Blaine solicits the sufIragcs Of the people on
the alleged record of the republican party
craftilv ignoring the individual achievements
Of Jimgee. Cleveland asks support on his own
open record. There is the difference.

John Van Buren, once said 81 would rather
ride twenty miles to talk 70 a man than write
a letter TO him.. Jimgce seems to have pre-
ferred to write twenty letters TO Dear George
rather than ride one mile. He'd rather write
than be President
The Cincinnati Coun,oriqi- Go-,ar has hired
out an editorial column 70 the Porkopols In
dependents and these gentlemen are working
the limited space with great energy. The Blaine
ties are wofully taken aback at this CONNER
cial enterprise Of their organ
In not rushing to the defence of their plumed
kn.ave the followers of Jimgee display an able
bodied caution-but their prudence will not
avail. Men OF Accinston exclaimed John
Peel, suing for the sutiragas of his tovnsmen'

shall be all behind as We were before.

The civil service commissioners are proving
the non-partisau character of their office 10y
taking turns in running OH TO make campaign
speeches for the grand old party. The Presi-
dent should promptly recall these very Jealous
humbugs. Il cannot well be done however
The Blaine crowd is in urgent need of every
official at the front.
In his mad zeal to grab the presidency Phi
lanthropist Ben has entirely forgotten the
claims Of Tewksbury almshouse ON his distin
guished constellation. IL only this scene OF
operations in paupcr skin had some hundred

The charming Lockwood has taken 1t on her
self to write Mr. Cleveland suggesting meet

tomorrow to devise means for eradicating the
clement Of SANDER from the campaign. W.
fear that the rumor impeaching the genuine
ness Of Belya's back hair has just little unset
tied her feminine head.
The indefatigable Colonel Jake kcmpb
Of this State has been eloquently aiding the
New York faithful in holding aloi. the bust
ness end Of the Blaine campaign. We regret e
that Ingee viii not be i'm a position after "a
while TO compensate the gallant Colonel DID, fol

reach the throne the irrepressible " Colonel
would surely be made Joker 10 the King.
