POLITICAL SMALL TALK

Mr.. Grady promises to tell the whole
story on Friday night. If he makes
good his assertion the governor will likely
hear something drop.-DfaH and Express.
Mr.. Hendricks has been deeply dis
turbed. He has had tears in his voice.
The time has come when he should hang
his harp on the cottonwood by the Wabash
and sit down and woep.-NeU York. Extra.
Gov. Morton once said: democrats al
ways ride with their backs to the engine,
and never sec anything until they have
passed it." This fact was never better
illustrated than in the late nomination
for president by that Chicago Inter-
Ocean.
The result proves that Cleveland will
sweep the north as well as the south and
be elected by a popular and electoral
majority beyond the limit heretofore OK
peeted by the most ardent and hopeful
friends Of reform.-Albany argus, Clere-
lands personal organ.
The democratic newspapers need not
give themselves great concern about Mr..
Blsines health. lie is much better. He
sleeps well. His eyes were never brighter.
He secs not far off the splendor of the
morning of the dawn Of his administra-
tion as president Of the United States
NelO York Extra
An erudite but excited organ of the
democracy lifts as the battle cry of its
party: "1ndissoluble Union Of Indcstruc-
tible States" Imagine regular, thor
oughbred Dubuque democrat, full of
enthusiasm and the other concomitants of
a reform campaign, trying to utter that
in q loud and rapid manner.-Dnbuque
(IViud) Times.
Mr.. Baine's supporters need not write
any more letters to the newspapers de-
Tending him against the malicious charges
and "damnable iterations" of a partisan
press. Yesterday he was vindicated by
his friends and neighbors In a way that,
to every unprejudiced man in the country,
will carry conviction.-New York CONNER
cidl Advertiser.
The democratic campaign of slander las
thus far yielded no fruit palatable to the
slsnderers. On the contrary, it has pro-
duced q reaction most disastrous to those
who inaugurated it. From all quarters
come indications that the foul libels ut
tered against Mr.. Blaine have created only
disgust for their suthors and dissemina-
tors.-1roy Times.
Tho democrats no longer stop at lies
about the public acts of men. but make
war on wives and children and desacrate
graves TO give their falsehoods better
chance. All these things they do in the
name of "reform," while supporting a
candidate who owes his nomination to
Hubert o. Thompson, and pretending to
want "clean government" through the
election Of Mr. Cleveland, whose personal
character cannot be discussed. York
Tribune.
Mr.. Grady has his war paint on. He IL
determined that Cleveland shall not be
president, because he wrote that lettor.
Mr.. Grady is not a foe TO be despised when
he has his war paint on and his little
sCalping knife in his hand. Indeed, We
regard Mr.. Grady as a bigger man than
Mr.. Kelly. Ho is young Tammany's
chosen chief. Old Tammany may indorse
with q wink, but young Tammany speak:
right out. Grady's attitude has an ele'
ment of humOr in it, but at the same time
il is very serious fun.-New York Truth.

the strength and devotion Of her repub
licanism in 1884. SO will every othol
