Cleyeland's position on the tariff question, as
he did not allude to the matter i'll his letter of
acceptance. He has lately expressed himself
on this subject. He says the tariff question is
an "rreevant discussion" Is it 'irrelcvant"
whether our mills and factories are closed or
the wages of our working people reduced from
fifty TO seventy-tive per cent: Is it circle
want whether our farmers lose their home
market, aud our people are pauperized to ben
eft the manufacturers and laborer> of Europe:
Is it ''irreleyant" whether the unprecedented
growth of this country and its advancement
materially intellectually and morally shall be
suddenly checked: Mr. Cleveland says this i,
''irreleyant.' But perhaps he doesn't know.

turned TO New Orleans from IA summer toul
through the Northern States, and was asked by
the City Item what he had gathered of polica
news He replied:
First, that Blaine will sweep the North ant
that he will be elected by such Il majority as nc
man has ever been gratitied it'll. As fol
Cleveland the Democrats even, in private
concede that he has no chance, though in iheil
newspapers and in public they hold him up fol
the sake of appearances. | have discussed very

tive chances of the candidates of both parties

A Short Lived Lie.

The New York Herald took advantage of the
absence in Europe of Mr.. j. T. JOY. President
of the Wabash Railroad to concoct au absurd
story ncerning Mr. Blaine, and which if true
would be almost as di>creditable to Mr.. JOY As
to the former gentleman. Mr. Joy is said to
have endeaNored to induce Mr. Blaine 10 ap-
point committee favorable to certain railway
legislation desired by the former. and the latter
To have named price for c"ml lance with Mr.,
joys request. The article ~ it appeared in the
Herald clearly shows that it WAS manufactured
TO order, and carries it, own refulal to all un-
prejudced persons. II will be remembered
that Mr.. JOY presented Mr. Blainc's name to
the National Convention of 1850.

Cleveland's Character.

The Boston Herald says of Gov. Cleveland:
There was not even Republican whisper
against bis character or his administration until
he was nominated for President.
But Democratic newspapers and politicians
made public mention of the Maria Halpin mat
ter before Cleveland's nomination, and it was
offered at Chicago as one of the reasons why
he should not be nominated; and the Boston
Globe said, before the convention. that Grover
Cleveland had too many children for batche
lor. In another editorial the Herald says
The men who sustain ''tattooed" candidate
naturally consider it essential to find some spot
on his opponent and this has led to the dirty
stories about Cleveland.
The spot OH Cleveland was found by
Democrats, and Democratic papers first pub
lshed the stories OF his wrong doing. If the
stories are '.dirty' it is Cleveland who made
them so. Their truth is not ques toned. The
Herald says further:
The answer to the foul ISLANDERS about Cleve-
land is the respect of his fellow citizens, who
know him well an honest, upright man.
while the candidate opposed to him is proved
liar and j0bber.
What the Herald calls ''lhe foul SANDERS about
Cleveland" are substantated by his fellow citi-
zens, including the clergy of Buffalo of al! de-
nominations; and there is every reason to be-
ieye that CIeyeland's own city and county, as
well as Stale, will give majoriies against him
in November. The Herald makes The only de-
fence possible for Cleveland. and that is to as
sail Mr.. Blaine in the language of blackguard.
The issues of the war are ended | have
been spoken of here one who was identified
with the colored people of the nation. When
am false in my fidelity to those men my arm
will deserve to drop from its socket and hope
it will. [Applau>e.l But it is because l an
bound to them by those close ties, that | am
sick and tired of seeing that whole race turned
into nothing but football for unscrupulous
politicians. Applause RI. Wentworth Iig-
ginson at the meeting CT Boston independents
The Republican yarty delivered the colored
people from bondage, placed the ballot in their
bands and gave them equal rights before the
law. 1t has endeavoled to protect them in the
right Of suffrage against the ku kuX and
White Leagues of the South, and if continued
in power it will secure them that right. Mean
while the negro in the Southern States is not
only the football but the target of "un>crupu-
lous politicians" whom Mr.. Higginson hopes to
place in control of the National Government.
There are plenty of men in this country to-day
who lost an arm in the struggle that secured
liberty and citizenship for the colored people,
but they are not helping to put the eX-siave-
holders in power as Mr., Higginson is doing.
