Bccchcr. In 1850.
Why does Mr.. Beecher think better of the Demo
cratic party now Is il on account of the Nor
rson bill that he is nov enlisted on that side :
Has Democracy Mt last demonstrated It's states
manship by identifying itself with the cause OF
British free-trade so that Mr. Beecher is ready to
condone all It's crimes during the last twenty-five
years!
To Inquirer: 1t is commonly supposed that Mr..
Tennys0n wrote.

but il is believed at Yale that the treasurer OF
The college pannod the line rs expressive OF his
anxiety for the vanished hand OF the alleged Mr..
Stcrne ChIttcndcn-tbat hand that was to write
and sign a check for $4,000 to the treasurer's
order Whether the hand and the rest of Sterne
Chttendcn have led to Canada TO remain until
after election. or whether all Of his members and
The rest of Chitenden myths, may well furnish
food for thought for the detective Of the period.

The BHGdlo EJpyrss is authority for the statement
that a doomed man in Indiana played on the ac

returns from Ohio prove that all that is political of
you must mount the scafold early in November.
II was rather late foThc Democrats Of Ohio to try
t. mako fusion with the Greenbackers last week.
after having carried on the campaign mp to this
time with the expectation that they could secure
the electoral votes Of the state for Cleveland.
Colonel Foster, of Youngstown states that on the
10Th lac received a letter from the chairman of the
Democratic state Committee at Columbus, with
others from other Democrats, asking him upon
what terms the Greenbackers would unite with the
Democracy He replied. " On terms" as they
proposed 10 support their own ticket 1t is plain
enough that the Democrats would have made no
such proposition If they had felt that there was
fair chance of their carrying the state as many OF
them outside of Ohio now pretend.
After spending sOme weeks in making very ex-
haustiye speeches in order to secure Democratic
majority in OHIO of which he very certain,
Mr. Schurz is now of opinion that the Ohio election
will not have any appreciabe effect upon the re-
suit in November He isn't the first fox that has
considered the grapes altogether sour.
The latest Democratic calculation. it appears, Is
that the Indie Dendents called and the Stal wart
Republicans are both going to vote together for
Cleveland. By holding out this prospect the mana
gers hope to encourage their followers to do what
they can during the few days that remain. They
now say. From the best information TO be OBJ
tanned it is probable that the Republican vote in
this State for Cleveland will run up to at least
30 900 or 60 O00.' Under the circumstances, this
is A moderate claim. There is no reason under the
sun why the Democrats should not have claimed
300 900 or 300 600 votes as well. Claiming hurts
nobody, aud costs nothing.
Precisely Mr. Theodore Roosevelt, according to
the Democratic and Dependent organs has now be-
come "A bunco steerer" and " lnsncere and " im-
pudentr and "a confidence OPERATOR" and :" in
capable" and stupid aud careless" and " dis
honest to be continued in next.
General Buffers point blank denial of charges
made against him by one Parsons of Maryland, was
hardly necessary. Parsons, 1t seems, was born in
Massachusetts afterward resided in Texas also
served IN the Confederate army. and has been mis-
cellaneonsy connected with parties and States
wherever he could get chance. The Cleveland
people have made it convenient for him TO attack
Butler; that Il all. The matter Is important only
because it proves that the Democrats are i'll very
anxious state of mind because so many OF the II
voters are inclined 10 vote for Batter.
