two positioDsi IL wants Cleveland, but
will have nothing TO do with those who
support him. 1t hates McKinleyism, but
argues IN favor OF the reelection of the
principal architect of that moustrous
travesty Of q sound economic principle.
Il oppose: free coinage. but advises 3
defeat Of those who are most strenuous In
denouucing IL. It believes In economical

1t is true, esteemed contemporary, that

| right than inconsistent and always
wrong. The Journal is right this time.
The Providence Journal Is at least con-

except during election week, when 1t is
out and out Republican.-Newport News
More "sarkazzum." Can't you let the

hard to find its bearings?
We ara glad that Mr.. wardwell has 70
fused to be placed in the attitude OF even
seeming to seek the Prohibition nominar

All the Democratic orators who went

Judge Wilbur's speech in Masonic Hall.
on Wednesday evening, was laughable
throughout, because Of the speakers wit
and humorous way of stating things, but
the most amusing feature of IL was that
with all his Noe frenzy he didn't really
