WE HEAR little growls from little
people about there being a great
load TO carry In the late campaign
in the person of John r. Mclean
as a senatorial possibility. We
will venture to say that John r.
Mclean did more In the last cam
paign for Democratic success than
any six men In the state, and thu
he does more in every campaign in
Ohio than any other man for sue
cess of Democracy. He and his
great paper are the sworn enemies
of corruption, thus they have en-
emies among that class.

paper. The Sun is now and was
when it sailed under. the Demo
cratic flag, a gold standard paper,
utterly opposed to silver coinage.
1t says that such policy would be
costly for the reason that bonds
would.have to be issued; to. retire

nluo Blood.

The origin of the term "blue
blood" is most suggestive. After
the black Moors were driven out of
Spain, the aristocracy of Spain was
held to consist of those who traced
their lineage back to the time be-
fore the Moorish conquest. These
people were whittier than those who
had been mixed with Moorish blood.
The veins upon their white hands
were blue, while the blood OF the
masses, contaminated by the Moor
ish infusion, showed black upon
their hands and faces. So the white
Spaniards of the old race came to
declare that their blood was "blue,"
whilo that of the common people
was. black. The phrase passed to
France, whore it had no such sig
nificance and was, in fact, quite ar
bitrary, and thence it came to Eng
land and America. Chicago Times.

why these orders should have any
victims to burn in efiigy. Dollison
