Keehn of Chicago, delivered at the demoeratic love fosst at Albion iast Friday. While we do not subscribe to all that Mr. Keshn says {n the main his ad. dress 18 a splendid presentation of the pesition of the younger and viril democracy. His exposition of the so ealled trust methods aud his protest acaingt the domiuation of the party by politieal prostitutes of tne Sullivan type are worthy of the careful consideration of every demiocrat. Mr. heehn believes in the demosratic party, a party of the people, and not as the personal assots of any man or aetof men. The speech is well worth & careful perusal It is au able and comprehbensive presentation of exceilent political doctrive’ : . S 8 BRs . _ - Thera is a lot of hypocrisy among the managers of the Anti-Saloon league. They are telling the public that they propose to keep this organizatian out of politics. Mr. Nicholson, who is now one of the state superin. tendents in Pepusvivania, and who is the author of the Nicholson law in this ftate, 18 abont to give up his Pennsylvanin position to take up his permanent restdence in Washington, for the express purpose of controlling creating and keeping in absolute touch with Apti-Saloon league and pro hibition legislation. Of course they will be in politics and they will keep thedr question in politics ae long as they cean find au ally in the old parties. In democratic counties these fellows are very active in their endeavor to pick legislative candidates that are satisfactory and in republican counties they are as zealous in their work in the same direction. This is what they call Keeping out of polities. )

Mr. Shunmaker, of the Anti-Saloon league, continues to fill much space in the republican papers, especially in the News and Star at lodianapolis, with bis talk about being non-partizan and out of politica, He has been 1o almdadst absolute control of the republican party eince his alliance with Mr. Hanly in 18, In the last campaign he did not besitate to show his hand He used all of his energies and the force of his organization to defeat the democratic state ticket and the democratic x'aixdldalen for the legislature. Now he says that he proposes to exert his influence in selecting democratic candidates for the legislature. He has an abundance of perve to suppose that he can come over into the democratic party and dictate democtatic nominations. 1f he is Jooking for a legislature that will “do what we want' as he expresees it, he had better confine his activities to the republi_ can and prohibition parties. Democrats should nominate candidates for the legislature who are Democrats, Democrats who are not afraid to admit thatthey are Democrats, and Democrats that are not better than their party or afraid to go into a democratic legisiative caucus. : S One - : If a democratic senator had made the assertion that the administration Was costing the people $300,000.000 too much every year, republican papers all over the country would have called him a liar and a demagogue to boot: but coming from Senator Aidrich, the most powerful and influential republican in the senate, the statement has failed to elicit & word from 99 per cent of the republican papers of the nation. They have not attempted to deny it and they bave not had the courage to.urge the senator and his colleagues to endeavor to bring about the saving. Not only does Senator Aldrich hold that the country is being held up to the extent mentioned, but he asserts also that duplication of work in the different departments is costing the country $100,000,000 a year. These are statements of a mnan who is practically at the head of the administration—a man who has more to do with the shaping of the policies ‘of President Taft than any other half dozen men at Washington. It is not on record that Aldricl. ever opposed any of the spproprlstions for any of the departments or that he ever endeavored to head off the extravagance of which he now complains; for that reason his statements about the extravagance in vogue are the more remarkable, and it is not strange that they startled his associates and dumbfounded his republican colleagues. The charge of extravagance is the strongest that bas ever been made and men in all walks of life in all parts of the country are marveling at it. With such a condition it is indeed time for jthe voters to make a chauge. The republican party bas increased the office holding class in every department of the service to such an extent in excess of the actual needs that the burden upon the people is entirely too great. Any thoughtful man can see that this is the case by studying conditions in his own immediate county or district, and it is time for something to be done to eliminate the evils which exist and put the departments bsek] on & conservative business basis.—Columbia City Post. : -

Ihe firet meeting of the day was Held ar the coutt Louse when County Chairman George 1. tiaby by virtae of his office, onlled the new county cantiiittos to order.

A roll of the precivects was called and every member of the committe present seconded the pomiuation of Mr. Gabv.

He thanked the members of the old eom. mittee for the excellsnt support dur iug the eampaign of 1%8 and asked the hearty and active ea-opertion of the new committee. He paid a high compliment to the demoeratic papers of the county and advised & more liberal support of the papers by the members of the party.

The baoquet hall and the opera house was an inepiring scene at the openiog hour of the big meeting. The spacious room was taken up with long tables upon which were Inid 260 plates and at an early hour every seat was taken and at least two score of demoorats had to wait for the second table.

Mr. Redmoad gmvn complimented the Democaats { of Noble county upon the splendid ggntlmrmg. He spoke of the growling responsipilities of American Ecitizenshtp and declared that re{mains for the democrats to rescue {the American government from the f; hands of & party whose leaders have iproved recreant to the faith and | traitors to their trust. He declared | that the party “is the party of the %ipecial privileges, it is the party § that permits the few to exploit the J'American people under the deceit. ful cover of the law, * A party whose extravagance and mismanagement of the government has brought from its foremost lead'er a confession in the Senate as damaging a 3 any disclosure in the annals of crime.” *With its congress upon its knees and its president the pliant tool of the interests, it is wringing from an overburdened and outraged people the denunciation and condemnation it so richly deserves.” “With the damaging disclosures already in evidence, the finger of accusation was never leveled against a guiltier culprit at the bar. If you ‘will look beyond the dust of republiean mismanagement you will behold the democratic party with solid compact ranks advancing to the certain ard viotorious fields of November. . ~ Mr. Redmond paid a merited com-. pliment to Hon.
