MUGwUMP MACVEAGH.

Mr.. Cleveland evidently has faith in the
policy of personal appointments. The per-
sistence with which he follows that policy
was TO have been expected of man who
does not bulge easily when once settled in
a convicton.-Chicago Record QndO
Some people would hardly want an office
which Van Allen, the anglomaniac, declined.
but Wayne MacVeagh will probably take
the Italian mission and be thankful When
n mugwump gets an itch for public life he
gets it in the worst form-Cleveland Lead
er (Rep.)
Wayne MacVeagh was Attorney general in
President Garheld's Cabinet. He is also
brother-in-law of Senator Don Cameron.
And of late he has been a terrific admirer
of President Cleveland. His appointment as
ambassador 10 Italy seems. therefore, pc
culiarly appropriate. He can ably represent
all sides CT this curious country.-Cincinnau

one more illustration OF his characteristic
indifference to the press and the sentiment

THE WILSON REPORT.

The policy of high protection for every
purely Southern product that be pro-
tected and severe reductions for the great
industries of the North, is species of tariff
tion.-Pittsburg Dispatch Rep.)
The bill is a fairly good expression of the
tariff plank in the Democratic platform,
and should be passed at an early day as a
measure which has been approved in
ticipatory way by the voters of the country
in the election of Mr.. Cleveland and DEM
ocratic CongreSS.-Chicago Record Qnd)
The entire report is an ill-disguised at
tack upon the protection policy. 1t is aimed
TO cripple American industry. The Repub-
licans in the House and Senate should meet
1t with a united and determined opposition
and fight as obstinately as the armies of
the Union fought the forces of rebellion.
Cleveland Leader Rep)
Apologizing for the incompleteness of their
assault on protection they promise more
effective attack next time In other words,
the Wilson bill is only a beginning. The
conclusion is stark naked free trade. That
is the meaning of continuous Democratic as
cendancy; that is what we are coming to if
the American people do not reverse their
mandate '-Detroit Tribune Rep)
1t is bill for a protective tariff. That,
the report admits. 1t may serve be-
ginning of the advance toward commercial
freedom. though it would be surer begin
ming if it were much more radical. But it
should be presented a bill for less protec-
ton, not for the abandonment of tho bad
system, and ii is not strengthened by a re-
port with a free trade introduction.-Chi
go Herald Dem.)
They wish it to be understood that if the
next Congress is Democratic duties will be
cut a little more and farther step taken
toward free trade. If a Democratic Presi-
dent and Congress are elected in 1896 an
other step will be taken. AS each of those
steps will be accomplished by another trim
ming of wages, the workingmen ought to
see the impolicy or keeping the Democratic
party in power during the rest of the CEN
fury If they do, wages will be clear down
to the European basis.-Chicago Tribune

Mr.. Cleveland carried Illinois by 1898 This
plurality is more than wiped out by the
present Republican gain over the presi-
Dental election. The election of Tuesday
was a special one to fill out the unexpired
term for Mayor, yet in this election the Re
publicans cast 10000 more votes than they
did for their presidential candidate last
year, and the Democrats have cast 25.0OO
less. IL Chicago had voted one year ago as
it did on Tuesday. Harrison would have
carried Illinois. The figures show, beyond
question, that thousands of men who voted
lief that Democratic victory would bring
better times, have discovered their mistake
and are now trying to atone for their folly
by voting the other way.
This election emphasizes the result OF the
State elections in November and shows
that the tide of popular feeling is still
running strongly against the Democratic
party. Unless it changes. OF which there
are no present indications, the Democracy
will be Overwhelmingly defeated in the
elections of 1894

CHICAGo's MUNICIPAL ELECTION.

The result of the Chicago municipal cleo

Grated to give the Republicans such large
majorities in the recent State elections are
still at work. In the last presidential cleo
ton, little more than a year ago. the
Democrats carried the city by $1,000. and
last April Carter Harrison was elected
Mayor by $1,000 Now these majorities are
reduced to 1900. with a probability that an

gain. and it can only be accounted for as a
