| PRESIDENT CHADBoURNE of Williams
College passes this Judgment on the
| Cincinnati ticket: @1 am more than salts
| fed with our work at Cincinnati. OF
course, I wanted Bristow, but we have
Bristowism. 1t was a result that no one
could dare to hope for at first. The
| Convention proved to be, willingly or
not, q 'ring-smasher.
THE Nation says of the Republican
candidates.: Gas to the nominations
| themselves, the candidates cannot, as
| regards personal character and ante
cedents, be spoken of too highly. They
are eminently respectable men--the most
| respectable men, in the strict sense of
that word, the Republican party has
| ever nominated"
WHEN Hayes beat Thurman for Gov
ernor by 5000 majority the Democrats
elected a majority of the legislature. 1t
is pretty good evidence of Gov. Hayes's
popularity in his own State that he has
| beaten Pendleton, Thurman, and Allen,
three ofthe strongest men the Democracy
| of Ohio possesses.
| A GENTLEMAN inquired of young
| lady clerk in the bookstore, the other
| day, if they had Coates Ajar.'' She
said yes; they had one. It was the
front gate, and since the warm weather
began it had got to sagging so that they
couldn't shut it, and it was ajar most of
the time. She suggestively added, how
ever, that the side gate still worked
| nicely.
The Democratic papers are making a
the 'Ssalary grab" question. His record
on this is unique. He voted against the
measure at every stage and on its final
passage. After it passed he drew his
back pay, converted it into United
| States bonds and turned the bonds into
the Treasury with the request that they
be cancelled, saying he would ''stop the
interest ON that much of the national
debt at least"
THE Shawano Journal says the Cath
Ole Total Abstinence Society of Phila-
delphia has sent word to the Menomi-
nee Indians, that they would defray the
| expenses of twenty members of the tribe
to and from Philadelphia, and whilethere,
and give each new suit of clothes, if
they would come. We understand that
the twenty under the charge of Joseph
Gauthier, the Menominee interpreter,
will start next week.
The Cincinnati Star has suggestion
for those who are disposed to underrate
Governor Hayes: ''Let them read his
speeches, and they will find them mar
ked by unusual strength of thought and
clearness Of utterance. Not one of them
can be found that would not, both as to
matter and manner, be worthy of the
| strongest men in the nation, Let them
scrutinize his public cafeer, military,
congressional, and executive, and they
can not find single error of judgement
nor mistake in practical action. OF
few men, SO long in public service as
/ General Hayes has been, can this be
said
The HEssIAN FLY.-This enemy of
! the wheat crop, which has in some wears
done great damage in other sections, but
has not, we believe, before troubled the
West much, is reported as inficting
| great injury on the wheat of Southern
| Minnesota, Northern Iowa and North
western Wisconsin. The insect is a
small, white, harmless locking creature,
who works upon the roots of the stalk,
and in some instances the stalk will con
! tinue to grow and oftentimes head out,
but generally the least breath of wind
breaks it off clear to the ground. It is
| hoped the reports of destruction of the
crop aye exaggerated in the interest of
bulls in the grain market.
THE warm personal admirers of Mr.
Blaine may be consoled at his defeat by
the generous and unenvious way in which
he accepts the result, as expressed in the
following letter:
WASHINGTON, June 19.-Gov. r. 3.
Hayes, Columbus: [ offer you my sin
cerest congratulations on your nomina-
ton. 1t will be alike my highest pleas
IRE, as well rs my first political duty, to
| do the uIl4aQst in my power to promote
| your election. The earliesb moments of
my returning and confirmed health will
be devoted to securing you as large a vote
in Maine as she would have given for
myself.
JIG. BLAINE.
In the month of April last the writer
of this paragraph, while watching the
proceedings of the HoHsa of Repre-
sentatives at Washington, asked one of
the most experienced and influential of
the Republican members of the Mich
igan delegation, ssWho is the ablest
man on the hoor2" The answer was.
Gin the points of sound and clear judg-
ment, of persona1 influence with his
| fellow members. OF weight in shaping
| legislation, and of the possession Of the
absolute confidence of his colleagues,
| Wheeler is the strongest man in this
House" Within three hours afterward
one CT the Democratic members from
this State, in the course Of ohatty CON
versation declared that for fairness,
ability and individual influence he knew
of no superior to Wheeler on the floor.

SOME time ago the immaculate repre-
senEatiyes Of the Democracy at Washing
1 ton gave vent to q prOdIglOus howl
| about frauds IN the Pension Bureau.
They had discovered that Dr.. Won Ar.
min formerly Commissioner of Pensions,
had during one year Issued 1000 pen
sion land warrants, and Immediately
jumped to the conclusion that some
thing was wrong. The Investigation
which followed has thus far developed
two important facts, viz That DIR. Won
Armln committed no fraud. and that, in
1886, a Democratic Commissioner of
| Pensions issued 114.5OO warrants ON
