How Cleveland Looks and Talks,

Secretary Geo. A. Post, of the Dem
ocratic Congressional Campaign Com
mittee, has returned to Washington and
is in charge of the headquarters. While
in Albany several days ago Mr.. Post
visited Governor Cleveland and had a
long talk with him. ale is capital
fellow to talk with said Mr.. Post,
speaking of Cleveland. "He is plain,
unassuming and frank. There are no
gilt.edge frills about him. He receives
you with pleasant manner that makes
you feel easy, but there is sufficient
dignity in his bearing to deprive it of
any air of familiarity. lie is an agree
able conversationalist, and is much
better looking man than his pictures
represent. He is tleshy, but not obese.
In fact, for man of his large frame he
has not too much. He has, too, fine,
expressive eye" = Washington Star.

Ex-Gov. Hendricks Letter.

The following is a copy of Ex-G Gov.
ernor Hendricks letter of acceptance
of the Democratic nomination Tor the
Vice Presidency;
GENTLEsiEN: | have the honor to
acknowledge the receipt OF your CON-
munication notifying me of my nomi-
nation by the Democratic Convention
at Chicago, as a candidate for the of
flee of Vice President of the United
States. May | repeat what / have
said on another occasion that it is a
nomination which | had neither ex-
pected nor desired, and yet / recog-
nize and appreciate the high honor
done me by the convention. The
choice of such a body, pronounced
with such unusual unanimity, and ac-
companied with so generous an ex,
preston of esteem and confidence,
ought to outweigh all merely personal
desires and preferences of my own, 1t
is with this feeling, and trust also
from a deep sense of public duty, that
/ now accept the nomination and shall
abide the judgment of my countrymen.
/ have examined with care the decla-
ration of principles adopted by the
convention, copy of which you sub
mitted to me, and in their sum and
substance / heartily endorse and ap-
prove the same.

A Olouded Sun.

When Cleveland was candidate for
Governor in 1882, the New York Sun
thus warmly referred to him in an ed
itorial: "Grover Cleveland, now mayor
of Buffalo and the Democratic candi-
date for Governor of New York, is a
man worthy of the highest public con-
fidence. No one can study the record
of his career since he has held Office in
Buffalo without being convinced that
he possesses those highest qualities of
a public man, sound principles of ad-
ministrative duty, luminous intelli-
gcnce and courage to do what is right
no matter who may be pleased or dis.
pleased thereby" Was the SIN OBJ
scured then, or is it hidden behind
dark clouds now?

Oleyeland's Honesty vouched For.

1t is somewhat remarkable fact
that the Utica Heroids account of
Mr. Tilden's public services as Cover
nor of New York requires little change
in order to describe very accurately
Grover Cleveland's career as Mayor of
Buffalo. Plenty of Republicans in
Buffalo who know Mr. Cloveland's ca
reer will vote for him for Governor.
Any Republican outside of Buffalo can
do the same thing, with perfect conf
dencc that he will administer the great
trusts of the office with unflinching
courage, answering integrity and un-
faltering vigilance Ne,o York IS,tn,

The Man to Choose.

Rev. Edward Eggleston, who is
known at every fireside by his works,
writes to the National Democratic
Committee;
"No reasonable man, not blinded by
partisan zeal, can doubt, ii seems to
me, that Gov. Cleveland is the man
most likely to administer the govern
ment in such way as to leave it bet
ter and not worse than it is now. To
elect Blaine is to throw away about
all that the best citizens have striyen
to gain for ten years or more. To put
the administration of a reformed civil
service into the hands of the Republi-
can nominees is TO set an experienced
fox to watch poultry yard. Colum-

War commenced between France
and China on Friday of last week Au-
gust 22. The French were the first to
open fire, and killed great number of
the Chinese, besides sinking several of
their vessels. The French only lost
five men in the engagement. 1t is thought
the war will soon terminate as the
French army is so much better drilled
that they will soon bring their enemy

Invitation.

Friends, and enemies too,
if we have them, passing
through Philadelphia, are
invited to make a con-
venience of the Big Store.
1t is between the Broad
street station of the Penn
sylvania r. r. and every
where else, and is on the
way from almost every
station.
1t would be old news to
tell you what the store is
here for. Well skip that.
For our present purpose it
is here to be walked through,
looked at, get rested in, and
to hold your baggage while
you run about town. AS
you enter the door, any door
almost, you see a place to
leave your bag. Leave a
dozen parcels there, if you
like; no charge. Go all over
the store, up stairs and down;
ask for a guide, if you need
one; go alone, if you like
that better. After you have
walked a few miles and
climbed a pyramid or two,
it may be lunch-time. In the
basement is a place to get a
bite; and that's the only part
Of the entertainment you pay
for. We'd like to have that
free, too, if we could. We
fear the wrong people would
come
In a sense we do not pay
much attention to visitors.
We do not invite them in SO
often as we would, if the
newspapers didn't make us
pay for every hospitable
word. When they come,
one or ten-thousand at a
time, we simply let them
alone, unless they ask for
help. We have our hands
full any way; besides, we
don't want people to think
that we ask them here to
draw them into buying things.
What we really do want
is that everybody every
where should have a pretty
accurate notion Of what is
going on here; and that's
the whole of it.

From the New York sun, June &c. 1873.
The life and career of Ben Butler
fitly illustrate Banton's maxim, "Au-
dacity, more audacity-always audaci-
ty." Whatever of fcticious conse-
quences he has or of unquestionable
success he may have attained can be
traced to that one governing rule of
his conduct. Without it he would be
lost in the crowd of trading dema-
gogues and knaves to which he worth.
lily belong. With it he has become a
power in the party which, while affect
ing to despise his vulgar practices, yet
abjectly accepts his leadership and
humbly bows before his power. Hated
by some, contemned by many and dis
trusted by all, this bad man, with his
crooked ways, foul methods, distorted
mind and wicked heart, glories in these
moral deformitics, faunts them con
stantly before the public eye and traf-
fics in them as political merchandise.
The notoriety which decency shrinks
from as degradation he seeks at any
sacrifice. He treats the reproach which
follows such exhibitions as so much
capital added to the stock of i'll fame
that had already made his name odious-
ly conspicuous in and out of Congress.
Rejoicing in his own shame and coin
ing money from open venality, discard
ing any pretense of principle, bound
by no ties of honor, scoffing at religion,
making politics trade, despotic when
clothed with authority, cowardly by
nature, mercenary from habit and des-
titute of one ennobling quality for
manly attributes to lift him up above
these wretched characteristics, he is to-
day the leading candidate for the high
est honor in the enlightened and moral
Massachusetts. To this complexion we
| have come at last

Danas Opinion Of Butler in Past Years

Prom the New York sun, May ieth, 1878.
1t is not generally supposed that
Ben Butler is a humbug. According
to the popular belief he is distinguish
ed for brutal frankness and cynical
display of rascally qualities, rather
than pretending to virtues which he
does not possess. Nevertheless we will
convict him of such false pretences Ev-
erybody knows that he was one of the
principal agents employed by Gen.
Grant to put through the extra pay
swindle. Ills responsibility for the per-
formance he has admitted, and he pro-
poses to refund to those who demand
it the share of every individual citizen
in the money thus taken from the treas
ury. This share Butler estimates at
three cents EACH To one gentleman
who complained to him he has remit
ted the amount in postage stamp,
and promises to restore the same sum
to everybody who asks for it. In this
Butler is guilty not only of humbug
but extraordinary meanness. The ag-
gregate OF the extra-pay robbery is
$18,OOO,OOO taken out of the treasury,
because it imposes on the people of the
United States the necessity of paying
every year, over and above tn ir pre-
vious expenditures, a sum equivalent to
the interest on that amount. Now,
taking 36,O00,0OO of souls as the popu-
lations of the country, it is plain that
instead of three cents apiece Butler
and his confederates, by their extra
pay swindle, plunder half dollar from
every person, black and white, old and
young, wise and foolish, rich and poor,
big and little. This is exactly what
Butler ought to restore, ard when he
pretends to make any sufferer good by
sending him three cent postage
stamp he is humbug. Half a dollar
is the least that will indemnify each
person for loss by this raid upon the
treasury under the inspiration of Grant
and through the active management of
Butler.

WITHIN the sst week three promi-
nent Americans have died from the
effects of too rapid living. A New
York millionaire, found dead in hotel,
had in his pocket a note to his family
explaining that he had taken his life
because he could not sleep, A Mas
saehusetts millionaire, stricken with
apoplexy, expired on the public street.
A Milwaukee railroad superintendent,
overtaken by paralysis in remote city,
survived only until he could be carried
to his home.
Facts made known by friends oftkese
men show that they daily violated the
rules Of health in their eagerness to &C
quire wealth, and that their physical
collapse was due simply to the unwar-
rauted drafts which they made on their
vitality. The conditions were not the
same in each case, but the results wers,
One devoted so much Of his time day
and night to scnemipg and planning and
toiling that be finally lost the ability to
sleep, and, driven to the verge oflunacy,
ended his life suicide. Another, by
luxurious living, late hours, irregular
habits and business perplexities, so IN
dermined his health as to shorten his
wears by third. The other, harassed
10y Improbable outside speculations
and burdened with the responsibilities
OF an important position, sank under the
self.imposed weight while yet in what
should have been the prime of his life.

CRoP reports are favorable enough to
warrant reasonable expectations. TIE
crop prognosticatOrs hold that May as
well as April should be windy and
somewhat cold il the arms are to be well
filed in autumn, although farmers who
have been unable to p!ow their ground
for corn, begin to reflect dolefully upon
the early frOsts which shriveled their
corn last September. In Texas corn
is already planted. and if the weather is
warm enough TO permit the seed to be
buried in the soil of the northermost
states before the last week in May the
outlook ought not then to be unfavor-
able for that great crop, and others re-
curing similar climatic conditions.
Winter wheat is generally reported to
be good, and there is no especial reason
to fear a poor harvest 0: that or any
other ofthe cereals. The latest intelli-
gence rs TO fruit is also favorable.
Peaches and the small fruits are ex-
pected to be unusually abundant, and
the failure of the apple crop for three
successive years accounts for the pre-
vailing confidence that apples will be
excellent both in quality aud quantity
this year. y suspicion that a rainy
winter is to be followed by severe
drought in summer causes some appre-
hension to many persons, but the
promise of the crops is certainly very
encOura2iEg at present.
