THE FACT should not be lost sight OF that
all the reported democratic opposition to
Governor Cleveland in New York could
have been avoided if the Governor had
granted the personal requests made by the
men who are now the leaders of that oppo.
sition. But the Governor kept the faith,
and, though warned, unhesitatingly sacri-
feed personal interests for the good of his
State. The interests of the whole country
cannot be in dangerif entrusted to the hands
of such man.

BISHOP SPALDING, in an article In the
September number of the North american
Reuiew, says ''the republican party has done
its work, and now bars the way to other
conquests Multitudes Of its adherents per-
ceive this and they are waiting for its death
knell as the signal Of hope" The Bishops
idea is that the salvation Of the country lies
In the raising up of new political party !;
that that can not be done until the dissolution
of one of the existing parties, and that as the
democratic party ''is not subject to death"
the future welfare of the nation depends
upon the defeat aud extinction of the repub-
lican party. There is no doubt Of the fact
that there are hundreds OF thousands OF
voters in the country, especially in the
South, to whom some of the democratic
leaders and many of the democratic meas
ures are bitter pills, but who are compelled
to swallow them, solely by reason of the
worse men and measures offered them by
the republicans. Let the republican party
be killed and buried, and u new party,
founded npon national principles aud led
by able, honest and patriotic men, rise in
its place, and the solid South would melt
aWay like snow wreaths in thaw.

A LIVELY EPGsoDE.-Two men entered a
barber shop about 10 O'Clock Saturday
morning, and after removing their hats and
coats sat in the BARRIERS chairs in wcaried
sort Of way. One of the two said he wanted
to Ge sh&,npooed, while the other asked to
he shaved Two BARRIERS went TO work on
the pair and bail finished operations when
the man WHO WAS being shaved jumped up
excitcdly from the chair and yelling out,
They are after me, ran from the place.
The mau who was being shanpooed got
quickly from his seat, and, with a head full
of soap, ran out after his companion.
a little later in the day General HenryA
Barnum, chairman of the democratic State
committee, called at Police Headquarters
and caused Il general alarm to be sent out
for half shaved man and who was de-
mented.
1t was afterward learned that the mis-.
sing man was prominent politician of
Rochester and an intimate friend of General
Barnum, who was on visit to this city.
General Barnum, when questioned, said
that the missing man returned to the Nor
ton House Saturday night in an exhausted
condition. He had been i'll ever since and
under physicians care. The General re-
fused To divulge the name of his friends
companion, but it was limited by several
persons that the companion was the Gen.
elal himself.-N. I. Herald.

NUMEROUS CASES OF mscegenation are
now being reported in different parts of the
country north of the Potomac. As General
Malone is in favor Of the obliteration of all
race distinctions, as Governor Cameron APP
pointed his negro body servant trustee
of the white female schools of Richmond,
and rs both these worthless are headlights
among the Southern republicans, the
tendency of the improbable revival of Ma
honeism in Virginia would be toward the &C.
currence of similar cases in this State.

A GERMAN Blaine club has been organ
lied in Washington. But investigation
proves that it is composed almost entirely
of Office holders. Most all the republican
clubs, no matter of what nationality they
be, seem to be either formed of or Differed
by federal employees. And this, too in the
face of an unrevoked executive order pro.
hibiting such men from taking an active
part in politics. But Mr.. Blaine and Gen
eral logan would have the country believe
that they are great civil service reformers.

FROM AN article in the present number OF

the whole country must depend upon the
South for its supply of native stock, as 1t
contains less than ona per cent. of foreign

not likely to be increased as the presence
Of the negroes keeps away foreign lmmi-

by this estimate it will be seen that Governor
Cleveland would have IS electoral votes more
than are necessary to elect. Surprising through
the trcschrry Of Tammany and detection tn
Butler he should lose the 80 votes Of New York
he would still be elected Under this estimate he
could further afford to lose the % votes Of Ohio
and also the & of West Virginia.
The probabilities are that Cleveland will carry
Ohio and Wisconsin, in view of the republican
holt and the tremendous German detection from
that party in the Western States
