Indianapolis Journal (Rep.): Weun-

popular candidate in England. On the
other hand, in the language of George

ONO Is sort of authorized nursery
where Presidents are raised and get
ready for the market.
Mr.. VROOMAN, Secretary of the Re-
publican State Committee of New York
says that information from Buffalo. the
home OF Gov. Cleveland, places it be-
yond all question that Blaine will carry
Erie county by 5000 majority.
ExCLAIIs the New York Star. the bIitbe
iammany organ: AS for Cleveland, was
there ever candidate endorsed by the
mighty democratic party-not excepting
horace Greeley-whO went into campaign
with such threatening elements of defeat
surrounding him?
HENDRICKS, at Saratoga, advised that
the Buffalo scandal be treated with abso-
lutte silence. Democrats are not all of that
way of thinking Many believe with
Dana, that an answer, if that is possible.
should be made. Others think the wisest
course is to cheek it through"
JAMES BURK, of Madison, Wis.
lifelong Democrat, is out in card to
the State Journal denouncing the Demo-
cratic candidate for President as "a
friend of mOnopolists and an enemy of
lrishmen," and calls on his fellow coun
trymen to vote the Blaine-Logan ticket.
BUFFALO Times (Dem.): Coming from oh.
scurity himself Grover Cleveland makes
as all such men are liable to-one of the
most arbitrary, selfish and domineerinp
aristOcrats. He has forfeited the symnathv
and support of the laboring classes of this
State, and he can never regain their con-
fidence.
CHARLES A. DANA, in the New York
Sun OF July Both, says: eve have re-
ceived several letters urging that Cleve-
land should be withdrawn. Some wish
this because they think Cleveland can
not unite the Democratic party; Others.
because they have adopted the opinion
that his moral character is bad"
New North Vest: Curtis is a great
stickler for civil service reform and op-
posed to making offices a reward for
party services. Hendricks saws when
the Democrats get in they will turn out
the Republican office-holders and put in
Democrats. Yet Curtis supports Hen
bricks. He has sent his conscience ont
TOR summer vacation, and all that is
despicable of him is now editing Hqr-
per's Weekly.
Theodore Roosevelt, the young Repub-
lican Independent of New York, upon
whom Geo. VIM. Curtis expended so much
persuasion to join him in his treacherous
betrayal of the Republican party, says:
"A number OF Independents are dis
satisfied with my course in declaring for
Blaine, but this is not creditable to their
intelligence. | should think little of
myself should Ipermit the Independents
to dictate to me any more than the ma
chine"
The New York San says: 'If man
is immoral in his life, if he has deceived
and betrayed women or abandoned his
illegitimate children, he is a wretch who
ought not to be tolerated, much less pro-
NOTED to stations of official trust" This
Is StroHg language from courageous
journal, and it now looks as though Mr.,
Cleveland would have to clear up his
record or lose the support of the most
influential Democratic paper in the
country.

extols Cleveland and derides Kelly, the
