zig-Zags in Politics.

ming Company made it his business
to visit Laporte on Friday, and was
observed in earnest consultation
with the tannery officials, but the
subject under discussion was said to
be one not relating to politics.
Vote for j. l.. Christian, he is an
honest man far beyond reproach and
will be the first to aid "honest gov
eminent"
1t is not party battle, but nation
in peril. Mckinley must have a full
house of Representatives and Sena-
tors.
1t is neither pelf nor place that we
crave. We must aid the President
in defending our national honor.
Who're the American flag has been
raised it must there remain. Vote
for Woodin.
Always beware of those who run
and yell "thief, when there are no
thieves" This fact has been proven.
From this day until the polls close
ON the first Tuesday in November
every patriot without regard to party
who would safeguard the common
wealth should aid in forming Il COM
mittee of safety and vote for DIR. j.. l..
Christian.
jill. Christian is man of tirnness
and character. He is practical, pro-
gressive and sensible. He has good
name to maintain, and sufficient
courage to grapple with wrong even
when it is intrenched within his own
political household should such oc-
cur. Vote for him.
Mullen and Gallagher's thrilling
production of campaigning has been
on the stage just long enough to in
sure it a fair trial, it has made Il de
cided hit in provoking little or no
enthusiasm, and the popular response
is disappointing. 1t was their in
tention to mislead the people and
make the campaign go with Il rush.
Voters were to have plenty of time
for free excursions, excitement and
applause, but no time for thought.
Some of the more sanguinc leaders
are beginning to suspect that it will
not work, that there is something
wrong with the whole outfit and
that profitable diversion can only
be reached by nothing less than II
change. There is not much discount
on the statement that the rule of
common sense applies in politics as
in every thing else. On one side it
is hurrah and on the other side
dignity, honesty and proper conser-
vatism. There is danger in Il change
of base before the war clouds have
cleared away. Our accounts with
Spain are in Il state of unsatisfactory
or substantial settlement. 1t means
peril if this State does not do its duty.
1t can be daughter in the National
house while it is mistress in its own.
a rebuke to Woodin and Christian
here is reflection upon the sublime
administration of Mckinley in his
war and financial problems he is so
successfully working out. TO rebuke
these worthy candidates indicates a
want of confidence in Mckinley and
his advisors. This Democratic howl
about "Quayism" is IA contention
calculated to have weight only in
disordered minds. Woodin and
Christian are the peoples candidates
and they are pledged to support the
wishes of their constituents and to
stand shoulder to shoulder in the
support of Mckinley.
Our voters are called upon this
year to decide questions upon which
depends the honor of the Nation for
all time and the prosperity of the
country for many years while de-
velOping its new possessions. No
body is better equipped than he
should be to decide this question. and
yet some are painfully deficient in
the knowledge requisite to an in
telligent decision. Many good
honest men are suffering themselves
to be misled by political healers cry
ing "better government and max
ing allegations which they are un-
able to prove. Hence it should be
the desire of every citizen to learn
all he can bearing npon the real issues
