is sincere,
bold able, ineorruptible man. They can
not be won away from him directly but
they may be won away indirectly by
elovating the Force bill issue above the
issue with which tho name Of Cleveland
is thoroughly identified. That cannot b,
done but there are some treacherou'
and jealous souls who hope to do It,
Cleveland's cause is the peoples cause,
Cleveland is the peoples candidate. He
has no private ambition to subserve, n,
Office holders to reward, no tariff specula
tors TO pay, no subsidies to advocate Fl,
Is in this canvass for principle. h,
has already enjoyed the highest homo
the people can bestow; and he is to-
self-respecting, too conscientious, to-
big and too brave to seek the Office o
president from any other than tho highes
motives that can move the heart Of pa
triot.
Hence, while not belittling the grea
issue OF the Force BILL by which tn
Republican party hopes to perpetual
itself in power. we must not allow it t
obscure tho Infamous Mckinley BIZ
and the oppressive taxes it puts on tn
people.
They are both great issues and the d,
narration Of the two parties is equal
radical on either. Neither one can b
obsoured by any true Democrat beeaus
the Democratic party and the recent DEN
, ocratie platform have taken equal
! strong grounds against both.

from Patrick Egan, who is an intensely
American irish-American and who, with
his adherents, have, no doubt, advised
President Harrison to make his message
hot and strong on the Force bill clause,

daily visits from the campaign clerks
