II is rather heartless for Governor Cleveland TO
be attending the light and frivolous barbecue in
these DAYS When he reflects upon the terrible
casualty that his party met with IN Ohio he ought
TO abstain from that carnal amusement. The pro-
prictics demand that instead of filling himself with
the stalled or of the barbecue he should be labor
ing TO gel tho Democratic ont of tho pit in which
1t now lies.

TIE TRIBUNE is charged by The Springfield Re |
publican with inserting four words to wit, "as you
term it," IN Mr. ST. Johns recent letter and. in an
