The surest teacher is the heart, not the
head / would rather take the verdict
of the plain, honest farmers and work

of Indiana during the war to prevents Hen
bricks, the Sons of Liberty, the Knights of the
Golden Circle and tho other rebel elements in
that State from carrying it over to the side of
the South A vote for Cleveland and Hendricks
now is a vote approving of rebel sympathy at
the North while the South was in arms against
the Union.
1t is a matter of actual demonstration, by
figures which do not admit of an erroneous in
ference, that the affairs of the Government have
never been so honestly administered as they
have been since the Republican party has been
IN power. The losses through errors, misman-
agement and dishonesty have under Republi-
can rule been q smaller percentage of the sums
OF money involved in governmental transac-
tons than during any previous period In his
tory, and they have been in a constantly de-
creasing ratio since the first Republican Presi-
dent was elected
James Redpath, in an interview in the New
YORK Tribune, does not hesitate to pronounce
the detection of the Irish from Cleveland I'M
paralleled in the history of the Irish in Amer
lea. He analyses the causes of disaffection, and
proves that the movement il not local demon
stration against Gov. Cleveland, but general
protest against the nomination of candidate
who Is personally obnoxious to the working
classes.
The Boston COngregationalist, the leading
paper of its denomination in New England, if
not in the whole country says:
Comman decency, the morals of the young, re-
gard for the secredness of home life, and the
very maintenance of our national existence re-
qulre that the president of these United States
our foremost representative official before
the world-should be man of pure private
morals as well as of public integrity. If these
charges be untrue it ought to be easy TO show
the fact They are definite and personally in
dorsed II they be not dispToved, then the in
dignant public sentiment of the nation should
be given voice, and the party which nominated
Gov. Cleveland should demand that he with
draw from the ticket which his name now
leads.
New York Special: Ex-senator Henderson
of Missouri came down from the Adirondacks

s.Do YOU think the republicans will carry
New York;" he was asked by your correspond
ent
Il have not much doubt of it in the present
aspect of affairs. / have been about the state
generally and l think it as safe Maine or
Pennsylvania. Speaking of the situation, when
the summer is over and the fall frosts set in
and men begin to think soberly, they find the
man with the principles, with the knowledge
of affairs, Is after all the man to be elected
They saw Garfield was such man, and they
are beginning to see Blaine is, and you will see
when the frosts come again that Blaine will be
elected by magnificent majority.
According to a Madison correspondent,
everything looks most cheerful in the Repub-
hcan camp in Wisconsin, so far as the presi-
DENTAL ticket Is concerned
Republicans upon every hand, from
every section Of the state, express the most
unbounded confidence in the surety of Wis
consin doing fully as handsomely by Blaine
the coming fall as was done toward the lament
ed Garfield four years ago. The latest reports
received here are more hopeful for the Iiepub-
Iicans even than those which came in immedi-
ately after tho nomination of Blaine. Hope
fulness has Crystalized into certainty, and
that certainty is having the effect of inducing
honest democrats to more freely express their
true convictions in regard to the outcome.
Corporal Tanner of Brooklyn says: have
Just returned from trip of 4 600 miles in the
West attending the Grand Army eneampment,
and from my close observation l sum mp the
political situation in the statement that the
feeling in favor Of Blaine and Logan is simply
phenomenal There never was much en-
fhusiasm early in the canvass for president
Senator Morrill, of Vermont. who accom-
panied Mr. Blaine to Europe in 1867, says that
on that trip Mr. Blaine told him how the bulk
of his fortune was made He had purchased a
track of coal lands in West Virginia for s40,-
0O0 paving a part of that sum down, and the
balance soon after from the profits of the mines.
These mines Mr.. Blaine said, were then paying
him annually an amount equal to the interest
on $4,000: and they have increased in value
since

We are well aware that considerable class
OF pOAtbttdiRe tllAuh that tiueS t4ut MtahNu "a
candidate for the presidency to be known as a
gross and liceutious man; but Mr. Cleveland
occupies position very different from that of
ordinary candidates He is running ON the
supposed purity and elevation of his personal
character. and what might be of comparatively
little effect when alleged by influential Christ
ian journals, against an irreligious man of the
world, is probably fatal when alleged against
him And in this case II must be remembered
the main facts admitted and fully estab-
lished The final truth Is that the only chance
of democratic success in the present campaign
lies in the course indicated by the Independ-
emit The withdrawal of Cleveland and the sub
democratic ticket would make sure a victory
that otherwise is hopelessly thrown away
New York sun.
The St Mary's Institute Journal, Roman
Catholic paper published in Amsterdam y. Y,
calls for the withdrawal of Cleveland's name
and the substitution of that of some statesman
s.with clean heart and clean hands, and
adds:
No man with Cleveland's bad record in pri-
yate life can hope for election at the hands of
the American people. The religious and NOR
