WAyERIy. JuIv 18th 1875

WAvERLY, July 18th, 1884.
Editors Union The Democracy of this section
of the county, and believe the same may be said
of the party throughout the State for the most
part, whilst they will support the nomination of
the Chicago convention, were honestly and very
naturally favorable to the nomination of Bayard,
and they are just as naturally slow to enthuse in
support of Cleveland, especially since they have
realized that the friends of the latter were digent
in season and out of season in the most persistent
and savage manner waving the "bloody shirt" in
the form of his Dover speech They realize that
this was Systematically done from the moment
that the decination letter of Tilden was given to
the country until the very day upon which the
nomination was made. The name of the favorite
son of Delaware could not be advocated in any
section of the North, in the New England States,
the Western, Middle and one or two of the South
ern States also, but that the DoUer speech was
hurled in the teeth of his friends and fourished
oyer his head in such a manner and with such
vindictive energy that it was made to grow GRIM
son with gore and trickle all over him the bloody
drops of copperhead Democracy and this too by
men who were in the same boat, who sailed under
the same flag and piped the same tune and senti-
ments as he did in 1861, and have continued to
do ever since, Yet at the most opportune moment
that has occurred in the last twenty-five years, as
they think, for the success of Democratic as
pirant for the Presidency, and after the Republi-
can party has failed to recognize the waving of
the "bloody shirt" as legitimate political weapon
of warfare, to have it taken up and waved over
Maryland's favorite and Delaware's idol by the
clansmen of his party, in behalf of aspirant
who wore no part of the war paint and Democratic
armor that coppered Bayard all over, is more than
the Democrats have met with can stand and be
expected to eDthuse. They will, as L have said,
vote for him, but will not enthuse worth straw.

thing, which will make living cheap this coming

E8-The platform adopted by the National
Democratic convention was very adroitly framed.
1t required over thirty-six hours for the commit
tee to construct the tariff plank of that remarka-
BILE paper, and Ben Butler said when it was COM
pleted he couldn't understand it to save his life.
Ben was one of the biggest men in the Chicago
convention, yet, statesman that he is, he couldn't
catch the meaning of that particular plank and
frankly told the convention so. He viewed it in
the ligh. of most beautiful straddle, gotten up
to deceive voters, but it won't deceive worth
cent. These tricks of the Democracy have be-
come too well known to deceive any one. That
party appears to place very low estimate upon
the intelligence of the people Of this country.

Cleveland and the WorlSingmen.

baltimore American.
When the news was received on Friday after
noon in Rochester that Mr.. Cleveland had been
chosen as the Democratic party's nominee for the
presidency, triumphal salute of fifty guns was
fred. That night, however, the workingmen of
the city together discussed the matter quietly,
came to the conclusion that "the nomination of
Grover Cleveland was an insult to the working
man." and, having reached this conclusion, they
nut their views in the shape of formal resolu
lion, and by its passage declared that such was
the sense of the meeting. Thus it was in many
other places besides Rochester. Cannon were
fred bands played, banners waved. Campaign
funds are meant to furnish forth both noise and
display. But while the smoke is clearing away
after the last gun of the salute the real people of
- the party are thinking the matter over, and in
very large numbers they are coming to the con-
cusion that Grover Cleveland is not the proper
person to represent the workingmen ofthe United
States Campaign cannon are still laundering so
loudly that the voices of dissent may not be
listened to and measured for their fullw But
on the day following the day of election it will
be found-as surely as an election is held and
votes are polled-that the workingmen Of the
United States refused, for reasons good and
sufficient to themselves, to vote for Grover Ceve-
land for Chief Magistrate.

@-From the conversation of some of the DEM
oerats hcseabouts one would suppose that they
believe every Republican of6ce-holder to be an
internal thief and scoundrel. But they can think
and say what they please. Their insane rawlings
and bare faced falsehoods have no weight with
people of ordinary intelligence, Of course, in
their opinion, all Democratic officials are honest
men, yet we remember that certain Baltimore
county alms-house fund, aggregating upwards of
S35O,oO0, mysteriousIy disappeared, while the
county government las it is to-day was in the
hands of Democratic officials. And even since
then we can call to mind some little transactions
Of certain Democratic officials of this county that
could not be classed as strictly honest. When
these Democrats want to discuss the honesty of
ofice-hoIders they should begin little nearer
home and talk about matters they are familiar

rs Major Yost, the editor of the Stanton (Va.)
Valley Firgiaian and member of the National
Republican Committee from Virginia, believes
that with proper effort the twelve electoral votes
of Virginia can be added to the Republican col
umn this fall, and he gives excellent reasons for
his belief In 1880 the democratic ticket re-
licans polled 10000 and the Readjusters $4,000
votes, making total of $4,000 ant-Bourbon
votes, or a majority of 10000 over the regular
democratic vote. In 1881 the anti Bourbon ma
jority was $4,000, and in 1882 it was 5000. And
although the democrats carried it in 1888, they
admit they did it with the help of $4,000 straight
out Republicans, who are sure this year to vote
for Blaine and Logan.

~Ex-Lieutenant Governor Hoskins, OF New

Mr.. Blaine can carry New York and that he will
be handsomely elected. Some attempt has been
made to ALLEVIATE German Republicans from him
about Buffalo, on the score that he is temper
ance fanatic. The only proof they can offer of
that, however, is that he lives in Maine. That is
a poor argument against his well-known liberality
on all public questions. Every one who knows
Mr.. Blaine can testify that he is temperate man,
but he is not fanatic, and on the contrary is
broad and liberal in his views on the temperance

of the late Jeremiah S. Black, lawyer, statesman
and Democratic partisan, as to the falsity of the
charges against Mr.. Blaine "Mr. Blaine's letters

so to prove until the Gregoriap calendar could be
turned around, and October made to precede

S- Henry Watterson, one of the leading lights
in the Democratic party, expresses his opinion of
Gov. Cleveland, the Democratic nominee for the
Presidency, as follows: "First, the country knows
nothing of his opinions upon National questions !;
second, he is a new man, without experience in
National affairs or personal knowledge of the
public men of the time; third, he is antagonized,
not only by Tammany, but by the trades unions
and by the Catholic hierarchy"
