DEMOCRATS AGAINST DEMOCRATS.
The function of a Republican in this campaign is
ruraiv judicial He has only 20 listen 10 the various
stories told hv leading Democrats as to how ii ali
happened. weigh them mparuaiiy and distribute the
blame in just proportions. What is there for Re
publican to add to Mr.. Cleveand's charge that the
new tariff act record OF party perhdy ana party
dishonor"? What a Republican say when four
Democratic United states senators rise in Their
places one after another and declare that the ireSi
dent himself urged them TO make that record ana
said he approved Of II? Wha; MT can fe-

that into a million homes where contentmen'
