The Rrcnkfnsf.

Sidney Smith once said that breakfast was
so pleasant because nobody was conceited
before one O'Clock. In truth, most peopje
are at their best at this hour: they have been
refreshed with sleep, the annoygnces of the
previous day have stepped into the back
ground or have proved of no account. the
odor of hot coffee stimulates their appetites
they are beginning the journey OF another
day, and, like all journeys there is more or
less excitement and expectation about it:
who knows what pleasant things may happen
therein, what charming com uanions NAV be
starting out to meet US. what letters the uost-
man may be at that minute taking from the
mailbag for US, what checks the publishers
may be that instant signing in our behalf.
Possibly by the dinner time We NAV be
disillusiOned and out oil temper; the hap
piness we looked for may have failed us, the
friends We counted upon may have disap-
pointed Us, the editor may have declined our
ode which was 70 make our name a haose-
bold word, the mailbag may have been
robbed, duns may have assailed us; but in
the morning at breakfast the world is before
NJ where 10 choose, another page of that in
teresting romance, everyday life, is open
ing before US, and all the sweetness and
light Of our being displays itself that is to
say, unIess We DelOng 10 tnaL Class OF people
do not "cOme down to breakfast as if a
piece Of good fortune had happened to them
over night who rise out Of temper with
nothing in particular bat the world in gen
eral, and continue irritable and disagreeabIe
till their appetites are satisfied.
1t is charitable to suppose that this pecu-
liarity is owing to an empty stomach, but all
the same these are not the kind Of people
one would wish sit down with; they are a
blot upon the serenity Of the hour, a rebuke
to US, as il our ght-heartnedness were only
a makeshift Of frivolity, as though they
really believed We we're as glum as they, but

HONEST GROTER CLEYELzSD

The following letter needs no comment or
introduction except to tell who wrote it. 1t
was written by Judge Smith of the Supreme
court of Buffalo to his friend Hon. Philo Par
sons, of Detroit, in reply to letter from
Mr.. P. making inquiries for his own inform
alton as to the character and standing OF
Grover Cleveland. Judge Smith tells the
truth:
Governor Cleveland is an upright, honest
man. of ncorruptible integrity, of fair abilities,
of untiring industry and great capacity for labor
He has administered the various Offices he has
held wisely and we'll, making fewer errors, per-
haps, than a more brilliant man might have
done. He is one of those men who are always
adequate 10 the duties of the place they are
called to fill. He has always been considered
here a strong partisan, but think he is capable
of preferring the good OF his country to that of
his party, where they conflict and the conflict is
perceived by him. He is plain man, without
pretense or ostentaton, modest in prosperity,
not elated by success beyond reason, and with a
good, solid common sense that stands in good
stead on all occasions. / am personally friendly
to Governor Cleveland, but 1 shall vote the Re-
publican ticket.

Especial Correspondence of the Globe.
WATERFOWL, Oct. %. The largest and
perhaps the most enthusiastic political meet
ing ever held in Watertown was held in
Koehler's hall this evening. The meeting
was called to order at eight o'clock by Viii
liam Mcleod, ESQ.,, who introduced Mr.. Don
nelly in glowing terms. He said: SIT gives
me great pleasure to have the honor of intro
ducing to you Minnesota's greatest orator.
statesman and author, Hon. Ignstius Don
nelly, candidate for congress from this dis
trict. His literary works are pronounced the
greatest efforts of this age. l now introduce
to you the Hon. Iguatius Donuelly."
Mr.. Donnelly stepped to the stand amid
loud applause, and spoke for two hours, his
speech being repeatedly applauded. The
audience this evening was certainly the most
enthusiastic of any ever gathered together
to listen to political speech
in Watertown. Each and everyone applaud
ing loud and long.
1t was reported to me before l reached
WATERFOWL that this was a very strong Strait
town, but the audience which completely
filed the hall showed conclusively by their
enthusiasm that such is not the fact After
the meeting l talked with some of the lead
ing farmers and citizens of the village and
they say that Mr.. Donnelly will carry this
county by nice majority; that many Re-
publicans that have heretofore voted for
Major Stait are going to vote for Mr.. Don
nelly this fall, that the farmers all most to a
man are going to vote for him, their candidate
There were a great many farmers present,
(nearly half the audience being farmers)
some of them coming distance of eighteen
miles. When a farmer 'will give up his
work and go that far to hear
political speech shows conclusively that they
are in earnest this fall in supporting a far
mer for congress instead of banker and
miller. The night was dark and cold and
about O'Clock it began to snow, but still
the farmers continued to arrive. Another
indication of the interest the people are tax
ing in Mr.. Donnelly is shown by the fact
that at O'Clock the cannon commenced 10
boom and did not. close until thirty rounds
had been fired. AS we drove up in front

lage that filed the sidewalks gave s'three

began to swarm with friends to greet him.
At the close of the meeting two gentlemen
stepped up to the bar in a saloon
underneath the hall and asked
for glass of beer on Major
Strait and it was furnished without word, l
asked one of them if that was customary and
he said yes. / asked him if could give their
names and he said yes. Their names arc
John Boylan, and Geo. Sndeith, both residents
of Watertown. That shows conclusively that
the major is deposting money in saloons to
buy votes. 1t so happened both of these
men are in favor of Mr.. Donnelly and got
the drinks to prove what they had heard.

In 1880, through the channels OF his in

traducing and intending to destroy the most
honored leaders in his party. He stabbed
the Stalwarts in the back in 1880.
he sought the destruction of
Conkling in 1881 and he assassinated Folger
in 1882. General Grant when he learned
the other day the true authorship of the

mitted himself to notice Blaine in 1854.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTr MUST GO.

The New York San before it had been
"seized'' with desire for the success of the
Republican party gave some figures which
presaged the election Of Cleveland, and this
basis of calculation is the correct one now.
After declaring that the main issue in the
Presidential election is whether there shall
be Democratic, honest, economical adj
ministration of the government or Republi-
can corruption and profigacy the Sw. said:
There is not the sI;gltteSt reason for surprising
that any state, North or South, that supported
Hancock in 1850 lciU fail to UOte for the Demo
cratic candidate IN 1884. If we add the SO votes
of New York to the Hancock votes, this would
determine the struggle in favor of the Demo
cratic nominee. The six votes of Connecticut
and the Is of Indiana would carry the Demo
cratic majority up TO handsome figure. Some
doubtful States may also fall into line and make
the triumph of honesty over profigacy especially
memorable in the history of the country.
The Republican party must go!

A DRAW RACE.
The Scull Race Between Teemer and
Gaudauer Decided a Draw.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 26.-The single sculi
race between Teemer and Gaudauer, for $500
a side, three miles with turn. Teemer to
give Gaudauer FIVE seconds start, was rowed
on Creve Occur lake, near this city, this
afternoon. The rain fell steadily during
the day, and until half an hour prior to the
race. The attendance was small.
The start was made promptly at $3.50 p. m.
Gaudauer getting away with thirty-seven
strokes, and was leading about two and one
half lengths when Teemer ST rted five sec
onds later. GaudaCer maintained this lead
about mile, when Teemer spurted and
gained one length. Gaudauer turned first,
one length and half in advance. Teemer
spurted again, after turning, and caught his
antagonist in a quarter of mile, and in the
next quarter gained lead OF
clean length. Gaudauer then
spurted and drew up level with Teemer, and
from this point, about a half mile from home,
the struggle was hot and desperate, each evil
IDENTITY doing his very best Neither one APP
parently could get away from the other or
gain lead of even a foot. The finish was
so close that the referee, Thos. j. Gallagher,
decided neither had WOE, and the race must be
rowed over. Teemer aud Eph. Morris
claimed the race by two feet, while Parker,
judge at the outcome for Gaudauer, claimed
the latter was one foot and a half in advance
The referee, however, whose boat was little
in the rear of the rowers when they crossed
the line. decided as above, and gave the
friends of the scullers the privilege of nam
ing the day for the next trial. No official
time was appointed. The gentlemen on the
referee boat held a watch on the men and
give the time at 20 :0S for Teemer.
Ept. Morris and j. A. st. John, hackers
respectively of Teemer aud Gandauer met to-
night and agreed to row the race over next
Sunday afternoon. The referee declared off
all bets on the race ta-day.
