a prediction: John P. st. John will not receive
5000 votes in the whole State Of Kansas on the
4th day of next November.
NEW YORK Commercial Advertiser: Chairman
Barnum, while searching diligently for mules"
has discovered that the Republicans propose to
buy the votes of several dozen States next
month, and accordingly he sent out yesterday.
long address to Democratic voters, prayertully
urging them not to sell themselves. Mr.. Bar
mum pays a high compliment to the voters OF his
party.
BALTIMORE Herald; When the Democrats
wake up on the morning of Nov g. and find In
diana again under the Republican banner they
will realize that political perhdy receives its due
reward the same as other forms of dishonesty.
1t is safe to say that in Mr. Hendrickss defeat
Mr. Mcdonald will find nothing to regret
To him it will be political as well as poetical
justice
New YORK Sum Another week remains for
sober thought ere the final blow will be struck
in this most extraordinary presidential contest
As the close of the struggle draws near, the pros
pect Of a victory for the Democrats becomes
DINNER. The fate that awaits them is due to
| their folly in allowing an ignorant and debased
candidate to be forced upon them by small
faction of grumbling Republicans.
New YORK Sun: Henry Ward Beecher's let
ter to Mr.. JOY which we publish elsewhere is a
wonderful production to come from such a
source. This wretched reprobate, who seduced
his friends wife and perjured himself over and
| over, presumes to accuse another of falsehood
and to threaten him with hell fire in way that
might make Satan smile. No more shameless
| villain than Beecher was ever seen.
NoRRIsTowN Herald The publishers of the
Century say the edition of the magazine for
November is the largest ever printed. The OBJ
ject of the big edition is obvious. The Novem-
| Der number contains an article entitled, "How
| Shall We Elect our Presidents" and the pub
| fishers expect every Democrat in the country to
| buy d number in order to learn an art of which
! they have been ignorant for more than twenty
| five years.
BosToN Journal: '"rhe Democratic newspa-
pers,' said commercial traveller at the Quincy
House yesterday, as he laid down the Herald,
must things differently from what the
business men meet in New York do. 1 travel
| for New York house, consisting of three men
| who have always been Democrats, two of them
from the South When left on Friday, one of
them told me that the firm were all for Blaine,
and that if wanted to vote for Blaine to come
back and my expenses would be paid.
AN Ohio Republican writing from Mobile,
Ala, Oct. 25, says: at is q known fact down
here that the Democratic party are collecting
money from all workmen who are unfortunate
| enough 10 De working Tor democratic H11nS.
| The money is to be used in the Northern States
for corrupting the ballot-box on the 4th of next
month. This wholesale bleeding extends
| throughout the iron region in Birmingham,
| Montgomery and all other places where men are
employed The Sloss furnace at Birmingham,
assessed their employees 81 each, and they had to
come down or leave, white or black
THE Sunday Capital, which has been rated as
a Cleveland organ during the campaign, says,
among other things ''We regard Indiana as
certain to give a majority for Blaine, and shall
not be astohished if it goes to 10, 900. Indiana
will GO Republican for the same reasons that it
| went Republican four years ago We do not re-
| gard Mr.. Hendricks as of the slightest import
ance as political factor in the campaign. He
| belongs to past age, and is a hindrance, rather
| than help to his party. There is not margin
enough on either side to bet upon. but ing
| the whole situation candidly, we think that Mr..
Blaines chances are slightly better than those OF
| Mr.. Cleveland"
DEMOCRATS always boast before an election,
and whine after it. and there was never better
Illustration of this characteristic than is now fur
nished by the defeated tricksters of Ohio. The
chairman of the Republican State committee
| shows them up effectively as follows; Beaten
at the polls, with their schemes to stuff the bal
lot-box and defeat the popular will detected and
exposed, with campaign fund of $275, 900
wasted on ward strikers and political deadbeats,
| convicted as cheats and liars these Democratic
managers now howl like whipped ours over their
| merited misfortunes,' and afford to the world
another verifcation of the truth that the way of
| the tranSgressor is hard. ~
