MIR. stan Little has received the Dem
ocratic nomination for State Senator in
Monmouth county. 1t will be touching
and interesting spectacle to see the Tren-
ton True american boom Mr.. Little.
At last Mr.. Cleveland has condescended
to refer to the tariff. His name for tariff
agitation is "other paths of irrelevant
discussion. That will do, Grover. Won
der what the Democratic victim of 1888
will call it.
President Woolsey, of Yale, publicly
announces that "there can be no doubt
that Mr. Blaine ought to be supported"
as against Mr.. Cleveland. "The latter"
writes the Yale President, ''seems to me
a very small man, aud unable to act indie
pendently on important questions"
The Democratic campaign in behalf of
official purity, morality, &C., goes bravely
on In Hudson County, Charles f. Rub,
who was few years ago convicted of
bribery while member of the Legisla-
ture and sent 20 tho State Prison, has
again been nominated for the Assembly.
Forty-one Democratic members of tho
House voted against the mischievous
HORIZONTAL tariff bill, and one Hundred
and .ffty one in favor of it, This dispos-
es of the shallow pretense that the tariff
question is not an issue in this campaign,
and that the Democratic party is sound
upon the question any way.

| Rev. DIR. Wilkinson, one of tho keenest
| literary critics of this country, says in
| last weeks Independent that "the ground
of suspicion that Mr.. Blaine was not
above improper uses of official influence
as aloso fer 0ae chiefly removed by the sup
Elementary Mulligan documents. That
is the way the last assault upon Mr..
Blaine has reacted in his favor.
The Now York Herald makes the bril-
liant point that Mr.. Blaine must be a dis
honest man because he kept the company
of such arrant knayes as Mulligan and
Fisher. Tho Herald seems to forget that
as soon as he found out that they were
knayes Mr.. Blaine quarreled with and cut
them.
Referring to the malignity and mean
ness of the assault upon Mr.. Blaine, in
which his family affairs were brought
into" the canvass, oven the New York
Times is moved to say
"The statement which Mr.. Blaine
makes in his letter to Mr.. William Wal
ter Phelps should close all lips upon a
subject which has been introduced and
discussed in this campaign only where
manliness was forgotten"
Rev. DR.. Leonard w. Bacon was par
ticipant in the Independent Conference
held some time since in New York, but
he now rejects Cleveland. He says he has
learned that Gov. Cleveland sis a man of
dull mind and of coarse nature, and Cat
least until recently of lewd habits.

| Rev. DIR. Crosby, who also participated in
the Conference, likewise rejects Cleve-
land and says he shall vote for st. John.
Tho New York Times is unable to un-
derstand why the Republicans should
object TO tho sale of copies of the Multi
gan letters at the Blaine receptions out
West by hired agents of the Democratic
National Committee, if said letters are
harmless. Because the letters are ac-
companied by lying and misleading COM
ments and it is n dirty and dishonorable
trick to circulate such documents under
such circumstances.
A young limb of tho law, usually
known among his Now York associates
as "Chit, has obtained much free adver-
Using in tho columns of the Now York
Euening Post by Offering to bet Mr. Will
liam Walter Phelps large amount of
money that he (Mr. Phelps) could not Sc
cure from ex-President Woolsey an opin-
ion favorable to Mr.. Blaine, apropos of
the Mulligan letters. Mr.. Phelps took
no notice of "Chit," to tho great delight
of the Pharisee newspapers, which de-
clared that this silence settled tho case.
But Brooklyn man, bent on getting tho
facts, wrote to tho venerable ex- President,
asking for information. DIR. Woolsey not
only says that "Mr. Blaine cannot have
acted dishonorably in his transaction
referred to, but he adds that "Mr. Blaine
ought to be supported and that he re-
CARDS Cleveland rs "a very small man. :"
This seems to settle young "Chit" with
out any intervention on the part of Mr..
William Walter Phelps.

lie has replied that he is Cor Blaine and
Logan. He says that he has, with I'M
selfish steadfastness, urged tho claims of
the Democratic party to fuller recogni-
ton for many years, but the nomination
of Cleveland has destroyed all his hopes
in the direction of return to those prin-
ciples from which the party has drifted.
He says that Cleveland's "every act as
Governor of this State is direct and open
insult to his supporters so far as such
acts relate directly to or would help the
masses of tho people. lie presents the
spectacle of an official posing as reform
er and Democrat without particle of

Rev. George B. Wight, well-known
and highly esteemed Methodist clergyman
of this State, replies to letter of in
quiry that, while he is Prohbitionist,
he is not in sympathy with the st. John
movement, because "the question of Pro-
hibition, while of national importance, is
made local one by the Constitution of
the United States that is, is reserved to
the respective States, and within the lin
its of those States, at their State county,
municipal and township elections, the bat
tie must be fought until tho victory is
won. There are other questions, however,
of grave national Importance which,
equally with that of Prohibition, demand
the careful attention of every citizen.
These questions are not for States TO de-
tcrmine, but are to be decided at the ma
tional elections. Upon such occasions,
therefore, | must vote for national meas
ures, leaving all other questions to be set
tied at the proper time and place" All
of which is very sound and sensible talk.
