EDITORIAL NOTES.

EDI1ORIAL NOIES.
If cholera RACES in this country it
will furnish more mental food for the
calamity-howlers.
Democrats are usually most exult-
ant before election; Republicans after.
The reason is apparent.
We haven't heard Democratic
howl about plutocracy since the min
ers' rebellion in Tennessee was de-
feated.
The election yesterday in Msine
went Republican by $4,000 majority.
There is not much Democratic com
fort in these figures.
There is calm in the presidential
campaign thus far; but it will be lively
enough in few days to suit the taste
of the most fastidious.
The Democrats are confident of
carrying Georgia and South Caroline.
Republicans have not been held in
high esteem in these states since 1861.
Tammany has harmonized with
Cleveland, and the pipe of peace has
been smoked. The ex.president has
gone to Buzzard's bay to celebrate the
event.
The Seattle canal will not cut much
figure in the political contest in WASH
ington. Republicans will support the
ticket, notwithstanding this plank in
the platform.
Governor Flower should display the
same promptness ir enforcing the law
at Fire Island that he did at Buffalo.
The better class of citizens will sup
port him, if the rabble are lawless.
The Democrats have received
crumb of comfort in the fact that Ar
kansas has given 1000 majority for
the party. 1t is long time since
there was fair ballot in that state.
Tammany has issued resolutions in
viting comparison between the Re
publican and Democratic parties The
record of the New York ring itself is
enough to everlastingly condemn the
party.
The annual fair at Salem is largely
attended this year, and in SO doing our
people display com mmendable interest
in agriculture and the mechanical in
dustries of our young and growing
state.
For the past two days there have
not appeared any letters from Mr..
Cleveland. The great heart of the
Democratic party will cease to pull
safe without cheering words from its
chief.
The Democrats, in the language of
Mr.. Watterson, will carry the war into
Africa or Africa into the w-r That |
is, they will make giant effort to
control the colored vote In the south |
In November.
The entire ammunition of the Dem
ocratic party is eentered against the
Mckinley bill. Notwithstanding this
TACT, the country still continues to
prosper, and the British people and
Canadians to complain of hard times.
Democratic free-traders are begin
ming to apologize for the report of the
abor commissioner of New York; but
he figures remain the same, and by
heir rigidity calmly state to the Bour-
oons that their apology is not ac-
,epted.
The Democrats are becoming very
much alarmed about the Weaver vote
n this state Their popular cham
,ion, Governor Pennoyer. has joined
ne Weaverites, and will undoubtedly
AIRY very many with him into the
anks of the Peoples party.
The authorities at Washington City
rave pursued commendable course
the twenty days injunction
ga!nst foreign ships landing in this
ountry. Every means should be taken
o keep cholera out of the United
states. This Is self preservation. the
rst law of nature.

The berculean task of the Demo
