THE Hill Cleveland row in New York
has become very interesting, and has
assumed proportions such as to practic-
ally insure the defeat of either for the
Democratic Presidential nomination
Hill. of course, has all the machinery of
the State for securing the delegates but
the Cleveland men are stirring up such
a racket over the manner in which he
secured this control that Hills Waterloo
is really in sight, although his downfall
will not inure to Cleveland's benefit.
Both will be knocked out. The Democ-
racy will be entirely at sea for candi-
date, and some Western man will be
almost sure to secure the prize.
But in the Republican party there is
no contest President Harrison has
given us wise conservative admins
tration and will receive the nomination
without contest. Doubtless other men
will be talked of, put none can develop
the strength that Harrison possesses,
and with the Republicans it should be
the old ticket over again.

A BILL to require railroad companies
to sell 1000 mile tickets, at two cents
mile, to make them transferable without
endorsement, and to permit two or more
persons to ride on the same ticket, the
company taking out as much fare as
there are passengers, has found its way
into the Legislature. The bill is GER
tainly a good one and contains no pro-
visions which can be reasonably objected
to by the railroad companies. 1t is
along the line of lower fares and ought
to pass.

THE Republicans need to begin early
in order to make clean sweep in this
county next fall. Already the Democ-
racy is at work and they will make a
desperate effort to retain what they
have, but this year is the time to root
them out entirely. Good men must be
and 1t is time to be looking
around to determine who they shall be.
1t will take hard fight and steady
fight to elect an entire ticket, but we
have the votes and can do it. One
Democratic official has spent three
fourths of his time in the last two years
to looking after reelection, and it is
time he should be retired to private
life. This year is auspicious and work
will count.
