abaseMent andI perjury. The issue
made by the Republican party
in the campaign - OF 1888
was simple and distinct. 1t turned to
to the protected interests" of the coun-
try and the pension agents, saying to
the first: ''If you elect our candidate
to the presidency and return US to pow
er, you can come TO Washington and de-
mand such an increase Of your protec-
tive duties as you snail see MT; and we
will see that it is given to you" 1t
then turned to the army OF claim agents
in and about the pension Office, saying
to them: eff you will elect our candi-
date and cause the administration OF the
country to return into our hands, we
will allow you the free plumber of the
treasury. President Cleveland, as you
see, bars the way to It," Harrison was
elected by a narrow vote and the party
was as good as its word. The protected
interests swarmed TO Washington and
In due time the Mckinley tariff bill
was passed. In it the demands
of every producer, so far as it appears,
who wished to fatten at the expense Of
the consumer, were gratited. The
horde of claim agents babe fair to empty
the Treasury, which President Cleve-
land had left full. The Treasury was
looted.
Which ever way the election goes the
United States will prosper. | see in Mr..
Cleveland man true and tried, polit-
ical leader far in advance of his party,
public character with the courage OF his
convictions. Opposed to Mr.. Cleveland
we see a partisan candidate or pollt-
ical party, the recent record OF whlch
does not serye to fill US with adnira
ton. Our pride and patriotism is not
stirred by it's disgraceful CHILEAN tiasco.
Finally, if the published utterances OF
ex-President Cleveland upon all leading
issues of the day constitute what is now
Democratic, then 1, and those who feel
as do, must for the time being submit
to be accounted Democrats.

THE LADIES, GOO BLESS THEM.

We have TON" REED as authority
that "the women did it" in 1890, and it
looks very much as if the women would
at least greatly aid in doing it again in
1892. In New York Tuesday the first
Democratic women's campaign club was
organized. 1t calls itself the Francis
Cleveland Influence Club No. l. Its
name was selected in the following
manner: Mrs. MARY Frost ORMsBY,
the principal speaker, afterward select
ed President, wound up her address as
follows:
81 went out shopping one day after the
country had been McKinleyized and found
prices almost doubled in some instances.
That fall induced five of my Republican
friends TO vote the Democratic ticket Tor
the first time in their lives, and say that
every Democratic woman in the land can
do the same. NV sisters, we have no vote,
utthank God we have influence.
The report of the meeting continues:
This sentiment drew out great burst of
applause. in the midst Of which Mrs. Orms-
by resumed her seat.
"Let US call it an influence club" said a
sweet-faced woman in black.
Eyes, that's it, said half dozen women
at once, catching the cue from the closing
sentiment of Mrs. Ormsby's speech.
Niue. Clara LAMA daughter of DR..
VIM. H. Hammond, followed Mrs Ormsby
in a strong plea for the assertion of
wOman's influence in this campaign This
is primarily a fight for the home she said,
'and woman ought to make her voice
heard. IN all our campaigns from Wash
ingtOn down women cut no figure till the
home was made the direct point Of attack,
as in 1890, and then the country saw our
power. II we were able TO do so mnch in
1899, uuOrganized and unnoticed, what may
we not do if we get together, as the men
Democrats say. / move that the name of
this club be the Frances Cleveland Iniu-
ence Club No. l."
1t is an initial movement that is eX-
pected to result in the formation of
similar organizations all over the coun-
try. 1t is a spontaneous uprising OF
those who best know about the cost of
living and keeping up the home, and
have the keenest and most practical APP
probation and perception of changes in
the prices of the necessaries of life.
Against their testimony columns OF de-
NAL that the cost of living is greater
since the passage OF the Mckinley in
iQuity will avail naught.
With the ladies' against it the 6, o. p.
is doomed.

makes a great point when in his letter to

not alarming when read in the light of

Jerry Arrives at Topeka and An

TOPEKA, KAN, Dec. 90. Congressman
Jerry Simpson arrived here yesterday in
time for his Christmas dinner, but his ar.
rival was not generally known until to-day.
This morning be put all doubts at rest con-
corning his candidacy for the United States
Senate by announcing that he was a candi-
date. He said, however that his presence
was due more TO a desire TO help the
populists in their endeavor 10 organize the
House than In his own interest. The organ
ization OF the House. he further said, de-
pended upon the supreme court, before
which the House contest cases had been
filed. OF course the court could not
finally settle the contest. But
what the court could do. was
to prevent a man from working a wrong,
which was all the populists wanted.
Confidence grows In republican circles
that the supreme court will not interfere Ia
any Of the cases. They have employed at
torneys to appear in behalf Of the state aud
county boards of canvassers, but they are
not expected to make very great effort
Prominent republicans intimatei as much
this morning. and also said that as none of
the contested cases were based upon the
charge OF fraud, the court would take no
action in the matter. The charge Of fraud
was the only one the court could recognized
as Just basis for action.
