OPINIONS AND POINTERS.

SNN'5 - 'A'''
the crinoline movement.-St. Louis Re-
public.
The republican party was repudi.
ated for cause, and must remain in re.
tirement until it gets on the side of the
people. Detroit Free Press,
The less Clarksonism there is In
the republican party for the next three
or four years, the better it will be for
the party.-St. Louis Globe Democrat
(Rep.)
1t is amusing to note how repub-
llcan papers are patting P%ennoyer on
the back for his recent insult to Presi-
dent Cleveland. When this pig-headed
governor insulted President Harrison
the republican papers whistled another
tune.-St- Paul Globe.
- The Boston Transcript rep
would like to know whether Chairman
Clarllson intended to exclude altogether
the republicanism of President Harri-
son when he said: "We meet here to-
day ! n the name of the republicanism of
a ALlllIoih, ~. -. .NIIdllU dUt
James G. Blaine"
There seems to be a good deal OF
doubt about J. s. Clarkson being the
man who Is to rehabilitate the repub-
lican party. That curious organization
began It's descent of the toboggan slide
at about the time that the aforesaid
Clarkson left Iowa to set up in bust
ness as its general manager.-Chicago
Herald.
After ex-President Harrison had
frightened the "old campaigners" into
a forced march toward Louisville, he
announced with "A knowing grin that
he would remain at home. He will
leave the ambitious warriors to grind
their own axes while pretending to
work out the salvation Of the &. o. p.
He has got the other fellows into Il free
fight, while he can pose as the statesman
who thought too much of his party to
enter into any such unseemly scramble,
Your Uncle Benjamin has lost none OF
his sleekness.-N. Y. World.
The platform adopted by the re.
publican league convention is some.
thing of a blanket affair. 1t declares
faith and points with PRIDE" as us.
ual, but 1t does not furnish much new
food for thought. The only features
that are worth mentioning are the rec.
concentrations in favor of annexing
Hawaii, the passage of the antioptiop
bill and a constitutional amendment
making q president ineligible for a sec.
ond successive term. This last is not a
bad recommendation, and if it included
a six-year term o oflcc it would be even
better. -Louisville Post.
1t really appears that the repub,
lican journals have forgotten that there
was an election last November, which
gave to the democratic party control OF
the government. This party is antag.
onistic to the late administration on
every great issue. 1t will as speedily
as possible, not conserve" but destroy
the fabric, foreign and domestic, con.
structed with SO much labor by the
Harrison administration. 1t is war,
not peace, which the democratic party
offers the republican party. and don't
you forgetit."--Loulsville Courier-Jour>
nal.
"A republican journal of some I'm,
portance, commenting on the recent
furry in Wall street, remarks: Every.
body has had six months warning that
the democratic (fnancial) policy, when.
ever made known, might cause trouble"
Yet it was just six months ago, when
this warning is said to have been given,
that the people Of the United States put
the democratic party in power in con.
gress and in the presidency by a major.
ity SO large that 1t almost seemed that
Everybody" disregarded the warn.
