WE are glad to see that the Democrat
ic press-that is to say, the intelligent
and self'respecting portion of the Demo.
cratic press-is not lending itself to the
gross personal ISLANDERS of Mr.. Blaine
whose confutation would weaken those
charges respecting his oflicia career
which can be rightfully brought against
this brilliant but erratic and vulnerable
Republican leader. We are pleased to
note, from its issue of August 18th, that
that bright and versatile metropolitan
organ of the Democracy, the New York
World, takes exactly the stand assumed
from the first by the HERALD. We
quote:
Mr.. Blaine's action in directing the
prosecution of the Indianapolis Sentinel
for the publication of a scandal against
his personal character and that of Mrs.
Blaine will attract general attention.
We deeply regret that the campaign
has fallen to this debased level. We
have used our best efforts to prevent it
by the suppression of all personal
charges. A hundred letters, many of
them from responsible parties, have
reached us regarding the Republican
candidates private character, and we
have destroyed them all. Net even the
mean and cowardly assaults on Governor
Cleveland could tempt US thus far to re-
taliate in kind.
We make war on candidates public
record, not on his private relations.
There is enough that is open to attack
in Mr.. Blaine's official life without in.
quiring into his bachelor or family life.
The public interest demands that we
shall unsparingly oppose the venal and
corrupt official acts of a man who has
been unfaithful to his public trusts aud
who seeks to carry his pernicious prac-
tices into the Presidency. Mr.. Blaine
has used the power and influence of the
Speakership, first to interfere with legis-
Iation and next to secure from rich rail-
road magnates the payment for his serv-
ices. This we charge, and hold it to be
fully proved by Mr.. Blaine's letters, even
in the form in which he allowed them to
be given to the public. But with Mr..
Blaine as private citizen, and with his
family history, good or bad, we would
rather have nothing to do.
Certainly the alpha and omega of the
situation could not be put more grace
fully or convincingly than in the fore.
going. Mr.. Blaine is surely one oi
the most pernicious public men that ever
figured in American politics. A grave
error would be committed by Democrats
were they to shift the controversy from
his private to his public career. Person
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1884-08-22

The letter of acceptance Of Governor
Cleveland Is singularly unpreten-
tious and modest document. As con
trasted with the prolix epistle Of Mr..
Blaine 1t gains decidedly from NIL points
of view. Tho truth is that the Repub-
lican candidate for President. who is at
best but sort of political Robert
Macaire, attempted, in his yoluminous
letter Of acceptance, to impose upon the
credulity of the American people, and to
pass off upon them certain Brummagem
wares as genuine statesmanship. Mr..
Blaino trimmed his sails to catch the
unthinking vote. Gov. Cleveland dis
dams such articles. Without any of
the elaboration which Is 80 apparent in
the lengthy effort of his adversary, the
Democratic nominee gives in his hearty
adhesion to the Democratic platform,
and he indulges IN n few pregnant sug-
gestions which are, in truth, the key
notes Of our politics. He says in one
passage of this State paper that the
people Of the United States are practi.
cally not freemen, owing to the interposi.
tion Of an Insulting and exaeting bureaus
cracy. enriched through its possession OF
office, using that very money and its
consequent inAence to perpetuate itself
in power. An illustrious predecessor of
Gov. Cleveland, Mr.. Iilden, put this
truth in different way when he said
that, so strongly has the Republican
party entrenched itself in power, that it
requires n Democratic vote of two.,hirds
of the people to make itself eiiectual.
The next most striking delivery Of the
Democratic candidate is where he ex-
presses the opinson that the President
of the United States shonld be ineligible
for reelection. We have no doubt but
that this idea will shortly be authorita-
lively formulated in the organic law of
the land. One Of the good features of
the Confederate Constitution was that
which made the term of its executive
seven years and rendered him ineligible
for reelection. There had been much
thought about this feature of our Con.
stitution prior to the rebellion Of 1860
81, and, undoubtedly, if the men who
framed the Constitution of 1857 had had
the lights which exist to-day they would
have introduced feature in that
instrument which would have re.
moved from the President the tempta.
tion to intrigue for his own reelection.
Gov. Cleveland expresses preference
for Presidential term of six years, with
ineligibility to reelection. In other por-
tions Of his letter the Democratic candi.
date for President shows himself re-
sponsive to the keynotes of the Chicago
Convention and to the demands of the
hour. He avows that active sympathy
which all honest men know to exist be-
tween the Democratic standard. bearer
and the men who earn their bread by
tho sweat of their brows. The cham
pion joke Of the age is involved in
Blaine posturiaing as q friend of the
working man. The truth is that, of all
our public men of later days, he has
been tho most servile tool of capital;
while Grover Cleveland, in his letter of
acceptance, as in his whole career, has
been the sterling and consistent friend
OF the wage-earning classes.

CLEVELAND, o., Aug. 2l.-A sailor of
the schooner Keepsake, standing upon
the hank of the river at thefoot OF South
Water street, observed man emerge
from clump of bushes near the stream,
carrying q 22-calibre revolver in his
hand. He placed the weapon against
his abdomen and fired, but did not fall.
The cylinder refused to revolve, and,
turning it with his fingers, the man fired
again into his abdomen. Failing once
more in his suicidal purpose, tho man,
in desperation, plunged headlong into
the river. The spectator was too dumb.
founded to render any assistance, but
having heard the firing, hurried to the
scene and drew the unfortunate man out
of the water. He was not dead. In his
delirium he was unable to give any ac-
count Of himself or to explain the motive
of his attempted crime. AH immense
roll of money was found on his person,
though his apparel was that of tramp.
