GRANVILLE W. STOKES, of Warren County
wM. LANG. of Seneca County.
The big man of the Radicals is un-
der the HIyes.
BLAINE to Hayes: Oh, "would
that you were not almost but altogeth.
er like me, except those bonds"
On Saturday Secretary Bristow
placed his resignation in the hands OF
p the President to take effect Oh Tues.
day.
- SOME people seem TO think that
: Hayes was not nominated for his abil-
2 ity but they are in error. 1t was his
avail ability alone that won.
The lling passion strong i'm DEATH
On the eve of sure defeat the Radical
leaders are stealing from each other
their good names.
The New York Herald of June Is,
declared that Conkling was the only
man who could carry New York
against Tilden, the only Republican
whose nomination meant victory i'm
New York.
THERE was not particle of interest
manifested in the health of poOrBlaine
after the 7th ballot at the great sIaugh-
ter-house convention on Friday. No
/, body seemed TO care fig If he was
+, dead as Julius Cesar.
81 Mr.. BLUFoRD WILSON was out in
Illinois the other day trying 10 induce
j, the Whisky Ring to Withdraw its Op-
position to Bristow. He proposed TO
nOfte some of the most important cases,
but il is understood that his mission
= was q failure.-Eng.
THERE is q vast amount of Vice
Presidential generosity abroad among
& the people interested in this Republi-
f, can Convention. The number of gen.
tlemen to whom the Vice-Presidency
has been offered or promised is mag
unanimously large. We hereby offer a
2 reward of fifteen cents for the discov-
cry of a state to which the Vice-Presi
dency hasn't been offered.-EnQ.
TIE Democratic National Conven-
ton will meet in st. Louis next Tues
day, June 9th. ALL that is needed to
Q render success certain in the coming
contest is wise, discreet and harmoni-
ous action. With these the country
will again rejoice in the benificent
rule of the Democratic party under
which the country became powerful
and PROSPEROUS,
The Republicans declared in their
platform that they were as ever op-
posed to subsidies to corporations.
To show what they meant by this res
olu ton they have nominated a man
for Vice-President who, as Chairman
of the Pacific Railroad Committee, re-
ported all manner of subsidy jobs, and
was one of the most active leaders in
forcing them all upon the attention OF
Congress. So to the end Republican
practice turns its back upon Republi-
can professions World.
On Monday forenoon a South Side
street car at Cleveland, with the driv-
er a man and two lady passengers.
four in all, was going down the hill to
the Heights when the brake refused to
work and the car rushed with increas-
ed speed to the canal bridge, jumped
the track, pushed through the railing
and plunged into the canal with its
living freight, and one of the passen-
gers, Mrs. Gertrude Delceit, widow
lady with four children, was drown
ed.
IT will be very encouraging for
those who have wool to sell at from
% to 30 cents per pound, oats from %
to 30 cents per bushel. and other pro-
ducts at equally low figures, and for
the owners of mills, factories and
workshops whose machinery and tools
are lying idle and gathering rust, to |
learn that the Radical party have NOM
mated and propose to elect a candi-
date for President who is utterly Op-
posed to the repeal OF the rascalIy
Radical Resumption Act, unless some
other measure can be devised and SUBJ
stituted therefor which will be still
more oppressive to. the producing
and business interests of the people |
by forcibIy bringing about the resump-
tion of specie payments at an earlier
date.
WHAT 10 all the high sounding re-
solves of the Radical Convention in !
favor of "retrenchment and reform
TO? Have they not had the
control of the Government i'm all of its |
for more than score of |
years, during all which time, extraya-
gance, thievery and corruption have
run riot? And now, when q Demo-
cratic House of Representatives is /
to cut down the expenses and
save S30,OO0.OOO or S4O,OOO,OOO a year
to the oppressed taxpayers, are they
not met with the most determined op-
position of the Administration and
The Radical Senate? 1t is idle to talk
of "retrenchment and reform" being
brought about by the party that has
been the authors of this extravaganza
and corruption. Nothing will effect
the desired end but a change of rulers.

"who is william A. Wheeler
Was the inquiry of almost every
BODY upon hearing his nomination for
Vice-President by the Radical Con-
rention. The Enquirer furnishes the
ollowing answer to the question:
.Mr. Wheeler is man of moderate
PARTS, known only as local politician.
He has climbed the giddy heights of {
