TWO ROADS AND TWO MEN. 3 two ways—one right The Democrats have con- sistently travelled by the latter road for the the last quarter of a century, and are to-day quite as far off the goal of their ambitions as ‘hey were then—in some respects a little farther. ‘This , it seems as if poor Democracy stermined to put herself nse and go wrong from the The moment the nominations of veland and Hendricks were made the contest, as a contest, was over; the race was lost; the Republican ticket began to jog along to certain victory, and Democracy, with her nsual self-complacency, turned into the wrong road, Blaine has many enemies—a man so widely known and endowed with such force of character always has. But, strange as it ‘Tuere are alw and one wrong out of susy very start. cian of the day before yesterday—whom nobody ever ventured to accuse of having any character at all, has more enemies than Blaine. And this is why: Blaine’s policy has invariably been a broad and liberal one, He is a far-secing man of large views. He aims todo the greatest good to the greatest number, and, though he may excite implac- able animosity in the breasts of individuals, the toiling millions are his friends! Cleve- land, on the other hand, has never sought to advantage any, save himself, his friends, and the ring that controls him. He has therefore won the interested support of indi- viduals at the cost of the hatred of millions of fellow countrymen. Cleveland has proved himself the friend of monopolies. Blaine proved himself the friend of liberty and people. Therefore the Republicans are ou the right road to the White House, and the Democrats are wandering alittle further afield than they usually do. THE PROHIBITION TICKET. Tue Democratic journals—some of them— are trying to get up a scare over the nomina- tion of St. John on the Prohibition ticket. There is not the least occasion. of temperance are commonly men of some education; at any rate they are men of ad- vanced, if not liberal ideas. They have no intention of making, or allowing to be made, a split in the Republican ranks which might result in throwing the country to the Democracy. Democracy and Prohibition are irreconcilable foes, as the Democrats themselves admit by arguing that every vote thrown for Prohibition would be a vote lost to Blaine. The Prohibitionists know this as well as anybody. ‘They fully realize that a Democratic victory would be a postponement of their movement for four years at least, and they will do nothing that could con- tribute to such a result. It is a pretty well established fact that no votes are wasted ina presidential year, and Prohibitionists, like other people, will put theirs where they can do the most good. We do not apprehend any serious defection from the Republican vote in consequence of the Prohibition ticket. Advocates LED ASTRAY. Mr. Curtis, and everyone else who thought as he did and followed his example, have been led astray, and by this time they know it. They do not need to be told that they have bartered their Republican birth- right for a mess of Democratic pottage—and no one knows better than Geo. Wm. Curtis how many offensive ingredients there are in a Democratic cooking. Mr. Curtis knows all of them, and knows them well, for he has spent the greatest part of his life in ex- posing them, in showing the world how nasty they are, and generally abusing them. Now his knowledge of Democratic methods passes from theory into practice, for he is compelled to taste of their meal and drink deep of their cup. We believe it was Mr. Curtis who said that Deme are very hungry, and, naturally, very thirsty. Has he himself acquired their appetites as he indued their politi Let us hope 80; for he will have abominations to swallow which even hunger will scarcely mal table. In this connection Tue Jupa Mr. Curtis as typical of acl soreheads generally. : speaks of —the class of He is the most promi- nent and, probably, the ablest man among them; and so he is at the head of his cl and gives his name to it. But when he car- ries his wretched little rag baby over into the Democratic household, he is doing avery foolish thing, and he knows it. deliberately casting aw: glorious heritage of Republicanism; he is allying himself with men who must distrust him, for he has been their outspoken enemy for years, and he is gaining absolutely nothing by all this. Ie hassimply sacrificed his political record of the past and all } hopes of political usefulness in the future. He is y his share of the ABOUT KNOW-NOTHINGS. Briatne has been accused of being a Know- nothing on account of certain editorial articles which appeared in the Kennebec Journal when he was a reporter on that If Blaine was a Know-nothing then, JupGe would like to know how much Cleveland knew at the same period. Did he know enough to cry if one of the pins in his infantile robe was improperly adjusted? But to accuse Mr. Blaine of know-nothingism on account of anything that appeared in the Kennebec paper then would be as rational ag to blame a New York /erald correspondent for one of the fearfully and wonderfully constructed editorials which our esteemed contemporary occasionally evolves and prints. Mr. Blaine’s whole polit career has been an.exhibition of broad, enlighted and consistent Republican principles. Mr. Cleveland’s recent vetoes have more of a know-nothing smack to them than anything in Blaine’s whole career. Republican principles have won easily ever since Republicanism saved the country. Eight years ago, we grant, the outlook looked a little Hayesy, but now the horizon is clear and there is not a cloud between Blaine and success. THE CLEVELAND SCANDAL, Tue Jupce has little desire to refer to the foul scandal which has been ciated with Grover Cleveland’s _ private life. Whether it is true or false, it is alike outside the issues of the campaign. History has shown that great private vices are per- fectly compatible with great public virtues, and it is not on his record as a private indi- vidual but on his record as a public servant of the country that the people will weigh Grover Cleveland and find him wanting next November.
