"'r!E Cleveland scandal" says Mr..
Hendricks, 'will not have weight with the
people, and ought not to have weight. 1t

This is Il bold declaration. The National

do not ovcrshadow the question OF the
character OF a nominee for the Presidency.
II Governor Cleveland were Il statesman,
and that OF the first order, it would still

Of their intelligence, and what I then saw
was really corroborative, in part, oLhis story.
Tho birds were collected On the peaked roof OF
the m~arkct-house, and they did not seem to
be in any hurry TO come down to the street
to gather the scraps OF meat which the
butchers had rejected. 1 asked him why
they did not-were they afraid "He hasn't
come yet, SURF @Whof' aWhy, the in
spector, sur. Them buzzards don't dare
touch nothin' till he inspects," and presently
he spoke up, Here he comes" and / looked
up the street, marveling much what kind of
a yarn 1 was getting. for what had n market
inspector to do with a lot of carrion birdsI
Ny confidence was fast vanishing Not

I saw in the direction indicated was a few
