John Kelly: A weaker man than Han
cock is running against a stronger man
than Garfield.
Peoria transcripts When the Demo-
cratic party nominated Cleveland it sim
ply blew out the gas and went to bed.
In Missouri the Republicans have fused
with the Greenbackers, and the Democrats
have been absorbed by the Graybackers
Philadelphia Times Ind.): No organ
should fail to remark that when MI. Hen
bricks opens his mouth he puts his foot
in it.
Teas Sittings Ind): The Democra's
who supposed that the earthquake '.s
simply the sound occasioned by Tild,
rolling out his barrel to tap were probabis
mistaken.
st. Louis Globe Democrat The Republi
can party of Missouri goes before the peo
pie this year as a great Salvation Army, to
rescue the State from the rule of the Ban
dts and Bourbons.
National Republican: What Hendricks
thinks of retaining Cleveland on the
ticket is well knowa. What Cleveland
thinks of keeping Hendricks on the
ticket is yet to be explained.
Philadelphia Tmes( Ind: The new batch
of Mulligan letters present nothing new in
Blaine's public record. They make nc new
assaults upon his public integrity, and
introduce no new issue into the National
contest
New York Star (Dem.): Mr.. Hendricks
has much to vex him, and his pride has
been often and grievously hurt since the
| ides of July. We advise the organs of the
Democratic party not to goad the only Dem
OcIat on it into withdrawal from the Ma
tional ticket.
Chicago Inter- Ocean: If the Democratic
managers can extract any comfort and en-
couragement out Of the result in Maine
they are welcome to it. The latest returns
place the total vote at 142, ,410 and Robes
majority at 20,615, the largest ever given
candidate for Governor in Presidential
year.
The Whitehill Times speaks of Mr.. Cleve-
land as "The New Moses" Then York
Sun calls attention to the fact that it was
said of his illustrious prototype: II have
caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but
thou shalt not 90 over thither," and the
record closes with the statement that mo
one knows Of mis- sepulchre unto this day"
Chicago Inter- Ocean,: In his speech at
Augusta in response to the Maine majority,
Blaine sounds the keynote of the campaign
as to two questions, protection to American
industry and prohibition of the sale of
alcoholic liquors. The latter is State
ISSUE made so not by the will of parties,
but by the necessities of the constitution.
Mr.. Blaine as representative of National
questions, did not vote upon it on either
side. No position could be more instruc-
tive, well thought out, manly, or states
manlike.
ST. Louis Globe-DemOerat: The Demo-
cratic party is reminiscence 1t is remi
niscence of fealty to slavery of the Dred
Scott decision Of the fugitive slave law
of the border wars and cruelties of trust
ed leaders who, recreant and foresworn, be-
came traitors from ambition. 1t is a remi
niscence of decayed hopes and cemetery
filled with dead principles, that in life were
gaunt with hunger for unattained offices.
1t is a Renaissance Of a once lusty life that
yet retains breath in hopes of once more
getting taste of the loves and fishes.
There are "reminiscences and "reminiscences
st. Paul PiOneer-Press Ind.): 1t is not
what the Republican party has done in the
past which commends it still to the sup
port of every patriotic Republican-except
so far as its past is guarantee of its fu-
ture. 1t is because the government of the
country can be more safely confded to the
Republican party, by reason Of its exist
ing composition, tendencies and purposes,
than to its adversary 1t is not by any
means without its faults and it's errors
some Of them serious ones. But that, ON
the whole it is immensely better in its
spirit and aims than its Democratic antago-
nist-that the hope of the country for any
real progress or genuine reform must rest
with the Republican party-seems to us
demonstrated by the whole history of the
two parties and their respective attitudes
on the living questions of the day.
A. L. Morrison, chairman of the Irish
Republican National League: II have
just been to Ohio The Irish voters of
that State are determined to defeat the
candidate of the London Times and the
Golden Club. They are moving over to
Blaine in large numbers. / have here
list of 500 Irish voters who are disgusted
with the Democrats and have promised to
support Blaine. These names are from
single small city. l want to relieve the
Democrats of the idea that Cleveland viii
get all OF even a considerable part of the
Irish vote. One hundred and twenty eight
delegates from one country have pledged
themselves to attend the convention at Gin
cinnati on the last day of September. l
am receiving each day large lists of names
from Ohio The best of feeling between
the Irish and Germans prevails. They
will unite to defeat the common enemy.
New York Sun (Dem.): An incom-
petent, undeserving, and immoral candi-
date having been nominated for the Presi-
dency it becomes matter Of public duty
that the facts should be made known, so
that the voters may act at the polls with
their eyes open, and with sufficient means
of arriving at an intelligent judgment
about their votes. Whenever an adven-
turer in politics is nominated upon the
strong issue of superior purity and eleva-
tion of character, while all the time he is
a man of gross and degraded tastes and
habits, it is to be hoped that the truth
may be fully brought out every time, and
the calamity of electing such man to the
Presidency be averted. The error lies not
in the newspapers that do what they ought
to do in the premises. but in the attempt
to promote an ignorant and unit political
advaptnrer IN the highest SfafiOn of our
