The Republican bolt promises to as
sumo much larger proportions than was
at first thought probable. The Republi-
can leaders who, at the outset, were dis
posed to treat it lightly, and who declared
that il would only include few soreheadss
are showing signs Of alarm. There is no
doubt that the conference Of the boilers,
which is to take place next week in New
York, will be a formidable gathering.
Since the call for the conference was
issued communications have been received
in large numbers. not only from promi-
nent local Republicans in the doubtful
States, but also from Republicansof infiu-
ence in the strong Republican States. 1t is
noticeable that the leaders of the bolt are
not content with simply announcing their
purpose to refuse to support the Republi-
can ticket. They are working earnestly
to effect organizations in the different
States Of those who are disposed to join
the boiling movement. They are as
anxious to increase their strength as if
they were supporting a fayorite candidate
of their own party. OF course, no estl-
mate can be made yet Of the voting
strength of the boilers, but it is certain to
be much greater than the Republican
leaders have any idea Of. The truth is
that the dissatisfaction with the
Republican ticket has only begun
to be developed. AS the campaign
progresses it will show itself in the
formation of campaign clubs and in politi-
cal meetings in all the Northern States.
These boiling Republicans do not propose
to join the Democratic party. They SIM
ply mean to rebuke their own party for
making nominations that were not tit to be
made. They see the necessity for reform
in the administration of the government,
and they know that reform is not to be ex-
pected with Blaine as President. The
Democratic party was wise enough to
recognize the demand for reform by nomi-
mating candidates whose records give
assurance of reform. The feeling among
the boiling Republicans is some
thing like that which was
shown by Republicans in New York
in 1882, when they helped to give Cleve-
land a majority of $4,000 for Governor
over FOlger, because the national admin
istration forced candidate they did not
want upon them. The boilers should be
/ encouraged in their work, because it is
in the interest of honest government. 1t
| seems probable now that machine politi-
| clans will be taught this lesson, viz, that
while they may select candidates who
are not acceptable to the people, only
candidates who are acceptable can be
| elected.

CIeveIands Name.

The New York Tribune attempts to be
facetious at the expense of Cleveland be-
cause he signs himself Grover Cleveland
instead of Stephen Grover Cleveland.
There is nothing amusing or remarkable
in the fact that Cleveland years ago, when
a very young man, dropped the first part
of his name as practically useless. He
found that the name Grover Cleveland
answered his purpose fully as well as
Stephen Grover Cleveland, and was more
simple and less cumbersome. The
editor of the Tribune, Whitelaw Reid,
appears to have forgotten that
he dropped part Of his name before he
took his departure from Ohio. While he
was a resident Of the Buckeye state he
was known as Jacob W. Reid, but when
he began to climb towards the top in the
Tribune office he commenced to sign him.
self Whitelaw Reid. Even when Mr..
Reid undertook TO make fortune plant
ing cotton in Tensas parish, Louisiana,
he was known as Jacob Reid. 1t may be
that Mr.. Reid dropped the first part OF his
name because he thought the boys might
fall into the habit Of addressing him as
Jake. Such familiarity would not have
been agreeable to a man Of Mr.. Reid's
pride and exclusive manners. The Jake
part Of his name therefore disappeared,
and he poses now before admiring friends
simply as Whitelaw. In view Of Mr..
Reds experience with a name, it is rather
curious that he should insist on restoring
Stephen to Grover Cleyeland's name.
There is another thing in Cleveland's
record that the Tribune editor appears
disposed to refer to with a frequency
that indicates disapproval. 1t is that
when Sheriff, Cleveland executed two
men. That he did his duty is TO his credit.
Probably Mr.. Reid is disturbed by the
thought that Cleveland as President will
be as great a terror to rascals in the ser
vice Of the government as he was to GRIM
inals Of Buffalo when Sheriff.

ANXIOUS FOR BLOOD.
A Duel With FOiIs Between Tw
French CreOles,

A Duel With FOiIs Between Two
French CreOles.
The following is fuller account OF the
duel which was fought at New Orleans
last Tuesday, and which was reported in
our dispatches Wednesday: A duel
was fought with. three-edged sharp-point-
ed foils this morning at daylight, I'M
der the oaks on Metairie Ridge, between
Evariste Poche, brother of Associate JUS
tice Poche, of the Supreme Court, and
Capt. j. +. BrOu, a we'll known steamboat
Captain and a planter, both creoles.
Neither appeared to be familiar with the
weapon used, and both became greatly
excited, so that after the word was given
and a few preliminary thrusts, each
seized the others weapon by the blade
with the left hand, and thus they stood,
painting and staring at each other, each
seeking to wrest the steel from his en-
envy. The seconds inteIfered and sepa-
rated them, again placed them in position
and the word was given. They
measured blades, and then i'm
PEELED by overheated blood, they
rushed at each other and clinched. A
struggle followed, each trying to use his
blade as a dagger upon his opponent.
The seconds interfered and succeeded in
separating them. The fight was about to
be renewed when Poche turned pale and
announced that he was wounded. DIR.
Deroaldes, his surgeon, advanced and ex-
amined him. He found that he had re-
ceived a deep and painful wound in the
calf of the right leg, running downward
and seyering an artery. 1t had been in
fiicted by the blade while they were
clinched together. The wound bled
copiously and disabled Poche from con-
tinuing the fight, which was declare off
for tho tioa hninO The OrOminpneq and
high standing of the parties give much in
terest to the affair. Among the seconds
were Gen. George w. Dupre, Clerk of the
Supreme Court of the State; Louis
Arnauld. Recorder of Conveyances, and
Frank W. Baker, a prominent lawyer. 1t
was all about a woman at the French
fete on Monday last.

SWeptintO the Stream
One Thousand Acres Of Land and
''Right Smart Of Bears"

On the deck of big Mississippi steamboat
stood an aged Southern planter. Indicating
by sweep of his arm the waters the boat was
passing over, he said to a passenger m the
North: "When was II years old M ted my
first bear on a new plantation my father was
then cutting ont of forest that grew directly
over the waters of this bend. That was a
mighty good plantation, and there was right
smart of bears there, too. But that one thou
sand acres of land went into the Mississippi
years ago."
1t is putting no strain upon the figure to say
beauty and manly strength are swept in the
same way every year into the great, turbid
torrent of disease and death. Yet it should
not be so. That it is so is a disgrace as well as
loss. People are largely too careless or too
stupid to defend their own interests-the most
precious of which is health. That gone, all is
gone. Disease is simple, but to recklessness
or ignorance the simplest things might as well
be complex as a proposition in Comic Sections.
As the huge Western rivers, which so often
Hood the cities along their shores, arise in a
few mountain springs, so all our ailments can
be traced TO impure blood and small group
of disOrdered organs.
The most effective and inclusive remedy for
disease Is PARKERS TONIC. 1t goes to
the source of pain and weakness. In re-
spouse to its action, the liver, kidneys, stOm-
ach and heart begin their work afresh, and
disease is driven out. The Tonic is not, how
ever, an lntoXicant, but cures desire for
strong drink. Have you dyspepsia, rheu-
matlsm, or troubles which have refused TO
yield to other agents2 Here is your help.
