DEMOCRATIC TICKET.


DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
For President:
GROvKR-CLEvELAND, Of New York.
For Vice-P. esident:
THOMAS A. HENDRICKS. Of Indiana.
Wisconsin Scandinavians will join
the Germans of that State in oppoe
ing the election OF Blaine. Wiscon
may be put down as reasonably SUR
for Cleveland.
It is said there is to be a magnif:
cent opening of Blaine barrels about
October. "Soap" will be lavishly
used in the doubtful states at that
time by Jones, Elkins, ct al.
AS to the matter of experience, the
New York Herald calls attention to
the performance of Mr.. Cleveland in
the mayors office at Buffalo and the
governors Office of New York, and
observes that Mr.. Blaine's only ex-
ecutive experience was in the office
of secretary ofstate, and that Showed
an amusing mixture of ignorance
and recklessness."
Little Johnnie Davenport's attempt
to make political capital against the
Democracy by the publication of his
expose of the authorship of the Morey
letter missed fire. Hadley says
Davenport lies and Davenport has
failed to make good his charges
against the Suspect" There will
be no Morey business in this cam-
paign.
It should be understood that the
next Government official who adve-
Gates and urges an Arctic expedition
must give his consent to accompany
the same, with the understanding
that he must offer himself for lunch
con as soon as the starvation point is
reached. Such q course would dis
courage further attempts by ambi-
tious Government officials to accom-
plish the impossible.
MI. Wilder, member of the United
States board of animal industry, re-
quests the cattle men of Montana to
send him q list of all deaths in their
herds with cause of same, from jan
uary last to date. These reports
should include the kind of cattle
which have died. The task is not
an easy one for stockmen as Mon
tana herds are free from the diseases
which now prevail among cattle in
the Mississippi states. Mr.. Wilder's
address is Eldora, Kansas.
Omaha Herald. The San credits
Mr.. Blaine with ''smartness" in
bringing a suit for libel against an
offender in Indiana. Nobody ques-
lions Mr.. Blaine's smartness. 1t was
a mixture of smartness, audacity and
personal dishonor which enabled
him to steal the evidences of his own
infamy from honest, confiding Mr..
Mulligan. 1t was high cunning that
enabled him to shut off his examina-
ton and conviction tor rascality by
fleeing from the house to the senate
as a place of final refuge and safety.
Mr.. Blaine is smart, but nobody sus-
poets him of being honest.
The following from the Pittsburg
Post may be read with profit by labor
ing men everywhere: We have
abundant evidence of how Mr..
Blaine feels toward us here. He is
one of the heaviest stockholders in
the coal and ore mines at Elk Gar
dens, w. Va, and In the past year
this company has imported the ma
of their laborers, and their
to- day are filled with foreign
ers, principally Italians. This is the
in which we are interested,
and if Mr.. Blaine expects to get the
labor vote of this country he must
better than employ foreign talent
in the work In which he is inter-
ested.
Thesinking of the Tallapoosa is one
of those accidents which is becoming
too frequent to inspire confidence
among those whose business COM !
pels them to trust their lives in sea
zoing vessels. Barring diverse ele- |
ments there is no reason why ones ]
property or life should not be as safe
upon the water az upon the land. I
The present age has Witnessed such {
Improvements in ocean navigation !
that it seems but little margin is
for future advancement in that
direction, still scarcely q week passes /
hat does not record ocean disasters +
rom collision of vessels. There is =
something wrong in this condition q
II things which calls for correction. t
4 it is not rank carelessness upon |
he part of masters of the vessels the 4
fails to see the cause. b
World. Benjamin F. Butler, who I
8 being advertised as the gentleman b
Who is fitted by nature and instinct b
reform the government of the o
United States, has a professional in
'ome of 100000 per year. His big
awyer fees come almost exclusively p
rom the m~onopolists who employ : L
i'm to defend them in the courts. u
lis smallest fee is generally $1,000, 9
nd it is q pretty big monopoly that a
IN enjoy the luxury of his legal tai ,

ome from the exclusive monopoly of =,
Manufactured bunting enjoyed by a z,
ompany in which he is heavy stock tc
older. These qualifications are said q 4
endear him to the anti.monopoly ~
