Only suppose tina; Grover Cleveland
were withdrawn as the Democratic candi-
date for President and that Allen G
Thurman were standing in his place We
know perfectly well that this is something
not TO be hoped for. We are saddled with
Grover Cleveland. ard. like the old man IN
the fable, be will cling around the neck Of
the Democracy until it is strangled and laid
out-SHa.
The proverb, .you can't almost alway.
tell what you sometimes least expect the
most" was recently verified At MADEIRA Cal.
The Democrats formed campaign club,
but when they came TO name it, the PROPOSE
ton to call it after Cleveland and Hendricks
was voted down. and "Blaine and Logan"
was substituted by vote of % TO IL.
Some German Democrats in Nebraska
wrote TO friend in Buffalo, of the same
nationality, asking how Cleveland would
run in that city. intending to publish the
reply, in order TO make converts. The
oracle answered, however, that the Germans
in Buffalo were not supporting Cleveland at
ali. but would vote for Blaine. The letter
will probably not get into print.

careful research. The fee is only shilling,
and the Office is already in receipt of several
hundred letters from this country asking for
an explanation of the tariff plank in the
Democratic platform Norristorn Herald
We can assure Mr. Blaine, from our
daily intercourse with the readers of The
Pilot, that the man who has done him the
deepest service in this campaign is General
Bragg, Of Wisconsin. who said at the
Chicago Democraticl Convention: "The
Irish may go, and be damned" They are
not going to be damned and we hope they
are not going to Ego )" but they are likely
to efectually damn Mr.. Bragg's political
possibilities. Mr.. Bragg has an easy name
to remember.-BostOnP Pilot
A vote in Name for Robbie next Monday
is as good as three votes for Blaine in
November. 1t helps in every State in the
CDion.-Boston Journal.
The Ner York Star Crammany DEM
thinks it is an unsettled question whether
the Irish voters who will support Cleveland
are more numerous than those who will cast
their influence for Blaine.
The Albany Times Den..) is depressed
by the course of the New York Indepen-
dent in repudialing Cleveland, and says,
gloomily: Here is the record and the out
come Of that great Independent vote which
was so much To be desired"
