A QUESTION OF sPefbs

The New York World rises in its Dage Of
outraged virtue to denounce the Cincinnati
Enquirer because the latter declared that there
was nothing worth maintaining in politics
save 'spoils. The World is full of wrath be-
cause the Enquirer is Of opinion that Demo
cratic success in November will mean the ex-
pulsion from Office of every Republican Of
fetal in the land. The Enquirer holly re-
torts:
Does the World speak by authority Does
it voice sentiments of Governor Clevelands
Are Democrats to understand that in the event
of the success of the Democratic ticket in No
vember the country is to continue to wear the
yoke Of the office holders who for twenty years
have been the benefciaries of place and powerG
With due Difference to the opinions of the
World and with the sole purpose of inquiry.
the Enquirer asks the question It Is not
abstruse. Will the World be good enough to
be explicit
There is more in this question than will be
admitted by Eastern Democrats. If it is to
be understood that Mr. Hendricks pledge is
not to be kept, the faithful will be quick to
let up and drop out Of the ranks. Nine out
Of ten Of the men now helping in the Demo
cratic campaign are so helping confident Of
being rewarded with an office now worthily
held by some one else Take the hope Of
spoils out of the Democratic campaign and it
| is dead.

wages paid, etc. He went to each Of his en-
ployes, from the head miller down, and told
them that he had been looking into the foreign
milling business thoroughly, and had come to
the conclusion that the only way that Ameri-
can millers could compete with European
millers was by manufacturing at less cost
than now-in other words, by paying their
help less. Now" he added, 1--WE can never
get these wages any lower until we have free
trade, and want you all to vote for Cleveland
and free trade. Then we will have steady
market for our flour Do you seer They
saw, but not as their employer did, and now
there are several mill employees who are
'whooping it up for Blaine and protection.

Walsh, of Georgia, told him and others. only
month ago. that Cleveand's defeat meant an end
of the Solid South, he said he thought that would
be good thing
GATH says Of Carl Schurz Few men have
left the Republican party for Cleveland whom it
is not pleasure to part company with The
countenance Of Carl Schurz torn with futile
revolutionary passions and the love Of rebellion,
and the bitter sense of independence and com
petence thrown away in the mere Bohemian's
pursuit of ambition-old, wandering, a gypsy
upon the earth--it is gladness to see go past our
door and pause no moie to make us shudder.
What is the residue Of that lifel Ashes ashes,
ashes. No human being ever heard hum award
praise to an equal. Self worship, self-ilnmola-s
ton, everlasting pursuit of self for self, have
produced the usual results: loneliness safety,
revolt against nature and progress, and in his
speeches can be detected the awful wall of them
who, abiding nowhere, lash the world till it is
indifferent, and then they curse God and die. ,"
A WRITER in the New York Tribune furnishes
the following outline of an ingenious Demo
cratic PLAN Il hear that Governor Cleveland will
after this long delay follow Mr.. Blaines exam
pie, and sue the editor of the Buffalo Telegraph,
the paper which first published the scandal con-
corning him about Maria Hal[i Mr.. Watts,
one OF the detectives who conveyed the unfortu
nate woman to an insane asylum without legal
commitment recently said that he was to mako
some public statement or affidavit on the subject
shortly, but that lie had not done so as yet Ho
was one of Sheriff Clevelands deputies The
design, as l hear it intimated, is to have the
editor of the Telegraph arrested about two
weeks before the election and taken before a
magistrate. If he waves an examination he
will be held in BAIL of course and at once in
dicted by the grand jury for trial after election.
II be decides to defend before the magistrate the
plaintiff, having the first opportunity to be
heard may occupy all the time of the court un-
til after election in putting in testimony or in
making arguments

cratic maladministration would be better than
the election of James G. Blaine. They viii
appeal from schurz drunk with hatred Of
Blaine to Schurz sober in 1880, when he de-
clared, in the wigwarn in this city, that there
could be no calamity equal to the Inauguration
into power Of the Democratic party. A man
who can so readily eat his own words is not
likely to exert great influence with people Of
sound mind, who are actuated in their con
duct by motives based upon principle and in
tellipenee.

THE total vote in Maine, SO far as reported
was 40, 436. The vote in favor Of the pro
hibition amendment was only 64,507--a very
large minority Of the whole vote. If this was
the result in Maine, where they have had d
prohibitory law for thirty years, agreed to by
all parties, it would seem that there is much
yet to be. done in the way Of creating public
sentiment before Temperance men should at
tempt to force prohibition into politics else
where, particularly partisan politics There
is food for.thought in the figures from Maine
for temperance men.

DESIGNATING OHIO.

The same tactics pursued in the Maine cam
yass have been adopted in the Ohio cam
paign. From confidently claiming the State
the Democratic organs have begun discount
ing the probable Republican majority by de-
claring that ''the Democratic managers have
decided not to concentrate all their energies
on the October States" A Washington
special to the Courier-J ournal says:
The campaign in the Buckeye State viii be
conducted with extraordinary vigor and
push, yet the friends of Governor Cleveland
do not stake their chances of winning in
November on the prospect of success there.
If they carry both Ohio and West Virginia in
October, they believe Mr.. Blaine's defeat is
certain, but if West Virginia goes Demo-
cratic and the Republicans carry Ohioby a small
majority, they think that the remainder of
the contest will be extremely hot and bitter,
with the final result in doubt. In word,
they regard Ohio as Indispensable to the Re
publicans, but not to a Democratic victory
This is "heads win, tails you lose" with a
vengeance. By this arrangement Democrat
ic majority would be Democratic triumph,
and, paradoxical as is may seem, a Republican.
majority, however large would likewise bea
Democratic victory 1t were better this time
that that party do not repeat the blunder they
were guilty Of in estimating the result in
Maine. In that instance, the day before the
election nothing less than 10000 Republican
majority could be regarded as an evidence Of
Blaines popularity 1t reached nearly 10000,
and the organs have been worried ever since,
trying ia explain that even 10000 does not
signify anything.

BLAINE declined to vote on the prohibition
question in Maine, because, in the position he
now occupies, such vote would have ma
tional significance, to the detriment Of other
and vital national questions Prohibition is
not and cannot be made, national question;
certainly not in this campaign. But the tariff
question is one that is very prominent before
the people Of the entire country. Will Demo-
cratic papers explain why Cleveland and Hen
bricks lodged itG

y The News untes with the journal in rep
rotation Of the disgraceful management or
rather want of management of the street-car
lines in This city, particularly on Massachu-
setts avenue. The News says:
"We improve the occasion TO say that if
the street-car management will not correct
this thing the Council ought to compel it to-.
The street-car company lives off the people,
and these have some rights which it is bound
to respect, and if the City Council represents
the people and not the street-ear company, it
will compel it to conduct its business as the
same is conducted in other cities. The
smoker must go.

To BON. IaAAn ?. GRAY.

Did you say in your speech at Logansport
Ind, delivered on the 5th day of this month,
as follows: II come down later; in 1854 and
1855, find when the wild cry and fanaticism
Of Know-nothingism was sweeping over this
land, find at that time that Blaine, the
editor of the Kennebec Journal, was writing
editorials: Down with the Popel America
for Americans; let foreigners live here twenty
one years like Americans have to. Put none
but Americans on guardp find Catholic
churches burned down in the cities of New
York and Philadelphia. Sometimes Irishmen,
sometimes Germans, chased through the streets
for their lives. Sometimes Catholic mother
with her little child in her hands, followed in
the dark hour Of midnightin the light of her
own free homer
DO you deny uttering that exact language
in your speechs Do you notknow that Blaine
never wrote, uttered or published the Ian
guage or sentiments you ascribe to hint Do
you not know that it is pure fabrication of
your brain7 Now, Colonel Gray, we ask you
if you were not, during the years 1854 and
1856, member of the order of Know moth
ings and master Of lodgea Doesn't the
blood of Irishmen and Germans still hang
heavily upon your conscience9 Do. their
ghosts disturb your slumberai Can you yet
see their burning churches and honest When
other men sleep soundly and rest well are
your slumbers disturbed BY the scenes which
you now charge upon othersR We respect,
fully ask an answer to these questions, for
there are good many Germans and Irishmen
in this State who anxiously await your reply.

Liberal Germans.

German Tribune, yes terday.
The German Republicans have organized
themselves; the German Democrats propose to
do the same They have right to doso, and no
friend of personal liberty dares take it amss But
why do the gentlemen direct their cali to the
liberal Germans and not to the Democrats; or,
are they ashamed to call themselves Dem
ocrats; or do they believe that all liberal
Germans are Democrats, and that there are no
liberals among the Republicans Against such
view we must protest We know many
German Republicans whose liberalism is far
greater than that of the signers of the call who
have proven heretofore that their liberalism is
very one-sided, and that they respect neither
the freedom of speech nor the freedom of the
press
If the gentlemen form liberal organization
they should resolve that every one may vote as
he may please; but if they propose to form u
Democratic organization, then for the sake Of
candor and respect for their own party, let them
call the child by its own and proper name.
