George Washington Steele went to |Khe Garfield funeral drunk—a free in—and paid his way. The Chronicle tells this to illusGeorges’ economy. ■ The Journal mangled Col. Gray s ■ speech horribly. It would take a $7,- ■ 000 drunk to mix ideas and facts so ■ badly. It hurt the Journal bud as ■ their report made self-evident. ■ W. R. Meyers, Democratic candidate ■ for Secretary of State, is out on the ■ war path. His ipeeches abound in bristling points as sharp as diamonds. ■ He is making an effective canvass. ■ The more civil service reform the ■ Republicans inject into the party man|k agement the more thieveing is indulges edin, and the easier they will slip ■ through the meshes of the law. ■ There is wonderful rejoicing over ■ the Maine election. It only shows ■ hew much the defeat of the Rcpubli- ■ eans by the Democrats and Grcenbaek- ■ ere, at the preceedingelection hurt. ■ Rev. M. M. Gleason, it is said has ■ a happy faculty of turning a Sunday ■ g.hool picnic talk into a Republican I speech. But then a man cannot help ■ talking about his treasures. What he ■ thinks that he will speak. I The Journal is urging various ob- ■ jcctions against Michael McGriff for I Sheriff. Now Bro. Gleason, what R[ would you do in case the same objectII ions stood against the Republican can--11 didate for Sheriff—as a conscientious I man—we mean? I This is George W. Steele's record I on the River and Harbor steal. First, ■ voted against it; befoulded his record ■ by pairing on the veto. Dodged HolI man ’s amendment, and voted for the I monitor steal after it was incorporated I in the Naval Appropriation bill. I The Republicans are claiming IndiF ana’by an increased majority. They I have invited the “plumed knight of I Maine and other big guns to assist in I the campaign, which looks as if their I bragging was more to inspire confidence in the wavering, than the utterance of a prediction that they had faith in. Republican papers are busy circulating the story that Dickson the foreman of the Star Route jury was a Democrat. Whenever the Republicans are guilty of stealing, of ill advised legislation, of a drunken presidential wake, or any thing else mean, they always try to make the Democrats a scapegoat for it. That is part —the most important —next to stealing—of the principles of that party. Rev. Gleason says the Republican party is in favor of prohibition. There are men in his party who says the party is not in favor of prohibition. Gleason was talking to temperance men. The other fellow was talking to those who were not temperance men. The Republican platform says nothing about prohibition —both are off—The party is trying to catch votes —individuals are trying to catch votes. They are making pretensions for the party. The best definition of the Republican tariff is the “diamond tariff". In explanation, diamonds pay a tariff of ten per cent, while the poor man pays 75 to 104 on blankets and such things. From the inauguration of that party in power, when they paid the soldier in green backs ,at that time on an aver age worth half their face, and the bond-holder gold or two dollars for one, their legislation has been deliberately in favor of monopolies and the rieh. The Democratic State Convention was opened with prayer, of which the following is an extract: O Lord! we i beseech Thee save us from the devil. We beseech The save us from the Star Rout thieves. 0, Lord we beseech Thee save us from Republicanism. Some Republican papers think the prayer an act of impieity. It is right to pray for what is earnestly desired. Save us from the devil, Star ; Route thietes, and all other thieves would have been in better form, but it means about the same thing. Some of the masses may be honest, but their prejudices cause them to sustain the party, its crimes and criminals, so that their honesty avails nothing in the ■ emergency. I

The signs of the times indicate that the next Congress will be Democratic. This district wiil be represented in the next Congress by Hon. Joseph S. Daily vice George M • Steele beaten at the polls. The Republican party arc now very anxious to comult the dear people about constitutional amendments. It was not always thus, for instance about the time a Republican legislature adopted the fifteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States. Secretary Robeson has wrecked and stranded the entire American navy. There has been money enough expended on our navy to blow John Bulls navy out of the water, had it been economically expended. As it is. there is not enough of our entire navy to make a respectable target lor the British ship Inflexible. Does a man gain or loose by treating, setting up the intoxicating beverage to the voters who are to decide the question. From the way the Journal j handles the question it is a mortal sin. From thv way some of the Republican candidates are treating it indicates sure defeat not to treat. Perhaps both are right. The Journal is very anxious for a personal campaign—is very aggressive in this dire ction. The Democrat has I been desirous of avoiding it, but if forced upon us will accept the position with the best grace possible. If these personalities and autobiographies, of the candidates should get hot, hotter, hottest, we hope the Journal will not “squeal” but will take its medicine like a little man. Thecause of temperance is debauched in the effortjto prove that the Republican party the champion of prohibition. And that is what every temperance Republican is trying to do. They are not doing anything for temperance, but are howling themselves hoarse with all kinds of schemes to lead Democrats away from their alle giance to party, upon candidates whose election or defeat has nothing to do with either temperance or prohibition. i And these efforts are doing them harm as they will learn when they can gather wisdom from experience. During the Republican rule of twenty years, there has been but one question before Congress for the benefit of those in moderate circumstances and poor people, and that was the penny postal savcings bank proposition, similar to that adopted in England. It was not given more than a passing thought. The River and Harbor steal and bills of a like character only received consideration. Republican leg islation from beginning to end has been for the benefit of the rich only, as a careful examination of congressional legislation in all its bearing will indicate. The Democratic platform proposes to submit the question of the prohibition amendment under the forms prescribed by the constitution and at a general election, and the party declares themselves opposed to the amendment. The Republican party favors the submission of the question and at a special election held for that purpose, and fail to record themselves for or against the amendment. These are the two platforms in a nutshell. If the Democratic party control the legislature, they will be submitted at a general election. If the Republican party control, they wiil be submitted at a special election. Did you ever; Republican papers, say the forman of the Star Route jury was a Democratic bummer, and are trying to crawl out of the failure to convict, and charge it upon the Democratic party? The Republican party is a party of principles. One of their principles is to charge every mean thing they have been guilty of to the Democratic party. The Star Route trial was a farce from beginning Co end. If there was a bad man selected as foreman, he was selected by Republicans to clear the conspirators. lie was probably hired fcr that purpose, paid for it, and did his work according to contract. The Star Route stealing was known at the time it occurred to the Republican ring. It was a wood chuck case. They needed money to carry Indiana. Dorsey as Secretary of the party organization reached out his hand and indirectly took it out of the treasury. Part of it he paid over to the party, but kept the larger portion for himself and co-conspirators. Under such circumstances a conviction was impossible no matter how guilt;.. Party vs Whiskey. The charge that the Democratic party is the whiskey party, and the Republican party the temperance party does not seem to fit exactly. What with the great breweries and whiskey distilleries of the country, who furnishlarge sums of money to the Republi can party for campaign purposes for quite a number of years last past, proves that the capital invested in Jie business is not shrewod, or they would not furnish the means to kill th ir own business, by such contributions. Statistics furnish another odious comparison. Eighteen states voted for . tsarfield and twenty for Ha cock. The i The states that voted for Garfield have

112,915 retail liquor dealers, one to 250 people. The states that voted every for Hancock 57,275 retail liquor deal ers, or one to every 370 people. California and Connecticut while voting for Hancock have Republican State governments, and they lead the list of Democratic states by a large per cent in retail liquor dealers. These figures indicate so far as figures can tell, that whiskey drinking is not a vice of the Democratic party, but the contrary. Like many other claims of superior virtue, honesty etc., made by the Republican party, they are only claims-not proven by facts, and when the evidence is brought to bear to establish the claim, the evidence proves the contrary. Council Proceedings. The City Council met Tuesday night. The criminal ordinances were put upon their final passage. The full text of the same will appear in these colnmns next week. A petition was presentad asking that the city license to retail intoxicating liquors be reduced from SIOO to SSO, and also that retailers pay only for fractional parts of the year, or during the time they sell. The petition was laid upon the table. NOTICE SALE OF DITCH.
