uajointed their youthful lungs in the eff
fort to do honor to Uncle Sans flag as
that sacred emblem was hoisted over the

man, the Rev. DR.. Bixby. Adjt. Gen.

TOMORROW VOTE.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE |.

A silly rumor was being circulated this
afternoon To the effect that certain classes
of people would vote for Mr.. Potter,
especially the policemen. The policemen
will vote as they please. Tho-e VINO are
Republicans aud who know what energy
in the mayors office does for the city VIII
undoubtedly vote for Mr.. Watson.
Nobody can dictate to them nor they 10
any city employees as TO whom ne shall
vote for. The policemen say that they
have no especial reason To vote Tor Mr.
Potter and they have known Mr.. watson
|, ny enough 10 understand that he -
ready to do whatever is for their good I 5
we'll as the that of all other citizens
At the latest account the prospects
for Mr. Watson's election were good ana
the business men OF the city are almost
unanimous for him without regard TO
politics. Mayor Potter Will get the
partisan vote of the Democrats
but will lose that of the Con
servative element and while there
i : nos the slightest reason why single
Il publican should fail to vote Tor ME-
Watson there is the best OF reasons way
an progressive citizens without regard TO
poIitics should vote for the Republican

-nc scandals in the pension office be-
gan with the beginning OF the Republic
can administration and have continued
without intermission to this day.
Even Mr.. Harrison could not stand
snch burlesqus as Corporal Tanner
made OF the pension business, and was
forced to turn out his appointee to save
his administration. He made a change
for the worse when he put in Raum. The
shame which this representative Repub-
lican official has brought upon the coun-
try is not easily m assured, says the Bos-
ton Post. There has never been anything
like it before. Rum has placed his
office in the hands OF pension agents to
whom he was under obligations for
money borrowed, has allowed his son to
clerkships, and has degraded the service
in every way.
Yet, after all this has b ,en exposed by
a congressional investigation, the Re-
pu blican President pro- &c this d. yraced
official and retains him in office.

Against M'Kinieyism.

What is the present contention OF the
Democratic party regarding revenue
legis alton?
1t is exactly what it was in 1887 when
Mr.. Cleveland, then president OF the
United States through the votes of
the Democratic party and now again
It's candidate for the presidency, declared
that "Our present tariff laws, the vicious
inequitable, and illogical source OF un-
necessary taxation, should be at once
revised and amended"
That is the position OF Democracy on
this question, delares the Chicago Times.
Repu blicans themselves as long ago as
1882 in the message OF President Arthur
to the congress of the United States
admitted that these laws were at least
tnequitable and demanded a reduction
of tariff taxation, and in 1884 in their
national convention they put it even
stronger, insisting that the inequalities
OF the tariff should be corrected, out they
have gone SO far now that they support
McKinleyism.

Gov. Mckinley has been cracking in
Vermont the same old musty chestnut
about the " free raw material" which
our manufacturers enjoy for all goods
made for export. Wherever the draw
back operates, says the New York World,
the foreigners are given an advantage
over our own consumers in the price Of
domestic goods. But as a matter of fact
the requirement. of proof as to the iden-
tity of imported raw material renders
the drawback practical useless except
to the Standard Oil Company on its tin
cans, and few other favorites of the
Republican party. Gov. Mckinley comes
dangerously near to being dishonest ia
his campaign speeches.

The Force Bill in rhe Campaign.

Disc aim, dodge. temporize and belittle
as they will, the Republican press cannot
shield their party from the ignomy of
having secured nine points out OF ten in
a game whose purpose was to place
southern elections under federal control.
The issue will be forced upon the Rspub-
lican party. It's record on this point is
made up and certified by the vote OF the
last Republican House of Representatives,
by President Harrison's recommendations
in three messages and by the almost
unanimous Endorsement OF the measure
by the Republican press. When the test
vote on the force bill was taken in the
Senate in January, 1891, says the Roches
ter Herald, every Repu blican leader voted
in its favor. Not a single Repu blican
senator from the eastern states voted no.
Eight Repu blicans from the far West,
who cared more about free silver than
about the conspiracy to subjugate the
South, helped the Democratic senators
to postpone the bill.

Nepotism as we'll as spoils mongering
distinguished the Republican admin s.
tration as soon as HARRISON got warm in
his seat.
There never was such a disgraceful ex-
hibition of the use of the presidential
office for family profit as that which this
administration has made, says the Boston
Post. From his own brother, whom he
made United States marshal in Tennessee
at salary OF $4,000 to his father in laws
niece's husband, whom he made a post
office clerk at $1,000, there was hardly a
member OF the Harrison, Mckee and
Scott families whom this Repu blican
President did not compel the public to
support. The Harrison bread and butter
brigade drew about $4,000 a year from
the United States treasury, in addition to
the salary OF the President himself.
The American people never before saw
such humiliating spectacle as that
which this Republican adm nistration
offered.
The World. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1891-1896, 1892-09-30
Keep This Well in Mind.

Even should Mr.. Harrison in his letter
of acceptance essay to dodge the force
bill-and we have no idea that he will,
says the Richmond Dispatch, our speak :
ers should not let the people forget for
one moment that he inspired the inioui-
ty; that he is pledged to a force bill in
his inaugural address and in his annual
message to Congress; that he is disciple
OF the most vindictive school OF south
haters, and that should he be reelected
and the measure be passed he would en-
force it to the utmost limit OF his power.
This is the safe course, and by adopting
it the Democracy can make the force bill
prove a veritable shirt Of Nessus to the
Republican party,
