The democratic cry that sit is
all done for political effect" when
ever the administration takes a
manly stand against the encroach-
ment of foreign powers seems to
have some truth in it. At least
there have been marked political
effects, so far as the governments
of Italy, Chile, and Great Britain
are concerned, when Uncle Sam
got after them. Such ''political
effects" will do us no harm.

The democrats have held their
convention. Now the political
campaign begins in earnest. The
democrats are not going to sit
around and see their candidates
whipped at the polls next June
without an effort and a struggle.
Not much; they are going to get
in and elect their ticket if they
can. 1t behooves the republicans
to get actually at work and pull
together in harmony On a thorough
ly organized basis frow now on un-
til next June.

The republicans of Rhode Island
fired the first gun of the presiden-
tial campaign at their election
last Wednesday. It was small
gun, but it shoots a very large
ball and made a vigorous kick
against tammany free trade demo-
cracy. If the democrats cannot
carry a manufacturing state with
the promise of free raw material,
where will they be when they
come to the agricultural districts ?
Left, of course.

The Salem Statesman says
For a quarter of a century the
democracy in its platforms has
been tenting on the old republican
camp pgrounds-bringing up the
rear on every great issue, but
never making a new one. And
the outlook now is that it will
have to pitch its tents Oh the
camp ground of American protec-
tion, if it ever gets ON top again.

The republicans have again
nominated Hon. S. W. Condor for
the office of prosecuting attorney
for the second judicial district.
There is little doubt but that he

flee, one that the people of this
district will endorse at the polls
next June.

TIE RHODE ISLAND ELECTION

~ HHO0E ISLH NJ ELECIiON.
Rhode Island, whose election
was carried by the republicans OF
Wednesday, is the only state in
the Union, save Louisiana, whose
election takes place on the 10Th
inst, that chooses its government
in the spring. Oregon holds her
state election for minor officers in
June, Alabama in August, Yer
mont the first Tuesday and Maine
the second Monday in September,
Florida and Georgia hold state
elections in October.
Rhode Island is close state,
since the abolition Of restricted
suffrage has added several thous-
and new voters to the lists, the
majority of whom have been as
',r,t to be of democratic spmpa
thies. Both of Rhode Islands
representatives in the lower house
of congress are democrats, and in
1890 the democrats elected the
governor. In state elections in
Rhode Island, as in New Hamp-
shire and Connecticut, it takes a
majority to elect. The legislature,
which chooses the United States
senators and sometimes the gov
ernor, is chosen, as in Connecticut,
New Hampshire and Vermont,
under the 'stown system," and not
according to population, as in
New York and Massachusetts. In
Vermont, for example, the towns
of st. George and Glastonbury,
with about fifty votes each, have
about the same representation in
the lower house as the city of
Burlington with 5000 votes. This
is a non-republican system, and
under it we not seldom find in
close states, like New Hampshire,
Connecticut and Rhode Island, no
election by the people and the
election of state officers made by
the legislature.
The failure Of the democrats to
carry Rhode Island on Wednes-
day insures the reelection to the
United States senate of Senator
Aldrich. who is the peer of Gov
ernor Mckinley, of Ohio, as an
able and learned expounder of the
republican doctrine of protection.
The democracy have failed to carry
Rhode Island on the tariff issue,
expounded by ex- Governor Camp
bell and Grover Cleveland; they
have failed to defeat for re-elec-
| ton the ablest republican in the
state, save John Sherman; they
have lost all chance of adding the
four electoral votes of Rhode Is
land to the democratic column in
November next.
Rhode Island was good, stamp
ing ground for the democratic tar
if reformers, who desire ''free
wool" and taxed woolen goods,
but the Rhode Island manufac-
turers refused the bribe; they saw
that ultimately ':free wool'' would
be followed as it was in England
by free woolen goods, and they
were smart enough to see that a
protective tariff to endure and
justify itself must be a fair tariff;
the producer of raw material and
the manufacturer were in the
same boat and they must sink or
swim, survive or perish together.
The western wool grower and the
eastern manufacturer are both
cared for by the Mckinley tariff,
which is fair tariff; for the east
ern manufacturer to bite at the
bribe of free wool would be sure
to turn the western wool grower
into a free trader; protected wool
and protected woolen goods must
stand or fall together; free wool is
only the first step to free trade
