Another congressman, this one from
the West declared that this showed
the hand of Chautauqua and that the
East had overlooked the Importance

years La Toilette and Champ Clark

progressive views have been address

their new and popular reforms, until
they have built up an amount of pub

GROVER CLEVELAND.

The death of Grover Cleveland re-
moves from life one of the greatest
characters of the American nation.
The rancor created by his policy when
president has long passed away and
the nation today regards him as an
honest man who tried to do his duty
as a public official and future history
will accord to him an even fuller need
of praise than today.
Probably no man in public Of1be
created such a furore as Cleveland
in the presidential chair, all because
when he decided upon course he be-
lieved to be right he refused to change
such policies even under the greatest
of pressure. He might have resorted
to the practices of a politician and
kept the Democracy in power for many
years but he acted as he believed for
the best for the nation and preferred
to suffer cefeat and the defeat of his
party rather than deviate from what
he believed the proper path. No great
er proof of the nigh principle actual
ing him need be shown than the fact
that his policies did bring about his
defeat anda the termination of the
Democratic party's control of the gov.
eTnmeut.
Cleveland was typical of the prin-
eiplos that have made the Democracy
live as long as the government De
feat does not crush such a man nor
does it crush a party. After the bit
terness of disappointment passes away
full justice is done and merit though
tardy becomes a priceless heritage
that cannot be purchased or won by
favors.
OF Cleveland ii may be said that he
was & strong man who fully represent
ed a strong party, Strong in all that
goes to make a sovereign American.
The nation is a gamer by his life and
Ais example.

A WARNING TO eRAFTERs.
columbus Press Post.)

By his own admission in court
Fred ]. Immel was dishonest official
in the service of the people of Co
lumbus. Having made no defense of
his official conduct no defense can
be made for him by friend or by
counsel.
When he went into the public ser
vice no man in Columbus was more
popular, none had the confidence Of
the people more universally than Fred
Immel. He was known as Honest
Fred" and his earliest service gave
substance to that appellation. But
he fell victim to the wiles that be-
guile and tempt and finally corrupt
all who depart from the honest and
straightforward pathway in positions
of public trust.
The blow falls heaviest, however,
on the innocent and most unhappy
victims of a higher trust and a more
sacred confidence. For the family
there can be nothing but the most sin
cere, most heartfelt sympathy. Theirs
is the double portion of keenest hu-
initiation and bitterest woe. Speak
none but kind words into these aching
hearts so desolate now of all save
natural love.
1t is too late for the sake of this
stricken family TO moralize on Fred
Immels self-confessed crime against
the public. Let those who have acri-
mony and malice in their hearts gloat
over the downfall of any man. But
it is not too late, in fact it is the
opportune moment to point to this
domestic catastrophe as a lesson and
a warning to all who enter the public
service.

MR.. eRYAN's CHANCE.

William Jennings Bryan has made
short and complete work of the lying
fulsome and evasive Republican plat
form. But the Denver convention
promises to be even more to Mr..
Bryans mind and liking than the
Chicago convention was to Roose-
velt's, for not only will he probably be
the nominee, but as such he will be
naturally much consulted in the maxi
ing of the platform. Under ali the
circumstances, therefore, Mr.. Bryan
has now the greatest opportunity in
his life to advance not only his own
ambitions, but the welfare of the peo-
pie" says the Pittsburg Post
THE Democrats will do we'll to
study the Republican platform that
they may make theirs what the Chi
cago offering is not. To meet plati-
tude with platitude, accusation with
with accusation, vagueness with
vagueness, is to attack the Re
publicans on their own ground. The
Democrats will do well to be brief, ex-
plicit, clear in their platform, to strike
boldly at the gigantic evil of the tariff
as being a denial of the equal-rights-
to-all-special-privi spirit
of our institutions and as the source,
direct and indirect, of all the eco
nomic evils under which the country
staggers now. The Democratic can
didates should be pledged to expedite
the administration of the laws With
out fear or favor, so that the conf
dence in our institutions, so sadly i'm
paired by the Republican inactiOn and
by the hysterical preaching of an er-
ratio and spectacular president may
be restored. The Denver platform, in
marked contrast to the Chicago eva
sion. should pronounce for what it
favors in phrases so simple that all
may understand, and understand in
only one way. On such a platform
the reunited Democracy may conf
IDENTIFY appeal to the conscience. pa
triotism and judgment of the country
to sweep out of power those who are
so shamefully misusing it and who
have brought distress upon it,"

According to reports received from
Columbus the supreme court will on
Friday hand down its decision in the
case brought by Sheriff Wilson be-
fore that tribunal in order to get a
final Interpretation of the statute
which apparently prohibits county
treasurers and sheriffs from serving
more than four years in any six. 1t
is understood that the decision will
favor Sheriff Wilson as in the case
of the prosecuting attorney OF Frank
lin county against Sheriff Karb, which
is similar to the Wilson case in al
most every respect, the court held
that there were no grounds for the
action. This will mean that Sheriff
Wilson will be the Republican candi-
date for reelection this fall. Wheth-
er he will be able to Withstand the
Democratic landslide is a different
question as the indications at the
present time point to the election OF
the entire Democratic ticket this fall.
