POLITICAL NOTES.
Mr.. William G. Ramsey, of Lexing-
ton, KY, does not believe that Colonel
Breckenridge will be renominated, and
ventures the prediction that William
G. Owens will be the next Congress-
man from the Ashland district
The Chicago Times (Dem.) asks,
rs Cleveland Democrat" and says:
The eloquence with which President
Cleveland in the peroration to his let
ter to Representative Wilson pleaded
for absolute fidelity to Democratic
sound better coming from someone
else than a president whose later re-
cord has been one of constant viola
ton of the cardinal precepts of Dem
ocracy.
The Times is sore over the action of
the president in sending Federal
States mails. Mr.. Cleveland certainly
upheld Democratic principles in his
letter to Chairman Wilson.
President Cleveland has once more
assumed the vacant leadership of the
Democratic party. His letter read
yesterday in the House by Mr.. Wilson
is such an inspiration as the tariff
message of 1887. 1t comes precisely at
the right times. F. Examiner
Dem).
This letter of Mr. Cleveland's will
do more to establish the confidence of
the Democrats than anything he has
done since his second term began.
Don M. Dickinson says:
The time has now come for plain
talk on the tariff situation. We have
been fighting under the flag of the
Democracy in the United States Sen
ate men who are worse than traitors.
They are highway robbers; but if they
think the faithful Democrats of the
House are going to yield to them and
sacrifice their rights and convictions
they are mistaken.
That is the kind of talk the people
want. There is no sense or propriety
in CLOSING over facts any longer.
On the silver question Utah stands
pat with the so-called silver states.
1GT. silver mining industry naturally
nclines her to lean toward such legis-
lative enactments as may aid, or seem
to, in their development. Interesting
as territory, she promises to be stin
Interesting as a state and it is prob
able there will be some hard fought
political battles within the borders of
that mountain-hemmed state.-The
Lansing Journal Oem.).
Utah will be silver state, and will
do honor to the cause.
The presidents vindication now is
complete. His action has been APP
proved by both houses of Congress,
confirmed by jurists, and indorsed by
the press and people of the country
Chicago Inter-Ocean (Rep).
The vindication is complete, but it
will always be regretted that the Of
ficials of Illinois compelled this action
by their neglect of duty.
Thus the Redemption league claims,
first, to be non-partisan; second, that
its sole purpose is to redeem the state
from PopuliSt miSrule. 1t holds that the
business interests of Colorado from the
peril in which they have been placed
through the destructive methods of the
Peoples party, should be held above all
other interests; that politics should be
lsubordinated in the general and harmo-
NOUS effort of all loyal citizens to give
TO Colorado once more a good state
government.-Denver Times-Sun.
If Colorado needs one thing more
than another it is to be relieved from
the curse of Waiteism
Senator George proposes constitu-
tional amendment to restrict the hours
Of work for persons engaged in manual
labor to forty-eight a week. 1t is not
at all probable that the joint resolution
will ever get further than the calendar
Of the Senate, but it will serve to pro-
mote discussion of the eight-hour move
ment throughout the country.--Wash-
lington Star.
Senator Georges proposed amendment
is sop thrown to labor and bit of
demagogism.
The future of the Democratic party
for many years to come lies in the
hands of the Democrats of the House,
and it will be decided by its action on
the demands of Senator German, of
Maryland, who is not a Democrat not
Republican, and only in legal form a
senator, being in reality simply the
agent of the Sugar trust and the iron
Ind coal interests of the country.-N.
Z. Times Oem.).
The attitude of the House on the tar
if bill shows that the future of the
Democratic party is in safe hands.
But the House ought to fight to the
end the Senate's shamefully high pro
lection rates on manufactures and to
insist on putting back coal, iron and
other raw materials on the free list,
from which the Senate displaced them.
N. Y. Herald Qnd).
The House represents the sentiment
Of the country and not the Senate; it
will practically prevail in the end.
The compulsory arbitration bills now
before Congress have little if any
