Poetry.
The Sailor Wife.

The last parting thought Of the day
Has been flashed to the listening hills
While we glide DER the waters away.
As n soft breeze our white sail fills
And my love at the tiller stands,
SO strong and bright and free.
Guiding 1t well with her shapely hands.
For the queen OF the wave l. she.
Talk to me not Of your rose-leaf girls
But give me my brave maid there
With her sun-bro~ned face and wind-swcpt
curls.
And her voice as fresh as the air
For my wife will be as true TO me.
However the winds may blow
And well sail along with loving song.
Be our voyage swift or slow.
SO talk to me not OF your dainty girls.
But give me woman brave:
Far better than roses, or teeth OF pearls.
Is the courage that darcs the wave.
For our bark she'll guide. whate'er beti,ir.
All safe to the other shore.
Where the storms Of life, and ifs weary strife,
Can trouble our souls no more

Democratic strength il consolidated and
active there, and against 1t there Is little
chance OF the Republicans 0vercoming
an aggregate majority of nearly 10, 600.
BESIDES, California, which we have left
out, was carried by Hancock by =
handsome majority.
without any further analysis Of the
vote OF the electoral college, 1t is quite
evident that the outlook for the De-
mocracy Is highly encouraging. We
nave glanced at the figures only on
the basis of known political conditions.
but these may be greatly altered by
the powerful independent movement
against Blaine in the Eastern states.
the extent of which Is at present unde-
termined. 1t will not be surprising if
Cleveland carries more than one state
heretofore regarded as assured to the
Republicans.
But although all the indications are
favorable, there should be no neglect o Z
any useful measures by the Democrats.
A steady, energetic and intelligent
canvass should be maintained in ev.
cry state, and particular care should be
taken 10 prevent any possibility of
fraud in states where the vote is likely
to be close, or where the condition are
such as to invite radical plots and
schemes, such as were developed in
1876. Let there be ceaseless, vigilant
work for another five weeks or so, and
the country will be delivered from sad-
icalism at last, and the great Democrat
ic victory will be won.-Repu6iscdn.

The question for Republicans is not:
Shall we elect Blaine President of the
United States? but: Shall we elect
Blaine leader of the Republican party?
That is what consistent Republicans
should ask themselves. All know that
Blaine is the worst man who ever went
before the people as candidate for Chief
Magistrate. All know the record Of
his indecent prostitution of the powers
of Office. All have seen the brazen inn
pudence with which he glsries in what
should make him odious in the eyes Of
all men. All have seen the hideous
infamy to which he has resorted In his
attempt to crush the honest man whom
honest men hope to make President
next November. Shamelessly he has
violated the sanctfty of Q mans private
life; shamelessly he has perverted his
party press to the lowest purposes Of
candal-mongering. Pitilessly he has
dragged wOman's shame before the
public. He has not hesitated to use
weapons which would disgrace the
-sAnlast- -cause. Ha4 Mas MOT al1astf tel -.
