New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1881-11-05
the matter with the Bourbon sharpShoOters his
sluggishness is unprecedented.

Mr.. Flower made what The Uorld kindly calls an
eloquent speech on Thursday evening. Rightly
interpreted it was very eloquent. 1t was cry fol
relief He said " / started in life q poor country
lad, and can never forget the struggles and the
trials of my early life. from the people and OF
the people, and feel that in this contest their
hearts are with mep This is an attempt TO pose as
a horny handed son Of toll who sleeps under hay
stack and eats beans and bacon a steady diet IL
is easily apparent why Mr.. Flowers eoquence took
this FORM The impression had got abroad among
the boys thai he was very rich man. and they
were striking" for contributions They struck
Mr. Potter so hard that he let Civil Service Reform
look out for itself and left the OF politics on
double-quick. Mr. Flower does not wish 10 90 that,
so he tries the son of toll dodge 1t won't work;
He is generous and liberal millionaire and q wan
Street operator, whose hands are no more horny
than a woman's. There is millions in him, boys.
"Sic himW
VOORHEES, was safely delivered of roaring pOliti =
cal speech the other day, but he was able to work
into it no alluson TO the tariff. This looks as if he
had begun to absorb little information on the SUD
jet.
Mr. Flower says he is running for Congress because
he was poor country lad. We thought he was run
ming because he is a millionaire.
The hveliest business at present is that of Demo-
cratic claiming" They claim Pennsylvania by
10000 majority New-York by 10000, and Virginia
and Mississippi by from 1000 to 10000. They are
able to announce of New-York that the Republicans
have Virtually given up the contest" 1t ox-
tremey generous of them to put in that word vir-
tually' There really was need Of it, and the lie
is no smaller with il than il wOuld have been with
ont il, but there is nothing mean about the DE o.
Gratis in matter of that kind. As for their claims
in general IL is not necessary To say anything about
them. The public has not forgotten that they
claimed Ohio by 10000 majority and that Cover
nor Fosters majority was $4,000. As prophets their
strongest point Is mOdesty.
The New-Yorll Democrats ask for change, and
they put at the head of their ticket a who has
been secession advocate and Greenbacker. Any
body who votes for him can be sure he will get q
change Ii lac be elected.
The rains did not come in the interest of the DEM
ocratic party. That is evident enough by the Dem
ocrac disgust at the sudden disappearance Of the
water famine issue.
The Brooklyn Democrats show symptoms Of pain

charging that his father was the first man to bring
Cinnamon to this country the tremendous idea
being that this viii stampede the laboriDg men by
raising before them the nightmare of Chinese cheap
labor This is a very feeble dodge. A more power

pensions, with special shirt-coar allowance for
