DURING the Lincoln anniversary ban
quet held in Columbus, Ohio, a few
days ago, Governor Mckinley in speak
of the Republican defeat of 1892 said {:
''The defeat has not made Republican
principles less true nor our faith in
their ultimate triumph less strong. We
have not revised our viewsnor reversed
our lines. We still do not believe that
Republican protection is "a fraud and
a robbery, nor that it is 'unconstitu-
tional, nor do we believe that the tar
if law of 1890 was or is the culmina-
ting atrocity of class leaislation,' nor
that reciprocity is a sham As a par
ty we have nothing to recall and little
to regret. The past is secure and its
glories can not be dimmed. The future
will yet commend the latest Republi-
a legislation and approve of the pres
emit Republican administration. Re.
publican purpose is written in public
law. 1t can be read by all men. The
country knows what it has accom-
plished and is accomplishing. 1t does
not rest in the breath of orators nor in
the declaration of campaign platforms.
1t is an enduring statute. Criticism
will no longer avail our political adver-
saries. Positive enactment must be
met by positive enactment. Carping
at our laws must give way to construc'
ton of theirs. A Democratic tariff law
must now stand actual comparison
with O Republican tariff law. That il
the real test and it must come or the
Democratic party must stand convict
ed by it's own confession of obtaining
power under false pretences. We dc
not fear the contrast. Aye, invite and
welcome it. The business interests, the
wage worker, the agriculturist of the
country await with anxious solicitudt
the promised reforms. They should
not be delayed, The Republican tar
ifs which have been so persistently
characterized as artful devices to rot
the poor should not be tolerated a sin
gle day after the Democracy take
power. Prompt action is the test o.
good faith and capacity; procrastina
ton a sure sign Of ~insincerity and in
trinity. Which will it be ?"
Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1893-02-23

ord for near thirty years, and charita-
BILE Republicans, knowing that the
word Democracy means government
by the people," a preponderance of
which is found in the Republican par
ty, allowed them the undisturbed use
of the borrowed record. Thomas JEFF
ferson was one of u great Republican
Presidents, of whom all Republicans
have ever had reason to be proud. Not
only Republicans, but all parties quote
from Jefferson as a principal founder
and standard leader, he being at the
time of his first Inauguration the most
commanding figure in American poll
tics Washington having died about
two years anterior to that time). AS
Mr.. Cleveland is about to take upon
himself what we call the position II
the highest dignltary in the world, his
election being due to his preeminent
declaration of being the chief expo
nent of "Jeffersonian" principles, I
will endeavor to define the situation
by inserting a few of Mr.. jefferson 3
sentiments which have been quoted by
all historians and published in onnec
ton with all party platforms of all
parties since their u%tterance in 1901,
now 90 years. l give them not as quo
tations of my own, but as l find them
in print as quoted by various historians
and authors for ninety two years past.
As follows (called Jefferson's %letters) :
Some removals l know must be
made. They must be, as far as posi-
BILE, done gradually, and bottomed on
some malversation and inherent dis
qualification"
"Oficers who have been guilty of
gross abuses of Office such as marshals
packing %juries, etc., l shall now remove
as my predecessor ought in justice to
have done. The instances will be few,
and governed by strict rule, not by par
ty passion. The right of opinion shall
suffer no invasion from me. .
The measures we shall pursue and pro-
pose for the amelioration of public at
fairs will be so confessedly salutary as
to unite all men not monarchists in
principle"

was may know where to find relief.
"When my son was seven years old he
began to complain of soreness in his right
leg. A white swelling soon appeared just
below the knee joint, and extended from
the knee to the ankle. At the same time
he was taken with an attack of fever,
which was broken up, but the leg became
very badly swollen, causing him great
suffering, and the muscles so contracted
that his leg was drawn up at right angles.
He was unable to walk, could not even
bear to be handled, and | thought him a
Confirmed Cripple.
"After a time we had the swelling
lanced, midway between the knee and the
ankle, and it would discharge over a pint
of pus at times. 1 decided to take him to
Cincinnati to have the leg operated upon,
expecting he would lose it. But he had
become so poor and weak that l thought l
would let him gather ZONE strength, II
possible, and bought a bottle of Hoods
Sarsaparilla and began giving it to him.
