Kite JJcmocrat >. tIIOKKVKN, Proprietor. |dWMl>2r, JULY 1. 1892. B. Who will be the first to organlee a Cleveland and Stevenson club? t The convention is over and the ilcki tis nominated. Now let ever} Democrat get to work and elect it. esx-.-a. =y. K Henry Georoe says that Cleveland will not be elected by a narrow majority, but by a landslide. B - - » - - I It will be President Cleveland af )r,r the 4ti> of next March. Ihe ex will be dropped and Harrison will pick it up and prefix it to bis name. The Democratic national platform is a model of excellence, and no conscientious man can go back I on it, even the rankest of Republicans. B It is believed by the friends of the People’s party that the candidates who are to be nominate at »' Omaha, will carry the electoral votes of several states. The Republicans may enter this campaign with as much vim and • vieror as thev please, but the Force bill will hang about the neck of their presidential candidate like a mill-stone. W. J. Campbell, of Illinois, is Clarkson’s successor. Campbell will manage Harrison’s campaign this time as Clarkson was not the choice of the president. Perhaps Harrison remembered Clarkson’s position at Minneapolis. y We would suggest to congress that the prevailing dampness is fcShtlicient reason for discontinuing, - the appropriation for the rainmaker’s experiments. If there is any necessity for getting rid of the inoney appropriate it to build an ark. . ■ Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Blaine are both carrying around beautiful black eyes. Gladstone was hit with a piece of ginger bread thrown by a woman, but Blame was struck by a big hunk of “bread and butter” shied with unerring aim by one B. Harrison . J J"- 1 ’!.! 1 . 1 11 ' - * And Whitlaw Reid accepted the presidential nomination too! Well, f well, who’d have thought it? If he isn’t requested to leave the ticket before the campaign is over, the Republican party will suffer one of the greatest defeats ever known in political history. Cleveland 'and Stevenson is a ticket that will inspire confidence in the business community and inj spire the gallant hosts of Democracy ’ with enthusiasm everywhere, and / when November rolls around the | ballots for that ticket will fall into | the box in simply overwhelming , numbers. The Tiepublican state convention |. was ushered in last Tuesday morn- | b y exceptionally cold weather ■ or summer. The chilly breeze which the Republicans experienced & on that day is nothing considering I the goldniss’ which -they will rere ceive at the hands ot the people I next fall. TiißToledo Bee says that Chguncy b De Pew declines the office of secrets lary of state ostensibly because it is I' too much of a financial sacrifice, but riallyj because lie does not want a | job that promises to run out next | March. President Cleveland will B have no use for Chauncy. Ex-Senator John (1. Ingals, of I Kansas, says that from a Republic Knu standpoint the political borizoi Kis not entirely clean from clouds Kile concludes a short talk by say Ring that the Republicans “must * Vttch very circumspectly to make lOjheir calling and elections sure.” Yes c M'• Ingals, the Republicans must B D>t forgot to walk a little more re | tip •Hull} a 'Acila.s < ii\ tly . _„y ; —

It is said that the cause of the division ot the Indiana delegation on the tariff amendment was due to the fact that they understood the question to be the substitution of Mr. Patterson’s silver amendment. Os course all Indiana Democrats favor tariff reform in its deepest, longest and broadest significance. The more intelligent part of the Republican party can see clouds in the political horizon. They can see that it is going to be hard to hold the western states which are noted for agriculture. Protection does not mean much to the western states this year. A new scheme will have to be worked to hold these people this fall. The delegates to the Republican state convention at Fort Wayne last Tuesday were loud in their praise of the hospitality of the cilizens of that city, but think they will need two saw mill sheds the next time they have a state convention. We would suggest that Monmouth has i good large saw mill shed that can be had very cheap. Odd, isn’t it? When the foreigner pays the tax” and protective duty lowers the price of goods to the consumer that by special acts, duty is removed from articles on special occasions like the rebuilding of flooded Jonstown. Why is this done? And why is a rebate paid the manufacturers, equal to the tax on the imported raw material he uses, if the other fellow has paid the tax and his goods are 1 cheaper m consequence? / Governor Flower nobly says: “la union there is strength and with strength alone can success be obtained. We forget fractional feeling and will work earnestly for Cleveland.” Wise decision. What would any faction of the Democracy gain by opposing the nominee of a regular Democratic convention? Cleveland’s election without New York would forever set aside the state—no longer “Empire.” Cleveland will be elected and New York would better be “in it.” “Distance lends enchantment to the scene.” When Benjamin Harrison lived in Indianapolis he could never find time or inclination—he had never told which—to attend the reunions of his old regiment, but now that he resides in Washington, and is anxious to continue to reside there four years longer, he finds both time and inclination to come a thousand miles for the purpose of greeting his old comrades in arm. It’s really wonderful how the average Republican’s love for the old soldier revives when be gets a nomination for office. Ried’s attitude towards labor is the exact condition of the Republican party towards labor. The only difference Ried had the moral courage to speak his convictions. While the Republican party is always ready to promise the laborer anything for bis vote and deceive him if possible, they never fail to cater to the men whom they can bleed for campaign purposes, but the laborer must look out for himself. lie always has the promise of the g. o. p. to fall back on but not even that with Ried if he belongs to a Union. In the Republicen state platform adopted at Fort Wayie, last Tuesday they say: “We pledge ourselves to enact such amendments to the present tax law as wiM relieve the farm and the home trom the unjust taxaim now imp sed upon them.” 0 They did not dare to ask or say that they would repeal or create a new law that would better the conditions of the tax burdened people, well kuowning that our present tax law is the very best we ever had on our statutes. While they have done everything in their power to make i the law odious, they. did not, when . in convention assembled, dare to - ask for tfee repeal of the law that t outside of any legal body they will 5 declare must be wiped from our , statute book. t 1 hey dared not declare they - would repeal any of the laws they . have dcnoiincid. All they did was

t. reaffirm what the Democratic p irty had pledged itself to do, | lltJ end the laws where needed. But Ivw laws are passed but what require some changes, and that is what the Democrats will do with the tax I iw. T he Republican editors who had been counting on getting some satisfaction from the Indiana Democratic papers in the event of Cleveland’s nomination are meeting with a grievious disappointment. Every Democratic paper in the state is right in line for the ticket and is already doing good work for Cleveland and tariff reform. The Indiana Democracy is proud of its newspaper organs, and it has good reasons to be, tor no state in the union has an abler or more loyal press than Indiana. It never shirks a duty, and is never found giving anyi hing more comforting to the enemy than the hottest kind of hot shot. TARIFF NUTS TO CRACK. Why kin Canada farmers buy United States plows for less money than we loyal nefews of Uncle ' in kin. If McKinley’s high tariff law makes things cheaper for weuns why are is thet I kin by an Engglish Bible afore it lans et theU. S. Custom house for 14 that costs me $5 artei it passes thru thetariff net? the duty on thet Bible ar sl. Who pays it? I hev a nefew out side of our coast thet has a bully Sheffield razor; it cost him $1.20. I got me one gist like it, but gosh darn it all, I paid $2.20 —84 per cent more, an thet is the amount of the tariff. Say, boss, who pays this tariff biznez? My aunt lives gist out side the U. S. She has a shawl thet cost her $6. My Mady has one like it thet cost me $8.40. The tariff is gist the difference between them prices. Who pays the tariff? My uncle who in Canada hes a sute of close thet cost him $24 over thar. Bim has a sute made in St. Joe gist like em thet cost him $38.30. The tariff on sich close is 60 per cent and didn’t Bim pay it? Imported sugar used to be taxed 2| cents a pound. Sum time ago the tax was knocked off by congress and the sweet otuff cum in free. Now, fokes, why did the sugar I by fall gist 2-J cents a pound the very day thet the 2| cents a pound wasf knocked off? Now layin aside all jokin, pard, who pays the extras tucked on to the things thet we must have, by this glorious tariff law, the manufactors, dealers or the poor cusses who uses em? After ye have answered this onest and squar I hev a few more nuts for ye to crack. Buck Brady. “ THIRD PARTYISM. The aggregated grievances of the people which found victory in political appeal in Kansas and South Carolina, two years ago have stimulated the work of third party or new partyism. Like the boy’s snow ball it has rolled into large proportions, and the discordant elements promise to combine into intelligent expression at the Omaha convention, to be held next week. Very likely Judge Walter Q. Gresham, of the United States circuit court, will be nominated for president. In the present campaign his personality will stand for more votes than the cause itself. He is a representative American citizen, a Republican, who, as the Republican candidate for president, would command greater support 1 than Benjamin Harrison. His nomination at Omaha will signify the disintergration of the Republican party. If he does not carry a state this year he will receive so many Republican votes in several states as to lose them to the Republican candidate. The movement may throw the election into the House of Representatives, which means the election of Mr. Cleveland. The industrial problem is felt by the individual and is no less an issue now than was slavery before the way between the states. The issue will be determined by the battles of ballots, and no less potent and far reaching in results than the battles of bullets. The immediate result will be the destruction of the party that is directly responsible for the conditions which oppress industry and disgrace American civilization. Through the discussions ol the new party and the destruction of the Republican party the principles of the confederation of states into the republic, and the landmarks of freedom, and liberty of man,

eternal principles ot Jeffersonian Democracy, must stand out in bolder clontvi, beuei’ I‘ehef. All that is g< ,-.d m g< vornnH’iit springs from Deiuwnwy, and the closer it is identified with the prin<“iples of the makers of the government the better for the country. All that has been and is foreign to American institutions is combined in the opposition, hence it is that at irregular periods the opposition re-forms on new lines, and approaches the fountain* head of free, fair and honest government for inspiration for the individual and the mu>es. Not sufficiently progressed to adopt unadulterated and undefiled Democracy, yet getting back closely to first principles and starting out with bright banners of hope and promise and expectation, th™ party commences its work. Democracy alone and only lives in this country, unchanged and unchangeable. Its teachings are the essence of freedom, the life of creation itself. Third partyism will help Democracy this year. THE PRESIDENTS BY COMPARISON. This is the first time in the history of the republic that two men who have been presidents are opposing candidates for the same office. Necessarily the discussions of the campaign will turn upon their respetetive administrations. Whatever has been done by either party, in congress, by office holders, individually or as a class, will be charged to the account of the president, and, as the chief of his party, he will be held responsible. The campaign will be one of comparisons, and the people will be able during the next four months to decide which of the two candidates, and which of the two political parties, is the better to administer the government ot the United States. This situation is just what the Democrats desire. The policies, principles and purposes of the parties must be discussed, and the appeal to the millions of voters must obtain a verdict of fairness. There are subjects, and subrdivisions of subjects, enough to occupy the whole campaign. American politics will be bettor for discussion. Upon the sectional question the Cleveland administration will present a record ot unexampled prosperity and progress, and the upbuilding of the reconstruction south. Against this the Republicans will present the issue of the force bill, the most infamous and un-American measure of recent politics. Upon the land question the Cleveland administration will present the honest endavor and the accomplishment of reclaiming millions of acres of the public domain to actual settlers. Against this the Republican party must defend its record of giving away more acres than all tbe occupied farms in the United States, and the absolute neglect of thiwsubject by the Harrison administration. Upon the tariff question the land administration presents the effort, through the medium of the Mills bill, to revise the customs taxes in the interest of home industry, expansive trade and individual benefit of equalized and fair laws. Against this the Republican party must stand upon the McKinley law, which was made by tbe classes tor tbe classes; for the monopolist, and against the consumer. Upon the financial question the Cleveland adminis ration presents the balance sheets of an overflowing treasury, which the Republicans must meet with depleted vaults and fake balances to prevent an approach to government bankruptcy. Upon the question of civil service tbe Cleveland administration shows an honest intention of making a public office a public trust, against which the Republican party shows the unparalleled example of a Cabinet officer posing because of the money he paid to elect Mr. Harrison, and the sacrifice of the offices upon the alter of party greed. Upon these and other questions the discussions will be sharp and decisive. There will be little need to go to platform platitudes for forecasts of what the parties will do. It is a question of what they have done—what the candidates, each of whom has ; been president, will do, judged by what they have done. Upon this 0 * feature of the campaign the Democrats take up their work with confidence in result, and invite the most thorough discussion. The mud. slinger is out of a job. It will be a campaign of

company anfl oontraMa, aaq aring of methods by principles, a recurrence to the best work of the political parties, a campaign of uuucation —Toledo Bee. i 'IHERE will be one prominent feature in the coining campaign. All tbe little personalities which characterized and disgraced American politics in former elections, will be things of the past in the coming presidential contest of 1892. No doubt but the characters of the nominees have a great deal to do in purifying political fights. Both parties may feel proud of their nominees as far as manhood and intelligence are concerned. We consider Benjamin Harrison and Whitlaw Reid fair representative* of tbe doctrines and principles of the party with which they are so closely identified. The same may be said of the Democratic standardbearers. We think that there are defects enough in the the teachings ot our opponent to justify us m making an open and honorable tight along the line of reform. A few people argue that this is the tbe best government on earth and by considering this to be true, they conclude that we should let well enough alone. But all is not well enough. We have not reached perfection yet and as long as there is room for improvement we will glory in seeing dissatisfaction w’i n it is accompanied with a manly feeling and an .honest endeavor to become better. We feel perfectly sate in entrusting the task of selecting presidential candidates t.o the delegates who are appointed to do the work in accordance with the principles of their respective parties. No doubt but that the Minneapolis and Chicago conventions have nominated four standard bearers that are worthy of the honor which their respective parties have conferred upon them. We do not dislike Harrison as a man, and we do not believe that the Republicans harbor any antipathy against Grover Cleveland either.* When we say Republicans, we do not mean the slums and brainless portion of the parly. We are perfectly aware that there are men in both organizations that if their fellow man was to pause long enough to weigh their brains in the light of intelligent action that they would not tip tbe beam to twenty ounces when the average is above fifty and has been known to reach sixty-four ounces. Not a few people are too - pious to study the political issues of the day yet they go to the poles time after time and cast their ballots to aid in deciding issues of which they know but little about. We have too many people who do not read enough. Ask them a question about our government or about the doctrines of either of our leading parties and they will readily tell you that they do not take any interest in politics, but they have their sentiments and vote them. We are puzzled to know how a man can have an opinion about a thing that he knows nothing of. It would be just as absurd for an inexperienced hand to take hold of a knife and attempt to perform a surgicAl operation as for you to close your eyes against political truths and then go to the polls and aid in deciding a political contest that you know nothing about. If you do not make politics a study and attempt to acquaint yourself with the political issues of the day, you should not allow your love of liberty and enthusiasm to carry you beyond reason and cause you to aid in binding your fellow citizen to a fate you fcnow not. During this campaign you should study tbe political issues of the day and if you conclude that protection protects and that the “Force bill” enforces justice, then vote that ticket. We believe that the force bill itself contains enough demerits to justify the defeat of any candidate that advocates stjeb. a doctrine. It contains a poison'that is as deadly to free institutions as the bite of a serpent or the sting of an adder. It is a dagger thrown at the heart of freedom. Its aim is to destroy the freedom that our forefathers sealed with their life’s blood. The above will justify the defeat of President Harrison. If this is a free country we must have freedom. If this is a government of the people, and by the people, we must rely on the peo pie.
