- II r. n TOR CULLOM
KEIA RID FROM.
HE EUt.OGIZES PRESIDENT
HARRISON AND PREDICTS
VICTORY FOR HIM AT
lIIE NOVEMBER ELEC-
TTON.
HE SAYS ~cLEvELAND's ADMINIsTRA-
TION>WAS A FAILURE.

Special to the Capital
Washington, ID. C-E,very body
knows the Hon s. nj. Cullom the ab.e
and popular Ex-Governor of Illinois
and at present a United States Senator
from that state.
1he distinguished Illinoisia it will be
remembered was at one time, prior to
the meeting Of the last Republican Ma
tiOnal convention, a candidate for the
presidency, and was in fact, one of Mr..
Harfison's most formidable opponents
for the nomination, but after con-
sultation with his many friends the
Senator decided to withdraw and
leave the field open to the President.
Now no one will doubt for moment
who knows anything about the merits,
ability, influence and popularity of Mr..
CullOm to say the least, that lad he re-
mained candidate, he had chance
to be nominated, and if not succeeding
in getting the nomination himself, it
was in his power to confuse the situa-
tiOn which in all probability might
have prevented President HarrIson's
denomination. But Mr.. CullOm not
only withdrew. but went to arms
length and counseled his friends to
stand by the president, and more fin
ally when the fight waXed hot be pull
ed off his coat and amidst the most des-
perate opposition, and the exploding of
Blaine and Alger booms, he plunged
into the contest leading the presidents
forces at Minneapolis and never for
once deserting the standard of the chief
executive until victory had perched
upon his banner
The president himself is not at all
unmindfm OF, nor insensible to the able
valuable and praiseworthy services
rendered by Mr.. CullOm in his behalf
Since the convention, the Senator has
been busy attending to his senatorial
duties and looking after his great
amount of correspondence and has but
little time to discuss politics.
When / called upon him to-day at
the National Capitol, / found him sub
merged IN his work, but appeared to
be- in good health and excellent spirits,
he talked cheerfully and spoke enthu.
siastically and encouragingly of the
Republican party and predicts victory
for the party this year all along the
line. He is of the opinion that with a
thorough and complete organization of
the party in every state, city, district
and hamlet, hacked BY vigorous and
skillful campaign, the Republicans can
succeed not only in re-electing Presi-
dent Harrison, but also capture the
House Of representatives and begin
the new administration on March 4,
1893 with a Republican majority in
both branches of the National legisla-
ture.
"Don't you think that the leaders Of
respective parties are rather late in OPP
ening the campaign Of '92?n asked the
correspondent.
NO. said the Senator, "while it is
true that little has been done, as yet in
the campaign Of 1872, it is due to the fact
that the candidates for president of the
respective parties have not given to
the public their letters of acceptance

men saved by the same means
which they themselves have adopt
ed to save white young mon, they
prefer not to have them co-mingling

buildings erected for equal footing
with their own members. When
the colored branches become fully

POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.

| The work people of the two little
states of Rhode Island and Connecticut
are said to own more property than the
wage earners of the whole world out
| side the United States. Under demo
cratic free trade this would not have
been SO.
Education for the children, homes for
the working classes, comforts ia the
homes and contentment in the hearts of
those who toll, is possible under repub-
lican administration and protective
policies, and impossible under democ-
racy and free trade.
In America, thanks to republicanism
and protection, labor has dignity, be-
cause it is educated and well paid, has
homes OF its own, has books and music
and art, has good, wholesome food in
abundance, is well clothed and can ex-
press its wishes on the rostrum or at the
polls.
The American policy of protection has
resulted in making the United States
the richest country in the world. 1t has
enabled three and a half million wage
earners to have on deposit in savings
banks billion and half of dollars,
and in building and loan associations
an almost fabulous sum of money
The great body of mechanics and
workingmen will never submit to the
destruction of American industries or
the reduction of wages to level with
those of the pauper labor of Europe, as
would
ascendency of democratic free-t trade
ideas in the management of the affairs
of government
In America honorable labor is hon.
ored. 1t is also protected by system
truly American in its genius and effect.
1t is sure of reward. The prudent,
industrious wage worker does not stand
in fear of the workhouse when health
fails or sickness comes. His only dan
ger arises from the possibility of demo-
cratic success at the polls and the
adoption of free trade in place of the
present admirable protective system.
With little friction and without i'm
posing any hardship upon the masses
the government of the United States
collects the immense revenues neces-
sary to keep it's vast machinery in mo-
tion. Who will say that radical
change in it's methods is necessary? Is
1t not better to encourage stability and
the very fair degree of prosperity now
prevailing than to try experiments
where the ruling element will be from
the least practical and least prosperous
section of the country?
Americans-at least such of them as
believe in the principles of the repub-
lican party-prefer home market to a |
foreign market, and do all they can to
encourage diversified industry. With |
them the first question is: How to |
protect labor, how to build up every |

jury returns the verdict that the above
named persons came to their death
from an explosion of dust and powder
combined. The facts brought out by
the evidence were substantially the same
as published in these columns. The
mine is considerably damaged and it
will take some little time to put things
in shape for regular work again. The
evidence brought out the fact that the
great majority of miners are in a meas

ers, and understand their business from
the scientific and chemical standpointS.
The men who came out of the mine un-
injured were in the mule stables and
say that they saw flash move forward

report of greatest severity and of long
duration. They were uniujured by the

ballot has been a long time on the road,
but it has finally got here, and has CONT
to stay. The first trial of this system
of voting has fully demonstrated the
fact, that the principle is all right: just
and equitable to all parties who are in
favor of an honest and pure ballot.
But like all new systems when put to
a practical test, defects will be found,
and the Australian ballot is not an ex-
ception to this rule.
The first and most glaring defect
brought to light is that double grand
attachment of marking the ballot. The
falacy and injustice of having two or
three different ways of marking bal
lot is clearly shown by the vote in this
city on justice of the peace and con-
stables. The ward judges do not agree
as to how ballots marked in certain
way should be counted, and apparently

reasonable and advisable under the law.
So practically the law is simply unity
where two or more candidates are run
ming for the same Office. Hence, it is
clearly apparant that there should be
but one way, and that way should be
absolute of marking ballot And an
other grave error is that of the foolish
expenditure for printing hundreds up-
on hundreds of ballots in excess of the
real needs of the occasion. 20 per cent
of ballots above that number of voters
is more than abundant, This thing of
making pack mules of Election Boards
TO lug around an enormous amount of
useless ballots for the sake of emergen-
cies should for humanities' sake. be
euFtailed to a reasonable proportion;
also one booth to every 100 voters is a
great plenty. In cities the time for
closing the polls should be made uni
form not leaving to each Board of
Election to determine this matter.
Space forbids the mention of other
points that need attention.
