HONEST CLEVELAND,

The faber finds no hesitation in writ
ing the above caption, nor does the
cheek Of the American citizen blanch
rs his lips part in supercilious derision,
even in this ago of brass, when he CON
meets the namo of tho Democratic candi-
date for tho presidency, with tho old
fashioned idea Of honesty and probity.
As plain, square, intelligent Republic
can, could you, without blushing, speak
Of "honest JIM BLAINE2" Would you
not know that you would arouse
within your audience and subject your
self to ridicule? "Honest jim
BLAINEw AS a Democratic exponent
we challenge you to put this inscription
in your banners or walk thorough n
city's thoroughiares with that super
scriptiOn or your illuminated boxes.
Does any man doubt CLEvELAND's
personal honesty? Is there serious
charge against his integrity? The drop
pings from the tank are indicative of
the reservoirs contents and
what do we hear from these
respective candidates? Mr.. BLAINE
speaks for tariff, proprietorships,
monopolies and aggregations. Not one
word of reform does he preach or prom
Use. CLEVELAND, on the contrary, tells
you plainly that the great war of presi-
dental contest is on the subject OF dis
honpst standardization IJa toIIa 40,
that thieving in high places is being
practiced; that the people are being
robbed, and that the government is
seized upon and held by a gang who
dare not show their books. He do.
mands in the name of an
outraged people an exhibit, and
cries aloud for reform. He tells
his hearers that the people are bound
down by class of oflice-holders "whose
business it is to make money out OF
their Positions" and asks them if they
propose to go on choosing their rulers
from this class. what they can expect.
Does any rational man deny that ras
cality Of the deepest hue is being sys-
tematically practiced in administration
circles? Are the BELKNAP, the Rom
SON, the postoilico frauds, the paw defal
cations, tho innumerable yillainos OK
posed by congressional committees To
be still continued, or can fathoming
pole be placed in the hands of some
PALINuRUs, who, guiding us over the
quicksands of national rottenness, can
at least find the sure land upon which
the country's ark may rest?

IF GEN. SHERMAN is reported cor
rectly, his disgraceiul speech in St.
Louis on last Friday will be condemned
by all patriotic Republicans who love
their country and want to see all sec
tional feelings buried forever. Why he
should attack Mr.. JEFFERSON DAVIS,
who is endeavoring to pursue quiet,
unostentatious life, and Mr.. JUDAH p.
BBNJAMIN, who is sleeping the sleep
tnat knows no waking, is beyond hui
man comprehension. His speech was
in utter violation Of decency, and be-
meath the dignity of one occupying the
exalted position he does, and which
should have been his pride and honor to
maintain.

ONE of the most prominent Republ-
cans in this city, or in the state, in the
HERALD Office yesterday, expressed
himself most sensibly and pointedly
with reference TO GEN. SHERMAN's re.
cent incendiary speech. He declared
that such efforts to keep up tho war be.
tween the sections were not only impoli-
tic, but ncgatiyed every attempt by de-
cent white Republicans to make white
converts in the south. II was, he said,
a wet blanket ON Republican efforts IN
the south. Any section, or any class of
men may divide on issues, but never
will the solid south be broken so long
as the rabld Republicans north continue
to wave bloody shirts, villify us and
keep alive sectional issues. SnERMAN's
zeal has out run his Judgment.

GOVERNOR CbEvELAND, in his Bridge

The Gazette says "it will not do to al
low our confidence in human nature to
impel us to expect thoroughly honest
or entirely peaceful election" If it
speaks for Texas, it is wofully in error.
In Texas no one expects anything but a
peaceful election, and one thoroughly
honest. Itmay be in few localities,
where prisoners arc wrested from he
hands OF an officer by a mob, that acts OF
violence will occur on election day, but
AS such acts of lawlessness are confined
to few towns, and they Of minor impor-
lance, no fears can be entertained that
the election next Tuesday will be gen
orally quiet and orderly. Law and or.
der is tho rule in Texas, aud violence
and mob law the exception.

AdAs EXPLOSION,


MINIATURES, Oct Sl.-At an early
hour this morning the large purifier at
the gas works exploded with terrific
force, shaking the earth and shatterng
the windows for distance of dozen
blocks. No one was injured. Twenty
workmen in an adjoining building had
a miraculous escape. Tho escaping gas
instantly ignited, the flames shooting
high into the air and setting fire to a
portion OF the gas works, but the ready
response of the fire department pre-
vented serious loss in this direction.
The loss to the company by the eXplo-
sion and escaping gas Is $4,000.

II is noticeable that at all Mr.,
BLAINE's receptions in tho eastern
cities mono but the monopolists, railroad
kings and corruptionists are admitted
60 his private apartments and dinners.
With Mr. CLEVELAND 1t is different.
The poor man and the laborer, the wage
workers-those who toll for their daily
bread-re giving the Democratic nomi-
nee the splendid ovations he receives
wherever he appears. The Democratic
party has always been in sympathy
with those who earn their bread by the
sweat of their brows, believing that the
rich can take care of themselves, but
that the poor needs the protecting care
of government TO guard them against
entertainments that capital too often
attempts upon labor.

TEXAS may hold the banner for
another four years as the champion
Democratic State in the union, but
recent developments make it rather
doubtful. 1t is believed by many who
are well posted, and whose calculations
IN the result of elections are seldom at
fault, tina. New York will give CLEvE-
LAND over 100000 majority. Should this
prove true, Texas may have to surren-
der the grand emblem of triumph and
superiority to the empire State. Let
every possible vote for the Democratic
party be cast next Tuesday.
