The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1884-08-11

Mr.. DANA, of the New York Sun, is
doing injustice to himself and wrong
to his friends by his little, spiteful in
situations in regard to the slanderous
stories circulated by unprincipled men,
regarding private the character Of Mr..
CLEVELAND. Ifhe believes Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND not fitted for the Office, or has done
nothing to deserve such promotion, let
his opposition be upon those grounds.
And if he knows anything derogatory
to Mr.. CLEvELAND's private character,
let him state what it is, but the malevo
lence he displays in resorting to inuen-
does and insinuations is unworthy OF
one who has so long held the honorable
position he has, and which will cause
him sorrow and pain in tho near future,

GEN. BUTLER'S CANDIDACY.

Now that Gen. Butler has determined
to make the presidential race, specula-
ton is rife as to the effect his candidacy
will have upon the fortunes Of the two
leading candidates. viii he draw more
largely from the Blaine than from the
Cleveland vote? The New York SIN,
which has been taking good deal of
interest in Gen. Butler of late, is of the
opinion that he will get good many
votes from both sides, and that the re-
suit of the election is as much in doubt
as it was before he announced his in
tention of remaining in the field.
The SIN has way of balal chg
probabilities that tends to confuse
rather than to cnlighten those who are
seeking to learn something of the cur
rents of opinion which indicate success
or defeat The supporters of MIR. Blaine
can get but little comfort from its com
ments and deductions, and the sup
porters of Mr.. Cleveland must seek
elsewhere for encouragement and con-
ISOLATION. The most diigent and care
full reader will find it difficult to decide
whether Blaine or Cleveland. as viewed
from the standpoint of the San, is the
more unworthy of being elected to the
presidency.
The New York Times, however, has
no doubt as to the object Of Gen. But
ler's candidacy. The Times has a very
poor opinion of Butler, and accus2 IS
him of treachery toward the classes
whose special champion he processes
to be. His zeal III behalf of the work
ingmen is declared to be 4 pretense
and a sham, and he is credited with
having rendered more service to the
monopolists, and having profited more
by such service, than any other man in
the country. There are not many
worn ingmen who will agree with the
Times Oh this point, but the fact that
the leading Cleveland newspaper makes
such an assertion shows that the Cleve-
land managers expect no aid from Gen.
Butler, and that they intend to fight
him from the start.

OUR CONGRESSIONAL CAN
DIDATE.

The Congressional Convention for
this the Second district of Maryland,
met at Waverly, Baltimore county, on
Thursday last and put in nomination
Mr.. Thaddeus c. Blair, of that county.
Mr.. Blair is a native of Hartford county.
For a number of years he has been in
the employ of the Ashland Iron Com
panv. He is a shrewd, careful bust
ness man. He resides in Baltimore
county and is about forty years of age,
a gentleman in every way fully qualified
to represent the people OF the district
in Congress, and would ably fill the
position now occupied by almost 4
wooden man. He gave Mr.. Talbot a
close run in 1882, and if the same can
didate is put up by the Democracy this
fall, we would not be at all surprised if
he were elected.

THE CAMPAIGN WING.

THE WING will earnestly advocate the
election of Blaine and Logan, and by
every legitimate argument en9eavoI to
create sentiment in their favor. 1t will
not confine its appeals to electors to the
narrow grounds upon which partisans
expect to reap individual profit by their
success. but upon the higher and broader
grounds-that the highest interests OF
the country will be bust subserved by
their election.
From this time until November its
columns will contain all political news OF
Importance, and that the people of Cecil
and adjoining counties may have within
their reach a complete and reliable
weekly compendium of political events
as they trauspire, it will be mailed, post
age prepaid, to any address from this
date to the Presidential election, period
OF five months, at the nominal pr.ce of
so cents. Order it at once, and after
reading it hand it to yClr neighbor.

IF the independents are earnest If

not leave the convention when they

Mr.. Curtis, instead of attaching them

whereby they must either be silent as

THE democratic organs are exper-
fencing considerable difficulty in con-
vincing the workingmen that Governor
Cleveland is a stalwart friend of the
industrial classes. The toilers cannot
be made to understand that when the
democratic standard bearer puts his
heel on their necks and presses down.
that he means the demonstration as a
caress. Such thick headed stupidity
on the part OF the workingmcn is very
