Perhaps Mr.. Randall knows which side Of the sub
sidy fence lie - on now.
The National Democratic Platform is condensed
to two planks: Fraud" and "antI-ResumpJion.'
If Mr.. Cox viii give up trying to be Speaker and
resume business as great American humOrist he
will be happier
The anti-Resumption shriekers may as well save
their wind. The Resumption Act will not be re-
pealed. A Presidential veto viii block the way.
The political calm may be said to have ended
when DAYS news contains particulars Of two
broken heads and when the whole country Is trying
~ lind out what did the business III Ohio.
Somebody has discovered that Ben Wade and

cans from voting last week The oilce-holders Kept
away 10000 more, and the Workingmen'4 ticket
drew away 10000 more. Who voted for vest, any

President Seelyc. Of Amherst does not think the
ONO defeat was in any way due TO dissatisfaction
with the President, but was caused by third-pariy
tickets and the doughfacedneSs of the Republican
candidate A "man who would make such speeches
a. Judge West did Ought not to have received a
vote" Mr. Seelyo thinks the President means we'll
IN everything but he suspects he has some adyiseis
who don't know what " well Is.
Senator Don Cameron has turned up in Washing
ton clipper and much inclined TO smile over the re-
snt in Ohio He thinks the outlook in Pennsylvania
is not clear that the parties running along even
IL. and that Noyes the Democratic candidate for
Treasurer is likely to run ahead OF his ticket. He
suspected the NOrkngmens ticket would enable
tine Democrats to carry Philadelphia. II theY do,
the Republicans will stand about as much chance
OF carrying the State Don has of being President
Goyernor-elect Bishop. of Ohio has bad & recep-
ton and has made n speech which the organs
o. his party, for some nscrutable reason, refrain
from publishing. AS printed Ill the Republican
journals il IL an entirely harmless effort, containing
nothing worth reproduction, unless ii be the follow
ing burst of truth aud modcsty: 10 not believe,
my felow-citizens that this canvass has been car

Senator Christiaucy ndorses the whole Admins

Iishment controlled by honest and eminent men,
who are endeavorng to the best interests of
the whole nation" He declares the Presidents policy

Grant would have adopted precisely similar one
had he continued III office. About the Civil Service
order he has an idea thai IT would have been full
as effective had it been made a little less offensive
to office holders. but it is right in the main, and he
hopes God Will speed the day whom the high and
honorable object for which it was constructed will
have been attained.
Packard has come TO the surface again, with
" told you so" covering him with garment.
He passed through Cincinnati on his way TO Wash
lngton last week, and told everybody who asked his
opinion, including, of course, an Enquirer reporter,
that the Ohio defeat was the logical result of the
course of the Observation-Disclosures the party
leaders or officials, who pursue course much at
variance with the principles Of the party, must
expect TO create nothing but dissatisfaction
among the members of the party" Mr.. Pack
ard puts all the responsibility upon the
unfortunate Stanley Matthews, accompanying
his indictment with this most serious charge :
" don't attribute these troubles and mistakes of
the Administration much To the President as to
stanley Matthews. He liz, | think. the party who
has made the trouble, and. as he once asked me to
sell out the party down there, and has, besides
wrought this ruin which il upon us both North and
south. can't say that feel very goOd-natured
