1125381 ES2!r5Sffl THB COURIER. KKKK(3 POINTS IN POLITICS co In these closing days of the campaign the republican central committee is receiving many specially encouraging rejxirtB from all sections of the county. Perhaps novor beforo has there been such an aggressive campaign waged us in the present instance. Thocommittco has thought best to put the larger part of tho effort in meetings, and for two or three weeks past many meetings have been held nightly, and almost every country school house, city hall or wher ever tho rallies havo been held, have been crowded to their utmost capacity. Tho best speakers of the party havo been secured and they havo given freely of their time. All this has been in marked contrast to tho proceedings of tho populist committee. It has been doubtless noticed that there have been practically no populist mass meetings or speeches. Now, in tho first place, the populists have found it impossible to secure speakers who would compete with tho republican orators. There are only one or two men available for this pur pose. Then there seems to be an ac knowledgement on tho part of tho popu list committee that the cause is hopeless so far as making new converts is con cerned, and all efforts have been bent towards making what is known as a financial campaign. All other argu ments havo been subordinated to the money argument. The "winning ways" of some of tho populist candidates have provoked much discussion, and the trend of this discussion is unfavorable to the populist candidates. The report that one candidate on the populist ticket, in order to secure the withdrawal of an opposing candidate, offered him a considerable sum of money, has been followed by many other similar reports of the free expenditure of money for political purposes. There Beems to bo an inexhaustible amount of money at tho disposal of populist candidates, which is distributed freely, and some of the political workers who are in politics for what there is in it have found in these candidates a veritable mine. The republican candidates have neither the ability nor tho inclination to pursue this sort of a canvass, but it is not thought that they have lost anything thereby. Tho better element of people is not at all influenced by the methods above cited. Messrs. Trompen and Low, who have been compelled to make a stronger fight than tho rest of the republican candidates, have not attempted to com pete with Messrs. Miller and Baker aiong financial lines. They have gone out among the voters of the county hon estly and frankly stating their position, germ-life The doctors tell us, now-a-days, that disease germs are everywhere; in the air, in the water, in our food, clothes, money ; that they get into our bodies, live there, thrive and grow, if they find any thing to thrive on . Consumption is the destruction of lung-tissue by germs where the lung is too weak to conquer them. The remedy is strength vital force. Scott's Emulsion, with hypophosphites, means the adjustment of lung strength to overcome germ-life. It is fighting the germ with the odds in our favor. These tiny little drops of fat-food make their way into the system and re-fresh and re-invigorate it. Whether you succeed with it or not depends on how good a start the germs had, and how carefully you can live. The shortest way to health is the patient one. The gain is often slow. 50 cenu and si.oo SCOTT & BOWNE, cbeaiits. New York it ie probable that this candidate in try ing to get on both sides of the fence at the same timo will lose votes from both sides. It is no secret that the populist can didate for clerk of tho district court is making a determined effort to securo straight democratic votes in the face of his recent declaration that his democracy is only skin deep. Democrats have no use for skin deep democracy, and they are apt to repudiate Mr, Baker as ho repu dialed them. It is also easy to see how straight, middle-of-the-road opulists, if there are any of theso left, might take offense at Mr. Baker's declaration. What he told them was, in effect, that out wardly, to all intents and purposes ho was a democrat, but that inside, where nobody could see, ho was a popuiist. Another case of straddle that is likely to prove disastrous. The candidates for the j udiciary, Hall Holmes and Cornish, are considered to bo particularly strong candidates. The fact that they are not opposod with auy considerable vim would indicate that tho opposition has no hope of defeating any one of them. A particularly noticeable feature of the campaign is tho fact that the re publican candidates have been on the aggressive from the very start. No re publican candidate has had to defend himself against a single charge. The demo-pops, on tho contrary, have been on the defensive from the first, and they have been kept pretty busy explaining things. The republican candidates for judgo of the district court and sheriff and clerk of the district court, upon whom the opposition has centered its 'strength, are beyond tho reach of at tack. They have no weak places to be uncovered, and there has been no un covering. They haro nothing to ex plain. They haro been left free to con duct an old-time republican campaign. In the present campaign it must be remembered that thero is no populist party, no democratic party. Tho only party presenting a solid front is the re publican party.

The republican candidate for sheriff, should he be elected, will never give any occasion for the accusation that he caused the American flag to be lowered from a public building on a patriotic occasion. The Germans and other liberals who have enjoyed the beer and other liquid refreshments supplied by the populist candidate for the clerk of the district court do not, many of them, know that Baker represent about all there is left of the free silver democrat and populist parlies. There is another democratic wing in the field, but its Mapping does not attract any attention. On the other hand the republicans are thoroughly united and harmonious, and a vote for the republican candidates means some thing. The personnel of the county ticket has been pretty thoroughly discussed in The Couriek.
