THE POLITICAL MAUD.

Ben Butler, on summers day,
Stood in convention making hay;
The hay was sweet and the hay was dry,
But 1t wasn't as cooked as old Ben's eye,
For old Ben saw on gelding gay,
Judge Nomination ride that way. I
When the Judge saw Ben in the hay at WORK,
He stopped his horse with sudden jerk,
And he rolled his eye on the winsome face
And the buxom form and the airy grace
And the wealth of cheek and the mesh OF hair
OF sweet Ben Butler a-working there.
"oh." sighed the Judge, "that the fate were
mine
To wed with o creature SO divine!
With Ben for q mate my life would seem
Like a poets song or an artists dream;
But when they heard of my marital pick
How like steer my folks would kick"
So, fearful OF what his folks might say,
Judge Nomination rode away,
And left Ben Butler standing there
With her wealth of cheek and her mesh of hair
And of all sad words of tongue and pen
The saddest are these-"He wouldn't have
Ben"

LIGHT.
The first house that is seen in the little
village of Caldwell, approaching from
Montclair, is situated on the left hand side
of the road. For years the old fashioned
house, with it's quaint gable ends and IVY
covered porch, has only attracted the at
tention Of the villagers as the parsonage OF
the First Presbyterian church, but lately 1t
has become of more interest 1t is the
birthplace of the Democratic candidate Tor
President Stephen Grover Cleveland. Rev.
C. T. Berry, the pastor of the Presbyterian
church, lives in the old parsonage, and
thither the reporter went. The house sets
back from the road about hundred feet
and two noble ash trees stand like sentinels
before it. The grounds, which contain
about two acres, are well kept and the
whole place has an air of neatness and re-
spectability. The house itself is a story
and a half, with front porch and low
windows. The front door opens into a
spacious hall and rooms on each side OF IL
are cosy and comfortable. The ceilings are
low. The doors are very wide and the
whole place savors of antiquity.
II suppose | shall have numerous callers
| now," said Mr.. Berry, as he offered the re-
porter a chair. ssThis is the house in which
Governor Cleveland was born 1t was first
occupied by Stephen Grover, a former pas
tor of the church. In 1874 Mr.. Grover re-
sigEed the pastorate and Richard F: Cleve-
land was called on May 18th of the same
year. Mr.. Clevelend had many children,
one of whom, William n, became minis.
ter and went to Long Island. In the old
church baptismal record we find the record
of the birth and baptizing of the Demo
cratic nominee" and Mr.. Berry pointed te
an entry which reads as follows: ''Stepher
Grover Cleveland, baptized July list, 1887
born March 18th, 1887"
''During his six years pastorate, sale

That FIVE CENT VETo.-A good deal of
apprehension has existed touching the effect
OF Gov. Cleveland veto of the bill reduc-
ing fare Oh the elevated railroads in New
Y ork city to five cents; some people fearing
that it would affect the vote of the laborinS
people of New York. But the fact is that
the fare on these roads is only cents in the
morning and evening when laborers 90 to
and from their work, and 10 cents during
the day when the ordinary public rides K
general cent fare law, therefore, would
not benefit the laboring classes who already
ride for . cents, but it would benefit the
Wealthier classes who do not ride when the
laboring men do. This explanation relieves
the situation very materially; showing that
there is nothing in the point made by John
Kelley against the Governor in this regard.

{. We think that the nomination of Mr..
Cleveland, whose record as public man is
pure and unsullied, will draw to his sup
port every voter who desires to restore the
administration of our public affairs to the
highest standard of efficiency and integrity
During his whole public career no faint
or suspicion Of corruption has been at
tached to his name. The great champion
and exponent of reform, Samuel J. Tilden,
gives him hearty endorsation, and the
ticket Is virtually the old Reform s6aa Ticket
which swept the country in 1876. Cleve-
land, Hendricks and Reform, will be the
battle cry of the canvas, and while the
supporters of Blaine may seek to raise
other issues and divert attention from the
besmirched record of their chleftain, the
attempt will be vain one. The people de-
mand reform, the admitted inability of the
Republican party to carry out the reforma-
ton demanded will be fatal to their ticket.

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN PAPER SPEAKS.
In the nomination of Gov. Cleveland the
Democratic party has undoubtedly made
choice Of its most available man. And we
use the word available in it's correct sense
and not as term of derogation. We be-
lleve Cleveland will attract more votes than
any other man who was at all likely to
come before the convention at any time in
its deliberations. He enjoys the confidence
OF the thinking men of the country in an
unusual degree; he is regarded as pru-
dent executive by the business classes: he
has shown in an abundant measure his ap-
probation of and adherence to the doctrine
that public office is public trust to be
administered for the people, and not to be
used for personal advantage; he is admit
