M'KINLEY's ANTAGONIST.

Republican papers picture the Ohio
Democrats as swinging their search light
over the state to find a man who will
dare to enter the lists against their
favorte now entered for the present
and the futurity stakes. They affect to
believe that there is no Democratic
David willing to face the Republican
Goliath. Their comfort, if not wholly
an assumed thing, will be short-lived.
There is no lack Of material among the
Democrats of that state. THURMAN did
not take all the craftsmanship of the
party into retirement with him.
If the Ohio Democrats are wise in
their day they will meet the issue which
the Republicans have raised in the per
son of their candidate, fairly and
squarely. They will neither dodge nor
straddle. They will meet ultra-Repub-
licanism with equally ultra Democracy.
They will select from among their
number the man who best represents
that progressive spirit which is the in
spiration of our party and the surety
for its success. He should represent
the new school of Democracy. The
paltering, dallying, insincere, trading
Democrat has had his day. His are the
days before yesterday; he is a back
number.
The Chicago convention revealed the
man whom the Democrats should name
if they have any gumption or sense. 1t
was an Ohio man who saved the Democ-
racy of the nation from the ridiculous
position in which the resolutions COM
mittee proposed 10 place it, and put it
front face to the real issue. Back of
LARRY NEAL, who offered the amend
ment as minority report, was Tom
JOHNSON. TO whom NEAL told the ac-
tion of the committee. 1t was he who
suggested the minority report and
shaped the substitute which the conven-
tion so enthusiastically adopted and the
nation ratified with such tremendous
force. Pit Ton JOHNSON against the
author of McKinleyism. and let them
have fair field and no favor. Clear.
cogent, courageous. believing that con-
victions are to be stood by and defend
ed. and not made q matter OF orna-
mental wear; eloquent and honest as
sunlight. no man in that state better
represents the Democracy of today than
does TOM JOHNSON, and the GLOBE
hopes that the Ohm Democracy will
have the wit and sand to nominate him.

LIFE IN NEW ZEALAND.

One Continual Round of Holi-
days-Picnics, of Course, Most
Favored.
The colonists of New Zealand are
holiday-making people. There is al
most an average OF one recognized holi-
day to the month, and it is a common
practice for all working people to
take two or more days at Christ
mas, the New Year and Easter, so as to
make an unbrOkeD play-time of three OF
four days, including Sunday. Then the
great mass of the people give them
selves up to amusement. Horse races,
athletic sports, boat races and excur-
sions are carried on in every available
spot, and are attended by large and we'll
behaved crowds.
g. The commonest of all holidry amuse-
ments, however, is a picnic. The sew
eral trades, sects and societies have pic
mics of their own. to witch the public
are cordially welcome on the payment
of small sum toward the exDenSe or
the entertainment. 1t is amusing to the
railway traveller to note, as he passes
brought some pleasant countryside, no
one or two, but perhaps fifty different
picncs in full swing, each numbering
scores of hundreds of guests. 1t has
been said with much more truth than is
usually to be found in epigrams of this
kind that:
"ln New Zealand people are like cat
tie. You need only to turn number of
them into pasture and leave them
alone and they will be perfectly happy"

day an enterprising burglar might walk
