democratie retrogression. "Our rnoney should be as national as Qur flag."- Gov. McKinley. Tammany has given Cleveland a new appellation : " Man-afraid-of-his-platform." "UghJ It has been wisely suggested that Grover Cleveland get a divorce froin David B. Hill on the ground of failure to support. If an attempt was ever made by a living soul to prejudice one section of the country against the other that attempt is being made by Adlai Stevenson in the South. Jlr. George Ticknor Curtis, of New York, the most eminent authority in the ITnited States on constitutional law, withdraws from the free trade party in no uncertain way. Read his letter in another column. Senator Voorhees, of Indiana, said in a speech at the national democratie convention held at Chicago in 1892 : "I am sure it will be folly to nomínate Cleveland, for cannot carry his own state." Mr. Cleveland was nominated. When Judge Morse is making his plea for state rights he should remeinber that it is only some 30 years since that doctrine came near swamping tliis country. There are hosts of men in Washington, D. C, to-day who remember it and really the Judge himself ought not to forget it. The meeting of the Republican League of the U. S. at Buflalo last week was a great success, thirty-seven states and two territories being representec by over 700 delegates. Gen. Clarkson was re-elected president and Hon. E. P Allen as Michigan's member of the executive committe. A signifiicaiv feature of the convention was the presence of a large body of college men from the college clubs, who enthused the convention with their songs, yells and speeches, Gov. McKinley filled the im menso academy of music with an audi ence which was highly pleased with the unanswerable arguments of protection's high priest. The Indianaliag's a corker, (ou the democruts,) And so's hls mate. the bright Kew Yorker. " Gov. Winana was right when lie vetoed tlie Grand Army appropriation l.ill. "-Candidato Morse at Detroit last Thureday evening. "We (the old soldiers) elected Morse to the supreme bench and he has been a conniving politician ever since." - Judge Kelly at Port Huron. The republican nominations iu Lenawee county do not appear to please the Adrián Press. That's rnighty singular, isn't it? Should thiuk all the nominees would withdraw. Candidate Morse bas loaded himself up (or down) with figures to show that the infamous squawbuck legislature was the most economical one the state ever had, and with tomes of rhetoric to prove that Gov. "Winan's administration bas been the wisest one the state ever had. He forgets to eulogize Dan Soper, bowever. _____ Since the McKinley law went into effect the village of Elwood, Ind., has grown from a village of 600 inhabitauts to one of 12,000 inhabitants. All because that law has established extensive tin píate and píate glass factories there. It is needless to add that Elwood is an overwhelmingly republican city. J. II . Clark, proprietor of the Argusville and Cobleskill milis, who has been a lifelong democrat, has declared for Harrison, Reid and Protection. He says he has lived in freo trade England and knows what free trade means. This is a bad year for democracy. No free trade; no pauper labor. - X. Y. Mail and Express. Tom Watson, the Georgia Alliance congressman, has been telling his people what the democratie congress did with the McKinley act. "They introduced little pop-gun tariff bilis and put wool on the free list. The first fellow they hit was the farmer." The latter will fire back on democratie candidatos in self-deiense. The republicans of Osceola and Lake counties, comosing a representative listrict, met Saturday and nominated II. Wirt Xewkirk for member of the legislature. The nomination is a good one, and the Courier predicts right now that there will be no more intelligent, active and aggressive legislator in the üext house than Mr. Xewkirk. Adlai Stevenson appears to be "right at home" when talking to his fellow democrats down south. To be sure he wasn't down there in the 60's to help them, but his sympathies were there all right enough. The K's G. C. were here iu spirit, and made quite a deal of rouble for the Union boys in blue at hat time by their "flre in the rear" acties. The democratie platform declared that he principie of protection is unconstiutional. This provea that the dernoratic party has as yet learned no lesons. It has always been a party of oposition, of fault-finding, and there it eniains. Any student of the history of his country can prove that but for the irinciple of protection this nation would o-day be simply a helpless, overgrown olony, dependent upon Europe for evorything. Protection has made it the tong nation that it is. Who is this man Pulitzer, of the New York AVorld, who is endeavoring to raise a corruption fund to carry some of he western states for the democracy ? ie is an American citizen only by adoption. He is not an American in hought or sentiment. He is making all the money he can here and spending t in Europe. His ideas of free trade are thus carried out. He never breathed a pure, honest patriotic American seniment in his life. He is a Germán Jew, with a faculty for making and saving money, and it will be noted that it is other people's money that he proposes toexpend in his corruption fund. It is possible The Judge can afford to caricature its own party leaders as it 'requently does, and then again perhaps t cannot if it desires the success of President Harrison. There is nothing ;o be gained by such pictures as it gave of Mr. Clarkson in its last issue. There is a fooi head aomewhere in the management of The Judge, and it ought to be cut off. The republican party has got all it can do to win this year by fighting the enemy and its efforts better be confined to them. Mr. Clarksou, Mr. Pratt, Mr. Fassett, Gen. Alger and others, all have warm friends all over the country, who are liable to take offence at the treatment accorded them by The Judge, and their votes are all needed to return Mr. Harrison to the White House. Reeently the finding of some fifty skeletons and parts of skeletons on the farm of Luke Kelly, at Ironton, Ohio, attracted wide attention. At first it was supposed the remains were victims of river pirates, but the late diseovery of prehistorie implements flxed them as the skeletons of mound builders. Interest in the diseovery spread, and it is now a well established fact that at Proetorsville, a few miles above Ironton, are the ruins of a buried city. The streets were paved ; there were aqueducts and many evidences of reflnement. The city must have been large, though a large portion of it must have slipped beneath the bed of the Ohio river. It is believed that proper excavations would reveal a world of treasure. - Ingham County Republican. Any He you'll teil we'll swallow, Swallow iorce bill and its niggers, But Oh, don't, we beg and pray you, Don't poke at us Peck's cold flggers. -Grover to David. "Xofree trade; no pauper labor," is the policy of the republican party. The State Board of Health demands that all immigrants to Michigan be inspected before being allowed to come in. "This is to bo a campaign of education."- Harrity. "If yon cannot get a vote any other way, buy it." - Pullitzer. "You dakes your schoice." Both are demócrata. AVho says " the tariff is a tax?" The editor of the Adrián Press. Boes he lie about it? He does, like sin. Will he continue to lie about it? He will - "its the natur' of the witter." Judge Allen B. Morse, the democratie candidate for governor, in bis speech in Detroit last Thursday said : " I stand HEKE AS A SOLDIER AND SAY OOV. WIXANS WAS EIGHT Wil EX UB VETOBD THE Grand Army approi'riation bill." The old soldier will appreciate such frankness on the part of Candidate Morse. Earl B. Coe, law '80, is the latest of the U. of M. graduates who runs for congress this year, having been nominated by aclamation by the republicans of the Ist congressional district of Colorado. He is largely interested in mining and farming lands, and bas aecumulated a neat fortune by bis good business abilities. Mr. Coe first won his political spurs in 1890 when as chaiman of the county committee he turned over a democratie majority of 5,000 to a republican majority of 3,000. The young republican graduates are getting to the front all over the country. At a convention of what is known as Jeffersonian democrats at Birmingham, Ala., last week Thursday, 800 of them agreed to act as U. S. marshals and supervisors of election (under the famous miscalled "force bill") to see that there was a free ballot and a fair count in November. These men are all former white democrats, but supporters of the alliance, and voted for Kolb in the last election, whom they believe was fraudulently counted out. They do not appear to fear "negro domination," but they do fear ballot box frauds. When the south divides, politically, it will be a grand thing for the nation, and a grander thing for the south. Thesolid south is a menance, and forces the north to be solid. Let the break come. It cannot come too quickly. But won't he teil us why the " ected" laborer don't liave stuffed duck or Sunday dinner, as well as the proected employer? - Adrián Press. The Coveier will answer that quesion by askiug and answering another, i'ankee fashion : Question - Why is it that every newsaper man in the oountry cannot write is sharp and spicy an article as the edi;or of the Press ? Answer - Because nature has notgiven íim the brains. Any man or woman who has the jrains can come to the front in this ree country of ours, in their profession, rade or employment, and have duck f they want it, though some prefer :hicken, some goose for a change, and some even seem to relish crow. From the Ypsilanti Sentinel : "When he ballot was being taken on the question of exiling Aristides, a clodhopper, ,o whom the defendant was unknown, :ame up to him with a blank shell sayng: "As I cannot write, please write my sentence for banishment." The acjused readily complied with the request, jut asked, " Why, what have you got jgainst Aristides; has he ever harmed yxu?" "Not in the least," was the re)ly, " but I am tired of hearing him :alled 'Aristides, the Just'." That was exactly the disposition of the ' human critter" in that oíd pagan, that crops out now in our modern pagans who are exulting in Sullivan's downfall. Ihey were tired of hearing of Sullivan, the champion. In the same line is Cicero's remarks to a friend: " I believe ;hat you and I would both be better thought of if we kept more out of sight." New York is not an American city. It is a European city located iu America. At the very least calculation twothirds of its inhabitants are foreign bom, and care little for the interests of America. That fact, together with the fact that a great inany of the remaining one-third are engaged in the import trade and make their wealth by dealing in foreign made goods, is why New York is so solidly democratie. They do not care to build up America by protection. It is free trude that enriches them. Nothing American is popular in New York city. lts people are foreign born, its politicians are almost without exception foreigners by birth, its tongues are as diversified as were those at Babel, and its brogues simply barbarous, its wealthv fathers seek foreiün titles to marry their daughters to, and tlieir sons ape foreign custms, foreign airs, and foreign dudeisms of all sorts. It is no wonder that such a powerful and polluted organization as Tammany can hold its grip and flourish in such a place. They make one feel as though life was worth living. Take one of Carter's Little Liver Pilis after eating; it wil] relieve dyspepsia, aid digestión, give tone and vigor to the system.
