Mr.. Riddle says that all his property had Deen

but their private interests they drew out all

The House made a singular disposition ycster-
day of the report of the committee on the
Brooklyn Public Building site. The committee
found that the charges of corruption and collu-
sion that had been preferred were absolutely
without foundation. "There has not been pro-
duced before U.s." is the emphatic language OF
the committee, a scintlla of evidence which III
the slightest degree reflects upon the integrity
of the Secretary of the Treasury, upon the
supervising architect. or upon any other olhcer
of the Government" Nevertheless, on the
motion of Mr. Holman, who is apt to think he
is practical when he is simply narrow, the re-
port was recommitted with instructions to the
committee to reopen the investigation ms
may not be child's play or something worse but
it certainly has bad look considering the I'M
qualified character of the report. Inc pnDlic
may we'll conclude that there is Il well-deyelopeu

4 specimen Democratic Gain.

A. j. Aldrich of the Coldwater Republican,,
read very able paper before the Michigan
Press association at its recent meeting, on
"The Relation of Newspapers TO Politics"
The relation of his newspaper to politics just
at present will not please republican politi-
clans. Having concluded that Cleveland and
Hendricks are much preferable TO Blaine and
Logan as candidates, it has spurned the ban
ner of the plumed knight, and hoisted that
of Cleveland and reform.-Pdo PdD Free
Press and Courier.
We are in receipt of letter from Mr.. AL
drich, in which he says there is no truth
whatever in the above statement. he writes:
''The Republican isarepublican paper, and
expects to support Blaine and Logan, until
they are elected in November next"
The above is, no doubt, a fair specimen
of great many of the democratic gains from
the republican ranks. They exist only in the
imagination of those with whom the wish is

The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1884-07-31

During the past week the American people
have been shocked by the publication of
charges against the character OF Grover
Cleveland, which, if true, not only show him
to be an unfit man for the Presidency, but
should place him beneath the contempt of
all good citizens. The charges are, in brief,
that be is libertine and debauchee, a
drunkard and seducer, that he is the father
of an ilegitimate child, now living in the
city of Buffalo, whose mother he ruined, and
whom he afterwards without process of law
caused TO be placed in an insane asylum,
although not insane, and whom he deprived
of her child in q most heartless and outrage
Gus manner. The charges are made with
great particularly, and their truth vouched
for by prominent clergymen and other citi-
zens. If true, Mr.. Cleveland is a villain, who
ought to be behind prison bars, instead of in
the Governors chair. If false, those who
make and publish the accusations should be
dealt with by the strong arm of the law, and
made to feel that the character of an Ameri-
can citizen cannot be so foully aspersed with
impunity
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1884-07-31

Gen. Logan's letter of acceptance, while
not as brilliant as that of Mr.. Blaine, is
strong and vigorous, and worthy of the
bluff old soldier who wrote it. His language
is plain and unmistakable, and shows him to
be in full and complete accord with the
party, especially upon the great and over
shadowing issue of the campaign, the tariff.
Protection 10 American labor and American
industries is boldly advocated both in the
platform of the republican party and by each
OF lis standard bearers.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1884-07-31

The New York SIM (democratic) says
Blaine is making the tariff the prominent
issue of the campaign, and that influential
democrats are anxious to crafty him in this
matter. Should they succeed in this says
the SIM, ain our judgment the result would
be deplorable. If Col. Morrison had been
allowed to have his way and had presented a
respectable, undisguised free-trade platform,
the party would have been beaten upon it
all the same, but that question would have
been settled, and then the country could
have turned to other and more necessary
things. But defeat upon a disputed and in
ferential platform has just the same mischief
as defeat upon Col. Morrison's platform,
without any of the benefits" 1t would seem,
therefore, that, in the Judgment of the SIN,
the democrats are predestined to defeat in
any event, and that the party will stand all
the worse in the eyes of the American people,
on account of its laundering, straddling tariff
plank in its platform. This is not republ
can testimony, but the candid opinion OF the
leading democratic journal in New York.

The prohibition party declare, in their
platform, 'that the collection of revenue from
alcoholic liquors and tobacco should be abol-
ished." That looks very much as though
they would rather have free whiskey, unless
they can have enforced temperance by means
OF prohibition. The reform desired must
come in their own way or not at all. They
will have the whole hog or nothing. AS long
as we have not prohibition, most men would
prefer to see our revenue raised by tax on
whiskey than by tax on bread, and who but
a half crazy fanatic would not prefer tax
on tobacco, to tax on corn or cotton?
Temperance is good thing, total abstinence
is good thing, and the best men Of the
nation, the moral men, would rejoice to see
the time when no liquor should be used as
beverage, but it is more than doubtful if
that result can ever be achieved through the
efforts of the prohibition party.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1884-07-31

Would those over nice prohibitionists who,
in their platform, condemn Gen. Logan for
suggesting that the revenue for liquors be
devoted to educational purposes, refuse q
donation from liquor dealer in aid of the
church or of any charitable institution? We
guess not: we never heard of such an instance.
If that is all the fault they can find with
Logan's position on the whiskey question, he
will not lose the support or respect of candid
temperance men, to any great extent.

The prohibitionists have nominated ez-
governor st. John of Kansas, as their candi-
date for President. If he shall prove as
successful in dissipating votes, as when he
was republican, the party that placed him
in nomination will soon disappear. 1000
votes year is what he cost the republicans
of Kansas during the time he was Governor
of that state.

Butler to the democratic convention. How

democratic party out of "the horrible pit OF
miry clay" into which it had plunged itself?

Some of the greenback organs are patting
themselves on the back because they have
an exconfederate general on their ticket.
Most good citizens would rather vote for
a man who fought 70 save his country, as
Logan did, than for one who fought to
destroy it, as West did.
