enter a fight. The south and west are
solid for the candidate and the plat
form. The east is solid for the candi-
date and in reflective sense for the
platform that was framed for Democra-
cy in 1896. What the platform at Kan
sas City will be will develop in due sea-
son. 1t will be made up by the dele
gates who are present and will not be
drafted in Washington and forced
through to suit the whim Of boss.
Whatever the action of the convention
as regards platform, it is certain that
New York will be in line. Maryland is
also safe for Democracy, though de-
clining yesterday to endorse a silver
resolution. Mr.. Bryan was endorsed
and the Republican party arraigned
most severely.

ty ought to welcome all Democratic
recalcitrants. They can be very valua-
empire or republic, there ought to
be no quibbling. If we are TO have an
empire, there is no hope for free silver.
five are to have a republic there Is hope
for free silver and a proper solution Of
all other issues raised in the Chicago
platform. SO first we must be sure that
we are to have republic. Losing that
one point loses all. Democrats are get
ting together for victory ana mean to
have 1t. New York is going to be car
ried for Democracy this fall and is go
ing to do her share towards electing
William Jennings Bryan president of
the United States, and Jas. e. Camp
bell. David b. Hill and lot of other
New York Democrats are going to see
that 1t is accomplished. That ought to
be satisfactory. Reforms cannot be
worked from the outside. In order to
remove the rogues in Cuba and other is
lands under United States control, and
establish a free and stable government,
1t will be necessary to remove the per-
sons and influences that appointed them
to office and made possible the wrongs
that have been committed. You cannot
remove them unless you have the votes.
You cannot have the evotes If you are go
ing to give everybody kick who disa-
grees with you on a few notions, though
he agrees with you on others. II right
is to prevail there is no doubt about
the outcome of the election. Mr.. Bryan
would overwhelm his opponent on that
proposition. But the result will proba-
bly, be arrived at in the old way, and
the votes will be counted to see who
wins. If Mr.. Bryan does not win, he
cannot work the reforms that are neces-
sary and cannot save the republic to the
American people. He cannot do any
thing against the trusts, for the Re-
publicans are pledged to uphold these
iniquities, no matter how much agita-
ton there may be from the outside. So,
as stated, the Democrats are getting to-
gether for the fray, and for victory.
Every citizen who is a patriot will do
his best to further that condition. Every
fellow who, at heart, does not want that
condition brought about, will be found
using his influence, his voice. and his
newspaper, IL he has one, to abuse men
who want to come to the assistance Of
the Democratic party in it's effort to
save the republic and deliver the peo-
pie from the influences that are about
to enslave them. There are some So
called Democratic papers that are very
fearful that the Democrats will win.
They are conducting Democratic papers
in disguise, and when they see the
Democrats have a chance to win they
can always be depended upon to raise
a great cry and heap calumny on those
who want the Democratic party to win
and are doing their best to bring it
about.

Secretary Hay is thinking of sending
a few additional instructions to his son.
The young man, when the state de-
partment was painting with thirst for
news, sent a cablegram which said:
"All WE'LL" That was about as satis-
factory as the frequent messages from
Otis that his war was over. 1t didn't
say whether all the British, all the
Beers or all of Young Adelberts re-
tinue were well. The pater in the state
department simply had to suspect that
1t was the British, for the son must
know that so far as the American
secretary of state Is concerned, wher
John Bull is well. all is well.

NEW YORK IN LINE.

The Democrats of New York state
have held their convention and have
added tothe disappointment Of our Re-
publican friends by declaring that the
hope Of the people is in the Democratic
party and that the faith of the country
is pinned to the nomination Of William
Jennings Bryan for president. New
York Democracy, in fact, insisted that
with Mr.. Bryan as a candidate there
was not much need Of further platform.
Every one knows, that hasa thinking ap-
platform for the whole of the American
conscientious man, and his speeches are
so clear and the themes so ably pre-
sented that one of his speeches is a

GETTING TOO ONE-sIDED.

The council and the mayor seem una
BILE to get together on the police ap-
pointments. The mayor simply stands
and makes a demand that four Demo-
cratic policemen be displaced and four
Republican policemen be elected in
stead. Now If all this is for the bet
terment of the service, why are the four
that are to be displaced Democrats and
why are the four to displace them Re-
publicans? If it isn't politics, what
sort of a game is it? Does the mayor
contend that of his entire force only
the Democrats have proven incompe-
tent? Does he insist that no policeman
is good policeman who does not vote
the Republican ticket habitually? And
1t is contended that in all of Can
ton, four persons cannot be found COM
petent to take the places of four Demo-
Gratis save four Republicans? Or is 1t
Just coincidence that so much politics
seems to be injected? We have printed
a number of interviews with the mayor
since he has taken the office and all ten
ded to set forth that he believed in the
merit system. He has frequently inti-
mated that no man should be put off the
force except for cause. Have charges
been filed? Are there any complaints
against these men save that they are
generally reputed to be Democrats? Is
that the mayors conception of the
merit system? 1t is, of course, the sys-
tenn in vogue at the court house, and the
system in vogue where Republicans are
in office elsewhere, and as a matter Of
fact Democrats might as well begin
now, as any time, to understand that
their efforts to keep the service in all
departments up to the standard by re-
tanning men who, by their experience
and conduct. have shown themselves
fitted, are not appreciated. 1t looks as
If the thing were being worked to allow
the Democrats to do the reforming,
where such reforms put Republicans in
office, and the Republicans are to put in
their reform efforts in the direction Of
getting out of Office a few Democrats
that are overlooked when the Demo-
Gratis started out to do the reform act
1t is very evident that there is no dispo-
sition on the part tofRepublicans of in office
to appoint or confirm Democrats to
places, no matter how worthy the ap-
pointees may be if by any manner Of
means Republican can be sneaked in
A little retaliation and Wholesale AK
swinging on the part Of Democrats in
office might be 2 wholesome suggestion
that on the "victor and the spoils" the
ory Democrats can do some execution,
as well as others. We can't see why
Democratic officials should be compelled
each year to display that so-called
spirit of fairness" when there is no
measure Of reciprocity exhibited.

GETTING TOGETHER.

The Democrats are showing the
proper disposition to get together and
there are only few isolated Instances
of loud-mouthed fellows with their
hammers, who imagine that nothing
can move unless they are running the
moving apparatus. Some Democrats
made some mistakes In 1896 and they, or
at least the great majority of them, feel
like rectifying the errors. This was ex-
emplified fully by the Democratic con-
ventions in New York and Maryland.
tions was that William J. Bryan is a
safe man for president and that the
country should be rid of militarism, i'm
perialism and Hannaism. They are go
ing to vote for the Democratic nominees
and have adopted resolutions declaring
that they will support the Democratic
platform. 1t Is admitted that 1t ought
not to be necessary for Democratic
convention to declare that 1t will sup
ally. for that should be a foregone con-
clusion. but conditions have been pecu-
liar. and when eastern Democrats desire
to be good they should be given full and
free opportunity. 1t is all very well to
abuse an Individual, like Ex-Governor
Campbell, for instance, because he did
a he at.4 4. In,
especially after having received 30
many honors at the hands Of his party.
but 1t is not doing any good to the party
to keep up fight against him or any
others who are endeavoring to secure q
less radical platform than was adopted
In 1895. but who have expressed them
selves as pledged to stand ON the plat
form to be adopted and support the can

In that case there are just two things
for the city to do. Either 1t must

or 1t must fix the thing with the Shock
Bros. The Shock Bros. undoubtedly
would not put their pric, very low IL it
came to making terms on such propo-
sition. There is still II way, however.
that the city may get out Of the diff
ficulty, but 1t, too. viii; cost something.
Proceedings may be started to condemn
the water way Of the mill and in that
case a jury would have to be secured
and the case laid before them to decide
how much the city must pay the Shocks
for their right to the water.

The Anti-Saloon league, the w. c. T.
u, the non-partisan branch Of that or
ganization, Rev. p. A. Baker, and Rev.
several others, have made an address to
the public in which they declare that
George sB. Cox should not represent
Ohio on the Republican committee. We
can't see what business 1t is Of these or
gapizations, as organizations, who rep
resents the Republican party anywhere.
What has the Republican party done
for temperance? Or are the Anti-Sa-
loon league and kindred organizations
merely guardians Of the Republican
party? We had one man tell US In
Canton few days ago that the attor-
Aey general Of the United States was a
1ad fellow. but the man who appointed

to be true, and the circulation Of the
