CLEVELAND denies that he wrote to
Congressman asking them to vote for the
Morrison bill, but he does not deny that
he was in favor of its passage, and in ac-
cord with Carlisle on that subject. Per-
haps his private secretary wrote the let
ters for him. Nelson is not likely to
have lied on such asubject, and as Cleve-
land hides his opinions now, upon that
question, he may be dodging about the
letters.

THERE is another fool getting ready to
go over Niagara Falls, this time, her
metically sealed in rubber ball. The
papers seem willing to give him all the
advertising he wants, and one of
them, publishes his picture. We
are bound to say that if the picture looks
any thing like the man he is evidently
fool enough to undertake that or any
other folly. On the whole, the world
would be better off if there were no
cranks like him to perpetuate their kind,
and we are inclined to the opinion that
the sooner he goes over the Falls tie
better.

The Mulligan Letters.

The Democratic. press, with its
usual vindictiveness and unexcelled
ability for mud singing, have again
arraigned James g. Blaine, before
the public, as the man who used his
official position while Speaker of the
House of Representatives, for mer-
cenary purposes. They pursue him
with all the relentlessness of bitter
hatred, and like the incorporating
and unreasonable enemies they are,
concealing the record of a whole
party traced in treason, dishonesty
and bloodshed over period of fifty
years, using every endeavorto attract
the attention of the public to what
they claim to be the misdeeds of one
man, and binding the confiding eyes
of the people to their own unenviable
record. Admitting that james G.
Blaine was the author of the SO called
MuIligan Letters, and admitting that
while Speaker he held shares in the
several railroads mentioned by the
Democratic press, can any reasonable
man, after reading all of the CORES
pondence between Blaine; Mulligan
and Fisher, find o word that can be
construed as even implying an inten
tion to use the power which Mr.
Blaine, as Speaker of the House con
trolled. Why, the Whole matter is as
fiimsy as tissue ballot. Cannot any
man, who is not hide bound partisan
biased thinker, understand that the
publication of these private letters,
given to the Democratic press by
Fisher and Mulligan, is but one of the
mean contemplate schemes adopted
by the Democratic party as campaign
buncombe. How many votes will be
made by the publication of these let
ters? Who will vouch for their au-
thenticity? And who knows how much
money Barnum has paid to resurrect
these men who have been reposing
for years in private, almost forgotten,
and to thousands of voters unknown?
But from one degree of degradation
to another sinks the Democratic
party. In perfect keeping with their
past record is this mode of warfare.
Just as the rebels resorted TO chain
balls and tortured Union prisoners,
just so their sympathizers conduct
political campaign. And never until
the Democratic party, with new prin-
ciples, plans, purposes, and new
name, will the people Of this country
entrust 10 them the administration of
their affairs.

THE brown jug and the papsr box
in the hands of children, ought to be
boycotted. Just why everybody's
child should be made a mendlcant.
soliciting pennies from door to door,
and from every person upon the
street.. we don't know, but we do
know that while the object may be a
worthy one, the principle is decidedly
bad. The average boy or girl is for
ward enough, and parents have srffi-
cient trouble in making them realize
that they are not of age until they
attain their twenty-frst year. but if
the teachings Of parents are to be
counteracted by the innocence of the
church and Sabbath school, then the
labor of the parent is thrown away.
While churches, and especially these
of our race, have to be sustained
largely through pubilc contributions,
there is a way to secure such contri.
buttons without corruptiDg the morals
OF the community. Another evil as
sociated with this method of making
beggars of children and teaching them
boldness and immodesty, is that of
dishonesty. How many of these boxes
and envelopes when returned look as
though they had been tampered with
and the money extracted. How often
when children are given tickets to
sell for church entertainments, that
no return is either made of tickets or
money. These things occur often,
but the managers evidently work upon
the presumption plan, that where ten
are dishonest ninety are honest and
they figure the gain upon their own
side without regard to the bad effect
upon the morals of the community.

cold for camp-meetings. Ministers

The Cincinnati Inquirer supports
Cleveland in way much calculated to
do him harm. The reason given for the
course is that after Cleveland's nomina-

was the only Ohio Democrat called to
Albany or consulted about it. Editor
M'Lean is against Civil Service. Pendle-

toms canvass of our county has created
en- enthusiasm that we have rarely
eeen equalled. Wherever he has
spoken there was creditable turnout.
At st. Inigoes, on Wednesday, at the
Factory. on Thursday, at st. Georges
Island, Thursday night and Chaptico
on Friday there were large and en-
tliusiastic district meetings. On ac-
count of the lateness of the hour, Mr..
Compton did not make formal
speech at st. Georges but during his
visit there, his frank, genial and pleas
ant manners made favorable impress
sion upon the generous hearted-Island-
ers. The Chaptico meeting was spoken
of by gentleman, who had attended
every polit ell gathering held there for
the past twenty years, as the largest he
had ever seen. Mr.. Compton left our
county on Friday and the universal
opinion Of st. Mary's democrats is,
that his speeches will avail more than
Holton's dollars and that he deserves
to win and will win.
