 Hartford Post A short time before the death of Major Calvin Day it was as- certained that the American mills at Rock vile, of which company he was the presi- dent, were embarrassed financially. Major Day, though under no legal obligation to do so, promptly assumed the obligations, and the papers were being drawn up fol the transfer at the time of his death, but had not been signed.

THE Hartford Times heads long edito- rial with ,'let it be good-natured cam paign," and attests it's sincerity in the de- sire by these closing words:
 And the people of this country are be- ginning to know MT. Blaine they know him as corrupt politician, whose cor ruption has been proved, over his own signature, in the Fisher letters, written when he was speaker. They can be safely left to dispose of him-and the democrats. if they make no great blunder now, can af- ford to go good d-naturedly through this cam- paign, feeling the assurance that the Mo- vember verdict will be all right.
 Truth gives some statistics about cholera visitations in New York. It became ep- idemic there for the first time in 1882. when the city was village compared with the metropolis of today, and the deaths from disease that year were 3,513. In 1884 there were 871 deaths from the same malady. In 1849 there was another ep. idemic, the deaths by cholera reaching 5,O71. In 1852 many of the interior towns were visited by the scourge, but New York had only 374 fatal cases. Two years later in 1854-there was an epidemic for the third time, with 2, 5O9 deaths, and the last time was in 1866, when the deaths were 1,137. From 1852 to 1874 there was not a year without cholera cases in the city. Since then, however, only two cases were reported, both of these occurring in 1877.

newspapers that can defend Blaine

0~LEvELAND's TARIFF VIEWS

An Eastern Republican exchange
rises to remark that "Cleveland Is
the only Presidential candidate in
the field who refuses to declare his
tariff principles in bold, plain
language"
That is news, If it isn't the truth.
Here in the wild, free and unfettered
West the people are under the i'm
preston that Governor Cleve-
land declares his principles in bold
plain language as follows:
I'm making reductions in taxes it
is not prosed to injure any domestic
industries. but rather to promote
their healthy growth.
Many industries have come to re-
ly upon legislation for successful
continuance, so that any change of
law at every step should be regardful
OF the labor and capital thus in
v0lved.
Inc necessary reduction In taxa
ton can and must be effected with
out depriving American labor of the
ability to compete successfully with
foreign labor, and without imposing
lower rates of duties than will be
ample to cover any Increased cost of
production which may exist in cor
sequence of the higher rate of wages
prevailing in this country"
This is the tariff plank in the Ma
tional Democratic platform, the let
ter and spirit of which Mr.. Cleve-
land heartily endorses in his letter of
acceptance. Can words be holder
and plainer?" Don't burn this.

JUST RIGHT.

In 1876. when Mr.. Blaine came
within twelve votes of q nomination,
and within several degrees Fahren-
heit of a sunstroke, the Chicago zri-
bune, a Blaine organ, objected to him
because his candidacy would put the
Republicans on the defensive and en-
sure certain defeat in the end. 1t
said:
In such a campaign, the presiden-
tial defendant will be forced to take
the stump in his own behalf, and he
will be obliged to 60 from Stste to
State and from city to city explain
ing, protesting and asseverating that
In his own record, made by himself,
there Is nothing inconsistent with
the character of q reformer.
Eight years later this prophecy
comes true. Blaine himself is forced
to take the stump in his own behalf,
his campaign is q defensive one and
the end awaiting him, certain defeat.
The Tribune was right aud has Justly
earned a place among the political
seers of the age.

There is a good deal of speculate a
as to what Carl Shurz will do after

Press.
Well, yes. He may 60 to Germany
as the American plenipotentiary, or
he may decide to rest on his laureIs.
A man who can decline a cool omar
ter of a million may not care exactly
for an office, and rest content in the
consciousness of having done his
duty towards saving the country
from Blaineism. 1t is hard to saw
lust what Carl Shurz will do af to
the campaign is over.
