A CASE OF CLEVELAND WORSHIP.

The Pittsburg Dispatch closes COM
plant that Senator Sherman, in his let
ter to the Ohio convention, did not de-
clare that it is the duty of Republicans
to support the President in his efforts to
secure the repeal of the silver purchase
act, as follows:
That duty demands that patriotism shall
have q prior claim TO partisanship, and
that every Republican Representative In
Congress shall speak and vote. not TO en-
barrass Democrats at the Nations expense.
but TO secure so far as may be the pros
perity of the country by aiding the con-
sentative element of the Democratic party
headed by the President-to control the
radicals in matters of tariff and finance.
AS Secretary Sherman declared for
the repeal of the silver-purchasing act
last December, introduced bill to that
end. reported it back to the Senate from
the finance committee and voted for it,
the complaint about his letter is ground
less. The statement of the Dispatch
that Mr.. Cleveland is laboring "to con-
troll the radicals in matters of tariff and
finance" is a pure assumption. Mr..
Cleveland has declared against pro-
tective tariff time and again, and
there is no evidence that he is
using his influence to curb those
who are determined to carry out the
pledge In the platform upon which the
President was nominated. 1t is said
that he has withdrawn all opposition to
the reelection of Speaker Crisp, with
the understanding that stronger free
trader shall be placed at the head of the
ways and means committee. AS to
finance, if it is true, as reported. that
the Presidents recommendation will
couple with the repeal of the silver-pur-
chasing law the repeal of the temper
cent. tax on the circulation of State
banks, Republicans should vote against
the measure. Sound banking. with a
national paper currency, specie resump-
ton, the payment of two-t thirds of the
bonded debt and the funding of the rest
at per cent, the defeat of all the
schemes for the free coinage of silver
are Republican achievements. The
party or its representatives will not go
back on its achievements. If any
Representative elected by Repub-
lican votes outside of the silver
States should vote against the repeal
of the silver purchasing law. he will
fail to represent the conviction of vast
majority of that party. If. however.
the repeal of that law is coupled with a
proposition which will destroy national
paper currency and flood the country
with State and wildcat paper money.
Republicans will be warranted in vot-
ing against il, no matter who presents
it. 1t will be early enough to exhort
Republican Congressman to support
Mr. Cleveland when he shall have pre-
sented his measures in full to the coun-
try. The Dispatch may ascribe infalli-
bility to the President for itself, but it
has no right TO berate Republicans be-
cause they will not sustain HIM without
even knowing what he himself favors

j. w. LOEPER was elected to the
the understanding that he was opposed
to MIR. Frenzeps dominating the board.
After his election he sold out to the
Frenzel faction. his price being that he
should be elected secretary Of the board
and chairman of the committee on build
ings and grounds. The Frenzel faction
carried out their part OF the contract.
and since then Loeper has acted with
them. The position he occupies on the
board gave him pull" which he has
used for personal and family purposes
to an extent that shows him to be an
unfit person to be on the board. Voters
in the Sixth district should make it
their special business to see that he is
defeated. His opponent. Mr.. George
BOrst, is in every sense better man for
the position, and there should be no hes
itancy on the part of any elector in the
district in casting his vote for him. The
Journal believes that the best interests
of the schools demands that he shOUld
be chosen to succeed Mr.. Loeper. AS
between Mr.. Calvin and Mr.. O'BrieD, in
the Fifth district, Mr.. Calvin should be
reelected. Mr.. Vonnegut is pre.emi-
nently better qualified to represent his
district than his opponent. Mr.. DOeppers.
Mr.. Martindale and DIR. Carver, candi-
dates in the Third district, are both
good men, and the election of either
would be satisfactory.

It is suspected that the A. p. A. will take
an active part in the election to-day. Last

on South Meridian street and little in

In the Third district the committee rec

in the Fifth district the name of James v.
Offutt is sprung az q new candidates; In the
Sixth district the committee recommend
tho election of George I. BOrst. and in the
Ninth district, neither of the candidates
being Catholics, the voters are left to their
own choice. Tho circular closes with this as
sertion: This committee Is actuated solely
by love for our country and it's free institu-
tions. We are not Protestants, and, there
fore. do not oppose the Catholic Church
from selfish motives. All we ask is for
RoInanism to le our public school system

The distributors of the circulars. when
asked their source, replied that they had

when asked II 1T was an A. p. A. commit ee
they declared that they never heard of
such organization. Several known
members Of the A. p. A. were seen by
Journal reporters, but they denied al
knowledge of the circulars; but the deniaIs
were altered in q rather knowing WAY.
The tone Of the circular. however. marks
1t beyond question as either emanating
from the A p. A. or from people III close
sympathy with the organization. The re-
suit will be watched with vast amount
OF interest by people in general and the pol
iticians in particular. There is q vast
amount of curiosity among the latter TO

take III local politics. Claims are made of
q membership for 1t in the city OF from
seven Thousand TO twelve thousand voters
OF both parties. and 1t is further limited
that they are likely to vote as unit. Their
success OF failure to-day is likely to be
taken as an indication of their strength or

in she Forum on pensions Representative
Warner, of Brooklyn, n. Y, says:
There are known 10 be thousands of i'm
personators of brave men under whose
names they have skulked; perjurers who
have magnitied or forged bodily ailments
or who have attributed to their service Iu-
juries and diseases known TO have been re-
ceived or contracted elsewhere; "reliots'
who never knew the soldiers in whose
names they ask relief from the govern
ment; mistresses who never dared to take
the names of their paramours until they
were dead; pension jumpers" of both
sexes who are drawing two, three OF more
pensions under different names.
If there are known to be thousands of
such cases why do not those who pos
sess the knowledge furnish them TO the
Pension Bureau? Simply because they
are not known. and Representative
Warner therefore stands before the
country as the traducer of tens of thou
sands of aged mothers and helpless Wild
ows because they receive S12 month.
AS he gives no names his stigma. if be-
lieved, would attach to every one of
them. And this is pension reform."

The afternoon was devoted to paper by
T.. III. Doterman on the su bJect OF prOprie-
tary medicines He took tho ground that
they are for the most part nostrums of little
or no alue and that the cOnscien tiOus drug
gist should try to discourage their sale all
that he can. He pointed out that the sale
of such stuff could be prevented III some
degree by offering a preparation made by
the druggist at less cost. which would sell
for lees money. while being q compound of
which the drHggist would know the con-
tents and could consistently recommend for
every thing that the patent medicine was
advertised TO cure. Inc sentiment or the
discussion tended In the direction of the
paper.
The query box was again brought into
use and developed several topics of much
interest to the druggists. vote or thanks
WAS rendered to the exhibitors for their
presence. The new president announced
that he would take several days before an

The druggists were taken anOth er ride

brewery, where they witnessed the process

ride was then continued to Irvington and
back, and then to the foot OF Virginia

by Mr.. w. w. Scott. The fremen at No. s

courtesy, and pleased them by hitching up

aud gone home.

technical paper was read by Mr.. Eberhardt
on the ubject of "Hydrastin." II received
considerable discussion. The convention
