We have not the slightest doubt that Gro
yer Cleveland, if nominated By the Chicago
Convention, would carry the State Of New
York BY larger majority than could be
obtained for any other candidate, with the
single exception of Mr. Hlden
We recognize the fact that there is
formidable opposition 10 Governor Cleve-
lands nomination, and that it comes from
other quarters besides Tammany Hall But
we believe that after the nomination, the
calm, good sense of the people would teach
them that the objections made to some Of
the Governors Official acts are unsOund.
and that he would well unite his own party
and receive an effective support from the
Republicans who are disguised with the
nomination Of Blaine.
At present it appears from the Chicago
reports that Governor Cleveland is the first
choice Of the greater part Of the convention.
and that an earnest, united movement in
his favor by his own State would insure his
election on the second ballot The feeling
prevails tbaf he is the most marked repre-
sentative Of those reform principles which
ferst make the issue against Blaine in the
secming coniPSt.' Popular opinion points to
Nm as The fitting leader Of the Democracy
81 this time.

From the REGIsrER Of the 9Th inst. l
make the following extract:
True, genuine, warm-hearted Irishmen
who love liberty for ibertys sake-hberty
Of person, liberty Of speech, and liberty OF
religion; who By Inheritance and from
deaTly-bOught experience in the old country
hate the iron-hand of strong centralized
government. Such Irishmen, God bless
them, will never be heard Of fast going over
to Blaine"
This is soft soap, of course, for John kel-
" and the Tammanyites. You say that
they love liberty of person, liberty OF
speech and liberty of religion" But for
whom? For themselves and their class,
but for no one else who dares to Interfere
with their notions Of liberty. They have
had liberty in the city of New York, and
what have they done? How have they
managed the affairs ofthat city? How was
il in the DAYS Of Tweed? How now under
the rule of John Kelly? Why are the kel-
lvites opposed to Cleveland? Simply be-
cause he has endesvored to give to the city
of New York an honest government And
this is the class of men you are trying to
boost into power Give John Kelly and
his clan a controlling inAuencein the affairs
of our government, and we shall have such
thieving and pillaging and plundering as
We have never heard of before.
Mr.. Editor, am Democrat but If the
Convention at Chicago allows John Kelly
10 dictate the nomination of Presidential
candidate, contrary to the wishes OF the de-
cent portion of the party, You may look out
for regular stampede. If the Democrats
wish to get into power, and retain power,
they must unload They must throw John
Kelly and his clan overheard. Cleveland
could be elected without them. The truth
is, their opposition would secure his cleo
ton. But let the Democrats 60 on in the
vay they have been doing, and in the way,
| regret to say, you are doing then We shall
see what we shall see. Such an alliance as
YOU seem 10 be counting willard ought
io-damn any party in the estimation of all
honest men. Religion, sir, has nothing to
do with it. 1t is pure deviltry--dynamite!

WHILE the upward movement in the
stock market is noteworthy the conditions
of trade are not altogether sound. An
Eastern journal points out these weak points
in the situation: The crops still represent
only the bird in the bush, business is
depressed and railroad traffic is small; dis
trust Of our fellOw-creatureS and Of our
financial futures are not yet removed; the
silver law is still in operation; not single
tax has been repealed. Per contra the
crop bird in the bush is remarkably
plump, and, so far as one can judge, will
be caught in that shape. A bad harvest
would be a national calamity; a good
harvest will avert many evils, The i'm
portance Of agriculture among our indus
tries is generally overlooked save at just
such times as this

IL view of the effort to identify the Re

to the tariff, the advice Of the New York
Times to the Democratic Convention TO sit
down upon MORRISON and WArTERSoN is
especially noteworthy. The BLAINE papers
insist that the New York Times is for free

Shirt Sleeves to Shirt Sleeves.
Boston Journal
Not the demagogue alone, but many in
telligent men have for years been express
ing alarm because of the prominence OF IN
dividual and corporate wealth. Out OF this
has come the false assumption The rich
are growing richer, and the poor are grow
ing poor. The intelligent man will not
pursue his investigation a long time to be
satisfied that the last part of the assumption
is false namely, that the poor are growing
poorer as the years pass. If the poor in
cludes those who depend upon daily effort
for living, it is well established fact the
condition of this majority is vastly better
now than it was thirty or forty years ago.
1t is true that few men have become
very rich in this country during the past
twenty-five years. and few have made vast
fortunes by speculation in a few years. 1t
is equally true that in scores of instances
these fortunes have melted away as soon as
they were collected Keene, Willard, Gar
risOn and lesser bankrupts of the past few
months illustrate the truth of this. The
past year has been a very trying time for
large fortunes and corporate wealth. In a
few instances it is true that large wealth
has been amassed and held until the death
of the man who collected it, but in nearly
all of these cases his heirs of the next gen
Grafton, by extravaganza recklessness and
lack of ability, scattered the accumulated
money. Now and then family retains its
wealth two or three generations, but, as
rule in this country, it is only three genera
tons from shirt.sleeves to shirt-sleeves
again.

According to Martin, the second or
der of the mammalia are the quadru-
mana, or four-handed. Among them
are found the ape, orang-outang,
baboon and monkey. Button divided
them as follows: those which have long
tails are apes; those with short tails
are balloons; the most numerous divi-
sion have long tails, and are called
monkeys The orang-outangs are not
numerous; they inhsbit the impen-
etrable forests of Borneo, Java and
Sumatra, as we'll as the forests of
Guinea and Congo The natives of
Borneo insist that the orang-outang is
a man, and that he will not speak be-
cause he is afraid he will be made to
work. He is the only ape who uses
sticks and stones as means OF defense;
he had some idea of artificial weapons,
and in this respect differs from all other
animals. When an elephant invades a
part of the forest which they have APP
propfiated, they seldom fail to drive
him away by the use of sticks and
stones.
The bonneted monkey (simia sinica)
is found in Bengal; it is brown in color,
but on the upper part of the head is a
portion of white, which, diverging in
rays, fashions sort of bonnet like that
worn by the Chinese. From his flesh
colored visage, the white cap, the lively
brown eyes and human-shaped ears,
the bonnet-ape looks like little old
man. He initiates everything he sees,
He can be taught to smoke cigars.
dance on rope, and walk with cane.
The Chaema, or Black Pavian (simia
pOrcaria) is a variety of the baboon
family, and resembles pig i'll the face.
He is dusky olive in color, and on the
end of his tail is a tuft like tassel. He
is a native of the Cape of Good Hope.
Living in tribes, and always ready to
plumber, this race of monkeys commit
fearful devastation in the vineyards and
gardens.
With sagacity almost human, they
will station q guard on the outposts to
watch. A portion of them enter the
inclosure, climb the trees. pluck the
fruit and toss it to those standing be-
low. These hand it to others, who
form line reaching to the rendezvous
outside, which is generally in some
craggy mountain, and thus, all assist
ing in the work, the booty is soon safe
ly disposed of. AS soon as the sentinel
sees some one approaching, he gives
the alarm by uttering loud cry, and
the plunderers all scamper off. If he
neglects to warn them in time, the
whole party will fall upon him and beat
him severely.
The bowling monkeys are remark
able for the frightful noises which they
make by the use of q singular bony sub
stance connected with the larynx, which
serves as resounding board. They
are very numerous in the primitive
forests of South America, where they
live in companies. At night they hold
their concerts, which are terrifying in
their character, and can be heard for
miles. A company of soldiers belong
ing to garrison at Surinam, having
been sent out at night to reconnolter,
landed in q creek in the neighborhood
of forest where these animals were
holding their nocturnal assembly.
Hearing the terrible noise, they became
alarmed and retreated. with the an
nouncement that formidable enemy
was approaching.
