Omaha Republican: How many Democratío writers and speakers who talk so flippantly about free lumber realize the magnitude o: the interests involved? Denver licpublican: It is quite certain now that Harrison and Morton will carry Colorado by at least 10,000 majority over Cleveland and Thurman, and it ís, probable that the majority wül rise to 15,000. Boston Travtlltr: The Senate bilí strikes at noindustry, resista every attempt to reduce wages, maintains in its integnty the principie of protection, and at the same time provides for sufficient reduction ol revenue. Boston Transcript: The shutting up of sugar reflneries in order to raise the price of sugar, and the wheat speculation to increase the cost of flour to consumers, are all expedients which, sooner or later, will react upon those engaged in gathering riches out of the privations of the masses. Cleveland Leader: No voter should be careless with his ballot this year. A viotory for free trade or protection means the assurance of either policy for many years to come. If the liritish manufacturers once ga n a foothold thcy will not relinquish it un til they nave wrought such liavoc as they have accomplished in other markets of the world. New York Sun: In political, as in military battlos. it is not the cranks, but the flghters, who win victories. The Democracy must depend for success on the serried infantry ranks of the 5,000,000 Demócrata distributed throughout the Nation, and on the heavy artillery of popular centers like New York, which roll up on election day such magnificent majorities to overwhelm the Republicana. But this result can not be secured by bowing to the threats or hearkenmg to the menaces of the impotent but noisy Mugwumps. Detroit Tribune: Don Dickinson has made himself the laughing stock of the whole country by his recent speech in Detroit, wherein he sought to array the West against New England. General Harrison, in his little speech to the Michigan delegation the other daj% very happily alluded to Mr. Dickinson's bad break, remarking in effect that we prefer New England as a consumer of Western produce than free trade with Old England. If Don Dickinson had hunted two straight weeks for a blunder he couldn't have found one more stupid or ridiculous than his idiotie attack on New England. Bureau County (DL) Republican: The f act is, General Harrison has done more to assist his own election, by showing himself the man he is, than any other speaker, leader, or contributor has yet done for him. The political influence of these meetings at his home can hardly be overestimated. Friends and foes alike will have to admit, whether Western States give remarkabla Repubhcan majorities, as now seems probable, or fall behind expectations, that they would have done less for the Bepublican cause if a candidato so peculiarly qualified as General Harrison had not been nominated or if he had kopt silent. St Louis Olobe-Democrat: Mr. Havemeyer is the head oí the sugar trust. We believe he is also a warm supporter of President Cleveland and a heavy subscriber to the Cleveland campaign fund. However, this latter f act is of no importanco just now, Havemeyer's arbitrary action takes the sugar trust question out of politics. The partisan predilections and afflliations of the gentlemen composing the "combine" must henceforth be left out of consideration . Ou this issue, if it has heretofore, to some exient, been Republican against Democrat, it s so no longer. It is now tho sugar trust against the American people.
