An American Zollverein.

r few days ago General j. H. Wilson,
of Delaware, delivered an interesting ad-
dress in Chicago, in 9which~h he suggested
that a commercial union Of the United
States with all the other north continent
states and Cuba would be; an effective
check to, any success Of European trade
combination against u.s. There haveSbeen
still more ambitious suggestions of a
zollverein nature than this. =. - 49,

Gated negotiations for a zollverein or
commercial union, which would embrace
every nation on this western hemisphere.
General Wilson would limit the union to

without reference to the case of Dreyfus.
His connection with that case deserves
all the attention which has been bestowed

Johnson Looked for Trouble.

One of the surprises of the election is
the defeat in Ohio of Tom L. Johnson's
democratic candidate for secretary Of
state by a ajority of nearly 100000. Mr..
Johnson had no hope Of victory, but he
was determined to reduce the republican
majority in the last two elections of near
ly $1,000. He would have considered a
reduction of 10000 or 10000 a substantial
victory, but the increase Of the republican
majority to 100000 was a stunning dis
appointment. The overwhelming defeat
is the more surprising in view Of the fact
that Mr.. Johnson made the campaign al
most entirely on state issues, issues that
taken by themselves he probably had the
right side Of. They were issues that
ought to have been popular. Mr.. john
son proposed reform in. the taxation of
railways in Ohio, which is notori6usly too
low, and advocated home rule for cities
as against a. plan that practically puts
all Ohio city governments under control of
the governor Of the state.
But as the campaign developed it be-
came one, largely, of personal popularity
between Hanna and Johnson. in which
Johnson was by no means the, favorite.
Moreover, Johnson courted Waterloo by
his unparalleled defiance of corrupt ring
rule in his own party. No wonder Gin
cinnatf rolled up 10000 majority against
Bigelow for secretary of state, with
Johnson boarding John r. Mclean in his
den in Cincinnati with such words as
these:
despise the Cincinnati Enquirer and
Mr.. Mclean. T do not desire their friend
ship and I heartily invite their hostility.
| There is no room in the democracy for
such men as Mr.. Mclean, and such news
papers as the Enquirer. l want the men
who love true democracy and who labor
for the rights Of the people and not fol
personal and selfish ends to come together
under the standard Of the new democracy
There is no longer any place for these
democrats who are democrats only FOL
! selfish ends, and the sooner the day thai
Mr.. Mclean and the Enquirer are openly
attached to the republican party the bet
ter it will be for the democracy, though
it will be a sad day for the republicans
AS a matter of fact, Mclean has beer
constantly allied with Boss" Cox, ane
| it is partly through the efforts of these
men who disgrace the name Of democrats
! that Cox has become so strongly en-.
trenched in your city.
Without in any way committing our.
selves to general approval Of Tom John
son, his political ideas or methods, we
must say that there is more glory fo1
Johnson defeated in Cincinnati by 30,00'
than there is for Mclean victorious BY
0,000 AS between the two democratic
leaders in Ohio, we Will take johnson
every time.

rHEREPuBLICAN VICTORY.

At Tuesdays election the first clean
sweep in Ford county was made by the
Republicans. The victory won by
putting up a strong ticket to start with.
and by the Republican workers holding
together 1n solid honest work for the
whole ticket. The ma orities were in
creased by many of the democratic voters
giving their support to what they hon
cstly considered the best ticket in the
field. The democratic votes which
swelled the Republican majorities some
what, was a patriotic vote for what those
democrats considered the best interests of
Ford county There are two political
lessons to be gained from Tuesdays To-
cal election. One is that with the right
kind of men the ticket and harmony
in its own ranks, the Republican party is
certain of success in Ford county. The
other is that good men. and only good
men on the ticket is and will be in future
required to draw the support of the vot-
ers of the county.
The Republicans of Ford county
should in their hour of victory enter upon
the firm determination to follow out
these two principals. If they do the po-
litical history of the future be fore
casted to a certainty. If personal diff
ference which may arise ere forced into
the background and honest united effort
is given to the interests of the Republican
party there will be no defeat, unless the
wrong kind of men placed on the
ticket. The candidates elected Office
at the election just over will no doubt by
their official acts strengthen the party.
They owe it to the voters to make Clean
record i'll office, and to give an honest
and economical administration. The
Republicans who elected them and the
democrats who added to their ojorities
expect it of them. The election has
tablished the fact that Ford county has
large Republican majority and it will be
the fault of the Republicans themselves
if they do not keep it.
