Whitelaw Reid's Efforts to ConciIiate
Anti-Harrison Workers.
Since Whitelaw Reid has hired head
quarters at the Fifth Avenue hotel.
where he can be near Thomas C. Platt's
headquarters, there has been no end of
speculation as to why the republican
vice presidential candidate has prac-
tically deserted Ophir farm and taken
off his coat and gone accompanying as
though the entire responsibility rested
upon his shoulders.
Doesn't he trust T. c. Platte"
rs he going to run the campaign
all by himself?''
These are some of the questions that
are being asked.
The spectacle of a vice presidential
candidate in almost daily contact with
the machine. in daily conference with
the machine leaders, and occupying
special headquarters within almost
speaking distance of the machine s
headquarters is sufficient of novelty
to attract widespread concern. That
there is something behind the peculiar
action of the tail of the republican
ticket that makes him desert the cool

That something is Thomas C. Plat
1t may not be that the sage of Ophir
and the friend of union labor (of the
vintage of June, 1S92)thinks uneasily of

certain that Mr.. Reid does not like the
attitude of Platt, Miller and Company
toward the president.

Big Sister thought a moment.

''f you can do three things you can
drive him away. l will tell you the
| first one. The fairies were here last
night; they had a dance; and OIL took
off their bonnets. They danced and
danced, until the moon had climbed 70
the very middle of the sky. Then. sud
denly, they found it was time to go
home, and they hurried SO that some OF
them forgot their bonnets. Your first
task is to find thirty of these fairy bon
| nets"
Maisie looked puzzled. 'sRut how
can 1 find them? never saw any,
Big Sister glanced toward the garden.
''They are purple, and each one has
long green ribbon; and you must be
! sure to have the ribbon just as long as
possible, and"
''Oh, know, 1 known cried Maisie,
clapping her hands; and dancing down
to the garden (where the little pink
dress fiuttered about like very lively
rose) she soon came back with hand
full of purple violets.
''Good!" said Big Sister. ''Your enc
my has gone farther off, and looks quite
cross. I think we shall conquer him.
Your next task is harder. You must
make journey to certain cave, called
Kitchen. There you will find an old
witch-at least, you might think her
one; but if you speak very pleasantly
she will give you anything you want.
Tell her you want a basket and a knife.
She will let you choose your knife. but
you must pass by all the silver ones,
and those with white handles, and
take an old sharp one. That is al
ways the way, you know. Then go to
Front Lawn Land, and there you will
find some golden stars; and these stars
are fastened to the ground. Dig them
up with the knife, put them in the
basket, and bring them here"
Maisie was gone longer this time, but
by-and-by she came back with her
basket half full of dandelions. Big Sis
ter smiled. 1t was funny kind of
smile, but Maisie didn't notice it; she
was thinking too much of the story.

nestly.

''Oh-h-h.'' said MaSie; II forgot

Big Sister smiled. HE is quite gone
now, and the afternoon is gone, too,
and we must get dressed for dinner"

The Ubiquitous Tariff tho Cause of Labor
In 1883 the republicans were able to
concentrate their forces in New York
and Indiana and leave the other states
to take care of themselves.
New York and Indiana are still es-
sential, but besides they will have to
fight vigorously to hold their own in
Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Mich
igan, Massachusetts,, Rhode Island and
New Hampshire.
These facts. taken in connection with
recent political occurrences, put new
spirit into the democratic party all over
the country and give more than rea-
sonable assurance of success.
Four years ago the country was not
ready for the tariff issue. Thousands
hesitated, and the republicans insisted
that it was wise to LET well enough

Given power they reconstructed the
tariff on a new basis; increased the tax
es of the poor and the bounties of the
rich, plundered the farmer. paid bonus
