Kinley frequently acts in tlie ca¬ pacity of governor of Ohio. All medical authorities agree that oh registration day it is entirely in accord with hygienic principles to register just atter breakfast. The report that whiskey can be made from beets may be merely an effort to increase the demand for that vegetable in Kentucky An analysis of the political sit¬ uation at the present juncture dis closes the presence of crinoline in very large quantities. Mr. Reed hints very strongly that in one of the numerous No\ - ember football games the football will be the democracy. The rumors now circulating throughout Europe ns to the health of the czar prove canclusively that guessing is a popular pursuits in Europe. If the Lexow committee persists much loilgei ilie Tammany tiger will presently be forced to the meek and subdued compopnent of a tabby cat. A republican audience which does not assure its orator that lie is a future president is now consid¬ ered positively discourteous. Mr. Billy Mason, the accom¬ plished pyrotechnist of Illinois pol¬ ities, Js now moving too rapidly to be visible with the naked eye. - A society note from the orient imparts the information that the emperor of China and his suite may leave Pekin to travel for their health. Since the Lexow committee has resumed work it has become plainly apparent that the fur ulong the spine of the Tammany tiger is slun ted the wrong way. Adlai Stevenson is stumping the state of Illinois, but thus far has succeeded in escaping the charge that he is going to be the next pres¬ ident. 3 Friends of leading republican orators will greatly oblige the lat¬ ter by forwarding them abundant supplies of pepsin. Mr. Wnlson’s dinner is still causing them much uneasiness. In communitie| where the Aus¬ tralian system does not prevail the women woulA like to know how a ’* 'a* •' the mischief they are going to vote from lisp the vest S pocket. - ..... ___ It is recalled that Gen. Wolseley predicted that China would ke a conquest of the world, fore fulfilling the prophecy it is he supposed that China will sc * the consent of her compara ely wee rival, Japan. k republican orator who does i frequently receive assurance in his audience that he is going be the next president cannot considered as worthy of tent ion. Needn’t Lose Any Sleep a matter of fact the tenth t is in less danger of going |t in the November election itber the fourth or the ninth, strength of each party is ► about the unit. It is sun patter of Richmond doing ty and when it is really she always does it.”-Ai « get in a sweat Mr. the ninth Nebraska and New York A serious difficulty of a faction¬ al character existing between the two factions of Democrats in Ne¬ braska has reached the Supreme Court of that State on the question of party regularity. The failure of the two wings of the party harmonize was in part caused by the intervention of the - national Administration. It appears that the course of the Federal Adminis¬ tration toward the Democrats of Nebraska has been hostile and an¬ tagonistic. Applicants for Feder¬ al office, ‘‘fawned upon Secretary Morton,” and at last year’s Demo¬ cratic Convention, we are told on the same authority, all candidates for Federal office were made to understand that they must attend the Convention, and vote as the Federal Administration for the sake of office at hand or pccted. But it seems that the offices did not, go around, and the result is that this year all the disap pointed men are ant i-Ci-kveland. “The hulk of the Democrats shared the general disgust with the acts of the President and Con¬ gress, and thought best to rebuke him and Congress by espousing the cause of the men most repugnant to them.’.’ In Omaha, for instance, the chief town of Douglas county, the Feder¬ al Administration was outvoted at the Convention primaries five to one ; and a rector of an Episcopal parish in Omaha walked two miles to attend a Democratic primary for the purpose of voting in favor of Mr. Cleveland’s opponents. The reverend gentleman could not see, he said, why Federal officeholders considered it a part of the duties of their offices tcubecome offensive and conspicuous in attempting to de¬ feat any candidate, especially by unfair means. Reduced to its sim¬ ple elements, the situation in Ne¬ braska is this : The regular Demo¬ crats, ut their convention, have nominated a candidate for Gover nor ; while the forces of the Feder¬ al Administration,, that is to say, the officeholders, are used to equip and assist a bolting faction to the sole benefit and advantage of the Republican party. The power of the Supreme Court lias been in¬ voked to decide the question of regularity between the two., In the State of New York a somewhat similar question is forced upon the notice of all Democrats. A political life and death fight ap¬ pears to be going on between the leader of the Democratic party and its senior representative in the Uni¬ ted States Senate^on one hand, and the allied forces of Republicanism, Mugwumpery, and dissentient Democratic factions on the other. The Federal Administration, with u horde of officeholders, office seek¬ ers, and partisan followers, all sup¬ posed to be Democrats, and itself exercising power and influence by virtue of Democratic votes, stands faltering and undermined. Will these officers by lukewannness and indifference, if not by actual hos¬ tility and a bolt, so far embarrass the course of the whole New York Democracy that a Republican vic¬ tor)*, to the almost irreparable in¬ jury of future Democratic prospects, will be the result ? In Nebraska the issue Involved in the fight is comparatively unim¬ portant—the Governorship in a state hitherto Republican, and a Senator to succeed Brother Man derson, a Republican. It is not to be supposed that, in any event, a Democrat will succeed Manderson. A Republican defeat would mean only the election of a Populist col¬ league to Senator Allen. How different is the situation in New York l there the whole future course of the Democracy in its most important stronghold is in¬ volved in the triumph of the Demo ticket, for defeat car¬ ries with it s Republican apportion of the State for twenty years -* •» - 3 ‘ « ' T cri«?«, is positive and Unavoidable. It must put its shoulder to the wheel and help save the day for Democratic principles. No Slump At All. During all this recapitulation of “reasons’Wor, and tintinabulation of talk about “the great slump,” and the twisting of the figures to suit the theories of this and that partizan, it will be interesting to give some comparisons of official figures between the elections of 1892 and Gubernatorial 1894. r In the election of 1892, the vote was as follows : North**!!.. . 140,492 Peek .,68,990 Democratic majority.. ...... .......71,."i02 One month afterwards occured the Presidential "election. The vote Wi ^ as . follows : ^Cleveland, ** .48,305 129,380 Harrison .., Weaver.. . .......42,939— 91,224 Cleveland’s majority....... ..38,142 Now let us compare these votes with the election in October, 1894. Democratic vote...... .......124,490 Populist vote....... .......91,390 Democratic majority ... .......3.3,094 Now let us see what we find by comparisons : We find first that the total vote cast in the Cleveland election of 18!I2 was ... .......220,5!18 The total vote in 1394 is...........215,88<S A falling off of 4,712 The next thing which we find is that the votfr-nmjAiy the pop¬ J ulists this year is -- - 91,896 Harrison and Weaver vote . 91,244 Leaving a net gain of only 152 Two years ago the republicans refused to endorse the populists. This year they did, and voted with them solidly, and with all the fan fire the opposition to democracy has only gained 452 votes in two years. But let us go a little further. In the Cleveland election in 1892 the total vote east was..........220,5il8 I 11 the Northeu election ... .209,482 A difference of ..11,040 These figures represent 11,046 republicans ancl populists who did not take the trouble to vote. Add these to the 68,990 who voted for Peek, and we have 80,036 which, subtracted from the 91,244, which was the strength of the opposition to democracy, leaves us 11,208 re¬ publicans and populists, who voted for Governor Northen. With all the sophistries and confusion swept away, we And that the real demo¬ cratic strength in Georgia is.......129,386 We voted this year ...... 124,490 A falling off of 4,890 Subtract this from Cleveland’s majority over the combined ele¬ ments of opposition to democracy, all of which voted solidly for the populists this year, and you have left, 33,248, which is a gain of 154 votes for democracy as between the two parties in two years. Point the next blatant yawper who talks to you about “the great slump” to the figures, and tell him that the opposition to democracy has gained only 153 votes in two year#, and that 5,000 democrats staid at home in October who will be on hand alive and well in No¬ vember, and again in January, and snow his party under by: the same 40,000 majority we gave Cleveland in 1892.—Georgia Cracks*. The Columbus Enquirer thinks that “the ringing slogan now of the Americus Penny Press is ‘Garrard and home currency.’ It will win dead sure.” To which the Griffin News makes answer: “We are not so sure of its winning, but it has a very pleasing, sound. Mr. Garrard is the author of the plank demanding the repeal of the state bank tax, and is one man on the stump who has not lost sight of the moat promising of all the proposed remedies of our financial Uls.
