Bro.

However, our brother should not feel indisposed upon such trival occasions. ““— — This morning the Fort Wayne Journal printed an illustrated cea- ! tennial edition that was simply a ' marvel of mechanical neatness, and I will be laid away for future reference by every inhabitant of that city. It contained the facsimile of R. ('. Dick Townsend among the list of many others. The Journal simply outdid itself. Sen ■ tob Sherman is just now a severely criticised writer. His recent production reveals that Harrison s presidential nomination was a bargain sale. While all this may he true the corrupting factors who engineered the sale, don’t care about having the matter exposed. It is quite evident that Sherman is evening up a few scores. The board of public works at Fort Wayne had given C. E Evart, of that city, a franchise to build an electric railway over certain streets in that city. The matter was afterwards referred to the city council, who very wisely rejected it. This thing of giving corporations the earth for a song is emblematic of republican jurisdiction; it is dead wrong. Everybody knows that. Candidate Campbell is making onP of the most telling campaigns in Ohio that has ever been inaugurated by mortal man. He has stirred the animals until they are simply squirming ou all fours. Soothing syrup isn’t doing them any good, and we fear for their entire annihiliation. Campbell is the greatest campaigner in the country but then he has had remarkable subjects to work on.

Where They Are At. Tl e clatter ami talk now in vogue fixing the responsibility of the several parties' isinnection with the late McKinley bill is amusing. A little more than iwo years ago, or nlsfUt the time congress was engaged in trying to repeal the Sherman bullion act, every republican politician of note, from Harrison down, wns declaring that nil the ills thut hmi visited the country were due to the fact that democrat* of the regular session then approaching were threatening to re l>eul that recent act of high taxa tion. The fact that immediately after the passage of the bill wages began to dtsrease, and lalmr cease to have employment, was not alluded to by republican congressmen in debate, but a silly vaporing was indulged in to prove that low taxation was ns|s>nsible for all the evils that had come upon the country. The l»en with which the moastro-lty in ee» nomie science was signed was he’d to be a sacred thing, ami our Indiana president was asked if his nerves were steady as he gnisjssl it to write his name. We said two years ago. Five years ago and from that time up until within the last six months every person connected with the administration from 1889 to 1893, save Blaine and a few of his admirers, sang songs in praise of what experience has proved to be the most calamitous piece of legislation over placed upon a statute bsik. Thoughtful people knew a change would come. Men who studied bided their time, but no one anticipated that within so short a period the persons who forced the high-water mark of protection on the people would be soon at each other's ears. What has changed the current! Is it because that all the candidates outside of the state of < >hio have suddenly discovered that protection doesn't always protect; i. e., that making money out of peo pie's pockets doesn't put more in? Oris it possible that Harrison, Reed and Allison, who were just as much responsible for the McKinley act as McKinley himself, have learned something, ami that it will pay after all to hedg<! And it is not like either of the three gentlemen named to hedge, for all of them endeavor to preserve a -how of consistency. It is turn Allison straddles, Reed looks wise and adopts other men’s ideas, and Harrison, when necessary, preserves a discreet silence, but it is not like them to throw stones at their own records; yet they or their friends are doing it. If Sherman was hedging nobody would l>e surprised* That many-, sided statesman can change front oftener than a second class depart meat clerk in Washington and never change countenance while doing it, but the other gentlemen named—well, so far as one of them is concerned it is astonishing. The conclusion of the whole matter is republicans, save a few in Ohio, have learned that the people will not tolerate another McKinley act, but having promised it, they are now endeavoring to find some way ' to redeem their pledges and at the same time avoid responsibility for the evils they have fastened upon the country. As well might they endeavor to restore the Sherman bullion act as the McKinley act of the Firty-tirst congress, and they know it; hence , they now throw stones at each, other and make faces at the signs! of reviving prosperity. And it is not a little singular that in all the discussions now go-1 ing cn, both in the press and on i the stump, not one republican points with pride at the once famous Sherman law? McKinley said in a public speech in Ohio fliat the republicans in the Fifty-1 first congress had given the United | States the l»est law on silver that had ever been framed. Harrison pleaded, after he had signed the bill, to give it time to do its work before condemning it; to try the experiment. Allison contented himself with pointing to bis vote and saying nothing, while Sherman said he had taken the course he had to prevent a free coinage bill at the rate of 1(1 to 1 from be coming a law. Query: Is the lat- I ter declaration true! Would our Indiana man have signed a free coinage bill, at the rate of 16 to 1,1 and let the responsiblity rest with congress? That is the plain inference to be deduced from what the author of the bill has frequently declared. And, strange as it may seem, ex-President Harrison has never called him down for making ! suce a declaration. The twin acts of Harrison' administration, the Sherman “lion (act and the McKinley bill, ■ h to the disgust of the men who ■ frame issues for campaign purposes, are ugly things to look at, J and no wonder the laugh goes round at the men who are rushing I under cover.

A change has come. In 1893 republicans were ls»l<l Hive, in 1894 they were defiant and rode rough shod over everything, in 1893 readv to swear they did not do It. Where will they be in 1896!—-Sentinel.
