The Democrats who were jubilant at the
withdrawal of Mr. Orth from the Republican
ticket in Indiana have stopped laughing very
suddenly since the appearance of General
Benjamin Harrison's name at the head of the
ticket. The change means Republican VIC
tory, for General Harrison's name is one of
the kind which carries an election by its own
force. NY
Waterson, the editor of the Louisville Cour-
Ter Journal, and Democratic member of
Congress, sneeringly says of Gov. Hayes that
" he lives very plainly at home, and he and
his family walk to church every Sunday" AS

New York Graphic "The Democratic
House of Representatives has the spirit OF the
true Spartan. Its members are determined
to inaugurate reform and economy, even If
they have to sacrifice all of their friends and
enemies ON the altar After allowing good
many unfortunate clerks to retire to fresh
fields and pastures new, and permitting a

carriers, to subsist on still smaller pittance,
they resolutely decline to share the honor,
and therefore vote to maintain their own
salaries at 5000 year. This is the act Of
true heroism. 1t is rising into the atnlos-
