That letter of October -, 1871, traps The
enemies of MIR Blaine into new and parllcu-
lnrly foolish lie. The original they mo-"

to disgrace himself With this additional lie.
Yet there is not u man or boy In the United

MIR. CLETEL4NIIs KNoW-NoTHIYG RECORD

MR. CLETELANL1S KNOU-NOTHING RECORD
The attempt to connect Mr. Blaine with the
Know Nothing party has proved a dismal fail
ure. 1t was one of the sillicst Of the countless
campaign lies that have been aimed at him.
Thousands of Irishmen in Maine proved by
their hearty support of the Republican ticket
on Monday that they knew it to be a piece of
gratuitous mcndacity, and shall probably
hear little more of it during the Test of the
canvass.
And now, suppose Mr.. Cleveland's friends
turn their attention to his Know-Nothing rec
ord. For, unlike Mr.. Blaine, the Democratic
Presidential candidate has a record Of that sort.
In 1860 he voted, among others, for the follow
Ing Presidential Electors;
j. Depeyster Ogden, of New-York-a Know
Nothing.
William Kent of Dutchess-a Nnow-NothIng
James Kidd, Of Albany-a Nothing.
Henry II. Ross, of EsseX-a Know Nothing
John Munn of Oncida-a Know Nothing.
James NJ PulVcr. of OntarO-a knOw-NOthing
Miles II. Finch. of Iompklns-a kuow-Nothmg.
Charles H. Carroll, of Steuneh-a Know Nothing
Lorenzo Burrows. of Orleans a Know Nothing
These ten Know Nothings for whom Grover
Cleveland voted for Presidential Electors re-
ccivcd their credentials from the Know Moth
ing State Convention which met in Utica in
July, 1860. The fact that they were the ac-
credited representatives OF the party that
found its mission in waging war against the
Irish and German voters and all other foreign
born citizens did not prevent him from support
Ing them for a high Office. And yet the Demo-
cratic managers have the supreme folly to III
troduce the Know Nothing issue into the pres
cnt contest
1t would be interesting TO hear from Carl
Schuz on this Know-Nothing feature of his
candidates record For Mr.. Schurz took
special pains in 1850 TO warn the Germans

In another column we give curious instance
of the misunderstanding into which or Com
missioner of Public Works stumblcs. The
trustees of the Brooklyn Bridge applied to Mr.
Thompson for permit to take up the pavement
in 'fryOn Row and Ccntrr-st Tor the extension
of the Bridge as authorized by the Legislature.
Mr. Thompson says that hc understood that the
application was merely for temporary dis
placement of the pavement in order to
make some repairs in connection with
the Bridge. When he discovered that
the trustees purpOscd extending the Bridge
and obtained the permit with that end in view,
he revoked the permit. The citizen Of Brook
lyn or New York who is impatient for the inn
provement of the transportation facilities be-
tween the two great towns will think this eX-
PLANTATION by the Commissioner as unsatisfactory
as was his attempt to meet the exposures OF
wastcfulness, corruption. fraud and general
maladministration in his department.
Mr.. Thompson is Mr. Cleyelands nearest
political friend and ally. He secured MIR.
Clcveands nomination. If Mr. Cleveland
could by any possibility be elected President
his voice and his influence would be second TO
the voice and the influence of no other man in
the National Government. DO the voters OF
New-York and Brooklyn and the people of The
United States generally desire to elevate Mr..
Thompson to the position of confidential guide
and councillor to a National Administration

The last report of an outbreak of cat
tle disease comes from New-Jersey. 1t is
in the usual STYLE and says that the
hog cholera is raging through all the
southern counties and spreading rapidly
Now this would be alarming if there was reason
to believe that the story was calm statement
of fact; but happily it reads precisely like
other reports which have been spread through
the country of late, and which have tune ed ON
to be false A stop ought to be put to all
exaggerations of this kind. They do this
country incalculable harm abroad.
