cago gentleman saying that he will not be able
to visit that city during the canvass
PHILADELPHIA Press; Governor Hoadly, OF
Ohio, has taken the stump The last time
Hoadly went into politics no took nothing but
malaria.
ST. LOUIS Post Dispatch 1t is said that Mrs
Lockwood believes she will be elected to the
presidency by decided majority This would be
good time for some one to borrow $40 of her
New York Tribune: How Satan must hug
himself with grim mirth when after reading
Democratic editorials on the dignity and virtue
of the prohibition movement. he learns that the
liquor dealers have raised $3.50, 600 to help the
Democrats carry Ohio!
GOVERNOR CLEVELAND was nominated for
President on Friday, July 10, and Il. w R.
writes to the New York Sun declaring that it
was according to the eternal fitness of things
that an ex-sheriff should be nominated for the
presidency on hangman's day.
Hon. JOHN D. Lone has been renominated for
Congress from the Second congressional district
of Massachusetts. Gov Long is one of the
great men of the Republican party and will take
q leading place in the next Congress, even higher
than he did in the last, when he was new mem

NEW YORK Star, Tammany organ: Mr..
Cleveland shows no sign of disposition to with
draw Surrounded as he is with sycophants and
scheming human barnacles, the man probably
does not appreciate the magnitude and intensity
of the hostility which prevails against him in the
Democratic party. He is as a lump of putty in
the hands of the managers
New YORK Commercial Advertiser: The
Cleveland organs have not word to say about
Lot M. Morrills Little Rock s. Fort Smith in
vestment Their silence about that speculation
is as profound and as impressive as their avoid
ance of all mention of the Morey and Raum
forgeries There is nothing evasve or dishonest
about these organs They are pinks of political
proprety.
GATH's special; The Republicans have ordered
complete canvass to be made Of the States of
West Virginia, Tennessee, Louisiana and North
Carolina The Democrats claim in Tennessee
majority of twenty thousand for their candi-
date for Governor. understand the Republic
an candidate is confederate soldier who carried
musket when a mere child, and after the war
reflected that he had done great deal of march
ing to break up his own property.
New YORK special: There probably has
not been a more ridiculous fabrication than
that which appears in special to the Herald,
that many Republicans in the city of Indianapo
lis sat on the platform when Carl Schurz spoke
against Blaine in a sympathetic capacity as
vice presidents. That is not the style of the Re
publicans of Indiana. Besides, there are not
enough anti-Blaine Republicans in Ohio and In
diana to fill an old fashioned stage. Six rocking
chairs would swallow the whole crowd.
PROFESSOR PERRY is out with another broad
side against the tariff He says he is prepared
to maintain anywhere that no protective tariff
was ever laid in this country, except at the in
stance and under the pressure of selfish and
greedy men, whose only motive and sole design
was to benefit themselves at the expense af their
countrymen. Mr. Perry does not withdraw his
commendation of Mr. Cleveland as a free trader
and he believes so much in the Democratic can
ddate that he has offered his services on the
stump
CARL ScHuRz, in 1880, after showing that the
Republican party had established industrial and
commercial prosperity on a sound basis, by wise
legislation, asked "And what prudent man
would now risk these great results by turning
over our financial policy to the hands of the
party which is the refuge of all destructive ele-
ments threatening new uncertainty and con-
fusionP Was he thinking of the free-traders
who have taken refuge there, and threaten the
country's business with new uncertainty and
confusion?s
THE Rev. Robert Collyer, speaking Of some Of
the charges against Governor Cleveland said:
II have pledged myself to vote FOR him, as you
know but am sorry to be confronted by his
record. Clergymen are of course the Shepherds
in every sense, of their congregations They
are supposed to be capable of judging of moral
questions Chastity is one of the greatest of
virtues and without it a man is incomplete. An
unchaste man may we'll be regarded with solici-
tude by his friends If Mr.. Cleveland had
known me in his younger days, and had known
Of my doctrines of early marriage, perhaps all
of this trouble might have been avoided. Bach
elorhood is always dangerous to q mans morals,
and it has been doubly so to Mr.. Cleveland
