A Vicious but Feeble Kick.

or DR.. Forrest, the Republican presi-
dental elector who resigned because
he could not support Blaine, the Chi
cago Inter Ocean says:
He was selected as one OF the thirty-six
Republican presidential electors to which
New York is entitled. well-lSnowing that the
acceptance OF the trust honorably bound him
10 cast his vote for the nominees OF the Re
publican convention. lie did accept and so
obligated himself TO the performance OF
specific duty.
That kick of the Inter Ocean is as
vicious as il is feeble. Such logic as
this, IL admitted, would condemn the
world TO eternal death, for it would
exclude repentance and reformation.
DIR. Forrest had not the evidence of
the latest published Mulligan letters to
assist him in determining the character
Of the Republican candidate when he
accepted his nomination. After read
ing those letters he could not support
their author, and resigned. And the
Republican press tells him that he did
dishonest thing, Queer moral phi
losophy.

THERE is much being said about
BlaIne's thrift in politics. Itwould
be fearful boom to political rascality

OF all men even in Texas, where men
have honesty thrust on them, all the
doubled backs pulling out for tall
timber would not be Republican backs.

The Clay Southern Telephone COM
pany filed its certificate of incorpora-
tion September 20 In the county clerk s
office. 1t has capital stock of $780,
600, divided into $500 shares of 500
each, with the right to increase it TO
$500, 900, II it should be deemed neces-
sary. The corporators and directors Of
the company and the numoer OF shares
held by each are: VIM. f. Lett, 600
shares; Seth r. Beckwith, 600 shares;
Geo. w. Palmer, 600 shares; Alfred w,
Jones, 600 shares, and Divide Dupre,
100 shares. This company, like the
Clay Telephone company and Over
land of Philadelphia, will probably do
little beyond working the usual stock
racket OF loading up the lambs.

Suggestion to MIR. Blaine.
Chlcago Hefald.

Chicago Herald.
If Mr.. Blaine could discover a starv-
ing coal mine owner, an iron mill
manager whose family we're ia rags, a
plate-glass manufacturer who had had
no fire in his cook stove for three
months, a sick steel manufacturer
whose wife was forced to work in the
field to support him and their
children, or coal railroad stock
holder who was tramping around
looking for job while his family lam
guished in the poor house, he would
make great strike. The singular
thing about the wonderful prosperity
of this country which makes MIR.
Blaine so glad is that It seems to be
confined TO comparatively few people
The protected woIllingmen, whom all
the politicians are anxious to dignity,
elevate and ennoble, do all the starv-
ing and sbivering.

ingly successful canvass, Mr. Tilden,
IN responce to serenade, made Il
speech, in which occurred this pas
sage:
Tho Federal Government is drifting into great
or dangers and greater evils. 1t Is rushing on
ward in u career Of centralism, absorbing all
governmental powers and assuming to manage
all the affairs OF human society. II undertakes
TO direct the business of individuals by tariffs
not intended for legitimate taxation, granting
special privileges and fostering monopoies at
the expensee of the people.
The Tilden Of 1874 was the Tilden
of 1865. The Tilden of 1884 is the
Tilden of 1874 and 1855. Neither
Eaton nor Randall nor Converse nor
any one of the men who united with
the Republicans on the Morrison bill
can show single expression of Mr.,
Tilden, written or spoken, in favor OF
II protective tariff or the principle or
policy of protection.
If he were in public life or expected
to again take an active part in the
business Of the Democratic party and
the people they would not dare to at
tempt to excuse their traitorous con,
duet by the false charge that he is a
Protectionist, even as they are.
The record of Samuel j. Tilden on
the tariff is that of consistent Demo
crat. All honor to hilv.-IFashingtO'
