mi, now Is the condition of things with

From present indications it Is not improb-
able that the October elections will give the
third party control of the legislative and
executive departments of our state govern
ment. and it should be borne in mind that

the third party thus in control of the gov
eminent we mayexpect some very radical
legislation concerning the professional rs

In view of all this, it is folly, more than that,
it's 7adness, to continue, as most OF the
democratic papers have persisted in doing
hurting inVecive and ridicule at the
third party men and their leaders. Rather
let Us reason with them and endeavor to

After oil. it matters little about the re-
suits Of the October election in this state
or in half dozen southern states, so long
as Harrison does not win. AT most it
would only throw the election of President
into House Of Representatives, which is
overw nelmingly democratic, and thus So
cure the election OF the democratic nomi-
nee, who ought to be Cleveland. The writer
csa see no danger to the success of the
national democratic ticket In this third
party movement. II it succeeds in securing
the electoral vote of one or two western
states, that will be equal, in practical re-
suits, to so many votes for the democratic
nominee. So that, instead Of being adverse.
Il is rather favorable to the success of the
Democratic party in the coming presidential
election. The real danger, as stated above,
IS with reference to our state government.
