If Mr.. Blaine desires to save himself
from u humiliation greater than that of
Folger in 1882, he will promptly betake
himself from the ticket. He is thor.
oughly distrusted by the American peo'
pie, and the last expose has driven the
| final nails into his political coffin. Let
him retire and give the people fair
chance between Butler and demagogism
and Cleveland and Democracy, that tn e
former may be swept from the earth.
Burn this letter -" Toll the truth -
How do our Republican friends like the
comparison
SINCE the Cleveland tide has began
to rise, not so much is heard Of the pre-
sent being repetition of the Greeley
| campaign.
| Mr.. BLAINE hopes that every Republi-
can newspaper in the United States will
| publish the recent instalment of Mulligan
letters, because he knows that none of
them will.
| THE wave of reduction in newspaper
prices has reached Philadelphia. 1t will
| quicken competition in journalism in that
city, from which the public will doubtless
be more benefited than the newspaper
proprietor.

BLAINE TO FISHER.
SENATOR BAYARD's mastery address
before an immense Brooklyn audience on
Monday evening, will attract widespread
attention from the high character of the
mau and the weight of his utterances. As
Governor Cleveland's chief rival for the
presidential nomination, 1t was hoped by
Republicans that the Delaware senator
would let fall some expression of disap-
pointment at the choice made by the
| party. Such hopes were, however, doomed
to be blasted. His clear cut deliverauces
on party questions are convincing, and his
warm praise of Governor Cleveland shows
that he regards him rs emIneutly fit to
occupy the chair graced by Washington.

itch for notoriety seems to be the driving
