They were able to endure six months
of the democratic administration. and
remain democratic in the November
election. but one year Of Cleveland,
Gresham, Wilson. Queen lii, and gen
eral Generalization OF business drove
even these democratic strongholds into
the republican party. They all gave
republican maiOrities this time.
In Cincinnati the democrats made
their campaign under cover Of "a citi-
zcns' ticket" and the Cincinnati En-
uuircr supported that ticket with the
hope of in that way defeating the re-
publicans. But John A. Caldwell
fresh from congress-, where he had
vigorously opposed the Wilson bill,
was elected mayor by large plurality,
defeating both the citizens candidate
and the democratic candidate.
Columbus and Cleveland both gave
large democratic maioritics i'm 1892
and Congressman Tom l.. Johnson
claimed the latter victory as a com
plptc Endorsement Of his free-tradc
views Cleveland swung back into the
republican column last fall, but Tom
Johnson looked upon it as a Mckinley
accident. The second republican vic
tory in Cleveland last week is an indi-
cation that Tom Johnson and his free
trade Theories have been repudiatcd in
his old home. The influence of the
ThmmalS was not enough to hold Co
lumhus in line. nor was the cloquencc
OF Frank Hurd enough to keep Toledo
from giving a republican majority.
Ex-Governor Campbells old home,
Hamilton, was never before known to
desert the democratic ticket But that
city could not longer endure the humil-
iation Of upholding the administration
responsible for the greatest panic in
American history. Campbell has met
financial ruin along with thousands of
other business men, and Hamilton
made a clean sweep Of it's democratic
officials TO try republican rule.
These municipal elections in Ohio
show how deep is the disgust of the
people for the administration and the
party thai have made malicious
assault upon the business interests Of
the country But they are no more
emphatic in their Reputation than are
the voters Of Michigan. where the
same story is told in the elections on
the same day, or those in New York
who spoke at their elections in March.
The whole north is in revolt against
the president and congress that have
allowed the south to dictate policy
and legislation which have no other
object than revenge.

THE REmpROCTTY POLICY.

THE RECIPROCITY POLICY.
Senators German and Brice agree in
predicting that the tariff bill as il
now stands. with very slight changes,
will receive the support Of every demo
crat in the senate That, on a full
vote would insure its passage but not
its enactment The house will refuse
to concur in the amendments. prob
ably and a conference committee will
follow as a matter of course. Then
the I ,la settlement Of the matter will
be in sight The last stage Of the pro
ceeding will be then reached.
In the meanwhile the farmers Of the
west will be likely 10 get clear
understanding Of their interest in the
bill
As it now stands this tariff bill
would he the severest blow ever dealt
to the farmers and ranchmen Of the
country. The Chicago Inter Ocean ex-

sorrowfuI Republicans.

The Caledonia county Republicans are
in the same boat with the Windham coun-
ty Democrats. The filing of their nomin-
ations on Monday of last week was of no
avail, the 30-days' limit having expired on
Saturday night, the 4th inst. This is the
decision of Secretary of State Brownell,
who holds that the day of election cannot
be counted in the 30 days. The Republi-
cans will do their best to have names
enough written in to save the election of
their candidates, and will probably succeed
1t was thought at first that paster ballots
could be used for each voter to stick on the
official ballot, but the conclusion of the
lawyers is that the only resource is to write
in the names. And this is what the Wind

The Mestern Corn Crop.

A generous rain fell last Sunday over a
wide area in the West, including a large
part of Illinois, Iowa and Indiana. South
ern, central and northwestern Minnesota
also got a good drenching. 1t was the first
rain of any amount which had fallen in
some of these sections for three months.
InIsome cases it came in season to greatly
benefit the corn crop, but in many others
the crop was past saving. In more than
half of Iowa the crop is beyond help.
The government crop report, issued at
the end of last week, confirms the worst
that has been said as to the prospect for
western corn. The general condition of
the crop is placed at 69.1-about the lowest
on record against condition of 95 only a
month ago. Iowa, the chief corn produc-
ing state, reports a cocdition of 4j. It's
total crop for this year is placed at only
150,000,000 bushels, against 350,000,000 in
the best year the state ever saw. Nebras-
ka, which usually stands near the head of
the list, reports the astonishngly low figure
of 33 and South Dakota 20. In western
Kansas two-thirds of the crop is total fail
ure. Every day adds to the distress from
drouth in Nebraska.
In Ohio corn is shrveling from the
drouth and on the uplands is total fail
ure. Elsewhere half a crop may be Sc
cured with favorable weather from now
on. Even trees are dying, and wells and
springs are drying up. Pastures are dead,
and farmers are feeding their cattle. The
potato crop is ruined in many parts of the
state.

does not "bear genuine Democratic

nations and violations of principle" 1t
carries with it the Inconsistent absurdty"
of putting the wool of the farmer on the

coal of corporations and capitalists" 1t
is "violative of Democratic principle and
Democratic good faith" Are these epi-
thets ours? Not at ALL These are the
terms which the President of the United
States, the head of the party engaged in
the passage of this bill, has employed to
describe it-and this only one short month

u '0''' 4I'V F'7'I
The worst thing about this tariff bill is
not the question of the detail of any sched-
ule or the amount of any duty levied on
any particular article. 1t rests on the be-
lief, now current in this country, that leg
islation can be secured in Washington by
the use of corrupt means. 1t is a charge
never seriously believed until this time. 1t
does more to discredt the country at home
and abroad than all the Debs strikes that
could be inaugurated. 1t is more death
ly blow at the vital spot in our institutions
than the southern secession. 1t requires
prompt and sharp condemnation. 1t ought
to receive, as a matter of course, a presi-
dental veto. Whether it does or not, the
expression of the people at the polls in
November will be accepted as their opin-
ion

But in the opinion of the New York Sun,
"a by no means friendly critic-it would
undoubtedly be held that the date prescribes
an impossbilty, and that the phrase 'on

merely requires that the new schedules shall

This is the opinion of the independent
and conservative Philadelphia Ledger of
the hodge-podge tariff bill which the House
of Representatives swallowed at gulp
Monday afternoon: "Of all the blunders
which the Democrats in Congress have
committed the Wilson-Gorman tariff-in-
come-tax bill is the worst, and they will
pay at every poll in November next the
penalty of their blundering, of their reck-
less disregard of the welfare of the people"

come.
