POLITICAL DRIFT.

eB-Cleveland says he has not changed
the opinions that he entertained in
1883. Hence there is no reason why
the people should reverse the verdict
which they have rendered in his case,
st. Louis Globe Democrat.
g#"T The appeal for funds by the demo
cratic national committee has not been
wholly in vain. Mr.. Cleveland has sent
in his check for ten thousand dollars,
1t will be remembered that he CON
tributed a similar amount toward his
defeat in 1sss.-Troy Times.
sB-There is said to be a lack of
money in the democratic committee at
New York "A democratic campaign Of
education without the efficient service
of barrel is novelty and will not
win over many converts The dollar is
the only effective argument the demo-
Gratis have lcft.-Omaha Bee.
EF-The democratic nillionaires are
begging five-cent contributions from
democratic voters instead of putting
their hands into their own pockets fos
funds. Cleveland might contribute
that one hundred thousand dollars hs
made out of his red top real estate
speculation at Washington City.-Tole-
do Blade.
cThe supreme court has declared
the Mckinley law constitutional. The
decision OF the highest court in the
| land, however, is of no more impor.
tance to the free traders than the pro-
tectionist views of Thomas jefferson,
James Madison, Andrew jackson and
the other fathers of democracy.--Al
bany Journal
Republican platform: Protection
to American industries. Democratic
PLATFORM Tariff for revenue only.
The first means goods used in Amer
lea are to be made in America, and the
second means they are to be made in
Europe. Goods made here means
wages earned here. Goods imported
means wages earned in Europe. To
ledo Blade.
sB The democrats are in error who 4
suppose the hostility of the ex-soldiers
to Cleveland is due to the fact that he
stayed at home during the war. They
hate him because he accompanied his 4
vetoes of pensions by messages which
not only insulted the applicant but in
suited every other old soldier. Hence
the soldiers are against him, and will
work and vote to defeat him.-St. Louis
Globe Democrat.
sB-The democratic party processes
to be the enemy of all trusts yet Mr..
Whitney, the representative of the
Standard oil monopoly, the greatest
trust in the country, sends ten thou
sand dollars to the democratic national 81
committee. Mr.. Whitney as a good
democrat doubtless understands the full
measure Of the democracy's real hos
tiity to such com binations. He knows
that it is hypocritical in this as in most
other things. Times.
tY- Wayne MacVeagh has been stul-
tifying mugwump for at least eight
years, but the democratic bosses arc
now trying to revive the dropping
spirits of their deluded and detected
followers by shouting that Wayne
MacVeagh is going to vote for Cleve-
landl' lie voted for Cleveland in 1888
and in 1884 He left the republican II
party two years before Blunder Boies
did, and yet he is now claimed as
new convert to democracy! Why not
warm up Gov. Boies again, as new
convert?-Iowa State Register.
tE Blatherskite democratic politi-
clans say that the Mckinley bill works
oppressively and makes the lot of the
man who tolls harder. Edward Atkin-
son, free trader who is not running
for Office and who does not think it the
square thing to tell lies even to back
up a free-trade argument, says: The
share of the annual product which il
now falling to workmen, in the strict
est sense, is bigger share of a bigger
product than workmen have ever at
tanned before in this or any other coun-
try.''-San Francisco Chronicle.
N The democrats have taken to dis
cussing the tariff question in the south
ern states; but this appears to be
a wholly unnecessary proceeding. The
southern whites are mostly free traders
already, while the Degroes-well, it =.
does not matter what they think on the /.
subject, since tx cir vote does not count l
anyhow, unless Il is on the democratic
side. There can be no reason for this
waste of breath and time except it be-
done for effect-that is to create an inn 4
preston that the democratic majority, fl
which has been determined on before 7,
hand, is the result of the eonviet ion Of -
the voter. Chicago Journal.
