The Jersey Lilly, before departing for

caught blue fish; that she Is writing

and that she carries poodle dog. But

snobs in New York.
1t is said that Governor Cleveland, of
New York, has Withdrawn his sala-

will now be content if he can be elected
to the United States senate 1t Is cheer
ing to reflect that the governor has final

capacity OF his laundry.
Mr.. McGeoch, of lard fame, deserves
the credit of making an honest effort to
pay his losses. It is said that he has
sacrificed not only all of his own property
to meet the claims OF his creditors, but
that which he had previously transferred
TO his wife. He Is now a poor man, but
has energy aud ability, and is "going TO

A Mr. Clark having advised the col
ored voters of Ohio to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket, the Review. an organ of
the colored people, says: "Mr. Clark
would have the colored people kill the
goose that lays the golden egg because
she doesn't lay two day, and accept in
her stead, feed and keep fat, the goose
that has laid no eggs, and in the nature
of things never will and never can lay
any"
An amusing effort is being made by
the Democratic organs in Ohio to keep
up the party's courage by announcing
that thousands of Republicans will vote
for Hoadley in October" They fail,
however, TO name the men who are to
make up these thousands. Here is a
good chance for the Troy Chief. 1t had
a very interesting list of such gents
every week during the last presidential
campaign.
Sol Miller, of the Troy Chief, is rich
said to be worth $50. 900; Col. Anthony
of the LeaVenwOrth Times, +. p. Baker,
of the Topeka Commonwealth, and
John y. Gilmore, of the Fredonia CitI-
zen, are three other editors who are
wealthy. Miller and Gilmore made
their money exclusively in the newspa-
per business.-PaOlaR Republican.
We suppose Col. John A. Martin, of
the Atchison Champion, is the richest
editor in the state.
+ There Is much apathy apparent among
the Kentucky Democrats. They fail to
show any enthusiasm in the canvass, and
many of them admit that the party has
been put upon the defensive. Mr.. Wat
tersOn recognizes this indifference and
makes an effort to overcome it by cali
ing out: "HalloO, yon boys down in
the settlementsl Election days a
cOmin', and If you don't look out the in.
jins IL git you Stir yourselvesi Whoop
'em up. They have told a good many
lies about Kentucky, as 1t is. Demo
J Gratis, mind look to it that they have nc
chance to tell any more. The way to dc
that is to swell Knots majority" The
best way for Mr.. Watterson to get the
"bOys" to exhibit some interest in the
canvass is for him 10 show that the Re
publican charges of Democratic corrup
tion ara not true. Until he can do tina
he will probably shout in vain for thu
: rural Democrats to "whoOp 'em up"
