Comment ON Governor Cleveland.


NEW York, March 20-In signing the
Roosevelt bill, which vests in the mayor of
this city after next January absolute power
of appointment Governor Cleveland has
either sounded his political knsll or has given
his presidential boom a movement onward
which it could not have otherwise attained.
There is a choice variety Of opinion with re-
gard to this The governors action,
however, leaves no doubt that be
has risen to a place above that
of the hackney politician. The talk of run
ming John Kelly for mayor is revived by
this event, and Tammany leaders agree that
if Assemblyman Roosevelt is himself ambi.
tious for the mayorality John Kelly will GER
tainly be pittsd against him Indeed, the
Tammany organ int,mates as much, and
calls Cleveland sharply to account for his
recreancy to Democratic principles. Inter
views with business men are generally favor
able to the governors action. President
Kirk, of the board of aldermen. says that if
Kelly will consent TO run he will be named
as the Democratic candidate for mayor and
then those VINO have advocated Roosevelt S
measure will be the first to rush to Albany
to try to undo this action

which the following is sample: I'VE have
no candidate who is an issue in himself.
The talk about the old ticket is the sheerest
nonsense, and it comes mainly from those
who opposed the Old ticket when it
meant something which might have
counted for something. Mr.. Tildea would
not, could not, take the Office, far less a NOM
nation. The scheners who are constantly
Juggling him into the struggle know this full
well. He is not in this fight at all, directly
or indirectly, Long ago he made up his
mind not to cheat his old age Of its repose
For Mr.. Payne, for Mr. Hoadly, and fol-
Mr.. Randall, he entert aims the warmest sen.
timent Of personal regard. And why should
he noti They were his friends during a great
and trying crisis of his life
"The tariff which in 1876 occupied second
or third place, has come to occupy the first
and yet, though it was not at the front eight
years ago, the tariff plank in the St Louii
platform was as carefully and deliberately
drawn as any other plank in that platform

and brought back to receive bis approval

STEWARTsToWN, June 9th, 1884.
MEssRs. EDITORS Seeing occasionally in
your columns letter from New Freedom. /
thought word from Stewartstown might not
be out of place. Our town has taken on quite
business air within the last few months.
several new enterprises having been started
"a tailoring establishment, photograph gal
lery, a cigar mandatory and a salesroom for
agricultural machinery.
The Stewartstown and New Freedom rail-
road project is still being agitated, and this
time with encouraging indications of success
This, if completed, will bring US into imme-
diate rail connection with Baltimore and Phil
adelphia, and will doubtless add rapidly to
the growth aud development of our town, and
give new impetus to the agricultural interests
of this already fruitful section.
The ADVOCATE, unquestionably one of the

The closing exercises of our Academy took
place on Thursday, the 26th. They consisted
of readings by the students and principal,
music by the students and addresses by Rev.
N. W. Colburn, Rev. L. r. McGregor, Prof.
j. A. Murphy, former principal of the
Academy, and Mr.. James Fulton, of the board
of trustees. After the exercises refreshments
were served to all, and a pleasant time en-.
joyed. The management Of the Institution
was highly enmplimented by the speakers,
which was very encouraging to the principal.
Among the visitors we were much pleased to
notice Mr.. ]. s. Git, an old correspondent
of the ADVOCATE. He is making the survey
for our railroad, and is regarded as an able
engineer. The past year has been pros
porous one for the Academy, the total regis
tration being &c students. CARoLrs.

No other man can so solidify the Demo-

state and county conventions show it. In
New York the party is for him except John

latter he will have in New York the support

Mr.. Baine's religious faith, we regret to
see, is the subject of investigation and crit,
cism in several so-called religious journals
and by some of the secular press. If Mr..
Blaine is member of any church, and has
any religion, it ought to be matter of con-
graduation that he has. His faith is matter
between him and his Maker, and not a sub
ject for the criticism of man. If he be an
upright, correct man, it matters not with what
denomination he atiiliates-whether he be
Methodist, Congregationalist, Catholic, Bap,
tist or a member of any other church. His
belief, or protested belief, amounts to moth
ing-it is his works.
