THE TARIFF POSITION.

| want you to contemplate the po'
sition of the Democratic party on the
tariff. They are in the condition Of
the steer Just having jumped ovel
the fence-they can neither hook IN
front nor kick behind. Laughter
They are utterly worthless either fol
aggressive or defensive purposes
they cannot claim that they were fol
protection, because the Democratic
party was the author of this re.
markable horizontal scheme; they
cannot claim that they were for the
reform Of the revenue, because Dem
ocratic votes beat the tariff. They
are without fixed political princi-
pies on any question except the idea
that, as the Sun says, The Republi-
cans must 60" They say they re-
quire a change. So do we, and We
are going to have one. When bis
honorable career shall have closed
"a career that has reflected credit
upon himself and upon the Nation
here and throughout the world
when Chester A. Arthur shall have
resigned the position which he has
filled with such distinguished credit
to himself and the Nation, We will
have change, and James G.. Blaine
will resume his place. Cheers We

either in the present aspect of the
political field, or in any which now
seems likely to present itself.

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.

Continued from first Page
THE MOST POPULAR LEADER IN THE
COUNTRY.
Prom The Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.
In thus honoring Blaine the con-
vention has done an act which will
meet the hearty approval of the
great body Of Republicans all over
the country. 1t has made success
certain beyond the possibility of a
doubt, and will infuse a vigor and
spirit into the campaign which will
be irresistible. He is the most pop
ular leader in the country to-day,
and will arouse greater enthusiasm,
inspire higher degree of confidence,
and command larger support in
these States which must be depended
on for Republican Electors than any
other man who could have been
named. Ohio, Connecticut and Cali
fornia have been taken at once out
of the list of doubtful States.
THE ARGUMENT AGAINST BLAINE AN
SwERED.
From the Hartford Courant.
With his great capacities MIR.
Blaine has faults plain to see. We
can never expect man or creed
beyond criticism but responsibility
always steadies a man and party
creed in national affairs is always
subject to the occasion. An aspirant
may indulge in many theories; but
a President of ability, the elect of a
party of great achievements and
splendid history, the executive of
prosperous, peaceable and proud ma
ton, is bound to follow the sound
maxims ofa conservative and steady
policy. The arguments against MIR.
Blaine's candidacy are answered by
the tremendous enthusiasm that has
borne him to his position. We have
not to deal with an unknown man
or an unknown cause.
REvoLUTIoNARY NOMINATIONS.
From The Springfield Republican.
These nominations are revolu-
tionary. They are such as the Re-
publican party has never before pre-
sented and will carry dismay and
alarm to thousands of men who have
regarded this as the party of safety,
of integrity of principle, and of high
moral ends. They portend deserved
disaster and defeat to the Republi-
can party and a revolution IN the
National administration

SPEAKER RANDAnL's BROTHER
He Seeks a Foolish Quarrel with the
Executive Clerk of the Senate.

Executive Clerk of the Senate.
Early last evening, at Broad and Chest
nut streets, says the Philadelphia Press
of Aug. 81, a man with a heavy gray
moustache, and bearing the appearance
OF a well-to-do gentleman, made an en-
tirely unprovOked assault on James R.
Young, Executive Clerk Of the United
States Senate. Friends interfered, and
the incident was passed by as the freak
of mild-mannered maniac. Mr.. Young
fastened, with several companions. to
catch the 8 O'Clock train for New York.
His friends left him on the pavement, and
he mounted the broad stone
staircase of the railroad sta
ton alone. While purchasing papers
at the news stand Mr.. Young was sud
denly struck from behind. and, before he
could turn about, he received several
heavy blows dealt by cane or umbrella.
When he faced his antagonist, and after
he had knocked him down, he recognized
in his now PROSTATE foe his enemy with
the gray moustache who was now calling
aloud, "This is for abusing my brother
SAM" Bystanders, who were indignant
at the cowardly nature of the assault, in
sisted on the mans arrest. He was taken
to the Twentieth District station house.
Filbert street, above Fifteenth, where he
gave his name as Henry Randall and his
residence as 305 Chelton avenue, Ger
mantown. He was locked up In a cell to
await hearing at O'Clock this morning.
Mr.. Young is the Washington CORE
spondent of the ErepiRg Star, writing
over the well known initials, as. NJ. Mr..
Randall is the ex-Speaker's brother, and
for several years, it appears, he has been
Iaborlng under an hallCcination that Mr..
Young has been disposed to harshly criti-
else the distinguished Congressman from
the Third district.

COL. oDoM,s GREATPowER.
He Says He Can Talk Temperance in
His Sleep-His Talk While Awake.

Baltimore american.
II can talk half an hour on temperance
at any time," said Col. OdOm yesterday
at Druid Hill Park gate, seven when I'm
asleep" and ran his hand through his
hair and assumed an attitude which
looked as if he had half mind to do so.
He thought a moment, and read tele-
gram saying that Prof. VIM. Evans, who
had been advertised to speak, was too
sick to come. The Colonel then said he
would eXpend a little breath on
Cleveland's letter. HE is with the
liquor men, my friends, though he
does not come out plainly and say so,
All his talk about sumptuary laws
and not interfering with the peoples
rights means that. 1t may deceive some
people, but don't want you to be carried
away by it. The truth is, they are all
ashamed of the liquor question. They
are afraid of it. l knew a boy once who
loved a girl, but was afraid to tell her so.
He sat opposite to her one day at table,
and loved her so unspeakably bard that
he put his foot on hers and pressed it
tenderly. john said she, 'If you love me,
say so, but 1 don't want my white stock
ings soiled.' Now, l like plain state
ment in that fashion, Let these men come
out and define their position, so that we
may know where they stand. l don't
want any clap-trap measures to catch
votes -

The Poisoned italian Oysters.
Naples Correspondence


Two or three nights ago the municipal
doctor was sent for in all haste to visit a
lady taken dangerously i'll; it proved,
however, that she was suffering from in
digestion only, which had been intensified
by her winding up her meal with guam
tity of oysters, about which esculents
must give a few words of caution to all
travellers. We who reside here are fully
aware of the dangerous. poisonous nature
of the oysters sold in the streets and taken
to the hotels. Not a season passes with
out many persons being seriously attacked
by illness after eating them, so that by
numbers they are tabOoed. Ii the oysters
could be guaranteed as having been
brought from FusarO, all well; but Ma
pies Is supplied principally from de-
pOsit made outside Santa Lucia, where
they feed on the sewage of the city, which
flows in there in abundance. The same
caution may be given to travellers to
Rome, where the sO-called Fusaro oysters
are sold every season, entailing painful
maladies, according to the opinion of
medical men.
