gTSThere Is reason to believe that
this country has, for this year at least,
escaped two plaques with which il was
threatened few months ago cholera
and Democracy.
nB-The Democracy pretendedly are
great friends Of labor. Hence its cardi-
nal maxim: "Slavery is the natural and
normal condition of the laborer, whether
white or black ~ Washington Times
Standard.
nS-"A man good enough to bo at the
hea d of Gartield's Administration is
of his own," said Judge Foraker in his
Brooklyn speech. And SO say the Amer
ican people.
B6-A talk about electing Butler
President by "throwing it into the
House, or enabling him by that method
to "hold the balance of power" is the
iveriest moonshine mere dog-day po.
litical rabies. Boston Herald.

His best work is far below his old aver

Hdg- Senator Hoar says: "Mr. Blaine
stands before the people as repre-
sentative American from the crown oil
his head to the sole of his feet-an
American of the John Quincy Adams,
Thomas Jefferson and George Wash
ington type"
kSs~ Mr.. Blaine has never allowed
himself 10 be kept on the defensive. He
will astonish and confound many of his
ended, and his friends need not be
alarmed by any new phase of the cam
paign. He is ready for any emergency.

Icn California being sure for Cleveland
lexcites only amusement in that State.
The San Francisco Bulletin, an inde-
pendent paper, has no doubt of a good
majority for Blaine and large Repub-
,lican gain for Congressman.
Ray-The editor of the Buffalo Courier
takes the trouble to deny that latter
reading Cleveland's letter to group of
gentlemen in the editorial room" he
remarked: "Tbe thinncss of the thin
that Boston girl was looking for has
been found.'' The significance of the
denial lies in the fact of its making.
BY~We are not living in Sodom, and
therefore need not resort to the impure
and morally depraved to fill the most
exalted station in the gift of the people
If we are moral Nation let us continue
to keep ourselves clean. If we prefer
virtue to vice let us frown down every
attempt to honor those who bear the
character of moral lepers. = Cleveland
Leader.
BsS~In their wrath and disappoint-
ment the Cleveland organs are calling
the New York Sun idiotic, as we'll as
,treacherous and ugly. This is absurd.
Whatever else the Sun may be, it is
far from idiotic or even dull. In its
imeanest moments it is bright and dan
gerous to its opponents, and this very
knowledge of its power is what makes
the Cleveland boomers rage.
DB~ Theodore Roosevelt did more to
pass the municipal reform bills which
constitute Cleveland's chief political
capital than any other man, and he
knows more about them, and he says
emphatically that Governor Cleveland
is very remarkable reformer-for q
Democrat; but that he distinctly failed
to show himself equal to the full neces-
sites and opportunities of his position.

Bas-The letter OF acceptance written
by Mr.. Blaine is document in which
all Republicans should take great
deal of pride. l have read it very care
fully and regard it as one of the most
remarkable political papers ever writ
ten. 1t is like the writer, frank and
open. do not regard it as too long,
as he could not have so thoroughly cov-
cred the questions which all lovers OF
our country are interested in so deeply
in shorter one. 1t is beyond doubt
one of the ablest papers ever given to
the public. -EG-P President U. S. Grant.
Bas"I feel it my duty to say that
lived neighbor to Mr.. Blaine four or
five years; that have been intimately
acquainted with him for the last thirty
years, and that should as soon think
of raising question on his character
and habits as on the character and
habits OF Neal Dow or Ex-Governor
Dingley. This is no more than Iwould
say OF any true man of any political
party. Mr.. Blaine is man, and, like
all men, has made mistakes, but he is
pure, temperate, honest and truthful
o statesman the world over, SO his SIAN
derers can not hurt him. President
Cheney of Bates College.
ad- The Democracy only use Mr..
Cleveland in order to secure as
sistance from the Independents
and the people know it, and they
also know that the Democracy, Il
it gains the Office, will rule. No indi.
Hidual man or weak ally like the indie.
pendents will rule them, or even help
rule. If the Democratic party gets in
power it is going to rule. We know
to our sorrow how it has ruled in the
past. What it has done in the past we
may be sure 1t will repeat in the future.
The little moral element the Indepen-
dents will add won't redeem the De.
mocracy in their day of power. -Na.
