The Constitution has good deal to say
this week about the Democratic Doodle
fund, as related in the late election.
Now it is entirely proper for us to say a
few words on that subject for the edifca-
ton of the people generally. AS a matter
of fact, the Democratic Doodle fund.-" was
insufficient to meet the legitimate expenses
of the campaign. In townships that re.
turned large Democratic gains, not single
dollar was placed or expended, and in other
strong Republican townships which return
ed an increased Democratic vote. and re-
duced Republican vote, the Democratic
Doodle fund ranged from SIS to $4O-a sum
insufficient to pay team hire for bringing
out aged and infrm voters not provided
with conveyances
Now, Just a word as to the Republican
Doodle fund OF course we havn't exact
figures, but on authority more or less
valuable, are informed that it amounted to
sum equal to almost So for each vote
polled for the Republican Senatorial candi-
date-$3,OOO by first invoice and $1,000
the week before election.
Now, as to source of Doodle. The De-
mOcraey has not an Office holder in the
nation or state, who can be asked for poll
teal contributions; that is apparent to
everybody, while the Republicans fry the
fat out of every state offices, every national
official, every corporation and every Trust
The $40, 900 that the LoudensIager- Bar
Der ring distributed in this county came
largely from the corporations and Trusts,
every dollar Of which had already been
filched from the people in increased prices
of necessities. The postmasters had
previously been assessed by Mckinley g
state chairman to save Ohio
All this suggests one question IF the
Trusts can expend $4,000 to elect one
state Senator, how much is the holder of
three offices expected to contribute, either
in badly mixed newspaper ink or cash, to
retain one of three offices. Editor Barber
can answer this problem without straining
his intellect, hence we confidently await
his next issue.

The Late Elections.

When the returns of the late election in
this county are viewed two weeks after the
election, in the hight Of official returns and
comparison with previous years, but one
deduction can be made. and that is that
the Democracy has achieved signal vic
tory. Not victory in the sense of the
success of our nominees, but victory in
showing that further education on lines
laid down, will revolutionize the politics oil
this county, as, indeed, it will OF the entire
country. The people of this county are op
posed to HannaIsm, as locality exempliied
by the Loudenslager- Barber Ring OF
Bosses; the people are opposed to Trusts
that are moDopoIzing all lines of pro-
ductiYe industry, increasing prices of all
commodities of general consumption, and
narrowing the avenues of trade. They are
opposed to militarism and large standing
army they are opposed to the purchase OF
100000 alien people at So head, and the
formation of colonial governments; they
are opposed TO the United States making
entangIing alliances with foreign powers
in fine, the people are opposed to tramp
ling the Constitution in the dust, and en-
tering upon career abhorrant to it and
every tradition of the Republic.
Thus encouraged, the Democracy must
at once prepare to wage the contests of the
future. and meet the expectation of those
whose assistance has been thus freely
rendered.

There are multitude OF indications that
the people are awakening to the true
National issues, and none have come with
more force than the change of tone of the
gold standard Democratic press. We quote
the following article from yesterdays True
american:
Those Republican newspapers which
are trying to meet coming political issues
by personal criticisms of Mr.. Bryan's
methods of speech and action, and by in.
yoking the shades of the free silver issue
will have their labor for their pains.
THE great broad common sense of the
American people was never questioned and
has been seldom so fully demonstrated al
in the criticism of their management of the
recent war, and in their determination tina,
whether it will be well conducted, or i'll
it must be pushed to successful con.
clusion.
THAT common sense tells the American
people that whoever may be present. OF
whatever the form of currency, the great
existing and pressing danger of the Re
public lies in the power of corporate capital
to unite into monopoies TO crush the peo-
pie by unwarrantable prices; to contro
their labor by the singleness of their power
to discharge and employ, and to buy cleo
lions, and Legislatures and Congress aut
the executive branches Of government. by
their influence with small percentage o
their unjust profits.
"Before this danger, ever present. and
ever growing, all other governmental ques
tions fade into nothing.

than their debauchment by the very none,

Twenty-sixth regiments, moved from
Iloilo last Thursday to 0tton, six miles
west, for the purpose of capturing
Santa Barbara, the rebel stronghold,

were in places impossible. The same
night Colonel Carpenter, with the
Eighteenth regiment and Battery G.
Of the Sixth artillery, moved westerly
from Jaro to connect with General
Hughes. Colonel Carpenter was forced
to return to Jaro on account Of the
roads, and the entire movement was
hampered by lack of proper transporta-
ton. Company G, of the Twenty sixth
regiment, lad the only fighting. When
three miles out of Jaro this company
charged the rebel trenches and three
of the enemy were killed One Amer
lean was wounded.
