WASHINGTON CITY, Nov. 26.-The bronze
doors at the mann entrance to the capitol
were designed by Rogers, and the panels rep
resent sceIes iii the lie of Columbus and the
discovery OF America. Tie bronze doors
to the senate wing were designed by Craw-
ford, and the panels represent scenes in
the revolutionary war and III our country's
early history. Now it is a curious fact,
learned from a leading dealer in Washington

ON THE STUMP.

Governor Cleveland has taken the stump.
And why not? Mr.. Blaine broke over an
old custom, and rightly so; it is entirely a
proper departure. The old idea was that q
candidate for the Presidency must, in view
of the dignity of his position, remain mute
and reserved. Under that cUstom the tongue
of calumny was given free rein, and the
chief figure concerned could not open his
mouth to refute charges made, nor could
he announce his views regarding the policy
of his party. The people have right to
see and hear the men who aspire to high
office. Candidacy is candidacy and solicit
tation for support, however exalted the
office for which the man stands. Repub-
Icans can well be pleased at the appear
ancc of Governor Cleveland upon the
stump. The contrast between the man
Cleveland-who speaks only in generalities,
meaningless and timc-worn, who has moth
ing to say concerning the isSues OF the
campaign, who is a purist So fair that he
does not know vice when it paints a wan
ton cheeli-and the man Blaine. who
speaks in unmistakable tones his beliefs
hopes and doctrines, and faces all men with
4 courageous front fearless of scandal and
defiant of enemies, is 4 contrast Republic
cans need not fear On the one hand an

mere opposition against an aggressive char
acter; big steer against a nan.
