INTO Mr. Secretary Mcpherson OF tho Repub-
lican Committee, and will demonstrate by
facts and figures tina, the little joke Of leav-
ing of the noughts from the right hand side
of number. on the ground that they count
as nothing, is carrying the joke too far, and
that tbs $4,000, 600 steals under the present
administration shall not longer be made to
appear rs $1,000.
Although Mr.. Blaine has been swinging
around the circle in New York and having a
pretty fair attendance at his show, the re-
ports from the managers of the campaign in
that State Is to the effect that all goes well
and that Cleveland and Hendricks will carry
the State in November by fully as large ma
jority as It was carried by Tilden in 1876.
Democrats here are rather pleased to see
Mr. Blaine take the road TO exhibit himself.
They say II Is sign of weakness and no
presidential candidate ever attempted itwiih-
out defeat. Way back in the fifties, General
Scott the old Wing candidate tried It, and
was defeated by the comparatively unknown
General Pierce. Andy johnson tried it to
secure denomination and was laid quietly
unen the shelf The late lamented Horace
Greeley tried the same role and came home
defeated and heartbroken, and so II has been
with all who have tired II. The American
people want more In their President than
travelling show or man on exhibition, and
quiet dignity an! modest work counts more
than pyrotechnics and, wind.
IthAs been attempted by some Of the man
ayers Of the Republican campaign to put in
circulation report that the Golden Club has
contributed large sum OF money to aid the
Democrats In the present canvass. The re-
port Is without the least foundation. The
Golden Club, as perhaps is not generally
known, Is an English organization for social
and political purposes. 1t includes among Its
membership, in addition to large number of
wealthy English noblemen and gentlemen,
many prominent Frenchmeu and Americans.
OF the aforementioned class II has been sscer-
tanned that AZ msny are Republicans as DEM
ocrats. The chief object Of the Golden Club
in the political line Is the dissemination Of
free-trade doctrine throughout the world.
Several years ago, unconnected with any po-
litical organization in this country, 1t sent
missionaries and money to the United States
TO advance the free trade idea, but since then
1t is believed that it has done nothing what
ever in America to build up Its political cause.
The monster Democratic demonstration in
Cleveland, Ohio. yesterday and last night,
full accounts Of which are published in this
WORKINGS papers, has struck mortal terror to
tiAe souls Of the Blaine followers here. In
their 4nvase IN the State they found the tide
set agairst them, and, too, without any APP
parent effort on the part Of the Democrats.
10 account for this condition OF affairs and
to arouse their adherents, they have been loud.
" declaring that the Democrats were on a
''still hunt" in the Buckeye State Yesier-
days meeting at Columbus, however, contra-
diets this assertion, but how to explain IL is
thing that puzzles the Republican folk. The
party monsy-collectors have concluded 10
make use Of IL by way Of frightening depart |
ment clerks into giving money to carry on |
the campaign. The clerks are told that the |
only thing the Republican Committee needs
10 sin is money, and unless they get il they,
he clerks, win be "out Of meat" on the 4th
