cLEYEL4ND,s RECORD

Cleveland may not be SO well known as
James g. Blaine, and he certainly has not
that magnetism of the latter which seems to
attract so many INSCRIPTIONS jobbers. but
what is known of him is to his credit In
support of this we beg leave to inform our
Republican contemporaries
That Gov. Cleveland never acted as an
agent to secure g contract for any com pany,
and, after securing stock in the company, vot-
ing, as a member of the House of Representa-
tiyes, to relieve the company from paying
just taxes on its wares.
That he never controlled any Northern
Pacific stock which he did not buy.
That he had nothing to do with the Credit
Mobilier frauds.
That he was never connected with the Lit
tie Rock & Fort Smith railroad, and never,
as presiding officer of the House, ruled in
favor of railroad corporation, and sent
word to the president OF that corporation in
forming him that he had done the company
a great favor.
That he was not connected with the Guano
claim.
That he did not SADDLE the silver bill, nor
vote to protect the lumber thieves.
That lie was never the friend of the lobby,
and never accepted presents or brides from
the lobbyists.
That he is not the author of the Mulligan
letters.
And yet there are few newspapers in the
country who are trying to persuade the peo-
pie that the man who did all this should be
elected President over Cleveland What do
you think of it, voters!

The Future Queen or spain.

Madrid Letter to the American Register.
The heir to the crown even assumes the
title Of Prince Asturias-thus we have a
sweet little girl, the Infanta Mercedes, who
is, up to the present persumptive beiress,
called the Princess Asturias. The little baby
is the very image Of her royal mother, Queen
Christina (Christa as she likes to sign her
self. with the Austrian GeDaatt,liet4teit.) She
appears daily in public, that is, she takes a
drive through the streets Of Madrid to the
beautiful Park of the Retro, the Spanish Bois
de Boulogne, or ON the Castellana, magni-
fcent promenade. Whenever her outrider
appears, everybody stops to get glimpse Of
the lovely, winesome child, so pure and del
icate in her snowy robes. She is always
dressed in white, summer or winter; even
the little chair which is fixed upon the seat Of
her little carriage is covered with white satin
upholstery. Her equerry always rides along
side the door Of her carriage, and her gov
erness, the duchese Of Medina de las Torres,
occupies the seat at her left. Her wet
nurse was Spanish woman from the noun
tains Of Asturias, but her nurse is an En-
glish woman.

NWAYISM,

There has something very horrible occur
red over in England and Ireland Originally
there was a citizen in high standing arrested
for the commission of this horrible thing
whatever it was. Then there were more ar
rests of other people for being accomplices
with Mr.. Conway in this fright
full and unnameble offense.
Every day, for several weeks, has brought
accounts of further commitments of men of
standing for being in the Conway business.
The latest telegram from over the way says
that DIR. Fernandez of that exclusive, high
toned regiment, the Coldstream Guards, has
been arrested on charge of what for
want OF exact information, the GLOBE will
turn Conwayism. Only think of it,
The COdstream Guards are one of the
three regiments of footgpards and numbers
two sons of the Queen among their colonies.
Conwayism has penetrated even into the ex-
elusive precincts where the air is purple with
the hue of royalty.
What adds to the mystery of all this is that
the respectable" publishers of newspapers
in Dublin, where the trial is about to occur
have signed an agreement to suppress all de
tails which may be brought out by the evil
deuce. It is thought by them to be some
thing which the public olght not to know.
Evidently the world is not going to get at
the facts in the case. 1t has been permitted
to know that any number of lords and other
biz wigs, including the surgeon in one of
the regiments OF the Queens household bril-
gadc have been arrested for something un
mentonable, and are about to
be tried in secret. Evil
IDENTITY there is something wrong in
the upper circles of arstocratic London.
If this sort of thing goes much farther, there
will arise suspicion that London is not as
immaculate as it claims to be, or is admitted
to be by Brother Moody, who so lately gave
the English d certificate of lofty
moral and religious character. The
fact that nobody knows just what the offense
is will have the effect to stimulate the imagi-
nations of people and they will be sure to
make the matter worse than it is if posi-
BILE. In any case the country viii get some
satisfaction out of the occurrence.
An English snob has just published book
in which he makes us appear as but tri6e
above balloons. We can at least console
ourselves with the conclusion that however bad
we may be, we have never been in position
when hundred or so Of our "best' citizens
have been arrested for crimes too horrible
and offensive to be even named.

a Man Returns after Thirty Years.

=
Rev Archer Fairchild returned to Lee yes
terday, after an absence of thirty yesrs. lie
walked into the house of his brother-in- law,
II. A. Peck, and greatly surprised the family,
who have not heard from him for nearly thirty
years, aud supposed he was dead. He went
to Michigan when boy, and finally found his
way to Portland, Ore, where he has distin-
guished himself as a Methodist preacher.
and he was sent on from there to attend the
convention in Philadelphia. He will remain
in the county visiting his old friends for
few days, and then return by the Northern
Pacific road to his Oregon home. His long
silence is due to the fact that after he left
Michigan he was for long time beyond
any possible way OF communicating With his
friends, as he was travelling through the
wilderness to the Pacific coast. And when
he reached Oregon he had Teen away so long
that he did not know where his friends were.
as letters that were written were never re-
ceived. He finally gave up trying to COM
munieate with them, hoping he might some
time come east and see them.
