TnE writer of the broadway Note
Book" In the New York Tribune, SAYS:
This campaign will be Carl Schurz's
Charlottesville. His progress away
from the battle there is said to have
been gigantic. Arson MoCook
says the German Republicans in his dis
trict are enthusiastic for Blaine and
Logan and refer me to John p. Win
dolph for particulars. In short,
the Democracy has only one principle,
to get In. Next, to stay In. Third, to
clean things when in. to clean them
out And Judging by their selection of
agents to get in they will lick the plat
ter clean. Go to their Headquarters and
size up the character OF the people In
control there: Barnum, "Bill' Scott,
Thompson! Then transplant those TO
the capital Of the Republic and imagine
the carnival of reform to follow. Moth
ing will have equalled 1t since the dogs
got Jezebel. ~ Ohio has popula-

IL Is not two millions and half, but
3,l9s,0G2. So nearly is 1t an agricultural

TnE San Angelo Times Standard
breaches a sermon worthy of many read
ers, on the subject of newspaper influ-
ence and says: "When you hear a man
sneering at the local papers because they
are not as big, cheap or newsy as the

does not squander his wealth in assist

orally the papers have done more for
him than he has for them The man

JUST now many denials are being pub
lished regarding the market price of
nomination at the hands Of the Demo-
cratic county convention. Mr.. Copeland
denies the rumor that he paid 500 for
his nomination, and 1t doubtless should
be credited, for that looks to be some
thing like fancy price.
The San Antonio light. (San Antonio, Tex.) 1883-1886, 1884-10-04

The average price Of nomination at
the hands OF a Democratic county con-
vention would seem to be about $500, at
least some Of the parties who were nom
mated, 1t Is alleged, made offers to that
extent. One candidate said he could
not afford but 800, according to Mr..
Bees statement to an Express reporter,
and as he was not nominated, 1t goes al
most without saying that $500 is the
average price.

SAN ANTONIO, September 3, 1884.
We the undersigned citizens Of San
Antonio subscribe to the fact that we
know u man by the name OF Burnett,
from Junction City, Kimball county,
Texas, who came here as an invalid,
perfectly helpless, having been confined
to his bed for months and could not
move about except when lifted from his
bed by family and friends, and then with
much suffering. We know this patient
to have been treated by DIR. Weaihers of
this city, under whose care he remained,
until he left well and walking.

The State papers which were so bitter
on Governor Ireland only a few weeks
ago, are now Justify shouting his vir-
tues and his fame. The lash Of the
Democratic party has been tolerably ac-
tive, In quiet way, and the opposition
that knew him then knows him no more
until after the election. Truly this is
peculiar campaign.

wind and defective charity and under

OF the donkey. Two elements
OF our society are standing on great trial
now; the Germans and the opponents OF
liquor rule. A political organization
which has never been harsh or tyranni-
cal with any shade Of belief asks the
support OF patient, stable and grateful
men merely to elect an American Presl-
dent, so that the general progress OF
society shall not be causelessly dis
rupted. Anything fatal to the Republi-
can party as great integer Will dissolve
the past protective relations OF every
thing. Prohibition and the saloon may
fight each other for half n generation
and the country meantime become the
prey OF some INSCRIPTIONS foreign
agency which may be even now buying
up the socalled reform presses and look
ing for national decay in the United
States. There Is no real conflict be-
tween the respectable German and the
moral American. Neither fanaticism
nor responsibility can permanently
control here; but there Is the greatest
danger that by letting go OF long ce-
mented organizations certain limbo
may ensue prejudlcial TO everything
