CONTEMPORARY COMMENT.

The republicans have whipped
out their burglars tools and are hard
at work on several western legisla-
lures. but in the end they will have
had their trouble for their pains.-N.

just one little suggestion is to be
offered the republican press. The sys-
tenn of republican protection has been
declared fraud. Those who have
been caught supporting that fraud need
have no anxiety as to the democrat
ic policy. Democrats will manage the
national affairs for a time. They are
responsible to the people and t.emo-

Now there is a president truly
not sectional but national. Nearly half
his vote comes from the northern Sec
ton of the country. To have the ''solid
west broken, as we said Wednesday,
is a notab BILE thing. 1t is an suspicious
thing. 1t augurs well for the future.
The solid south cannot claim a part
nership with the democratic denomina-
ton furnished by New York and Indi-
ana for the exclusive possession OF the
president There is no one state in the
electoral column that makes Mr.. Cleve-
