POLITICAL NOTE AND GOSSIP.

BUFFALO Courier If CoDkling intends to
vote for st. John it is safe to say that he does
not vote as he drinks
THE Irish Nation: James G. Blaine will re-
ceive the support of majority of the intelligent
and independent Irish voters-the men who own
their own souls-from Maine to California.
Mr.. P. 7. BARRY, Of Chicago, an Irish-A
lean speaker who has been speaking in Con
necticut and New Jersey says there is no doubt
about the Republicans carrying those States, on
account of the disaffection of the Irish with
Democratic principles.
''Now, don't ask me about the tariff or any
thing else" was the great speech Governor
Cleveland made at Buffalo to an able reporter.
When he talked to the people the Governor
seemed to be glad that he had received "a recep-
ton, as it were He said in the true manner Of
the solid South, II love my State"
IN the model Democratic State of Missouri
General Sherman is distinguished because he is
an officer of the army of the United States.
General Marmaduke, who resigned from the
army of the United States in order to take part
in the rebellion. is the Democratic candidate for
Governor of Missouri, and will be elected. This
is great country.
COL JOHN HANCOCK, an old and well-known
resident of Oshkosh, Wis, and up to the present
time steadfast Democrat, has declared for
Blaine and Logan. He was colonel of the Four
teenth Wisconsin Infantry at the close of the
war, and is lawyer by profession. The Colonel
has grown weary of the solid South, and the
trucking of the Democratic party to foreign
interests.
THE Republicans count confidently upon
electing three members of Congress from West
Virginia this month. which win be gain of two
over their present representation from that
State. They base their calculations on the fact

PROsTITUTED PREACHERS.

The ReY. James Freeman Clarke the Uni
tartan clergyman of Boston, has had an inter
view with Grover Cleveland He says, in
speech delivered in Boston:
II recently visited Governor Cleveland in
Albany, and spent an hour with him alone in
his private room. He talked with simplicity
and freedom, with a manner which carried
conviction of its truthfulness. He did not
pretend that he had not done wrong. He did
not wish me to think of him as better than he
was. But he thought he had right to say
that since he had been in public office, and for
the last eight or ten years, no man could truth
fully accuse him of having done anything to
disgrace himself or to offend his friends.
From what he said [ was satisfied that no one
had suffered more than himself from his past
errors, and | was convinced that he had left
them behind. But l gathered this not from
any formal confession or profession, but from
the depth of conviction with which he spoke.
He has shown his repentance in the
true way, by doing works meet for repent
ance."
Such words should have blistered the tongue
of any man uttering them, much more ofa pro
fessed Christian minister What evidence is
there that Grover Cleveland has repented, or
does now repent The fact that Mr. Clarke
says he has ''repented" and suffered for his
'past sins may be accepted as proof positive
that Mr.. Cleveland committed a wrong de-
handing atonement. What atonement hashe
madeg On unimpeachable testimony he be-
trayed a humble, respected woman under
promise of marriage. He then drove her to a
condition Of mind in which she was taken to
an insane asylum by men in his
employ while their boy was forcibly wrested
phan asylum, where he still remains, uncared
for by his father, disowned and dishonored for
life. The mother was paid $500 by the ere
pentant' man, and that is the end of his
reparation to her. At the time of his late visit
to Buffalo he never thought Of his boy, not
enough at least to visit him in his prison
home And this is repentance This is atone
ment, which professed Christian minister
stands up before the people and unblushingly
says should be accepted as expiation for his
''past errors, and the repentant man be elect
ed to the presidency of the United States!
Why is there not a word of sym
pathy for the poor, broken-hearted,
disowned, dishonored woman9 Why is
there not word of help for the nineyear old
lad who is to bear his crown of shame through
all the coming yearsG' The mother and son
are driven into enforced and disgraced retreat,
while the lbertine father is Toasted, and hon
ored, and elevated to public trust, made Gov
ernor of an empire State, and is a candidate
for the headship of great Christian nation!
And this work is abetted by men who call
themselves Christian ministers, and who have
taken VOWS to preach the gospel of the Lord
Jesus Christi Public opinion should be a
whip of scorpions to lash such preachers naked
through the world. More reparation and
atonement than this is demanded of the jail
bird in Justices court before he is even so
much as let out from behind prison bars.

THERE were sixteen gentlemen in the State
Fort Smith & Arkansas railway, at the in
stance of Mr.. Blaine. OF these but seven are
now alive. The Chicago News sent repre-
sentative to interview all of them with refer
ence to their business relations with Mr.
Blaine. But one Of the seven had a word to
say of criticism of Mr.. Blaine in any respect
while the most of them spoke in terms of
highest praise of the scrupulous integrity
manifested by Mr.. Blaine throughout the en-
tire transaction. Among the subscribers was
Governor Arson P. Morrill,, now eighty years
old, man respected, venerated, loved by the
people of Maine, and who is known the coun-
try over as a man Of the highest character and
honor 1t had been reported that Mr.. Morrill,
forced Mr.. Blaine to settlement when the
investment in the stock turned out to be

strength of my belief in Mr.. Blanes business

GROVER CLEVELAND has never been elected
as an out-and out Democrat When he was
elected sheriff of Erie county it wasas an in

ship of New York was brought about by a
series of political accidents that would not
again occur in his favor for hundred years
In the election of 1882 the Republican vote
fell oft 2l3 0S0 votes. Cleveland's vote, not
withstanding the fact that several thousand
free trade Republicans must have voted for
him, was OPS less than that received
by Garfield, So far as the Democratic
party is concerned, it is the Greeley expert

that he is a good man, who has suffered deeply
for his youthful iscretions-committed at

SOME infammatory Democratic papers are
finding fault with Mr. Tilden because he is
going to sail away on the ocean before casting
his vote for Cleveland. But just suppose he
should take a notion to remain and vote for
Blaine, what thenY Just such converts are
being made every day, and, at any rate, the
Sage does not appear to be largely engaged in
Democratic politics this year.

In July last the Democratic member Of
Congress refused to consider bill to pension
loyal Mexican veterans and to increase the
pension of widows from So to $12, because
the claims of ex-rebels who might have served
a few days in Mexico were not included. The
Democratic party purposes using the ex-
rebel Mexican soldiers as an entering wedge to
get alIdisabled confederates on the pension roll.

THE statements published in the Journal
this morning refuting the charges bearing
upon the relation of r. r. Shiel, the Rcpub-
lcan candidate for State Treasurer, to the
telegraphers' strike in 1888, show that he was
not only in sympathy with the strikers but
that he was a strong supporter of their cause
in the meeting of business men, which was
held in this city at the time, to take action in
regard to the matter. John G. Blake,
the secretary of the meeting, states that Mr..
Shiel made the motion for the adoption of the
resolution favoring ian amcable settlement
of the differences between the company and
telegraphers" and that during the dis
cussion which followed Mr. Shiel vigorously
and frequently expressed his earnest sym
pathy with the strikers, and urged upon the
meeting to take decided stand in favor of
the employees" The statements from 9th
ers bear testimony to the same
facts, and by the aflidavits of
two workingmen it is shown that the false
charges were instgated by Democrats. As a
wide circulation has been given to the misrep-
reservations against Mr. Shiel, it is but fair
and Just that the refutation of the false
charges should be given publication through
out the State.
