New \ Ork journal. II T. an cncollF-
aging sign of the times that temper
ancc, or tcrtotali>n. has bccon" an
important factor in our National
politics. Time was when the candi
date who could consume the greatest
quantity of old port wa- likely to- hr
the popular man, when to bc tcrto-
taller was equivalent to being beaten.
That day has passed and the blue rib
bon is now no longer badge of weak
ness or CtiininaCS.
Memphis Appeal While Blaine has
blazcd athwart the political tirrna-
mcnt like meteor, the record of
Cleveland has been as steady and
bright n II fixed star Blainc's record
is his great weakness that of tlrvc-
land hi- tower of strength. Every
recurrence to his official acts shows
the solid character of the man. While
he was MAYOR of buffalo II bill was
pusscd by the city council for the sole
purpose to make place in the fire de
partlnent for iavoritc partizans.
In vctoing the bill Cleveland gave cx-
preston to the following sentiment:
Il believe in an open and sturdy par
tiznnship, which secures the Legitimate

parties were made for the people, and

assent to measures purely partisan,
which will sacrifice or endangcr their
interests
Philadelphia Times: This is the
era ofpoliiical independence. For th"
first time since the organization of
present parties, party disciplln" Is
powcrlcss, the party whips paral Nzcd,
the party organ is unhccdcd. and
regulation partisan scandals viii fall
harmless to the ground. All the old
party methods are Valuclc>e u, impor-

Deliberately elect the next president.
/ If they want Grover Cleveland. they
will elect him with or without the aid
OF Butler or Kelly, and if they want
James &. Blaine. they will elect him
without the aid of assessments of
dVnamiicrs. of labor spectators or of
party machinery.
Broadstrrct's The stock market
has been on the jump nearly every
day during the past week. and tue
buving fever has ragged in Wall street
fully as strong N, the selling fever did
some time hack. The bull party l. in
complete possession for the time being
and the great boar operators have
either Withdrawn or are standing idly
bV, look ing ON at what they cannot
prevent Among those who Withdrew
sometime ago was Mr.. tammack. He
l. known to have made very heavy
profits ON the bear side, and lac drew
out of the market and got away with
them before the upward turn began
to get under way MIR. Wu"ri,huiirr
the acknowledged bear leader, has not
left the street. nor has lac changed his
views or position in the market: but
seeing the usrlc,>nr>o OF opposing the
movement, which had got such strong
hcadWaN, he seems 10 have cOntcntcd
himself with watching. other bear
operators are doing the same. and in
consequence the market has been kept
at the boiling point, with MIR. Nonld
directing the feeding of the furnaces.
OF course all the rank and file of Wall
street are now furious bulls, and the
usual predictions. that the turn on the
upside has come 10 stay, that h"liqlli-
dntiun is done and hereafter every
l thing will be on the improve, may br
heard on all sides
