" ooA1uSIOu, OCVOOo1 A1' 1O5C,
The sneak campaign through
which the democrats hoped to cap
ture the House by lulling repub-
lican voters into a feeling of over
security that would prevent their
voting will not succeed. Every
day makes that more apparent.
Republicans everywhere now re-
alize the absolute necessity of
continued control of the House,
not only to keep the good work Of
the campaign Of '96 from being
undone, but to carry out the war
policy of President Mckinley.
The prosperity Of the country, as
we'll as the prestige of the govern
ment abroad, is at stake. A few
weeks ago there were many re-
publicans who did not realize this;
today there are not so many by
thousands, and before election day
there will be mono; and the result
Of this awakening will be a rous-
ing republican victory and en-
dorsement Of tho grand achieve
ments Of the administration, both.
in peace and ii war. The demo-
Gratis are beginning to realize this,
The Worthington advance., 1898-10-27

as they are beginning to discount
their defeat. They are no longer
claiming that they will elect a ma
jority III the House, but are be-
ginning to let themselves down
easy by claiming that they
will cut down the republican ma
jority in the House.
The official news from the
American Peace Commissioners
has not been made public, but it
b satisfactory to Secretary Hay,
as gar as it has gone, and it has
gone as far as it was expected, un-
der the circumstances. Speed
and promptness are unknown to
the Spanish character, but Spain
has been made to understand that
what Spain is pleased to call the
Cuban bonded indebtedness would
not be allowed to figure in the
negotiations at Paris. It required
no new instructions to the Ameri-
can Commissioners to accomplish
that result. They understood
from the first that President Nc
Kinley was determined that the
United States should have moth
ing to do whatever with either
paying or guaranteeing the pay
ment Of single bond issued by
the Kingdcm of Spain. When
the Philippine question is taken
up Spain will again be shown that
the United States is debating
the terms of the treaty of peace,
not playing game of di plomacy.
This government will hereafter
make smokeless powder for the
navy, as will be seen from the fol-
lowing extract from the manual
report of the Chief of the Nav
al Ordnance Bureau: "After
many difficulties the manufacture
of purely smokeless powder
made by the bureaus formula
from soluble nitr cellulose dissol-
we'd in ether alchohol, uniform in
character and possessing good
keeping qualities, has become an
accomplished fact. Considerable
quantities hove already been pro-
vided and few vessels have ( cen
given complete outfits; all vessels
fitted out hereafter will, if time
and money permit, be supplied
exclusively with smokeless DOW
der except a certain number of
charges of brown powder to be
used for target practice, in order
that the supply on hand may be
used up, and because it is cheaper
than smokeles powder. The bu-
reau could have supplied consider
able Quantities of smokl ess pow
der. The bureau could have sup
piled considerable quantities of
smokeless powder to various YES
sells during the late war, but as
owing to lack Of time it was i'm
practicable to supply complete
outfits, it seemed useless to- sup
ply it in part, rs a few guns us
ing brown powder would nullify
the advantages gained by the use

The capitol of the new republic is

Senate is to be composed of six
senators from each of the three
states, and three from the federal

The democrats succeeded in
capturing one county. Office by
republican votes two years ago, do
not permit them to get two this
year in the same manner. We
know the people of Mobiles county
are very tender hearted and the
republicans have been charged
with starving, ill-treating and not
administering sufficient medical
attention to the soldiers, but dc
not give way and place two or even
one of their candidates from gov
ernor down to commissioner in Of

E. A. Tripp has performed the
duties of auditor with honor and
credit to himself and the county
during his first term which is suf-
fcent assurance that he will do so
again for another term. The af-
fairs of the Office have been prop
erly cared for and in no way suf-
fered or even neglected for any
reason or at any time. He is mer-
itous of second term on these
principles that should be consid-
cred in every candidate; availbili-
ty, qualification, competency or
fitness. Mr.. Tripp, possessing all,
is therefore worthy of, not only
republican votes but every vote in
the county. There is no reason
why at least every republican
should not vote for him. He did
not come before the people asking
for any Office they saw fit to give
him, or to be showed from one side
to another, but asked for the Of
fee of auditor. We personally
heard Mr.. Kennedy say he would
accept anything they (the conven-
tion King ct al) saw fit to give
him. It is anything for an Office.
What did the republicans do?
They turned down one because
they considered he had occupied
the Office long enough, if this is
the case then Mr.. Kennedy has
held a county Office long enough
because the Office held paid more
in one year than Clerk of Court
pays in two, therefore Mr.. Ken.
nedy comes before the people as
an Office seeker, that fact is no
disgrace but when a man has had
enough of county benefit at the
hands of the people it's time to
draw che line on sympathetic
support. The democrats know the.
republicans are big and tender
hearted people 4 nd thrust their

men upon them. We now have
one official elected by republican
votes and this year tho democrats
think they can put another one in
office tho same way, and another
election some other candidate will
come up for a sympathetic vote
and before we are aware the county
officers will all be elected through
sympathy. This is a. matter for
democrats themselves to consider,
if they are putting a man whom
they have sufficiently honored, in
office on his merits or because of
some other reason. II they con-
tinue to hold one in office, who
has held it for years, what chance
is there for other deserving ones
OF obtaining Office, or even any
encouragement for young aspir-
ants; this question is being con-
sidered in some parts of the county
by those who have devoted their
time and energy for the success of
the party. If the old democrats
continue. to place Office seeking
candidates before the people who
draw sympathetic republican votes
and are elected by them what
chance have others Of either party.
Consider this we'll, especially re-
publicans. We now have one Of

support, are you going to increase

you will vote for E. A, Trip for

have on the ticket professional
Office seekers, who have no partic-

it is not even skin deep, just deep
enough to seek an Office and
swallow anything a few leaders,
who believe in revenue only, ask
them. The only way the Young
and rising generation productive
of the brains of the party, can
hope to obtain anybdesired height
is to turn in with the republicans
and vote their professional Office
seekers down and then there will
be an opportunity for them to Sc
