POLITICAL NOTES.

The election of Democratic House of
Representatives in November would I'M
doubtedly be followed by a renewal in
intensified form of financial distrust and
business depression, with vastly more
serious consequences to capital and labor
than have already been suffered.-Omaha
Bee (Rep.)
This is the old familiar calamity howl
of the Republicans, but it long since lost
it's terror.
The citizen with a good, warm blanket
around him in the bitter nights of the
coming winter will not lie awake think
ing about twenty pounds of sugar for 81.
Sugar, however, should be and will be on
the free list whenever there is a Demo-
cratic Senate.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Oem)
The country will not only have free
sugar when the Senate is as thoroughly
Democratic as the House, but many
other things free also.
Commenting on Tom Reeds speech at
Old Orchard, the Chicago Times Dem.)
makes the following very proper answer
to it:
The difficulty with this very simple SO.
luton of the Democracy's mingled
strength and weakness is that it will
not stand the test Mere division on geo
graphical lines cannot be maintained in
the face of the fact that Senators Brice,
Murphy, and Mcpherson, all from north
ern states joined Senators German, Cam
| den. and Caffery, from southern states
| in defeating true Democratic tariff re-
| form.

unintentional service. He has stripped

and he stands revealed today in his true
! character, as weak, clustering, ill-tem-
| pered man, who has not manners enough
! to conceal from the country the rancor
he feels because he has not been allowed
i his own way in matters affecting the
public lnterest.-N. Y. Commercial Ad-
Vertiser (Rep)
| He has done the country a service but
not of the kind indicated by the Com
mercial Advertiser
The last vestige of confidence in the

associates on the Democratic side of the
Senate for their 'peridy and dishonor
of free raw materials to keep up the
cause of the Sugar trust, the president
now permits the mongrel tariff bill tc

i Republican estimates of Democratic
presidents are not so emnently fair and
impartial as to have any special weight
and it is so in the present instance.

| 1t is very broad construction thai
can make of the presidents letter t

the business interests of the country.
For just and invlnciblei reasons, which

The country will draw long and deer

The new tariff law has replaced the in

this is a great glory for the Democratic
party.

The letter was bold and thoroughly

was generally approved.
