THE Kokomo Dispatch, Of the 18th. saw

THE Dispatch of last week reproduced from
the indianapolis Democrat an article touching
the suit of James G.. Blaine against John @.
Shoemaker, in which the formers early matri-
monial experience was touched upon Through
very exasperating blunder Of the compos-
itorr, the article was improperly credited to the
Indianapolis Journal, and in this shape it
eluded the Argus eye Of the proof-reader
Such errors are not infrequent in all
newspaper Offices, no matter how yigilant the
care exercised. The blunder was made by the
son Of federal office holder himself stall
wart Republican, and this fact is evidence
that the error was one Of carelessness and not
of design. : We trust that the Jour
nal and our Republican friends will appreciate
the true nature of the blunder and extend to
us the charity of honest intentions.
We were satisfied the credit was typo
graphical blunder, and that Mr.. Henderson,
the editor. would correct it SO soon as his at
tention was called to It.

Four years ago Cleveland, o., had greatness
thrust upon her BY CHANGING to lie in the path
over which pilgrims wened their way to Mentor,
This year. not being on the road to anywhere,
and fearing forgetfulness on the part of the
world at large, she is endeavoring to achieve
greatness by arresting, as crank, every
stranger who has neglected to visit the barber
or have his boots BACKED It behooves the
traveller who is stranded in that village to look
neither to the right nor the left and to get
away as soon as possible.

Ex-GovERNoR CONRAD BAKER sets at rest
The false and ridiculous statement that he
was either lukewarm in his Republicanism or
was about to declare in favor of Cleveland.
Governor Baker is for the Republican party
because the Republican party is for the in

lection of American industry against the free
trade principles Of the Democratic party.

Mr. OLIVER WoRMAD will, for purse of
$1,000 envelop himself in big rubber ball and
go over Niaera Falls. Mr.. Wormad's method
will commend itself to the public over that of
ordinary ball-playing, owing to the fact that he
will in himself comprise whole team, includ
ing the battery and also that, for obvious rea
sons, there can be no repetition of the game. To

appended the statement that he is thirty five

tour. Well, the public doesn't wish to be
charged with cruelty to animals, and will excuse
him. The mental effort involved in writing that
Elmira composition must have been very severe
and his secretary would soon break down under
the strain Of composing series Of such gems.
Besides, it is no easy matterto commit pieces to
memory, and Mr.. Cleveland ought not to be ex-
pected to do tiff he Is able-bodied. He may be
excused.

''THE BLAINE LIBEL SUIT.
feThe Indianapolis Sentinel will issue, about

Sentinel Office, Indianapolis, Ind
Here is an announcement that the Sentinel
will issue all the gossip and slanderous tales
it has been accommodating, but which it &C
knowledges do not constitute legal evidence
upon which it dares to go to trial in a court of
justice, in the shape of a campaign document,
and it wants committees and clubs to order
largely and assist in their distribution among
the people. This is to be issued on the 25th of
September, while the notices to take deposi
tons already served on Mr. Blaines attorneys
cover portion Of the month Of October.
This shows whether the Sentinel is ready to
go to trial It shows that it is using this case
simply and solely for political effect, while
preventing the man it has so foully attacked
from legally defending the honor of his wife
and children before the election, which it
hopes to influence by its waton libel. We
submit that nowhere, at any time, in all the
history Of foul malicious libel and SANDER,
can there be found so atrocious, soconscience-
less, SO infamous an instance as thisq
