A Hoosier farmer offers a prize of big

sentiment for the Union uttered by Thomas
A. Hendricks during the war.
To an inquiry by the n. Y. World
Henry Ward Beecher answered after this

will support him heartily"

Thomas A. Hendricks as "a statesman and
a patriot" Eight years ago Mr.. Hendricks
spoke of Mr.. Schurz as "a lying Dutch
man."
The recent judicial election in the Lex
ington, Kentucky, district resulted in Re-
publican triumph, Holt, for Appellate
Judge, receiving a amajOrity of nearly 1900.
The district has heretofore voted from 200
to $500 Democratic.
Cincinnati Commercial: The burning
question among Democrats now is whether
to sacrifice Cleveland and save the party,
or hold on to Cleveland and sacrifice the
party. That issue will soon take prece-
dence of the tariff question.
Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady
Stanton have declared for Blaine Although
they have no votes, we gladly give up
George William Curtis and Carl Schurz for
these two noble women. Their influence
is much greater" So says the Kansas City
Journal
The leading Democratic journal of Ohio
is not approved Of by Henry Watterson
whose CourierJouradl characterizes the
Enquirer as, "That so-called Democratic
newspaper published at Cincinnati, really
svile Republican prostitute, which is
prosecuting its systematic assaults upon
the Democratic candidate for the Presi-
dency."
The Prohibitionists held a meeting in
Denver last week. Among others present
was Rev. Dr. Hoyt, who, being called upon
for Speech responded by saying: II am
Republican and shall vote for James G.
Blaine" The applause that followed
showed that the temperance people had
little sympathy for the proposed prohibi-
tory campaign.
Vicksburg Post DEM: The New York
Post ventures to say that if Cleveland is
elected one of the New York Independent
Republicans will occupy position in the
Cabinet. 1t is little injudicious for the
superb models Of public morality that con-
gregate around Gotham to announce the
real object of their support of Cleveland
so early in the struggle.
New York Star DEM: Unless the Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher is the victim of
newspaper conspiracy-and such an as
sumption appears totally untenable-the
frequency and. facility with which he
changes his political predictions are well
calculated to inspire amusement if not sur
prise. Mr. Beecher undoubtedly means
well, but he is of too impulsive temper
ament.
New York World (Dem.): Buffers can
didacy will have the effect of complicating
matters somewhat, but we do not believe
it will affect the general result. Mr.. But
lers reasons for declaring himself the open
enemy of the Democratic party will no
doubt be interesting to some people. The
Democrats of Massachusetts, who have
been favoring him for several years with
their support and encouragement,w will prob
ably conclude now that they have been
nursing viper.
Ex-Congressman Seelye: If the charges
against Cleveland are true, do not see
how one with any self-respect can vote for
the man against whom they are made, nor
how party with any pretensions to decen-
cy can keep such man in nomination.
To affirm that the offenses are venial be-
cause they have not been "hauntedein the
face of the public" or to argue that since
they affect only the candidates private life
they are no bar to his election to high
public office, indicates, | should say, a
shocking debauchery Of the moral senti-
ment.
Minneapolis Tribune (Rep): The Dem
ocrats have lost the able assistance of Mr..
Kelly, and Mr. Dana, of Tammany and the
Democrats, OF Butler and the
of the Irish Americans and
the southern protectionists. Ii they are
satisfied with Mr.. Curtis and Mr.. Schurz,
as plasters for these deadly wounds the
rest of the world will not be disposed to
make the slightest complaint.
Buffalo Commercial Adrertiser Rep
The open detection of the New York Sun
from the ranks of the regular Democracy
may now be considered an accomplished
fact, and it is one that cannot fail TO ada
to the encouragement of the managers OF
Mr.. Clevelands canvass. The Sun is uls-
satisfied with the controlling influences OF
the free trade element in the Demo-
cratic party and greatly disgusted with the
folly of the party representatives IN allow
ing themselves to be wheedled and bull
dozed by the New York machine poll
ticians into nominating raw recruit Ike
G Governor Cleveland, mainly because few
fastidious critics in the Republican party
made his nomination the price OF their
support.
