In New York City, last Sunday,
Rev. Juston d. Fulton made special
prayer for editors. Some editors
may take offense at this as it implies
that they need to be specially prayed
for. 1t is probable the reverend gen.
tleman had in his minds eye certain
Republican editors.-Covington Com

Judge William j. Bacon, a we'll
known Republican ofNew York, who
served in Congress with Blaine, in a
speech at Utica, said he could not
maintain a good conscience and vote
for man unless he believed him TO

Cleveland or any other man SHOULD

the Blaine press carefully avoids say

1t is fact that at the Independent
headquarters in this city money am
signatures are flowing in at rat
that the projectors of the movement
enthusiasts though they were, di
not expect. The committees encour
agement does not come principal

writing encouragingly from all part
of The country, Independent clubs ar
being organized in hundreds of town

the Independents are obtaining mon

This is something which the part
of moral ideas did not look for, an
Of which they cannot get rid by an
amount of sneering. Men who with

not of the kind that can be coughe
down or laughed down. Any one c
them has in the locality in which Ii
is known, more influence than an
local party magnate. All of whic
looks very bad for Blaine.
