In full possession and enjoyment of the best

il is common thing to say be Is better
than his party, IL the best OF the victory IS
followed, as his inauguration has been, witn
disturbances and distress, what may we
expect with Congress when IL shall as

Democratic measures has unsettled ousl-
ness, what will actual delivery dol All
that is left for the countsy is TO vote down
its former instructions in every State
where opportunity is presented preceding
the assembling Of Congress Both the
President aud Congress will heed It's latest
voice; they will obey its latest vote.
THE sTAY-AT-HoME REPUBLICANS,
who confident of security in the Astounding
good times Of 1892 believing it was impos-
siOle to reverse the Republican pohcy),
will now realize the necessity OF giving one
day 10 the important interest OF the coGh-
try.
The Democratic party present an anon
alous situation to-day. Divided on SPOTS
and torn up over the distribution OF oinceS'

ated on the money question. lnnarmonlouS
upon every vital issue, divided into admin
istration and anti-admistration factions;
in this condition they are confronted with
the grave ana most serious questions Affect
ing the welfare or the country, its credit,
and honor and the prosperity or the people.
We need ordinarily care nothing Tor their
internal disputes, but when they Interfere
with the enactment OF needed legislation,
il brings TO all Of Us the deepest concern,

should be considered free from personal

least, the party will preserve us record OF
thirty years. Ii will be consistent with
its past. But 1t is TO be regretted that
party charged with such grave and Gel
icate trust should be 40 divided. The
President can be assured that In every
patriotic undertaking TO sustain
THE AMERICAN HONOR ABKOAD,
peace and good order at home, he will have
the hearty cooperation Of the Republicans
of Ohio and the country. Ia every enort
to maintain the high financial credit of the
country, secure sound and stable currency
and maintain the nations faith invlClate,
he will have the warm support Of RepuOh-

present unfortunate situation he must look

never failed in any emergency. ana IL VIII

for the restoration Of confidence and the
return of good times.
Notice mas gone forth that not only is the
tariff TO be revised, but that the pension
list IS 10 be revised War is 10 be urged
upon the pensioners OF the country. No
honest man Will object 70 purgiug this roll
OF all who are unworthy there. Every
case must rest upon Its own facts. DO not
object 10 unworthy men being stricken from
the rOll-if there are suCh-but DO object
TO the impression, which in some quarters
is being made, that this whole business is
a fraud. IL is published in the papers that
an army of pension examiners are TO be

WANTS LOTS OF PENSIONS.
The published ruling of the Secretary Of
the Interior, announced in the press, Will
strike from the pension roll OF the country
hundreds ard thousands OF worthy and de-
pendent soldiers, who, if not altogether in
capaciated are practically incapaciated
from earning living for themselves and
families. IL is 10 the universal indictment
against pensioners that l enter solemn
and emphatic protest No outlay OF the
government is more worthily bestowed or
more widely distributed than the money
which goes TO the soldiers OF the country
In the form Of pensions. IL should be re-
rendered, too, that pensions are better
than standing armies, are less expensive
and more American.
Tue RepuOl, can party believes what it
teaches aud practices what il breaches. IL
was organized and mas succeed because in
all its wears 10 has had convictions. 1t
does not profess one thing aud do another.
IL has courage and stands by its principles
lust as faithfully, just as Loyalty, after de-
feat as after victory. In defeat all dlvl-
sions are hushed, all internal discussions
disappear. Principle and conviction are
supreme and smasterful, and they consti-
NAV have imagined that we would lower
our flag should no longer be deceived. 1t
floats from the old flag staff and is borne
by as true and fearless Republicans as ever
carried IL in the conflicts OF the past. 10 Is
not our habit or our history 10 take down
our cOlOrs. We put them where they are;
we mean 10 keep them there. We love
them, for we believe IN what they stand
for and a hundred defeats would not draw
rs from the field OF conviction aud duty.
Our principles are not ephemeral, but
eternal. They are part and parcel OF the
foundation aud fabric OF our government
They made US what we are-the freeSt and
best government in the world; they will
keep US there il cherished and observed. A
free and impartial bollot without faint OF
fraud or corruption, which is the constltu-
tiOnal ballot, and must be accorded TO every
citizen who lives under the constitution
and has the protection OF the flag.
STICKS TO THE TARIFF IDEA
Next protective tariff American in

graph, which shall defend the homes aud
earnings Of every American la0orer, which
shall secure to him the highest wages and
best opportunities, which shall preserve
our home market, the most profitable in
the world 10 our farmers and manufac-
turers, which shall make every foreign
product free 10 US which we cannot produce
and which shall tariff every foreign pro-
duct which we can produce and the sue

This is the tariff Of Weshin gton, of Jeffer-
son, OF Hamilton. of Lincoln and
Garfield, of Grant, of Blaine, Hayes aud

Amerlcanism, and IL is the tariff that the
Republican party mean to maintain. Then
