| ana Une nle OF Une party are clever
fellows, but the Democratic party
can run mile while they are pulling
on their boots, and they will have
the rabbit twisted out of the hole
before the Populist dog is on the
ground
DEMOCRACY will applaud the very
emphatic position of the President
1 in his denunciation of the trust
bound Senators. He says he takes
his place among those "who have
marked the places where the deadly
blight of treason has blasted the
counsels of the brave in their hour OF
might In taking this position
Cleveland will find himself with the
great body of Democrats through
out the country.
That the great struggle in the
pending campaign is between. the
people and the trusts was forcibly
indicated by Mr.. Wilson in his
speech accepting the denomination
to Congress. In predicting the final
triumph of the people, he said :
"When the Sugar Trust thus chal-
lenges the American people to a con-
test OF strength it's days are num-
bered, it's temporary triumph is it's
speedier and more complete over
throw, and with it's overthrow will
vanish its sisterhooGs of monopolies
that are strong through its sup
| port
The tesms of thirty United States
Senators will expire on the Sd of next
March and the most of these vacan-
cies will be filed by Legislatures to
be chosen at the approaching cleo
ton. This fact adds to the import
ance of the present campaign and
Democrats should bestir themselves
to retain a majority in the upper
branch of Congress, as well as in the
House. The present political COM
plexion of the Senate is as follows:
Dem ocrats, 43; Republicans, 81;
Populists, 5; giving the Democrats a
ma jority of one over ala majority
altogether too close for comfort,
par ticularly as German and Brice
are counted among the Democrats.
IN A HOLE.
In the Union Republican of this
week we find the following express
sion:
"That Populist, free-silver, 16 to /
ratio plank in the State Dem ocratic
platform is nauseous dose to hon.
est money Democrats
CATER writing this, the editor of
that paper attended the Republican
State Convention, which adopted the
following:
Under existing conditions, with
no International agreement, we favor
the free coinage Of the entire product
Of American mines at the ratio of 16
to 1 ="
1t looks very much as if Bro.
GosIin is in a hole. If he was sincere
In what he said before leaving home,
he must now have violent attack
of nausea from the dish of crow the
Pops fed him at Raleigh. Will he
continue to swallow the ''nauseous
DOSE" or will he "bolt" and seek
other fields for "honest money ?"
THE TRUE CONDITION.
There has been So much unrest
throughout the country during the
tariff agitation that many true
tariff reformers, while admiring and
applauding the Presidents manly
and forcible utterances with reference
TO determined and aggressive con-
tinuance of the fight, naturally look
with some degree of apprehensive
horror upon a recurrence of the con-
ditions of the past several months.
Those who take this view of the mat
ter have not taken the pains to care
fully consider the situation and argue
OAIy uOIu ouIioco appear duCo.
The true condition is briefly, but
pointedly, set forth in an interview
with MI. Wilson few days ago.
What is there Mr.. Wilson was
asked, sin the assertion that re-
of the tariff agitation next
winter will bring recurrence of
husiposS ,1wroSf
THAT is wholly unwarranted,"
said he. "There need be no general
bill reaching all industries, SO that |
the legislation will not be such rs to |
affect commercial affairs generally. |
The tariff "a ties will remain stable on
the very great majority of articles,
and it will be upon comparatively |
few that the perfecting of details will |
be necessary in order that the tariff |
reform placed on the statutc-books |
shall be consistent whole"
