BUFFALO Commercial Advertiser: The New.
York Sun supports (2) Cleveland by knocking
him with clubto prevent his falling fat
GROVER CLEVELAND only weighs 225 pounds.
This is, perhaps, the secret Of the New York
Suns hostility, as $50 pounds is Mr.. Dana's
standard for good man,
CINCINNATI Commercial Gazette Mcdonald is
reported by Senator Voorhees,, at Washington,
to have recovered from the wounds inflicted upon
him at Chicago. The plaster applied is said
to be place in the Cabinet of Cleveland
New YORK Tribune The party of purity and
reform has reached new stage and arrived at
delicate and beautiful distinction in morals. The
vital question now with that party and with It's
organ, the Evening Post, is: ''Was she wild

| CLEVELAND Leader While the Independents
are working industriously to patch up passable
4 record for Grover Cleveland the Democrats are

acceptable candidate.
New YORK Special: The betting on the presi-
/ Dental result of the year has been systematized
in New York, and, reduced to the simplest form
i of figures, is seven to five in favor Of Blaine.
4 Public opinion would warrant larger odds on the
i favorite. The current is beyond mistake for
Blaine, and grows stronger daily.
NEW YORK Sum Our grievance is of the sim
plest and plainest nature. There is nothing
about it to require investigation. We have
published it repeatedly, and will publish it again
i whenever it ls asked for We hold that Grover
i Cleveland is not fitted to be President, and that

A. GENTLEMAN who has been travelling in the

f. GATH A friend Of mine who has just
come from Blaine says that he is as
much fatalist on his election as he
was on his nomination. While he never
would give his nomination up as long as there
1 was a respectable hope. he never believed he
/ would get it unlesss it was in the book OF fate.
i He thought, however that a reasonable cheerfut-
ness toward fate was itself one of the signs Of
being predestined
The Illinois Stats zeitung says: ut must
give man who was Cabinet Minister under
Hayes for four years a queer feeling to find him
self walking hand in hand with those who de-
neunce the whole Hayes administration as q
/ shameless swindle. Mr.. Schurz is about to adj
dress public meeting in Brooklyn. We ven
t1re to suggest as comprehensive and taking
title for his discourse, and one which would be
very striking on campaign poster: How 1t

warmly congratulating Mr. Cleveland and his
friends and neighbors his nomination. That
was saidimmediately upon reception Of the news

1 a week after that. The ugly story is current all
