THE RULE FOR PENSIONS.

Chairman Harrity received a letter
today signed by "a army and navy vet
Grams of Brooklyn, enclosing check
for $50, which, they said, was their
response TO the request of the National
Committee for "BineWs of war" In ad-
dition, the veterans assured Mr.. Harrity
that they would support the Demo-
cratic ticket and vote for the Demo-
cratic candidates.
The above is a dispatch from Re-
publican to that high tariff organ, the
Plttsburg Dispatch. What does it
mean? Itmeans that the real veterans
the men who served through the war,
are largely for Cleveland. They are
for Cleveland because they believe the
Pension roll should be roll of honor.
On the other hand, a large number of
short service soldiers are for Harrison
because Harrison has signed a pension
bill which gives 100days men, and men
who have been disabled since the war,
more pensions than those who
were shot and disabled in battle. We
have men in Stark county drawing pen
sions OF S16 a month, who never were
at the front, and who never saw rebel
flag, as an armed rebel, while we have

MCKINLEY AND MORGAN.

1t Is quietly hinted among the select
band of Mckinley worshippers, here
and hereabouts, that It is not Of much
moment whether Labor Crusher Nor
gan is voted mp or voted down, IN the
early November.
The Majors close friends view the
situation and future about like this.
If the country goes for Grover Cleve-
land and tariff reform, and the monopoly
tariff is showed under, Mckinley will
be made the scape goat for the sins of
the party, and he can never again be
Governor of Ohio. 1t is said that he
don't care to be, even if his party is sue
cessful. The details and petty annoy
ances of the Governors Office are not
congenial to the Major, and he does not
like TO live in the cramped sky parlor
of Columbus hotel. The Major would
prefer to return to Congress than be
reelected Governor. In other words
he considers the Washington field a
much larger and more fruitful one for
Continental statesman than the mar
row detail duties of pardoning his Re-
publican friends out of the penltentiary
shaking hands with whiskey breathed
Republican clubs and signing com
missions for justices of the peace ano
notaries public.
Now If Morgan should be elected, ht
will of course get the big head and wan
a second term. While If Morgan is de-
feated, the way is clear for the Major
to again culminate in Congress in 1894
Hence the Major, while entirely loyal tt
Morgan as a man and brother, is pro
foundly of the opinion that Morgan II
much better adapted to run non
union hammer shop in Alliance, thar
trying to enlarge his limited intellect
by contact with the highly diplomatic
demagogues who infest our great Ma,
tional Bear Garden.
All the signs of the times point tt
the election of Cleveland; and thi'
means Waterloo for the robber tariff
and st. Helena for the tin Goo Of
Protection In Ohio. But in a district
two thousand Republican, where politics
are venal, and the voters have been de-
bauched with contact of over l6 year:
of Doodle politics the Major coulc
probably secure a return to the House
The drift of public opinion is now sc
evident to the Democratic party, that
the Major and bis friends see little IN
his future but a return to Congress
But if Harrison should be elected ther
the Major would be on the straight and
narrow way to glory, and Morgan could
do him no harm in Congress.
Unless the current of political thought
changes during the next ten days, and
there is no indication of that, the coll
fdential friends of Mckinley will allow
the Labor Crusher to paddle his owr
boat.

ROBERT MoADAM, and old-time Re-
publican of Rome, N. Y, has come out
openly for Grover Cleveland and less
tariff robbery. Mr.. McAdam is the
most promising cheese dealer in that
vicinity, and is familiar with the farm
era and their wants. He is really a
Farmers Alliance man, but he says he
viii not waste his vote for that party,
and will vote for Cleveland so as to put
it where some good may come of it, He
is an ardent tariff reformer, aud saws
there are hundreds of Republican farm
ers in central New York who are not
going to vote for Harrison.

HOW FARMERS ARE PROJECTED.

From the Salem Herald.
On Saturday, Oct, 9th, cash wheat
sold in the Chicago market at "a s
cents. -Four years ago on thatday cash
wheat sold in the Chicago market at
$11s. 1-2. In 1876 William Osborn
purchased ten acres of land within less
than one mile of the manufacturing
center of Warren, paying $4,000 for it.
Within the past sixty days that same
farm, less lot 190x60 feet, was sold for
SO $50, a depreciation in 16 years of Al
1-4'per cent. This is the way the farm
ers are protected under the high tariff
reform, and this is the way they are
able to keep pace with the gobbling up
of the wealth uf this country by the
monopolist manufacturers.

IT is noticeable that while the Demo-
cratic party is galvanizing political
corpses into fioppers, the Republican
workers, Quay, Platt, Clarkson and the
rest, go on with their work for the Re-
publican party, and announce that they
are going to elect Harrison. So Wayne
MacVeagh and Cox may flop, If they
like, IL will make no difference in the
result.-Cincinnat Times.Star,
And has it come to this. Has the
Republican party no respect for It's OLD
time leaders; its men of high moral
character, exalted patriotism and un-
sullied record, like Gen. Jacob Dolson
Cox, Gen. Walter Q. Gresham, Wayne
MacVeagh and Judge Cooley of the
great Ann Arbor University. Have
the venal organs of the Dud-
leys, Dave Martins, Steve Elkins' and
the Piakertops nothing to give the
masses but vile abuse of the best men
in the country, and no hope for success
save vote buying, by agents, whose past
record entities them to look only
through the iron gates of penitentaries.
Ia it possible that leading Republi-
can organ in Ohio has the shameless
aflrontery to set up Quay, Piatt and
Clarkson as models, and dares to de-
nounce men like ex Gov. Cox, and four
other ex- Cabinet officers of Republican
Presidents, as galvanized political
corpses. 1t is even so; and decent men
of all parties ought to see that party
that can offer no better excuse than
this for its life has reached period
when it ought to die.

Butterworth made this statement in

THE Crisis asserts without fear of
successful contradiction that the pres
ence of Thomas r. Morgan in Congress
would be burning disgrace to the peo.
pie of the Eighteenth district, and the
entire State of Ohio. His combined
ignorance and boundless self conceit
would establish for him a reputation
which would reflect with embarrassing
force upon his constituents.-East Liv-
erpOol Crisis.

is PRESIDENT HARRISON A BoODLER
AND PERSONALLY CORRUPT.

A Democratic mass meeting which
was attended by 5000 persons was held
in Newark, N. j., Monday night. Gov.
Albeit and host of prominent state
politicians were on the platform. At
torney General Hensel of Pennsylvania
delivered a rousing anti-tariff speech.
Toward the close of his remarks he as
serted that four years ago Benjamin
Harrison personally superintended the
purchase of 10000 votes in Indiana.
He said he would be glad 10 have an
Indictment laid against him in New
Jersey for making the statement, so
that he might have an opportunity to
prove 1t. This is a terrible charge to
lodge against the Chief Magistrate Of
sixty five millions of Americans. And
yet it is made by man of high charac.
ter. No such charge was ever made
against any other President. And is it
true? We believe it is. 1t is believed
in Indiana by the best men in the Re-
publican party, including Judge
Gresham.
