THE Journal has received information that
Rev. DIR. De La Matyr, formerly of this city, ad-
dressed an audience of seventeen people, at Os-
wego, Kan, on Monday. The Doctor discussed
finance and it is said that three of the people
who listened were much pleased with his address.
CATHOLIC Examiner (Dem.): The rum mon
Opoly is the most dangerous of any that now
confronts our people, and whatever may be our
ideas concerning prohibition or high license or
local option, we at any rate, should welcome
any honest endeavor to shake it off while yet we
may
THE first 'Belva Lockwood Campaign Club"
has been formed in Railway, N. j. 1t is com
posed of seventy-fve young men, whose uniform
is aot more startling than those worn by other
campaign clubs this year. 1t consists of
''highly -colored Mother Hubbard dress and a
poke bonnet"
LOUISVILLE Commercials AS if there were not
already enough campaign imagination located at
New York, o. o. Stealey has been sent there
for the Courier-Journal. 1t is noticeable that
Murat Halstead left on the next train Joseph
Mulhattan Is ia Louisville. All three are thus
accounted for.
THE ourier-Journal says Cleveland is In
favor of free trade. The World says he is not
The Journal retorts with: "From the Worlds
definition of Clevelands tariff views Cleveland is
not Democrat, has no right at the head of the
ticket, and the votes going to him In the West
are obtained under false pretences.
THE fact that the Rev. George Fl. Ball, of Buff
falo, has just been reelected for the fifteenth
time as president of the Central Association of
Open Communion Baptists, of New York, and
that resolutions were ad opted indorsing his
course will probably act upon the Democratic
press like a red rag on an Infatuated bull
PHILADELPHIA Press: Rev. James Freeman
Clarke, Of Boston, admits that his defense Of
Blaine was made at the urgent solicitation of
Carl Schurz. So the impression that it was
made to provide salvation for John Greenleaf
Whittier Henry Cabot Lodge, Mark Hopkins,
and the rest of the ''riff-raf" was incorrect
Boston Herald: The Democrats, as rule,
make poor use of their opportunities. Most of
their speakers straddle or dodge the question on
which they might make notes.-the reduction of
the War tariff Their canvass thus hmps, and
but for the energy and determination of the in
dependents, and the courage of their few saga
eious leaders, would make slow progress.
MAJOR JOHN EWING, of Washington, Pa, Mr..
Blaine's uncle has returned to his home from a
visit to Mr.. Blaine at Bellaire, O., very conf
don't of Republican success In an interview
with Major Ewing Mr.. Blaine expressed himself
very confident that Ohio would give large Re
publican majority next Tuesday. he was hope
ful concerning the contest in West Virginia, but
not confident
THE Hon. John R. Bucthel the millionaire
Democrat of Akron, says: eff Ohio goes Re
publican in October Cleveland will be surely de-
feated, as fully one-third of the Democrats of
Ohio will vote for Butler in November" Buehtel
says he has travelled all the State, and finds
the Butler boom growing wonderfully Over
fifty Irishmen employed in his mandatory at
Akron will vote for Butler
IT is expected that the vote in the counties Of
the Western Reserve of Ohio this year will reach
10000, against 90, 800 cast for General Garfield
four years ago. There are good reasons for be-
lieying that Burnett Republican, will defeat
Foran in the Cleveland district, and that Major
Mckinley will defeat Paige, the coal-oil candi-
date, thus making congressional gain of two in
the Western Reserve alone.
New YORK Sum 1t may be assumed that every
Clergyman who breaches on the moral aspects of
the present presidential contest entertains a de-
cided opinion that one of the candidates or the
other is morally unfit to be President Under
the circumstances is it not the duty of such men
to speak out and say which of the nominees is
the least OF Christian in character and con-
duotl The difficulty of a task is not good rea-
son for stunning 1t.
'IF the party managers, meant free trade why
didn't they put it in the platform3 If they meant
protection, why is it not therel If they had any
policy on the subject except that of agitation
and playing at blind mans bluff, why isn't it
there" These the pertinent inquiries Of
John A. Rooms, who was conspicuous Demo

having large stake in the common prosperity,

INFORMATION has been received at Ohio Re
publican headquarters to the effect that about
Friday or Saturday next roorbach will emf
nate from the Democratic headquarters in New
York, which will be startling than the
Morey letter fraud 1t is to be secretly guarded
uutil about the time designated, and is then to
appear simultaneously throughout the country
too late for denial IL is reported that it will be
as venomous as perjury can possibly make it,
What it is, and who it is aimed at will perhaps
not be known until it is made public. 1t is
alleged to be an attack upon the Republican can
didates for President and Vice-president
Or course it is an outrageous shame to excite
sectional bite rness, and so, in the interest of
good feeling, we reproduce without comment
generous paragraph from the Newberry rs. C.)
Herald and News 1.-THE State government is
ours, and, God helping us, it will remain ours
till it is wrested from us by the mailed hand of
a military despotism 1t is needless to mince
matters, and 1t is foolish to talk in riddles. We
avouched our manhood and the superiority of
Anglo, Saxon blood in 1875. when we restored
the government of the white man, and we will
not recede one inch from the ground we took at
that time. This is white mans government,
and white mans government it must and will
remain at all hazards"
