]. w. DONAvAN, of Detroit. has let
ter from Geo. W. Curtis, six years a
Judge In New York, prominent Demo-
cratic lawyer Of National fame and a
leader in the anti-monopoly party. In
the letter Mr.. Curtis says; "The nomi-
nation of the champion of monopoly,
Cleveland has driven me like thousands
of others, from the Democratic party. 1
am going for Blaine. I think he will
be elected. The hatred Of the laboring
classes for Cleveland is something UNI
precedented."

In answer to a correspondent who
asks for list of Irish American and
Catholic papers that support Blaine, or
are opposed to Cleveland, the Chicago
Tribune says: The Irish World, the
Irish Nation, the Tablet, the Freeman's
Journal, the Irish weekly, the Irish
Union and the United Irishman Of New
York, the Catholic Herald of Boston, the
Catholic Telegraph Of Albany, the Cath
Ollie Universe of Cleveland, the Celt and
Citizen of Cincinnati. the Chicago Citi-
zen, the Rocky Mountain Celt of Denver,
the American Celt of ST. Louis support
Blaine. The Catholic Review of Brook
Ign, the Catholic Union of Buffalo, the
Catholic Mirror of Baltimore and the
Northwestern Chronicle of st. Paul re-
fuse to support Cleveland aid give a
quasi support to Blaine. The only Irish
American Catholic Journals that heart
lily support the Democratic nominee are
the Republic of Boston, the Irish Amer
lean of New York and the Connecticut
Catholic"

KANSAS City Journal: There are a
good many Democrats who do not hesi-
tate to say that Clcvelands election
seems to them an impossibility. A lead
ing Democrat of Kansas City, who re-
turned last week from Indiana, whittier

said to us yesterday: "Thero is no hope
whatever Of Cleveland boing able to car
~ Indiana, and no show to elect him.
We must remain out in the cold another
four years."

The New York Sun demands that
Cleveland should show that he is fit
person for decent citizen to vote for or
be retired. 1t also examines the charge
that Blaine did not read all the Multi
gan letters in the House, and declares
it an act of justice to the Republican
candidate to say that he did read them
all, and there are no missing letters,
in the sense in which the phrase has
been maliciously manufactured and
misused.

1T is pleasing to know that some of
the old Bourbon guard are still on the

st. Louis Globe Democrat says: Frank
James was one of the active men at the

lace, whose duty 1t was at one time to
present to court some reasons why Mr.
James should be hanged. The influence
of Mr.. James was strong, bat not suf-
ficient to defeat Mr.. Wallace. He should
become bolter, and run as an inde-
pendent Democratic candidate for Con-
gress in the Jackson County district"

of one Richards to the effect that in the
the coal and iron mines in which Mr..
Blaine is interested the employees are
poorly paid and badly treated. e. W. s.
Moore, the manager Of the West Virgin
la coal mines and railroad, says that not
Hungarian, Scandinavian or Italian
laborer is employed on the works, that
the company pays the highest wages,
the average for miners being ovev 800

cottages than any other miners in the

YESTERDAY was field day in the Chi
cago markets. The bears, after months of
continued victories over the bulls, yester-
day jumped into tho pits with both feet and
danced regular war!dance on their pros
trate victims. The day demonstrated that
this country must recognize the fact that
other countries can raise grain, and raise it
cheaper than wo can. There is little in the
situation pointing to old-time prices for
wheat, although it certainly has some value,
which the bears seem to doubt.

THE time has now arrived when Wash
ington city becomes for period of several
months a most healthful, beautiful and
