ELECTORAL TICKET,
FOR CONGRESS,
WILLIAM M. McKAIG,
GEN. STEVENSON SOUNDS TIE
BUGLE NOTE

GEN. S1EFENSON SOUNDS IHE
BUGLE NOTE.
Gen. Adlai Il. Stevenson, the Democratic
candidate for Vice. President, sounded the
bugle note of the national campaign, at his
home, in Bloomington, last week, which
has already been caught by every ear, and
which has gaddened every Democratic
heart and warmed every Democratic hearth
stone throughout the land
1t is none too extravagant TO say that the
speech is an able one and meets the require
ments Of the campaign. IL is strong and
admirable presentation Of the issues upon
which the two parties are contesting for the
confidence and support Of the people.
1t is strong because of its absolute sim
plicity from beginning to end-because it
defines and explains precisely the great
issues and does not confuse them with mat
tiers that are non impertant-bccause it is
temperate and reasonable without sem
blance of passion or prejudice-and last,
but not least, it is Democratic in its breadth,
courage, moderation, truth, fulness and sim.
plicity.
There are three great issues joined in the
cause which party advocates have to place
before the people and argue in an intelligent
and dispassionate manner They are:
First, the comparative quality Of actual
Democratic and Republican conduct in leg
ialation aud administration.
Second, the question of the tariff
whether IL shall be made TO serve and be
or be made TO serve and be limited only by
the greed of favored classes.
Third, the question OF home rule as dis
tinguished from interfering national control
of the elections in the several States.
OF these issues the tariff is the most i'm
mediate and dominating, and TO this Gen.
Stevenson, with sound judgment, devotes
the most attention-placing the whole ques
ton so fully, fair and plain before his audi
ence and before the entire people that no
one who wants to understand the relative
status which the two great parties occupy
as to this great question can fail to do so.
Gen. Stevensons remarks on Mr.. Cleye
lands demonstrated capacity, honesty, pa.
triotism and justice as the incumbent of the
highest office, and on the arrogant defiance
oil popular rights by the Republican party
AMI the gross extravaganza by which the
national treasury has been depleted under
Republican rule, are strong and just. They
present the truth of facts in a picture
where every citizen who looks at It will
perceive the meaning.
His discussion of the Force bill is brief,
plain and to the point. He does not under
rate Its Importance, but he rightly judges
that II is measure so repugnant that it is
scarcely necessary TO dwell on its Ubiquitous
character. 1t is thing condemned already
in the judgment of enlightened men in both
parties.
AS we have already said, the main argu
ment of his speech Is given the tariff ques
ton. His treatment of this great issue be
tween the two great parties is logical and
luminous He grasps the situation-goes
10 the very core of the question when he
says: "The Democratic party, as empha.
