CRISP is the Dennis Kearney Of the Missouri

these two great leaders reveals q remarkable
similarity Of thought aud utterance. We ask

| The Nationals of PHILADELPHIA are pretty
! sure Of clecting one Of their candidates for

Tue Boston Pod lDemocraticl does not hesi-
! tate to condemn Senator Thurman's speech
II says that no man is more fully aware than
himself Of the fact that Chiof-Justice Chase

In the Constitution no express grant Of legis-
lative power to make any description of cur.

SENATOR PATTERSON, Of South Carolina
had a grand time when he went into Juniata
County the other day among his old acquan-
tances. He stood on the corner and shook
hands for All hour or two with everybody who
came along, and later in the evening he was
sercnaded at the residence Of his uncle, W. W
Wilson. We learn from n Milliutown paper
that the Senator is looking exceedingly well
wears his honor mcckly, and says he wouldr'l
go through the political struggle again which
has marked his career for all the honors to be
gained thereby in the world"
The Democracy In the eighth district oi
Missouri have candidate for Congress in the
person of "Colonel " J. T. Crisp. II appears a
If he was determined to carry his district and
to that end Is lavish in promises. He has nj
ready declared he will secure y, SOC, 900 for tn,
construction Of four pOst.ofiice buildings, on,
custom house, aud one mint the latter to be
constructed at Kansas City, aud several rivei
improvements He has made other and a
bounteous promises. 1t seems to us that thi.
person Is altogether too crisp In that line for a
Congressman.
