"The 'ahorer is worthy of hi:
hire" What did the Democrats
pay for party work in Vermont
Hints have been made that the
Democratic Chairman Tagger,
should retire, because he is not OF
national reputation. Leaye him
alone and lie will be.
The gold standard element of
the Democratic party was in a
hopeless minority in the St. Louis
convention. The majority of the
Democrats of the nation stand on
the platform which silently en-
dorses the free silver plank of the
Kansas City convention.
Democratic chances might be
brighter if the wage earners of the
nation did not have such good
memories.
If there is Il single trade or in
dustry in this country that is in
jured by the tariff system, the
Democratic party has not been able
to point to it.
In supporting Parker in the East
and the Populist ticket at home
Mr.. Bryan is attempting that al
ways difficult feat of riding two
horses going in different directions
at the same time.
1t seems hopeless task to re-
concile the Democrats who propose
to support their platform to those
who insist upon supporting the
candidates.
One Of the strongest obstacles in
the way Of II. Gassaway Davis
success in West Virginia is the
thriving conditions of the State
which have been built up under
Republican policies.
President Roosevelt has convinc-
ed the country of his honesty,
courage and capacity. His oppo-
nent is still an unknown quantity.

Congressman Robb was to have
opened his political campaign in
Potosi last Monday, but failed to
appear. 1t is stated that on ac-
count of its rottenness the State
board Of health would not allow
him open it, although in the con-
genial atmosphere of Democratic
lclitics in this county the decayed
condition of Mr.. Robb's campaign
might easily have passed unnotieed.

The Republic SAYS that the Il,

The Republic says that the Re-
publicans in this state will have
lots of money to spend in the CAM
paign this year, and that the boys
in the country will be taken care
of. We hope that this is true; not
that we endorse the use of money
in the eleetions, but we find that
when the devil must be fought it
ia best to fight him with fire. In
this county the Republicans have
heretofore been short on fire and
the devil has had everything nearly
his own way.

Booze and Doodle politics in this
county have had much to do with
creating an anti saloon sentiment
and the closing of two out of three
saloons in Potosi. The saloon
mans best interests do not lie iu
abetting such political methods.

If Mr.. Folk has not gone into
cullnsion with that clement of the
Democratic party which he fought
so tenaciously before he was nomin-
atcd, what has become of his war
upon the state ring and it's Indian al
lies in St. Louisl Why, after all
MIR. Folks hullabaloo about the
Indian outrages against himself ip
St. Louis and at Clayton last
spring. was the prosecution of
those indicted ns having participat
ed in these outrages against the
free exercise of citizenship, over
which Folk and his friends were
so incensed at the time, ended in u
complete fizzle. Folk, as prose
cutting attorney as we'll rs candi
date for Governor, seems to have
laid down to his former foes. An
Interested public would like for
Mr.. Folk to explain his present at
titude in regard to the state ring
and its Indian contingent. The
way we figure it ont is that the In
dians are going to help Mr.. Folk
out at the polls in November by
slugging ,Repnblican voters who
would vote for Mr.. Walbridge,
and this slugging of Republicans
our Democratic friends, Mr.. Folk
included, hold to be a legitimate
paslime of the Indians on election
day. MIR. Folk was against the
ring and the Indian outrages only
until he had hoodwinked the de.
cent element of his party nito giy-
ing him the nomination for Cover
nor, and then abandoned that ele-
ment to get the aid of the plug
uglies at the polls.
