tions. Ifit wasent for Mr.. Blaine's s
family ! wouldent,care q cent how
many bad things they brought out
on him, If they were true, For the
southern people never had a worse
slanderer than. he has been. His
Andersonville speech was q web of
lies, q monstrous cruel slander, "a
bloody shirt dipped in slime, and
it was delivered by him, not for a
principle, or to illustrat ruth, but
to make political capita or him
self. He deliberately sought to
play upon the base passions of
mankind; to excite their hate and
revenge, and thereby promote him
self. And now since his own in
lquities have been brought to light,
| wouldent care one cent if it was
not for his family. David was in
a power Of trouble when he pray
eel: on, Lord, visit not upon me
the iniquities of my YOUTH Mr..
Blaine had better kept dark. He
could have suppressed the charges
against Cleveland if he had tried
or wanted to. lie ought to have
telegraphed every republican edi-
tor insthe nation and begged them,
for his own sake, to publish no
charges against Cleveland with a
woman in the case. Let not the
pot call the kettle black.

splurging around and abusing us
like we were a passel Of devils and
had just broke out in a new place.
Before the war he was hollcrinc
hurrah for Dixie and was sending
back our runaway niggers, and
when the war broke out he raised
"a confederate regiment and was
sending the Indian boys down in
to Kentucky where he was 10 or
ganizc his regiment, and about
that time he was brought up with
q commission as brigadier-g general
and topped over on the other side,
and has been waving the bloody

fraud. '...-. "|t 49,.

When man is a candidate the
people arc bound to know the best
Of him and the worst, too. If he
is an angel on one side he will be
made devil on the otherr; and
considcrate people will split the
difference between the two. A can

conveyed by Miss. Valley Road, we
would receive it at 8 a. IN , and Jas it

St. Charles, desiring to communicate
by mail with BOnnetCarre orEdgard

The letter, promised for month and

the poorest production that ever ema-

The hope existed. both among support

Blaine is q demagogue. Cleveland is
not. Blaine, from the time he entered
public life as Maine Legislator until
now, has used the methods of the
demagogue to keep himself in Office.
He. has made promises that he could
mot fulfil, and. as the Republican cam
didate for President, he would have the
people lay particular stress upon the
promises that he makes touching the
policy Of his Administration. Cleve-
land, on the other hand, uses no chat.
He makes no promises, except the
promises that become an honest man.
He pledges himself TO be the President
of the people, not Of q ring. He
pledges himself to execute the laws, TO
see justice measured out to ali men, to
turn out the rascals He will OCCUPY
the White House rs servant OF the
people, not as tyrant to crush liberty
or as jobber to steal the peoples
money and enrich his friends.
The people have the records of the
two men before them. Blaine has been
an office-seeker- ever since he was
twenty-five years old, and after getting
into Office BY demagogic methods he has
proceeded to make the Office pay. He
has grown rich of positions Of trust.
and If he were elected President he
would be surrounded by gang fas dis
reputable mon as ever disgrnced cur
rupt administration.
CT .veland. the Democrat, is not an
Offices ,eker. He was nominated for
Mayor of Buffalo, but, the Democrats
had to force the honor upon him. He
refused to accept until his friends told
him that it was his duty to do SO. The
municipal government needed reform
ing, and be was selected a. the man
VINO could accomplish the herculean
task. He was nominated for Governor
Of New York. He did not seek TIE Of
flee, but the Office sought him. and rs .
public-spirited citizen he was forced to
accept With such . line record as .
reformer, his name ives brought prom
inently forward As . strong candidate
for the Presidency. He did not seek the
high honor, but che Democrats, In con-
vention assembled, thrust it upon him.
The Democrats ask Cleveland to ae,-
cept the highest honor within their Gift.
Blaine asked the Republicans to confer,
their highest honor npon' him; not only
that, he managed the convention
through sharp agents and forced the
nomination. Cleveland Is the nominee
Of the Democratic party. Blaine is the
nominee Of his radical machine. The
methods employed 0y the two men -
in such striking contrast that the most
biased person must concede that one Is
in accord with honesty. the other with
rascality. Honest, Intelligent and pat
riotic men should have no hesitancy in
deciding between the two. Which shall

Tho "Plumed Knights are in this

Logan meeting in Now York some days
