SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF

Looking back over it one feature of
the campaign stands out prominently
and cheers us with hope for the future
and that is the entire absence of at
tacks upon the personal character of
the candidates for the presidency. Once
an effort was made in this direction.
and Mr.. Bryan was accused of being
the paid agent or attorney Of the sill
yer miners, but his prompt and explicit
denial supported by his good char
acter, was sufficient to squelch this
and to draw from the only prominent
person who had given it circulation a
retraction and apology. Both Mr..
Bryan and Mr.. Mckinley have felici-
tated themselves on the fact that the
ardor Of the campaign has not drawn
from either a word that would reflect
a personality and that each has been
able to discuss policies that In his
honest opinion related to the common
veal.
1t may be too much to hope that
the day has passed when a national
campaign will reek with the scan
daIs of that of 1884. for it is not beyond
the possible that some party, drunk
with power and careless of morals.

paign. 1t is something that they have
a right to demand. 1t is only that the
Republican party, flushed with success,
almost overwhelmed by the unexpect-
ed magnitude of it's victory, shall not
forget what it owes to the principles
that true Democrats love and believe
in. If they have saved their country
from ruin, from disgrace, from an
marched abandon or moderate the pol
icies which are second in hatefulness
to Democrats only to those that have
just been beaten at the polls. Give US
of the people and helps them. Abandon
the oldtime alliance with monopoly.
Take your courage in both hands and
reform the currency. Send to the
right about those leaders of yours who
have paltered with this issue and de-
Tended the greenbacks and cried for
more tariff, and built upon all that is
sordid and base in man, and make to
the Democrats who became your aux
iliaries in this fight the only compen-
sation within your power to give or
theirs to receive, which is a larger
recognition Of the rights of man, and Of
those policies about which there has
been no difference of opinion in this
campaign.
Side by side, Democrats and Repub-
licans have, in these last two weeks,
fought for honest money. for currency
reform and for the remedy Of old
abuses; and the greenback, and the by
dra Of protection have not raised their
heads. That the victorious shall give
honest countenance and help to the
cause by which their victory was won
is all that any Democrat has to ask.
1t will take the sting from the costly
sacrifice he made; better than that,
it will promote for all time to come
the exercise of independence in voting,
and the triumph of patriotism over par
tisanship, if these, the millions who
went to the aid Of the Republican
party in its distress, shall see the works
of their hands established

by corrupt men to place in nomination
a man of bad character. Criticism of
such, exposure of the acts that prove
unfitness, while an unpleasant is still
a necessary duty, but we may indulge
the hope that audacious fabrications
affecting character will not again be a
feature of our campaigns. If this
should be the case we may claim that
the American people are, in this as in
other ways, proving their capacity for
self-government. One will get fair
measure of the progress made If he
will visit some great library and there
dig out from the papers and the
pamphlets the coarse abuse heaped
upon men whom this generation ven>
crates. Not even Washingtons purity
and nobleness of character, not his
patriotic services, saved him from re-
Wings, and pious ministers portrayed
Jefferson as a devil incarnate come to
destroy Christianity. Jays treaty drew
forth the charge that British gold had
tainted Washington's palm. and Jeffer-
son was freely charged with having
robbed his orphaned wards. From
those campaigns to those since 1888 is
long way upward in cleanliness, in
respect for the great office of presi-
dent, in self-respect in the voter re-
f1ected in his respect for the office No
force has been so great. none can be
so great, in aiding this progress as
the press, and 1t really lies with it to
say that campaigns henceforth shall
be free from the shame of the past
and to enforce it by refusing publicity
to the foul creations of impure minds.

III REPUBLICAS RESPONSIBILITY
~ t.-e9
Pointed Out in an Address to the
League Clubs.

CINCINNATI, o., Nov. 6.-Upon the
suggestion Of the advisory committee
OF the national league, President D. d.
Woocmansee has issued the following
address,: To the members of the Re
publican clubs of the United States:
The splendid victory of Tuesday, in which
you took a part is an heritage to every citizen
who believes in good government. l con-
gratulate you upon the outcome Of this me-
morable political contest. Many of you have
labored to bring about this result with the
zeal that has known no WEAKNESS. The effect
OF your loyal service has been felt in every
state where the fight has been fSrcest. On
behalf of our organization, extsad to you
grateful acknowledgements.
The past OF the league is history. We are
now concerned about It's future. 1t Is the
ambition of those who are most interested in
our league that it's influence for good may be
enlarged and that its position In state and
national politics may be maintained. The
election to the presidency Of William NcKin-
ley, a man who was ever a friend az the
league and one who appreciates its value will
fill our hearts with renewed hope and cDur-
age. Inc debts OF the league. that hav9 so
long been menace to It's usefulness, kave
been paid. With clean record, let us at
once begin the campaign OF 1898.
The Republican party faces responsibilities
today that VIII seriously affect the American
people The hard campaign which has Just
ended was made doubfy hard by the silent
forces that had been at work for years to
undermine our financial policy Let us use
the league between campaigns as a counter
acting influence favorable to our common
cause. Make all Mckinley clubs permanent
clubs or consolidate those that are in your
locality. Join your state league without de-
lay. During the winter months have regular
meetings, to study and discuss political ques-
tons. Scatter literature - freely as has been
done f5P yvsF5 y the 1TmetaIfc league, so
that when the actual battle of another cam
paign is upon US, our people will already have
been educated and our victory then will be-
come an easy one. Again congratulating you,
bespeak Wour earnest and cordial support for
the success of the League of Republican
clubs. Sincerely, d. D. Woodmansee.

CONFIDENCE I'm REVIVAL.
1t Is Illustrated in Nearly All Lines
of Trade

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say: Business was prac-
tically suspended throughout the coun-
try this week, and there has been little
increase in the volume since the cleo
ton, compared with like periods in pre-
ceding. weeks. But manufacturers and
jobbers are more inclined to purchase
i'll advance instead Of for nearby wants
only, and in few lines, notably wool,
cotton, iron and steel, a larger volume
of purchases Is reported. That mer-
chants generally share the confidence
in an early revival Is indicated by
hardening staple prices and the in
creases in quotations in addition to
those given in preceding weeks. Sales
of cotton have been freer and some
mills are better employed WOODEN
mills also report more orders, and q
tendency to prefer higher cost goods.
Numerous industrial establishments
which have started up within two days
report being offered large orders If
they would sell for 1887 delivery, at
present prices. Many Rhode Island
manufacturers report preparations for
a larger output than anticipated, and
that orders received contingent on cleo
ton results notably in the lumber and
jeWelry lines, are now being filed. Ow-
ing to the lateneSS of the season, few
have regarded the outlook as promis-
ing InuCn III IIle nature Oh q DOOln our
ing the current year.
AT a few Northwestern commercial
centres, large orders have been received
from country merchants within few
days, and in Georgia, farmers have met
their obligations this autumn more
promptly than for years past, and
Southern merchants and manufacturers
are reported looking ahead confidently
to a marked improvement in business
in the near future.
Total exports of wheat (aour inelud-
ed) from both coasts Of the United
States and from Montreal this week,
amount to 3,472, 900 blu against 3,62S, 900
bu last week, 1855, 900 blu in the week
one year ago; 1853, eco bu in the week
two years ago; 2.815,000 blu three years
ago, as compared with 1856, 900 blu in
the corresponding week in 1892. Ex-
ports Of INDIAN corn amount to 2,247,-
900 bu this week. about 200, 900 bu less
than last week, nearly twice as much
as in the corresponding week one year
ago, and much more than in like weeks
in the three next preceding years.
Business failures throughout the
United States this week number 223,
twenty-three fewer than last week, 81
less than in the corresponding week Of
