1t Is noticed that the Blame snow
differs from the other "greatest shows
on earth" in that it is not advertised
"as a strictly moral exhibition
Louisville Times.
We have read a good many fitting
characterizations of Blaine, but this,
from Websters Unabridged. Diction-
airy, describes the tattoced statesman
best:
"Blain, an infammatory swelling
or sore a pustule; a blister"
'Botches and bans must all his flesh imhoss"
Milton.
Belva Lockwood is already busily
engaged on her Inauguration dress.
1t will be a serious loss in case she
does not get there. There isn't an
other candidate to whom she could
sell it, and yet she can't put off max
ing it until after she is elected. There
is some disadvantage in being wo-
man candidate after all.-Burlington
IIawkeyc.
While the train bearing Gen. Lo-
gan was at Hinton, West, Va, Mon
day, a citizen, Henry West, said
seen. Logan, you raised the first
rebel flag in Illinois, and | want to
shake with YOU" "Who said Ibid p
asked Logan. 81 don't know who,
but | know you dill it," was the re-
ply. "You are a liar" excitedly eX.
claimed the General, and spat full in
the mans upturned face.-Ex.
Joseph Mulhattan, according to 6
press telegram, left Louisville yester
day on campaign tour through thC
South. 1t will be remembered tha
Mr.: Mulhattan was nominated fol
President by the National Associa
ton of Drummers at Louisville las
week on platform favoring better
railroad, hotel and liverystable ac
commodations: the increase of drum
lners' salaries; free interstate com
merce; Prohibition and an eight
hour law, and opposing contract pen
itcntiary labor. Mulhattan has beef
known throughout the Southwest a
the most picturesque, panoramic ant
prismatic liar cXtant. lie is the in
genious inventor of nearly all the re
pnariably newspaper stories that ap
pear in the South and West. He ha
"a wonderful memory for things tina
never happened. But Mr.. Mulhatta,
must 90 to. He is triile late. II
can fill the role of an everyday loca
liar very well, but one greater tina
, he has arisen. Mr.. James G.. Blaiu
: is the man. There is no opening fo
another Presidential candidate in th
Ananias line this year.-New Yor
World.
The Stalwart Republicans of NeN
York have issued an address to th
party which concludes as follows
"If there are Stalwarts who are will
ing to blind their eyes to his (Blaine'
moral defects, and who think th,
: regular nominations are not bindin
: on any but themselves, they may vo
for him; but all who despise falls
: hood, corruption, and party treasC
will rejoice in the opportunity no
Z, afforded them to put an end for a
time to come to the political aspir
ton of James G. Blaine. Some WI
5 contribute to this result by their a
: ton aud some by their inaction. b.
IS there will be enough of both class
e put together to spare New Yol
IS from the disgrace of casting her ele
:, toral vote for this shameless, mere
nary and political apostate."
&c Gen. Logan does not pride hims'
4. upon his deeds of valor on the bait
j. field, and rarely thinks of the hu
Vt dreds of thousands he has slain. L
one ambition is to be known as t
Splitter from Spitville.-This " Th;
