Ohio might stand one more repub lican legislature without absolutely losing its character, but it would be foolish to take tho risk. Hastings (Mich.) Journal: If Ind iana should go democratic another year tho present fugitive murderer from Kentucky who is sheltered there uiidor republican wings would have to light out for Vermont. Hastings (Nob.) Democrat: The Washington authorities refused to buy more silver when the price reached 60 cents. Yet there are people who think that silver ought to keep going right up, in spite of such discrimination. Clinton (111.) Register: When Han na refused to debate with Clark he marked the beginning of his end as great political boss. He exhibited the bravery of a dog that lies In his ken nel and barks, afraid to enter into a contest. West Union (O.) Dofonder: Con sidering tho fact that the republican leadors insist that the democrats pre sent no live issues, they stand in great fear and perturbation of the deceased. Like the Chinese, they seem to have more fear of tho dead than the living. Ramsey (111.) News-Journal: "The men whom wo most delight to honor in all tho land aro those who in the iron years from '61 to '65 bore on their shoulders the v'rdon of saving the Union."

Democrat: No doubt tho "prosperity shoutors" were very much upsot by tho governors' an nouncement that wages have not kept paco with tho cost of living. It's tho tiuth that hurts, and to think that a republican should tell It must bo gall ing to all members of that party. Lamar (Mo.) Leader: We like to read the paragraphs Tho Commoner publishes in its "Weekly Press For um," for they show us that our demo cratic brethren over the country are standing fast and true to democratic principles and resisting all tho efforts of the reorganizes to republicanize our party. Mansfield (0.) Shield: Tho con trol of the republican party and the coercion of tho president by the trust magnates and tho monopolists should open the eyes of the voters every where to tho hard game they aro now up against It is safe to say there will be no tariff reform by tho coming congress. Ottawa (0.) Sentinel: "Gold help us," "Don't desert us now' and "Think what tho beloved McKinley would have you do,' uttered by tho re publican national chairman at tho re publican campaign opening, lool?s like your Uncle Mark hasn't as much con fidence as he professes in a republican victory this fall. Carmi (111.) Democrat: The cheer ing information comes from Wash ington that tho attorney general is getting ready to spend the money ap propriated by the last congress for the purpose of prosecuting the trusts. No body ever expected tho trusts to suf fer, but there was an awful fear that the appropriation would not be spent Hobart (0. T.) Chief: Tho United States transport Kilpatrick arrived in Now York from Manila last" Saturday having on board the bodies of 300 American soldiers who lost their lives iu the Philippines. Our colonial pos sessions come high, but some still say wo must have them. The whole lot of those Islands are not worth the life oE one of these brave American sol dier boys. Harrisburg (111.) Register: ' There are grave reports of scandals in the postofflco department, the interior de partment, the army and navy, the de partment of justice and the govern ment printing office, while the depart ment of agriculture is quietly investi gating a nuie scanuai or its own in the seed division. Can any one doubt that it is timo for a change of ad ministration? Monmouth (111.) Democrat: Tho Minnesotans aro clamoring for a rec iprocity treaty with Canada, .but of course they will never get It so long up they continue to .elect republican congresses and republican presidents. Even Mr. Roosevelt, who talked reci procity and tariff reduction two years ago in Minneapolis, has become a "stand patter." Ramsey (111,) News-Journal: With Ohio and Nebraska in the old time democratic column, and as tho east Is not expected to lino up for democracy, it Is well that democrats in all the middle, western and southern states see to It that only true democrats are placed on guardonly those who have boon faithful and are still faithful to democracy should be allowed to get on any delegation from a township to a stato convention.
