New JERSEY is close at best, and the people
are proteotionists. Besides, General Butler has

thustastic the people wouldn't be if Cleveland
was to make a tour, and take Maria along and

SENATOR MALONE pledges himself to carry
Virginia for Blaine if he gets sufficient money
to pay necessary election expenses, and if speak
eFs of national reputation are sent into the State.
PHILADELPHIA Press: The most execrated
man in the whole history of literature is Jean
jacques Rousseau, and he is so execrated be
cause he cast out his own offspring and left
them to be cared for by the public.
GENERAL LOGAN will take a short trip through
Iowa, speaking at several cities, and giving the
people a chance to see the gallant soldier who is
leading the Republican column to certain victory.
He speaks at Dubuque, Monday, Oct 20.
HOSEA BTGELowd described the present politi-
cal situation pretty accurately when he said;
The older a guv'ment is, the better't suits;
New ones hunt folks corns out like new boots,
Change jos for change is like them big hotels
Where they shift plates an let yer live on smells.

p. Gray, Democratic candidate for Governor of
Indiana, has been appointed commander of the
flagship of the national line of sailing vessels
which are expected to start up Salt creek early
In November.
TwENTY-EIeHT members of the ~Forty-ninth
Congress have now been chosen, and the Repub-
licans have secured seventeen and the Demo
Gratis eleven. These delegations in the present
House consist Of thirteen Republicans and ff-
teen Democrats.
ST.. LOUIS Globe Democrat: Mr.. Lamb, of the
Terre Haute district, is another Western con
gresham who should be left athome in company
with Frank Hurd and Bill Morrison. Free trade
will ruin Terre Haute, and Lamb voted with
Morrison and Hurd in the last session Of Con
gress.
THE New York Star, John Kelly's paper,
warns the Democratic managers that the Ger
mans of the Western States cannot be depended
on to vote for Cleveland. The Star omments
severely on Carl Schurz and Oswald Often
dorfer, the former a nomad, the latter a monde
script.
New YORK Special: The much-talked-of call
by. John Kelly upon Grover Cleveland amounts to
nothing. 1t is stated on the best authority that the
conversation between Cleveland and Kelly was
entirely about a Democratic candidate for Con
gress, who is a mutual friend. Reference is made
to Mr.. Potter,
CHAIBMAN WARREN, of the New York Repub-

st. John will not poll L., 900 votes. The stall
warts are actively supporting Blaine, who will
undoubtedly defeat Cleveland in the State and
even in his own city, Buffalo.

may try to mislead honest voters by seeking to
explain away the formidable majorities of Tues
day, but we shall do nothing of the kind. The
Republicans have gained a great victory, and not
to see it is to be blind-not to concede it is to be
stupid-to attempt.to conceal it is to be absurd.
NATIONAL Republican: The Democrats will
point the finger of scorn at Col Dudley now as
the hated wretch who saved Ohio" to the Re
publicans. Col. Dudley did rot save Ohio"
About 400, 900 voters attended to the salvation
business. Col. Dudley was an interested spec
tabor. He watched the performance from a
front seat.
NEW YORK Special; Mr.. Kelly is said to be
claiming that Cleveland's majority will be 80, 900
in New York city and 8, 600 in Brooklyn. This
is a neat way of giving up the State. Every
body knows that the State, outside of the me-
tropolitan district, is stronger Republican than
New England or Pennsylvania. Garfield beat
Hancock outside New York city and Brooklyn,
inside New York State, 62,318.
THE Toledo Commercial Telegram prints in
full an impressive argument upon private NOR
atty as a qualification for Office which was lately
made by the Rev. DR.. j. A. p. McGaw before
the Preachers Union. DR.. McGaw states with
fresh vigor and force the great truth that the
deliberate elevation to high Office of men of dis
solute habits and corrupt natures is the symbol
ard prophecy of national degeneration.
NEw YORK Independent: 1t is difficult to
think Of amore grotesque, and, in somerespects,
revolving spectacle, than that now presented to
the American people by the candidacy of Mr..
Cleveland. What adds to its singuIarity is the
fact that those who figure conspicuously in the
scene do not seem to appreciate either its real
character or their own position, or, if they do,
evince n power of concealment as rare and mar
Vicious as the scene itself.
PHILADELPHIA Press: Mr.. Hendricks asks
his audience, wherever he goes: Gust stop and
think how much that $400, 900, 600 or $500, 900, 900
would do for you and yours,' and reminds them
in the same connection of the number of men
in the country who are out of employment. The
inference which he would have them gather is,
apparently, that if he had the power he would
divide this money among those unemployed.
Kearney himself, on the sand lots of San Fran
cisco, never was guilty of more harmful utter
ances nor displayed a more rank demagogic
spirit than Hendricks is showing in every speech
he makes.
MR. BYNUA, Democratic candidate for repre-
sentative i'll Congress from this district, has
been eanvassing Shelby county. A report of a
speech delivered by him, at Meltzer postofice,
notes that he was trying to prove that the use of
improved machinery by farmers had a tendency
to lessen the demand for farm laborers. Pitching
his voice to a rising infection, he said: II am
not surprised that these laborers, out of work,
