A MANAGER WANTED.


Nominations Tor successor to Quay Now
In Order.
Who will distribute the fiat and
marshal the blocks Of Ave for the re-
publicans, in the presidential canvass
next year? Quay's marvellous success
in converting the pious Wanamaker's
dollars into votes for Harrison firmly
established his reputation as the great
est majority maker in the party, but
his reputation in other respects has sui
fered such frightful damage since tho
campaign of 1888 that the republicans
would never dare to put him in his old
place again Had Mr.. Platt elected
Fassett, he could undoubtedly have
had the post of manipulation in chief il
he had wanted it But Mr.. Platt did
not elect Mr.. Tassett. His failure in
that enterprise not only destroyed his
pretensions as a political manager, but
very seriously impaired the reputation
of some of the most eminent election
prophets in this community. A blum

knows so little about the condition of

Mr.. Clarkson is now the most promis
ing candidate for the Quay succession.
but we fear that even he, great as are
his attainments and his contempt for
political decency. does not possess the
entire confidence of Mr.. Harrison, Mr.
Blaine or the other gentlemen who are
said to be interested in the republican
nomination. The fairest way to settle
the business would be competitive

A PLEA FOR SILENCE.

Tho Shah of Ohio Wants to Muzzle the
People.
The esteemed organs of mutual ra-
pine are sermonizing from the text
furnished them by Mr.. Mckinley when
he made the profound observation that
"the Judgment of the people does not
approve the constant agitation of the
tariff issue in the face of the fact that
il can accomplish nothing
Without stopping to consider the SER
mons, we win confine ourselves to the
text, which is sufficiently absurd to in
dictate the nature of the sermons on it,
The only reliable way of getting the
Judgment of the people is through tie
ballot box, and as they have expressed
themselves there it was emphatically
in favor of continuing the exposure of
the crimes and follies of the Mckinley
bill until its repeal is forced. This is
what majority of the people voting
since the passage of the bill have said
in every instance, but even If it were
otherwise, the right of appeal to the
majority would remain, and any mi
nority, however small, could go on in
the exercise OF it, confident that in the
end right will win in its appeal to the
majority, no matter how small the mi
nority, who, as attorneys for the right,
plead its case before the bar where,
under our system of government, in
Justice. with law on its side, is called
to account. Mr. McKinley's thought
in challenging this right to appeal is
entirely un-American and alien. 1t is
the spirit in which the Mckinley bill
was forced through house which had
ceased to be deliberntiye BODY
under the Reed dictatorship.
In protesting against the discussion
of his bill, Mr.. Mckinley urges fur
Their that discussion should be aban-
doned lin the face of the fact that it
can accomplish nothing
1t is true that the veto of a most rad
ical and bigoted partisan il in the way
of reform at present, but every time a
falsehood Is exposed and wrong de-
nounced, something 10 accomplished.
Everyone who knows the Mckinley
bill knows that it cannot stand after it
has been exposed and its manifold
frauds and follies made plain to the
people. Even II the odds against re-
form were tenfold greater. something
can be accomplished, everything can
be accomplished, BY keeping the
truth constantly before the people. No
plea for silence that the author and
beneficiaries Of the bill can make can
be entertained There can be no ces-
sation in the exposure Of il until this

riching the rich by imposerishing the

Paper Driving Berts.

One of the largest establishments in

turning out paper belts that have the
reputation Of being superior in many
respects to those Of leather; these belts
are made from pure linen stock, and
are Of any desired thickness, width or
length, having also a driving power
equal to any other from an equal sur.
face, and, while II is not claimed for
them that they are adapted to all kinds
OF work, they are found to serve well
as straight driving belts of not less
than Ave inches in width. When they
have been tested side by side with
leather belts for strength and durabil-
ify, they are alleged to have proved
equally satisfactory, adhering very
closely to the pulley, generating no
electricity while running, being also
flexible, and unaffected by temperature
within ordinary limits, though there is
one place in which they cannot be used.
