an hour to Epass after the appearance
of SO fatal report, without demanding
retraction. We have waited for that patiently
and in vain. Meanwhile, specifications, as well
as witnesses, increase. The lapse Of nearly
month, with no denial is settling the public in
the conviction that no denial is possible The
Advance is not a partisan, either for Mr. Blaine
or against Mr. Cleveland If report of any
thing so infamous as this were in circulation re-
garding the Republican candidate we should say
precisely what we say to-day. We speak only
for common morality and decency, and the
honor of the American people. The executive
mansion has never, in our entire history, been
disgraced by the occupancy of such
q man as Mr.. Cleveland is repre-
sented to be. No great party, since the
time of Aaron Burr, has ever insulted the Nation
by asking his suffrages for such man. If pa
gan Caesars wife must be above suspicion in
the first century, much more the President of a
great Christian people m the nineteenth. The
intimation in some quarters that citizens have
nothing to do with the private character of
nominee for the presidency is disgraceful init

American people will hold up to all Christendom
Leon Gambetta as their chosen representative,
he does not know them. We should sincerely
rejoice if Mr.. Cleveland could clear his record.
1t Is high time to do it. Every citizen who re-
spects himself will join the demand that he shall
either do it promptly and thoroughly or with
draw from the canvass

Letter in Philadelphia Press
Few women go into the surf at Long Branch.
It has come to be regarded as questionable
form among a set THAT fancies it makes fash
ion, and the women who do take publicly to the
sea are thought to show quite too much indvid-
uality. One dashing young woman, who is
either superior to or unaecustomed to society s
newest rules. is gorgeous spectacle all in her
self. She is a bewitching brunette, and comes
down to the sands at IL or thereabouts covered
from head to foot in mantle of white Turkish
stuff, relieved by broad red stripes. ST is ac-
companied by her French maid and natty lit

pertinent but really fills the Office of '.bathing
man. She calls him tArzner He wears knee
breaches, tight, short jacket silk hose slippers
without heels, and iaunty silk skull-cap held
in place by an elastic band The color of his
whole attire is somber black. The maid pIaces
a camp-stool on the sands and shades it with a
parti-eolored portable awning.
Everything being ready the mistress throws
off her mantle, losses it to her maid,servant and
stands a beautiful picture on the golden sands.
She is incased in light red merfno from her neck
to her knees Her arms and lower limbs are
covered with silk of glove-like tightness. Her
short tunie is edged with lace. Her lustrous
black hair is unbound and floats out on the
wind Her bathing man, at her command, lifts
her up in his arms and carries her with stately
step into the sea until he is knee deep Then he
suddenly plunges her under a big breaker She
comes up with sputter and the usual feminine
Shrek. Arzne smiles and speaks to her assur-
ingly. He submerges her no more but gently

The real danger of Butler in the canvass is
through an alliance he may be able to make
with Tammany. It seems silly to have it an
nounced, byway Of New York, that Kelly is go
ing to strain himself in Cleveland's behalf after
the exhibition Of absolute hatred toward him
openly manifested at Chicago. With Butler as
acandidate, he can well serve Kelly as Me-
masterpieces. and, under such cover, Kelly and
Tammany could even up reyenges without
showing of hands. There was every evidence
on the surface at Chicago going to show that
Kelly and Butler understood each other There
is no evidence going to show that such under
standing has been further cemented, save the
delay on Buffers part in thus long deferring his
purpose to be a candidate. He now bounds into

Correspondence Of the Indianapolis Journal.
ATTIcA, Ind, Aug. The Republicans of this
city opened the campaign last night by organ
izing Blaine and Logan club One hundred
and fifteen names were enrolled before the meet
ing adjourned, and many made applications for
membership afterwards. A glee club, forty
strong, furnished excellent music, and Capt. B.
F. Hegler, who was elected president of the
club, made ringing speech. The Republicans
here are wide awake and confident of showing a
greatly increased majority at the next election.
Among the members of the club are quite a mum.

A Novel entertainment.

One Of the most novel entertainments ever
given in the city was that of last night at the
residence of DR.. Chas. H. Hall, on the bin, under
the auspices Of the Little Boys Carpenters Soci-
Thomas N, Conner, in rhyme. At anearly hour
the spacious parlors of the residence began to
be filed with an audience equally as
novel as the entertainment. It con
sisted of little children, who had all paid
the price of admission, which amounted to fifty
pins. These pins were purchased by the parents
of the children for five cents, which was turned
over to the treasurer of the society, to be spent
for hammer and tacks, to enable them to make
brackets and ornaments with their fret saws.
The entertainment consisted of a magic Ian
tern exhibition and the audience was much
pleased.

the little folks to keep them off the streets and

Swiss Profits from the Cholera.

The clever Swiss have done an excellent piece
of diplomacy. Until day or two ago there was
quarantine on the Franco and the Swiss Italian
thus travellers were still able to reach Italy
through the Tyrol But this one-sided arrange
ment stirred the diplomatic Indignation of the
Swiss. The Italians have incontinently fallen
into the trap, and the remaining entry into their
country is to be closed by the establishments Of a
five days quarantine on the Austrian frontier.
The food of tourists is thus safely banked up
within the four corners of Switzerland, and to
still further increase the fertilizing stream even
the fumigation at Geneva is for the future to be
dispensed with. The nation Of hotel keepers
deserves to profit by its sensible superiority to

Oberland, as well as those IN Cantons Vaud and
Valais are said to be full to overfowing.

Who was it for the stripes and stans
Risked fortune, fame, and lifel

OF many bloody strife?
Who was it led the patriot van
And held the flag ON hight

gloried in the fray
Till finally fainting fell
With one leg shot away.
But on, to Corinth's CHASTITY field,

And did not hesitate to yield
A paltry arm or two.
And when with Sherman to the sea
Our gallant army crossed,
The rebel bullets followed me-
Another leg lost;
But still gladly drained the cup
OF keen misfortune's harm
And down at Gettysburg gave up
Another leg and arm.
