Perhaps MT. Powdorly Takes tho Financial
Plank Too Seriously.
From the st. Louis (Mo.> Post-Dispatch.
Whatever Mr.. Poverty thinks about
protection he is very unfair in charging
tho Democratic party with favoring
wildcat currency. He is merely repeat
ing a Republican cry, the falsity OF
which must be known to every intelN-
gent man.
Satisfied That Mr.. Cleveland is Solid for
Moro Money.
From the Birmingham (Ala.) AgeHerald.
In only one point was there any un-
cercainty or question as to where Grover
Cleveland stood, and he dispels that un
certainty by an avowal OF his sympathy
with the people in their demand for
more money, and in any plan adopted
he will secure, so far as he can, protec-
tion against wild and reckless imitation.
Protected Manufacturers Fail to Name the
Rate OF American Wages.
From the Rochester IN. " Herald.
AS the case stands at present the pro.
tected manufacturers demand tariff
that will enable them to pay american
wages" yet they refuse to indicate what
those wages are. II there is any selfish
privilege under the sun that the pro-
tected classes do not sock to enjoy we
would like to know what it is.
Tanners Aphorism Would Make Great
Motto for a Banner.
From the Philadelphia (Pa.) Herald.
Wouldn't Corporal Tanners express
sion when he took hold of the pension
Office "God help the surplus" be an ex.
pressive and appropriate inscription
for Republican campaign banners? Not
withstandlng the corporals invocation,
Providence didn't see proper to take
care Of the surplus and the Republicans
managed to get away with 1t.
Charging Weaver With Working In tho
Interest of Harrison.
From the Americas (Ga.) Times Recorder.
General Weaver is working in the in.
terest OF the Republicans. He knows
he stands no earthly chance Of election,
and the only effect of vote for him is
to hurt Cleveland and strengthen the
chances for Harrison electoral ticket
After the election of 1880 prominent
Republicans declared that his candidacy
that year aided Garfield to defeat Han
cock, and for that at least, said one Of
them, 'let US ask God to bless him."
Civil Service Reform Loves Cleveland but
is Silent About Stevenson.
From the Philadelphia Record.
The friends of civil service reform are
giving their support to Grover Cleve.
land. They are disposed to Judge Of
President Harrison by his practices
rather than by his professions 1t is a
singular thing that while the Republi-
can party has been chiefly instrumental
in promoting reform legislation looking
to the establishment Of non partisan
civil service, it has also been the most
active in violating its own enactments
Explaining tho Causes OF Recent Electro
cal Disturbances in the Empire State.
From the Macon Telegraph.
All Georgia is proud of Hon. John
Temple Graves. His tour through the
State of New York Is in the nature of
an ovation. His speeches in behalf OF
Cleveland have an eleotrifying effect,
and arouses the greatest enthusiasm
among the immense audiences that
greet the eloqueut and gifted young
Georgian. Graves is power on the
stump. and his argument, logic and or
atory will help carry New York for the
Democracy in November next.
