OATOH THEM EITHER "WAY.
Nothing has been alleged against
Mr. Hardlug or Mr. Egan, except
that when the oanvaasors were nt
Gervals, beer and whisky was free
for Harding nnd Egan men. Mr.
Egnn never drank n drop of
liquor over a bnr Ju his life. Mr.
Harding has not drank a drop of
intoxicating boverages for over eight
years. It may bo that some of
Egan's and Hnrdlug's friends
treated ntGervnis, but Messrs. Hnrd
ing nnd Egnn knew nothing of it,
nor did they furnish or promise nuy
money to pay for It. As a matter of
fact, Mr. Harding was at home sick
lu bed nnd is not yet able to sit up
all day. There is probably not n
candidate in tho field who ha3 not
some f.'iend that has "set 'em up"
in his interest. It is not tho candi
dates fault, unless he has directly or
Indirectly authorized It This
neither Harding or Egan hns
done. This contemptible attempt
to prejudlco tho Prohibitionists
against these men is worthy only of
men who bushwhack in polities
Woodburn Independent.
The Journal reprints the above
to show how tho Democratic mana
gers are seeking to catch tho voter
either way, coming or going. If the
Democrats put up n total nbslinauco
man they praise him to tho skies for
it and say to tho peeple: "We are n
moral party; our candidates nro cold
water men no bummers for us, If
you please." And thoy swell them
selves up with moral considerations.
If the Republicans put up u total ab
stainer the case is different. He is
at onco referred to by the Demo
cratic prompters vn a fanatic, a cold
water apostle, a priest ridden fool
no church and siato for us; wo bo
liove men should bo ablo to drink or
lot it alone (that is Republicans.) It
makes all tho (llU'eruueoiu tho world
whose candiOato it is. "If Harding
and Egan nro Domoorats It is a vir
tue not to drink. If thoy were
Republicans they would be cranks,"
That is the Democratic argument,
presented in tho abovo.
It is a narrow and intolerant ar
gument to claim that neither Egan
nor Harding havo put up nor
promised n ceut for treating, but ad
mit that1 'some of their many friends
havo treated." It is hypoorioy which
men of senso will repudiate, whether
they bo drinkers or not, To claim
for thoso candidates tho vlrtuo of
total abstinence, nnd at tho same
time reap tho benefits of other men's
weakness, developed by money
which their "friends may havo used,
Is so thin that the contempt of voters
should snow them under at tho
polls.

POLITICAL TALK.
Ex-Senator Piatt's Opinion
of
President Harrison.
New York, Juno 2, Ex-Senator
Thomas C. Piatt, whoso opposition
to President Harrison's nomination
is no secret, when seen yesterday
regarding tho Interview with the
prcsidout In which Mr, Harrison
was reported as sayinc .that ho did
not bellovo "individual disappoint
ment" would control tho action of
the convention nt Minneapolis, said:
"Tho remarks about "individual
disappointment" indicate how thor
oughly tho president misapprehends
tho nnturo of the opposition to hla
candidacy, nnd how wise is the
American system of frequent
changes in tho persannolof the gov
ernment. "It Is nstonlshlng how quickly
nnd how easily is tho process by
which n man comes to look upon
tho ofllco ho holds as his private
property. Ho becomes accustomed
to the homage which follows in Its
train, nnd recards it ns little less
thnn Impious to suggest that ho had
better make way for another. Tho
president cannot understand how a
man can bo a good citizen without
offering n prayer night and day for
tho re-election of Benjamin Harri
son. He does not conceive It to bo
morally possible for nny one to op
poso him, except from bad, selfish
and revongoful motives.
"Now, I am what our mugwump
friends delight to stigmatize as an
unpractical politician. I look at
things ns they really aro. Tho pres
ident says in this interview that ho
has acted conscientiously in the dis
charge of his public duties. It Is
far from me to question that. I m
more than willing to subscribe to
really onthuslastio praise of his ad
ministration. It certainly has done
grout things, but tho president
should not assume that he Is the
only man, who slnco 1880, has con
tributed Its achievements. He is
only ono of ninny statesmen who
conjointly labored to tho country's
honor and advantage. Blalno gave
us tho last attractlvo feature to our
polioy tho magnificent schema of
reciprocity, wblch has saved to tho
peoplo (80,000,000 of taxation here,
and on tholr exports half as much
moro In tho foreign countries whore
they nro sent. Ho has extended
our foreign trndo not less than
(75,000,000 nnd promises soon
to do vastly moro than that. Now,
iflremombor rightly, when Blaine
sent to tho president his pan-American
report, proposing reciprocity,
Mr. Harrison forwarded it to con
gress with somothlng like & sneer.
Ho said In his message to cengress:
"It will certainly ho tlmo enough
for us to consider whether wo must
oheapon tho cost of our production
by cheapening labor in order to gain
access to Bouth American markets
when wo havo fairly tried tho effect
of established and rellablo steam
communication nnd of convenient
methods of money o&cbaugo."
Thou ho went on to say that with
these advantages we could easily
compete In Bouth America anyhow.
In othor words, ho threw cold water
on reciprocity. Later, when
Blaine's public letters demonstrated
that the peoplo were with him. and
his great policy, ud when congress
put It into law and Brazil gave
Blalno a treaty, tho president want
starring'tbrough tho South saylnfc
vory much about the glories of reci
procity nud vory llttlo about the
statesman who contrived it.
"Reciprocity is tho brightest Jewel
in the crown of this administration;
but whoso Jewel la It? This ad
ministration settled tho Bhuiomu
difficulty with Germany. That was
u particularly ugly nud delicate
affair und undoubtedly great credit
Is due to tho Republican govern
ment which adjusted it bo promptly,
so neatly and so advantageously, I
dure say tho president should come
in for his sbaro of tbo credit, but it
was not ho who drow tho Instruc
tions under which our couitnl
slouers acted, and it was certainly
thoy who did tho business. They

man of great tact and dkcretlop,

ministration, hut we must pot
wholly forget BIata, Kmsm,
Phelps and Kates. Tk ObiUus
