fire Alarm Foraker fell outside al
the breastworss. He finds plenty Of
republican company there. Sioux City
Tribune.
The alarm experienced by Quay
and Dudley over the discovering of "a
democratic conspiracy to steal New
York. is somewhat touching, but per-
fectly natural The prospect of steal
without having a hand in it is enough
to discomfort Quay and his friend
Kansas City Star.
The crushing defeat of ex. Gov.
Foraker is a fitting rebulze to pesti-
lent politician whose noisy clatter
was accepted by enemies of the repub-
licans as an assurance of strength
where there was nothing but the as
sumptions of the .demagogue and the
wire-puller. -Philadelphia Press.
Poor Blaine no soon er gets rid Of
his undigested breakfast than the pres
ident gets hold Of his undigested
papers. Between one thing and
another this greatest living statesman
Of the republican party seems to be
the most uncomfortable man living in
or out of any party. st Louis Repub-
lie.
AN honest ballot Ii the safe
guard Of our institutions No public
service can be more patriotic than that
which seeks to establish it. Any
measure properly drawn and not in
conflict with the constitution, which
will so bulwark the present law as to
make intimidation and bribery impos-
sible. will receive my hearty APP
prevail Gov. Flowers Message.
We hope Mr. Blaine will live
many years, but the best judgment is
the excitement of a national campaign
would be deadly perilous to one of his
eager nature, His failure to make a
long promised speech at Boston, fol-
lowed by this sudden illness, may give
new turn to republican presidential
speculation and intrigue. Mr. Harri.
son will be very hard dose to swal-
low. But failing Mr.. Blaine. who
else?-Pittsburgh Post.
The apprehensions of the re-
publican organs that the democrats
may gerrymander New York are born
of guilty conscience. For many years
New York has been saddled with one
of the most outrageous gerrymanders
ever made. which has be en- maintained
since 1885 by plain violation of the
constitution. This was a repu blicaE
gerrymander, and no republican organ
has ever even mildly reproved it Inc
New York democrats may or may not
take notion to give the republicans OF
that state "a dose of their own medi-
cine" but il they do no republican
organ will have right to complain. =
Indianapolis Sentinel.
A heated Sherman organ speaks
of Foraker as cheap and nasty de.
magogue, making no pretense tc
craftsmanship and no claim to decency,
knowing nothing and caring less foi
finance beyond the ''oiling" of roust-
about campaign, confessed liar and
forger, a foui-tongued slanderer of his
betters in his own and other parties, q
restless upstart who darcs aspire to the
highest Offices in ths land, man sc
disreputable that even Mr.. Blaine
shuns all manner of contact with him
in his campaign. How significant that
word ''even" makes the closing sem
tence. 1t simply means that bad in.
decd is the politician whom Mr..
Blaine will shun. Yet Foraker has
said: II am republican from the TOP
of my head to the soles of my feet,
and all have silently admitted that hs
is. Detroit Free Press
