PURE1.Y a pEnIoCRATIC FUNERAL

In reply to the statement of the st.
Louis Post Dispatch, which says that
Blaine papers are teeming with shock
ing stories about alleged women sCrapes
in the private life of Grover Cleveland
long years ago." the New York Tribune
says:
This falsehood may as well be stopped.
The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette states
the simple truth in saying that the seri-
GUS accusations against Governor Cleve-
land were first made public by the Dem
ocrats themselves. The first information
New Workers derived on the sub
ject was from the columns of
that sterling Democratic paper, the
Rochester Union, then edited by the
Hon. William Purcell, at that very mo-
ment on the Democratic electoral ticket
of this State. The attention of the whole
country was first directed to them by the
discussion of Democrats at the Chicago
Convention. They have now obtained
circulation in one independent paper in
Buffalo, and In a three-cOlumn article
giving all the revolving details in the
Cincinnati Enquirer, the chief Democratic
organ of Ohio, if not of the whole west
The Comm ercidL- Gazette adds, as to Re-
publican editors: "They might have used
1t two years ago, when Cleveland
was running for Governor of New. York,
Tor the facts were almost as well Known
then as now to the newspaper profession
But they studiously RETAINED from even
alluding to it." At present the specific
charges are made in a dispatch from the
Rev. George II. Ball, of Buffalo, and in
! the Catholic Universe, of Cleveland, the
organ of Bishop Spaulding. The Repub
lican journals have been and are quite
content to rest their appeal to the people
upon the differences between the two
great parties on the tariff and other grave
/ questions Of National policy.

resubmlssiOn Republicans how they viii
accomplish anything in their own party,
and at the same time lay before them a
hOnied srheme to make a fusion ticke
the Democracy of course having the
"spOils" end of 1.-THE head.
AS to a fusion. that is clearly impOssi-
bic, as there is no principle absolutely
nOne-On which a fusion could be effect
ed A fusion for "spOils," which is the
kind the Democracy believes in, might
be arranged, but we do not believe the
Republicans are ready to make such
fools of themselves, not this year at
least.
As to how we can accomplish anything
by working wholly within the Repub-
ican party, we can probably better re-
ply by asking the Democracy and the
few men who are doing their utmost to
create dissatisfaction and bring about a
split that will perhaps benefit them in
dividually, two simple questions.
First-Do you think you can elect a
Legislature two-thirds Of both houses OF
which will be composed Of re-submis-
sionists and Observation-Disclosures, so that
you will be able to rush through any
measure you desire, in defiance of the
veto power?
Second-If you only succeed in elect
ing less than half the membership of
each house, do you think your party
affiliations would be such that you could
bring over to your side enough conserva-
tive Republicans to carry your measures
through, and in case of a vote do you
think it would be possible to obtain the
vote sufficient to pass it over the Cover
nor's objections?
OF course you will answer that this is
clearly impossible, and that you have no
such anticipations. That settles it that
we want no bargainings with the De-
mOcracy.

one Must Count Two Against Cleveland.
SCRANTON, Kansas.
Editor Irish World.
Like thousands of my race, have been
anxiously waiting, hoping against hope,
for the result of the Chicago Convention,
and like them, been doomed TO bitter
disappointment.
Never since its inception has the Dem
OcratiG party had a more splendid OppOr-
tunity of iustifying its title to the name,
of asserting the rights of an outraged and
plundered people, and gaining such a
sweeping and splendid victory over its
opponent, as would have assured it con-
tinuance of power in the hearts and at
fectiOns of the people. But true to its
Bourbon Policy, it needed not the voice
of Wisdom. 1t closed its ears to the
urgent appeals of the masses for the man
and the policy of their choice. Anxious
and greedy for power, it groveled in the
very dirt at the feet of corporate tyranny
bOlted Blaine and nominated Cleveland,
their consistent friend, and the deadly
and untiring foe Of labor.
What a crushing insult to the pro-
ducers of this country, and to none more
so than the Irish race. Is it possible that
our people will be so dead to every feel
ing of selfrespect as to continue to vote
for a party who as continuously insult
them? Will they drown every manly
feeling of race-pride? Stifie their justi-
fable resentment against England, their
hereditary foe, by voting for her inter
ests and the candidate of her hirelings?
No! Perish the ignobIe thought. Our
people, thanks to the manly teachings of
such papers as the Irish World, have at last
aroused to a sense of indie pendence, and
| though preferring Butler, but recognizing
| their inability to elect him, will move in
one solid phalanx to the support OF
! Blaine and Logan. VIII it do for US who
| have been and are Greenbackers to sup
port Butler? Mol Every vote for Butler
Is simply one foe less for Cleveland. Let
us show not only the Democratic but the
Republican party as we'll, that we are q
compelled to respect. GEO. MONAHAN.

Lewis R. Barnes, of Rockville, Mass,
seems to take delight in inventing plans
for torturlng his ten year old boy. Some
time ago he chained the lad to a post in
the barn over night, and in the morning
before hDerating him he beat the poor
victim with heavy strap until blood
came. Recently he locked the boy with
a paddock and chain to a cow that was
loose in the fields, and kept him in this
position for whole day. For the latter
Offense the brutal father was arrested a
few days ago and fined the Insignificant
sum of 81.

A Soldiers Bright idea.
Detroit Free Press.

Detroit Free Press.
One day soon after POpe's defeat atsec-
Ond Bull Run and Chantilly, a private
soldier belonging to an Ohio regiment
sought an interview with his captain,
and announced that he had a plan for a
military campaign which must certainly
result in crushing out the rebellion.
The officer very naturally inquired for
particulars, but the soldier refused to re-
veal them, and asked for a chance to lay
his plans before Pope himself. After
some delay he was given a pass to head
quarters. He did not get to see Pope,
but after the Chief Of Staff had coaxed
and promised and threatened for a quar-
ter of an hour the Buckeye stood up and
REPLIED:
''Well, sir, my plan is for John Pope
and Bob Lee to swap commands and il
we don't lick the South inside OF sixty
days you may shoot me for a patent hay
fork swindler!"
When he returned to camp he was
naturally asked what success he mel
with, and he ruefully replied:
"Wall, they had plan of then
own"
''What was it?''
'Why, they took me out and booted
me for a mile and half"
