POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.

I6rTho Cleveland Democrats are
getting blue In the face. They are more
remote from victory to-day than when
they placed their moral prodigy in
nomination. "Whom the gods would
destroy they first make mad."-M X
Globe.
p6-General Grant has declined q
place on the Republican electoral ticket
as he sis out OF politics." He has
evinced his interest in Republican sue
cess, however, by the statement that
never before was 1t so essential as 1t will
be this year.
B6-The general judgement Of the
Democratic press Is that Mr.. Blaine's
trip West is Fan insult to the people"
This is the first time in history, we be-
lieve, that the people have been known
to drop their business and gather in
great, enthusiastic crowds just to get
themselves insulted.
B6-An Eastern Democratic editor
wrote: "There are more Democratic
banners In this town than any other Of
Its size IN the State" When, however,
the enterprising printer made 1t Dem
ocratic bummers," the editor took to
the woods, and is having camp-meet-
ing all by himself. San francisco Post.
B1-The people of Vermont are to be
congratulated on the healthy condition
of their finances, as exhibited in Gov
ernor Pingree's message to the Legisla-
ture. The excess of available assets
over liabilities is $4,000. Vermont Is
not a doubtful State. II is always
Republican. which probably accoun S
for this admirable showing.
D65-About all there ever was Of
Grover Cleveland was the 100000 ma
lority inflicted upon him, like molasses
poured on fly, by Republicans. The
molasses has now been poured of, and
the empty measure contains the fly and
some few dudes with their wings stuck
together, unable TO get out, unfit to be
eaten, too sweet to separate. Gath.
B6rAn itemized bill Of particulars.
published by the National Republican,
shows that in thirty-one years of Demo-
cratic administration the sums due the
Government from Democratic deiaulters
were Sl9,496,Sjl 16, all still due and
unpaid. That is pretty record be-
hind party that is bowling for reform
as plea for getting into power again!
Ba~If Mr.. Blaine tuir is so unbecom
ingand 50 damaging, as the Democratic
papers say, we should think they would
encourage him to prolong it, instead Of
clamoring so loud against it, and telling
him how much better II is for a Presi-
lential candidate to stay at homo with
his mouth locked and the combination
lost, like nice, modest, self-contained
Mr. Cleveland. d.-SL Louis Globe Demo-
crdt.
B8-The Boston Post, faithful Dem
ocratic laborer, announces that Mr..
Tilden is soon TO sail on his yacht for
the West Indies to be gone for six
months. Mr.. Tilden will thus be un.
able to 20 to the polls, or in any way
to manifest that zeal for Mr.. Cleveland
which has not yet found expression
even in the long promised letter fol
which the faithful have been so long
waiting.
q Bd-The New York Sun, speaking fol
ito own party, says that 1.-THE defeat OF
Grover Cleveland is the most important
service that can now be rendered to the
Democracy. In this view of the case
the Republicans are likely to fulfill the
Scriptural injunction by doing good tC
their enemies; for the defeat of Cleve'
lana is precisely the service they arr
likely to render to the Democracy. -
