' The prospects of the democrats would be much brighter if the record of the orient House of Representatives could be wiped out. 1 ‘ < Canada dbsen’t like the idea of retaliation ou the part of the United States. Nobody supposed she would. * Harrison and Reid and the Republican party stand for the everything* that patriotic Americans believe in; that, i« why they will be elected.

Since Cleveland’s" nomination; General Listlessness has become the democratic Commander-in-chief. Next November he will he succeeded by general Disaster. The democrats , who. buncoed Xiicle Isaac Gray out of the VicePresidwitial nomination, for revenge, may find that Mr, Gray is an expert at that game. I claim no other credit than'that of having attempted, without sparing myself as to labor, to'discharge public duties conscientiously.— Benjamin Harrison. 4 Americans who are not working for “British Commercial ascendancy” will vote the Republican ticket Ascendancy by oppression of labor is not popular in this country. ". . ttE I have a sincere love for all oar people. 1 exclude no section. I take into my affection and respect all the States and all our people— Benjamin Harrison. The entbusiam over the nomination of Cleveland is all in Europe, where he is recognized as an enemy to American interests. It is , ■f' < # v - -U - Americans, however* that will do the voting. Henry George hit the nail square on the head when- he said that the only reason for Cleveland’s nomination was that herepresented free'trade. That will also be one of the reasons for his defeat. The indications a*re thatthemen who have premised to put-the votes of the Farmer’s Alliance in Kansas and other States where they will most benefit the Democraticparty 1 will be unable to deliver the goods-

The London Post says: A Republican victory’ at the polls iu November would be a blow to the free- trade party in the States and would retard for a considerable period the progress of those sound commercial and economic doctrines which underlie British commercial greatness and alone maintain British commereial ascendancy.

With the same brutal temper and contempt of truth that it pronounced the war for the Union and the Constitutional amendments n ull and void, the Democratic party now denounces and opposes every attempt to secure an honest U&ltefts the South! "In denouncing the so-called “Force bill” the Chicago convention displayed thoroughly characteristic language and temper. Read the plank in question aud note how the bullying insolence of slave days survives iu the Democratic party aud speaks in its platform.

To vote a straight Republican ticket stamp within the square enclosing the eagle at the top of the ballot, aud nowhere else. If any other square is stamped in addition to the large square the ballot will be thrown out. After stamping fold the baljot so as to leave the initials of the poll clerk on the outside and band to the election officers.

The People’s Party nominated their candidates for president and vice-president',‘'at Omaha, Monday. The former is Ex-Congressman, J. B. Weaver, of Iowa; a Greenbacker of many years standing and a calamity-howler of the most eminent degree. For vice-president the candidate is Gen. James G. Field of Virginia,an ex-bohfederate officer. The platform is’not essentially different, from the St. Louis document, but it is prefaced by a preamble which, for wild, insane and malignant ravngs is fully equal to the utterances of the Anachists, previous to the Haymarket massacre, in Chicago.

The “New South” we have'bten hearing so much about does not make itself apparent in the Chicago platform. The same old Bourbon South ruled the roost there; and it was the aame : old South that dominated the Prohibition. convention at Cincinnati last week and forced the adcmtidn of the resolution that rebuked Mrs, Gougar for using i slave-sale incident in, illustrating her speech to the convention I'he same old BonrbonSouth was running things at Omaha too, ! aud don’t you forget it In fact there is only one party in tfhich the loyal northern element is the- controling "factor, and that is the Republican party-

There are Republicans who are in some doubt as to the* kind of legislation needed to Been re- an honest ballot in the South and stop- the prostitution of ©lectio* laws and machinery in that section. They are ready-- to listen so any honest argument or suggestion in regard to thic- matter; but it may as well be understood; at once that they will yield nothing to the bullying spirit and insolent falsehoods-of the Democratic plfctjform in its denunciations of the (“Force- bill.” “Plantation Iners” have been squelched in Congress and it is about time the balllying insolense of slavery should -be omitted from Democratic plat.forms. The ex-rebels have suffered enough by this time-- to know' .that the-North is not to be bullied land that no cause is to be helped in this- country by Democratic curses and falsehoods.

The decision of Congressman Patton-not to be a candidate for re-election is the most sensible act ,of his congressional career. Had he asked for and bsen given this re-nomination, it would have been Tom Wood’s- case over again-. From every part of the district would- have come demands for money, and before the- campaign was ®ver, all-of the Colonel’s savfrom this first session’s salary would have gone info the unappeasable hopper, together with-all he -could mortgage his next win* ten’s'wages for, and when he was turned down by the voters next November; he would.be left poorer than he- was when he was-first nominated—just as was the ease with Tom Wood. Hon. David H. V # (Patton, M. C. and soon again to declining the nomination. “My God,” said Wattergon in his speech in the Chicago oonvention, “is it possible that in 1892 we have to go back for a tariff plank to the straddle o£ 1884?” But it pleased him mightily that the convention took a j unsp instead of a step. The Convention weni back further than was expected and found tEecourageof ita_ convictions in the old tariff declarations of the free* traders who owned labor. The old slave-hold-ers were the men who originated the doctrine, that the Government had no right or power to levy a tariff to protect labor, or do aught else save raise revenue. The Democratic platform echoes the old doctrine of the slave-holding free traders that Congress ,had no right or power to give free Northern labor any legislative privilege over slave labor.
