THE brutal and cowardly instincts Of the
Democratic party are thoroughly aroused.
The first manifestation was in the dastardly
assault upon the honor Of Mrs. Blaine Then
the unhappy Halpin woman, who 1seduced1
Mr.. Cleveland, and who bore a son to him,
was maligned, being widow and motherl
and for that reason could not be seduced by
Cleveland. Now, theattention Of these ghouls
is turned upon Mrs. Garfield; and because the
bosom friend Of her heroic husband pays her
the respect Of a call while in the city Of Cleve-
land, they pretend to discover an attempt to
'theatrically pose before the people. Mrs.
Garfeld's self-respect is fouted at and her
wifely sincerity and affection discounted by
the charge that she will be party to scheme
to afford Mr. Blaine an opportunity to call

Ex-JUDGE SAMUEL D. MORRIS, Of Brook
lyn, who has just returned from an extended
vacation trip in Europe, says upon political
matters:
II am Democrat, but do not intend to vote
for Cleveland Fancy, for a mo-
ment reception day at the White House,
and the mothers and daughters Of the land
pressing forward to greet the Nations chief
executive. Fancy Grover Cleveland with his
bastard son by his side, receiving his guests,
aud saying; This is my son; it is true he is a
bastard and that his mother is prostitute,
and cannot be here; but this is my bastard
son. Oh, no! it cannot be possible that the
voting men Of this great Nation Of ours will
ever SO far insult their homes, their mothers
their daughters, or their wives as to place
Grover Cleveland in the chair hallowed by a
Washington and Lincoln!D

IN THE NAME OF REFORM.

To shield hbertine who seduced from
virtue widow and mother, and threw her
and the issue Of their shame upon the charity
of the world, the Democratic press was driven
to invade the sanctity of one Of the purest
homes in America. Defeated in their in
famous purpose, and driven out by the scorn
of all honorable men and pure women, the
immoral life and character of the Democratic
nominee stand out before the American pub
lie in all their disgusting hideousness. To
ward off the inevitable contempt felt for such
man, the New York Post and Henry Ward
Beecher rush to his aid, and with deprecatory
gesture beg that he be regarded as a pure
man; his offense is trivial one; the woman he
seduced was widow; she was a
woman of years; the mother of
two children; che made 1t all
right with her'-paid her the munifcient sum
Of $780, And the illegitimate boy is God only
knows where! Can there be any wonder
that Mr.. Blaine and his honored wife have
been assailed2 The exigencies of the Demo
cratic campaign compelled it. Beaten back,
it now has opportunity to contemplate the
character of its nominee, and the nature of
the defense that is being made in his behalf.
How do the decent men of that party regard
it, What do Democratic husbands and
fathers think of the confessions made in be-
half of Mr.. Cleveland What do they think
Of the argument that his offense was small
because committed against widow, the
mother of children, to share with her the
shame of her downfallY Was ever outrage
more dastardly, was ever chastity and wom-
anly virtue draggled in the filth as is now be-
ing done by and in behalf Of the Democratic
nomineel And in the name Of reform9

MADAME JANAUscHEK, or, as she impressively
subscribes hersef, Franceska Romano Magda-
lena Janauschek, has, like Anna Dickinson,
felt compelled to defend herself against the so
called New York critics by writing letter for
publication For some reason this actress has
never been well received by the Metropolitan
press, disposition TO write her down having
been shown from her first appearance The
same policy is displayed this season, the Herald
even going to the length or warning Intelligent
people away from her new play This exasper-
ated the Madame, who is accused of possessing a
temper not out of proportion to her excellent
historic abilities, and she comes back att her
detractors in an epistle which shows an aston
ishing grasp Of the English language in the de-
mandatory line. After protesting against the
injustice Of tho attempt to injure her with "a
libel that is as far from dramatic criticism as
impudent violence is from virtue itself. she re-
fers to the rowdy issue Of the New York press as
follows:
II wish to point out here that dramatic art in
America, which is endeavoring to struggle
through the disadvantages of an intense and
practical life into an atmosphere of good taste,
is beset at every effort by ruffianism in the me-
tropolis of this country that it encounters mo-
where else Every effort to encourage and de-
velop the dramatic talent of native writers en-
counters this ruthless rowdyism of the press
And almost always at one quarter-at the ac-
knowledgcd center of the Nation. I
have found the best managers turning their
backs upon the metropolis as center of author
itative opinion, and seeking Chicago, Philadel-
phia, Boston and Buffalo as their initial starting
point with their enterprises, simply because they
are disinclined to submit their wares and
their work to the infamous stupidity of a news
