1t is tTi1e difficult to think OF Ben
Butler as an Anti-monopolist with an
income OF 100000 year.
The st. Louls Republican likens Franz
James to John Bsowu. 1t will next be
comparing Missouri TO Kansas.
Butler says he will withdraw If the
Democrats will withdraw Cleveland and
nominate Thurman.
1t has been whispered that Click and
Holiday will support 81 John, but we
don't believe a word of 1t.
They now cay that TiIdrn did moi
write Cleveland's letter. "This Is the
most unkindest cut OF ALL"
If We prefer vice to virtue let us honor
those who bear the characters of moral
lepers and vote for Cleveland
The Boston girl 10 not considered en-.
tirely accomplished until she can sneeze
without shedding her eyeglasses.
Baltimore Herald: MF. Cleveland
might have added spice to his letter by
giving an inside view ofthe Halpin
scandal.
There are two respectabIe-sized planks
IN the platform of st. John and Daniels
one Tor each of them, blindfoIded, 10
walk of into the sea.
Since the destruction of the Taila-

the Democracy, Sam. Wood still persists
in his fell intention of stumping Ohio
for Cleveland.
Bill English, of Indiana, has subscrIb-
ed 81 so to the national Democratic cam
paign fund. And yet it is denied that
the Cleveland managers contemplate
making an aggressive canvass
We are informed that Private DaIzeIl
recently declined to compose poem for
Murat Halstead's New York Extra. He

m arked that he had some pride left.
Bloomington Ull) Leader: Grover
Cleveland remarked in his letter of &C
ceptance that "the Office of the presi-
dcncy is essentially executive in its ma
ture." Funny no one ever thought of
that before.
The Topeka Commonwealth notes a
very striking resemblance between Cap
tain ROwley, of the Kansas City Journal,
and Grover Cleveland. The nature OF
Father Bakers grievance against Mr..

Boston Globe: There is nearly $780,
100000 IN silver coin In the government
vaults at WashingtoB, confidentially
whispers the editor of the Philadelphia
Press. Well, what of 1t, man? We can't
either OF US get In.
Chicago Inter Ocean: A Wisconsin
man has written poultry book of 1900
pages. Hemade mistake in not telling
how to keep alive the Democratic rooster
which is just now skulkIng out into the
way places.
A careful observer will notice in the
last portrait sent out of Grover CIeYe-
land that one particular spot upon his
head is bald. We have no doubt now
that his associations IN his early life
with Widow Halrpin produced a bad
result
