have been the direct result of orders
from the Democratic National head
quarters, to break up the third party
movement in the South by fair
means or by foul means. There are
excellent reasons for believing that
the fight upon the third party in
the South is TO be as relentlessly
waged as was the fight which
practically drove the Republican
party out of existencs in number
Of those states. Still the rest Of
the country is asked to believe that
citizens residing in the Southern
States are living under Republi-
can form Of government, having
the right of free speech aud free
ballot. Yes; they are, out it Is
much the same sort Of Republican
Government as that under which
Aeyicans live. Speech is free pro-
vided you talk Democratic, and the
ballot is free only when it contains
the Democratic nominees.
All the news received at the
headquarters of the Republican
Congressional Campaign Committee
is encouraging, and, notwithstand-
ing the enormous Democratic ma
jority in the House, which every
body knows was obtained by
concerted misrepresentation of the
Mckinley tariff law, there are good
prospects of electing majority of
Republicans to the next House The
workings of the Mckinley law, as
shown by reports prepared IN
numerous states by Democratic as
well as Republican officials, are
proving to be the most convincing
sort of argu ments, and Republican
speakers who took part in the
campaign of 1890 are proudly re
calling 10 their hearers the prophe-
cies made them as to how the law
would work. The wildcat money
plank in the Chicago platform is
also reported to be doing good
service for the Republicans.

Festive Time.

What a festive time our Demo
cratic friends did have in the state
elections two years ago, whooping
mp the country on Mckinley prices
before the law had gone into force
and holding up to public gaze their
ven cradle old farm mortgage spook.
Evidences of the Mckinley price
humbug lay around so loosely and
thickly that to continue that line Of
deceiving voters would insult their
intelligence and the census of 1890
has disposed of the farm mortgage
ghost. The following from the pen
of a Democratic woman, in reply to
la dying kick of the New York
Herald relative to Mckinley prices
is good reading:
Now, don't this fool Democrat
who edits The Herald know, or
can't his wife tell him, that every
thing woman wears costs less than
it did before the Mckinley bill
passed? Calico is four and half
cents per yard; a good summer silk
costs from twenty-five to thirty-fye
cents a yard. II used to cost one
dollar. Black silk can be bought
for from sixty cents to one dollar
that used TO cost from two dollars
to three dollars and a half. Sugar
coste five cents that used to cost
eight cents. Ribbons are half the
old price, stockings the same, and
jerseys, since they are making them
in this country, cost half as much
as the imported. Ladies' things are
down. We ladies know that Demo-
cratic husbands can lie to each
other, but they can't lie TO us. We
women are not fools. Let The Her
aid liar stick to mems things when
he lies and not try to lie about
women's things. We won't stand
it. Pm a Democratic woman, but l
don't want any lying to keep the
party up. We women are not fools

Tammany not only the local offices

Hyacinths, easter lilies and GRO

An tulips, lilies, hyaeintbs, crocuses

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.

The President has every right to
feel proud of the news brought
from Indiana 10y Hon. K. B. f.
Pierce, chairman Of the Republican
executive committee of that state,
who stopped in Washington on hi-
way to New York, where he had
been called by business. "rhe

and the State will 60 Republican
beyond doubt There are a re-
markabIe number Of changes Of
lifelong Democrats to the Repubil-
can side. Cases are reported daily,
among farmers as well as mechanics
and business men, and / now recall
seven counties in which marked
changes have taken place Within
the last week ten voters in one
family, in one Of the southern coun
ties, came over, because of tho free
trade plank in the Democratic plat
orm. The other day q Democrat who
is a prominent wholesale merchant
of ,dianapolis told me that he in
tenua6 to vote for Harrison, because
he considered the changes which
would necessarily result in the
business world from the election of
Cleveland and a Democratic Con
gress dangerous; and besides, he
was so well satisfied with the able,
digni6ed and conservative admins
tration of President Harrison that
he was anxious for it to continue
four years longer"
The Democrats are getting
alarmed over the news of new
"kick" by Tammany, which comes
from New Yord, and some of them
acknowledge that it is useless for
! Cleveland to expect to carry that
| State; if Tammany's demands are
satisfied the mugwumps aud anti
snappers will become 'Pkickers."
Mr.. Cleveland's letter of accept
ance has injured instead of helping
him, as it has destroyed the belief
of the people in hispolitical straight
forwarduess and honesty and shown
him in his true colors as a webbing
politician who tries to write on both
sides of every question without
definitely committing himself to
anything. For instance, while agree
ing with the Chicago platform that
the protective tariff shall be abolish.
ed he assures the people that the
Democratic party does not propose
to iniure the business interests Of
any American citizen. Even a
| democrat must be able to see the
con tradjction in this. He squarely
lodges the issue Of wildcat cur
reucy, made by the plank of the
Chicago platform favoring repeal
of the ten per cent. national tax on
the circulation Of State banks, and
SO ably met by the President in his
letter of acceptance and by Mr..
! Blaine in his letter to the Maine
Republicans.
Democrats here have taken the
cue from Mr.. Cleyelaud's labored
attempt to save New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut, the voters
of which states are go deeply and
personally interested in the main
tenance Of a protective tariff, by
writing around the tariff plank of
| the Chicago platform, and they are
no longer even claiming to believe
/ that they will carry any Of the
northwestern states. They are also
very much afraid that the third
party will break in the solid south,
aud the shameful treatment Of
Weaver in Georgia is believed to

The Mckinley bill increased the tariff
