THE JIMPLECIITE. ’ J. C. IIEARTSEL.L, EDITOR. Official Organ of the Ccunty. Advertising Rates Reasonable Our Washington Letter, Washington, October 9— It comes to this political nerve center in a pretty straight line from the Ohio hustings, that the republic¬ ans claim they will have over one hundred thousand majority in the election to he held in that state in Novernt er, is a game of rank bluff. There ate unmistakable signs of alarm over there since Hanna was trapped into defending his ship sub¬ sidy scheme that, would cost the people of this country §10,000,000 a year and benefit solely a shipping trust in the East. In order to make his little gift enterprise apply to the state of Ohio, Hanna used what would, at first blush, appear a cogent argument, to wit, that shipping on the lake and all trade had increased wonderfully in the past few years. With childlike innocence in all mat¬ ters that do not appertain to his own pocket book, Hanna forgot that no provision for his ship subsidy scheme related in the slightest degree to the lake vessels. All the 'conceded de¬ velopment of traffic on these vast inland waterways cost the United States Treasury not one cent None of the interests engaged in it ask any share in Mr. Hanna's generosity with the money of the people that he in¬ tends to give to tile eastern ship¬ building irust. The farmers of Ohio have been asking questions about this matter and have begun to do some thinking for themselves- In consequence Hereof the republican leaders h ive requested Mr. Hanna to either revise his subsidy argument or else shunt it off the boards during the remainder of the campaign The outlook for defeating Hanna for the Senatorship is growing better every day, and altfgether things are not as lovely for the republicans in Ohio as they could wish. * * One spellbinder, whom Chairman Dick hoped to have on the stump over in Ohio has daily refused to take part in the campaign for the re elec¬ tion of H anna. D legate Hodey, of New Mexico, says he was shocked by the action of Hanna on th ■ floor of the Senate last January when he re¬ pudiated the republican platform promise to the tenitories, and that he cannot conscientiously ‘take part in his re-election. If that were the only platform promise the republican party has ever repudiated, that parly would slill he entitled to the distin- i gmshed consideration of the people, but the platform prom.se concerning the temtoriPH 1 * only venial sin com¬ | pared to I hi* mountain of iniquity j justlj < ia , _(,ibi to tin h publii in party. 1 he republican na.ioiul plat- J un not on > plumy < d . tali hood to the territories and then wen. back ' on the promise, but ,t also promised reciprocity not only with Cuba, but. with other countries 1 he reciproc-i ity treaties negotiated by * McKinley - have never been rat.bed .

The promises . f the republican plat¬ form fo labor have not been redeem¬ ed. The republican platform declared “we are in favor of a more effective restriction of the immigra tirn of cheap labor from j countries”. That this promise has not been kept is plain to every man on earth from the fact that tlie pres, ent immigration exceeds that of any other year in the history of the eoun try. It is quite unnecessary fo go on piling up instances of republican platform promises repudiated. The above are amply sufiisient to show that their platforms are like those of the passenger coach, made to go in on and not to stand on. Redeem«d republican platform promises are the the exception and not the rule. Re publican promises are made to fool the people. 1 How much longer will j the people be fooled? Up to date there have been twen tv-eight, persons indicted by various grand juries for complicity in the frauds and peculations in the Post Office Department, but not one has, so fur, been brought to trial, and the j chances are not one of the indicted will be as vigorously prosecuted as he deserves or be convicted in the end. The distinguished politician who presides over the Post Office Department seems to think that his j mill has ground exceeding fine, and j that he has a fine mess of rotten mill | stuff to pnsent, to the people of the I country as the result of the labors of nis inspectors. He is now congrat u'ating himself and the country that the end has been reached and that, the official reports will soon he forth coming; lit least they will soon he in the hands of the President, who will i give them to the public if he sees fit to do so, and if he does not i tu¬ peo ple can go io , and there yon an.'. As I said above, not one man has been brought io trial, and ^ the l nited States Courts keep up the record they are making none of them will ever be brought to trial or con-1 victi d after they are brougot to the : bar of justice. Beavers is fighting! like a Turk over in New York to I keep from being tried, and the court | is helping him. It not only has postponed his trial several times at the instigation of Ins counsel, hut it! has summoned the United States District, Attorney to come in and show cause why he should not be! sentenced for contempt of court for refusing some plea set up b\ Beavers. The courts seem to be fighting fori the accused grafters, and if things! keep on as they now are going not one of I he gang of thivees will be convicted, i he republicans hen- arc congiatalating themselves and one another that the end of the investi ation j s in si g ht an<1 the atu , nliwn of the ,. ounlry wii , soon be taken o)Y , their misdeeds b> the assembling of i Congress.
