A CHILL has fallen upon those Chicago Demo
Gratis who proposed organizing vigilance com
mittees for service on election day. The chill
was caused by an unconirmed rumor that the
United States marshal would appoint 900 dep

A Boston independent, who is evidently half
ashamed of the position he occupies, informs
gentleman from New York that while he
may vote for Cleveland he will certainly scratch
Hendricks. And he thinks that he is brainy
chap.

offended by the course of the Post-Dspatch and
a committee has been sent to New York for the
purpose of working up opposition against Mr..
Pulitzers candidacy for Congress, The St
Louis Irishmen declare that Pulitzer must and
shall be beaten.
NEW YORK Commercial Advertiser: The out
rageous and indecent assaults made in Indiana
upon Mr.. BlalneS character are evidently re-
turning with force upon the heads of their in

cratic managers that Indiana is mighty asdbt7
full State for them.
KNOW something of the Governors work, and
say there is no necessity for him to sit at his
desk in Albany and pretend to be busy. He must
do it, however, for neither he nor his keepers
dare to let him speak No, he says nothing but
goes to Brooklyn and eats beef.-General Palm
ers speech in New York. Monday night.
New YORK Sum The Republican majority in
Ohio, as shown by the vote in the Congress
districts, was nearly nineteen thousand. No
sophistry of Arithmetic can obscure the signif-
canoe of the fact. 1t cannot be wiped out; it
leaves the issue clear and distinct, and it means
that Grover Cleveland will be obliterated in No
vember. tts~

pect soon to see the Cleveland Beecher cor

reverently, with uncovered heads to help I'M

PIrTsBURG Dispatch zone blast upon his
buge horn is worth 10, 900 men," is the romantic
view which the New York Post takes of Mr..
Beecher's appearance as stumper in favor Of
Cleveland. This may do for sentimental poll
tics, but the practical Democratic politicians
0r,,nv In Co IN
close State like New York it is doubtful whether
they would not prefer one energetic rounder to
10, 600 blasts upon Mr.. Beecher's buge horn
NEW YORK Graphic: member of the Repub-
lican national committee, who was speaking to
the Casual Observer, said that the independents
in this campaign had conducted the most ag-
gressve canvass ever seen in this country, and
that their work exceeded that of either the regu-
lar Republican or Democratic party. he s@d
that the feeling of Republicans for Democrats
was friendly and cordial but that only the blood
of the independents would wash out their sins.

following brief but vigorous prayer: "Oh, Lord,
we pray Thee that we may not despse or disre-
spect our rulers; and we particularly pray that
they may not continue to conduct themselves in

members of Plymouth Church who find it diff
cult just to frame petitions expressive of
their feelings may be glad to know after what
manner their pastors father prayed when he
was discouraged at the perversity of those set
over him.

are in no wise responsible for the bleaching pro-
cess that is going in the colored population,
and it might be we'll for the Bourbon stump
speakers to bear this in mind when they prance
up and down the country discoursing on the
horrors of mixing colors.
New YORK Tribune: Whenever in this or any
other State there is strong revolt among tho
iahcring men against the free-trade principles OF
the Democratic party there is always sure to be
some Democrat low enough TO whisper to them
ut was our party that defeated the Morrison
bill; you know we had large majority in the
House of Representatives" A corresponding

there asks for the vote. 1t was this: For the

numbers tell the story, and they are worth re-
memoerng.
