What they have done has not been done in a
corner We throw down the gage of battle by
these nominations. We say, gentlemen, turn
your electric lights on these candidates. Exam
inc their long and conspicuous career in the pub
lie service and let us know what you discover.
IN this campaign, as in the last, there will be
no doubt something said about letters Let it
be so. Revive all the scandals of the past two
decades. Fill your columns and speeches with
stories exploded or ignored by the people before
some of our younger voters can remember
That powder has all been burned and is harm
less. Every arrow of malice and ealumny has
been discharged. The Knight of Maine has
been prominent candidate for the presidency
for ten years. His whole life has been eanvassed
and considered, and his nomination now says to
his calumniators, your arrows have not pene-
trated the armor but lie harmless at his feet
A Democrat said to me to-day that it was
blood and thunder ticket Now. a Democrat
sometimes says a good thing, and his party
sometimes does a good thing without knowing
it This was good thing 1t is q blood and
thunder ticket. 1t represents well two kinds of
blood. Twenty years ago and more, some of the
best blood of this nation was spilled that it's
life might be preserved. Both names ON the
ticket, and especially the second, stand for
that with its memories and results. There is to
day, coursing through the veins and warming the
hearts of living men, blood that is aroused by
brilliant powers and generous manly courage.
Both Names and especially the firsb appeal
to this blood. Taken together. the
ticket represents the best blood of
this nation both shed and unshed,
Yes, my Democratic friend, there is thunder in
the ticket too 1t will be loud in November
But fortunately for us all, Republican thunder
has never hurt anybody, unless it was an office
seeker. The country and you, my Democratic
friend, have always been benefited by Republic
an victories. Youmay not have thought SO at the
time but look behind you and see. Think of
what this nation was twenty five years ago, and
what 1t is now. Look Into mems hom,s and see
how they live now what comforts and lnxuries
they enjoy, and ask how it was in 1860, Men
may theorize as they will about the benefits Of
sound currency and protective tariff, but as
the old maxim has it, ''The proof Of the pudding

Democrats Poorer than Ever, and Rcpub-
Leans Holding Tight to Their Purses.
Washington telegraml
There has been no campaign since ante
bellnm days that has been conducted on
such vigorously economical principles rs
that upon which both parties are now en-
tering. The Democratic party. always
poor. seems poorer than ever, aud visit
to their headquarters in this city would
convince one Of that fact after brief
chat with the attaches. 1t is diff.
cult even to secure money for
postage stamps and other incidental
expenses. 1t is almost as bad at the Re-
publican headquarters. The Government
clerks, under the stimulus of public opin-
ion. have become very independent, and in
the majority Of eases fatty refuse to con-
tribute cent. The assessments from this
source alone in former years have netted
the Republicans not less than 800, 900.
This year it will not equal one-tenth Of
that sum. From all over the country come
reports Of indifference on the part of leading
Republicans whose liberality hitherto has
been the boast and pride of the party.
Charles Foster is quoted as saying that he
will not furnish Il penny of aid. His is not
the only case OF this nature. In 1879,
when the country was passing through q
period of commercial depression far greater
than that which exists ut present. there were
funds in abundance on both sides. Then
money was counted out by the tifties and
hundreds; day it is doled out in ones
and twos. 1t is difficult to assign a reason
for this cause, unless it be that the busi-
ness men of the country feel satisfied that
things will drift along in about the usual
fashion, no matter whether the Republi-
cans or Democrats are successful

A Commissioner of the General Land Of
fee, who was sent to Colorado some time
ago to investigate complaints made by set
tiers against cattle companies that they had
Illegally fenced in public lands and had
obtained occupation of large tracts by
fraudulent entry. has made report fully
sustaining the settlers. Eight charges have
been made against the Prairie Cattle Com
pany, composed of Scotchmen. Tracts
of 100 square miles. twenty-five square
miles, seyenty-fye square miles,
and sixteen square miles have
been illegally fenced III by that corporation.
1t is believed that the cattle companies have
fnudulently possessed themselves of nearly
5000, 900 acres of public lands in Colorado
alone within the last fve years. In New
Mexico it is asserted that Dope cent of the
lands held by the cattlemen have been ille-
gllly inclosed: in Dakota 75 per cent. are

Were not many passengers on the train and
mt midnight all Of them We're sound asleep.
The train was speeding along at the rate of
forty miles an hour. when all at once the
sleeping-car porter heard wild scream,
which came seemingly from the for
ward platform of the coach. He in
formed the conductor, and an immediate
search of the sleeper was made, result
ing in the discovery that the berth of young
Robert Thompson was empty. The train
was stopped, and the father of the young
man, together with the brakeman, walked
back about four miles, when they found
young Thompson sitting on cross-tie pain
fully cut and bruised. He said he had been
dreaming of IA swimming tournament. and
imagining himself on spring board in a
natatorium had walked to the platform and
plunged off. Fortunately. the train was
running through level country, and his
leap did not result seriously.

first stage of cholera; but If neglected.
the tendency Of the disease is to grow
rapidly worse. The patient complains
Of intense thirst and burning heat at
the pit OF his stomach: he suffers also
excruciating pain from cramps in the
muscles of the extremities; he Is terri
hlv restless: and his urgent cry is for
water to quench his thirst, and that
some ono might rub his limbs, and thus
relieve the muscular spasm. The pulse
is rapid and very weak. tho respirations
are hurried, and the patients voice be-
comes husky, His eountenance is
pinched. and tho integument Of his
body feels incla>tic and donghv, Will.

duration of this, the second stage Of

continue for twelve or fifteen hours
