more than mere availability.
The greatest trouble about the
Cleveland boom was its previousness.
1t came too soon and didn't last we'll
1t would be well for the Chicago
convention to remember that none of
the doubtful states can be carried ON a
free trade tariff plank.
Thos. a. Hendricks, Dan Voorhees,,
Allen G. Thurman, Sam Randall, Ben
Butler and Wade Hampton will all be
| in the Chicago convention.
The Arkansas Democracy demands
such revision of the tariff laws as will
equaIize the burdens and benefits de-
rived from the levy and collection of
duties. ,Gi u
The disaffected Republicans have
announced that they will support Ell
Their Bayard or Cleveland and that is
where those two favorites have the
bulge on Mcdonald.
Bayard viii meet less opposition in
New York than any man who resides
in that State, and he has good deal
more personal merit than any candi-
date New York presents hi ii1t
A correspondent of the Nashville
American from Huntsville says that
| the Alabama Greenbackers bolt the
nomination of Butler for the Presi-
dency. ,iirs -,-Rt ta
Hon. Perry Belmont, of New York,
says that Cleveland will not be able to
control the delegation from that State.
He thinks. that the vote, of the State
win be ultimately cast for Bayard,
The Blaine party is preparing for a
vigorous campaign in some of the
Southern States. We may look out
for distinguished Northern speakers
in Tennessee this Summer and Fall.
The opposition OF John Kelly's Or
gan, the Evening Star, to Governor
Cleveland has given his boom a black
eye, Cleyeland's sole Recommendation
for the nomination lies in his ability
to carry New York I"i..d. 2r
&C. The New York Sun says GWc also
record here our earnest conviction
that Mr.. Bayard would he far strong

in the State of New York as well as
elsewhere" g. t4-tFE ftst
Jim Harris, OF Memphis, it. is said
differs from his old uncle lsham on
the tariff question and believes in an
adjustment of revenue tariff so rs to
protect American labor and industries.
Jim wants 10 go to Congress from the
Tenth district.
In spite of Cleveland's big majority
in New York he received a smaller
vote in that State than Garfield did
two years before. Twas Folger's
small vote that made the 100000 ma
jority. The Republican voters staid
at home.
The substance of the Wilson resOlu-
ton, enormously called the Ledger
wood reSolution,which passed the late
convention at Nashville, is that the
Tennessee tariff plank shall be nullified
by the plank adopted at Chicago
Verify, that Tennessee utterance is OF
few days and full of trouble.
The Shelbyville Gazette thinks
with Cleveland and Mcdonald on a
platform similar to that of Ohio, We
can beat the Republicans out of sight.
The idea needs amendment in only
one particular; our contemporary
should have mentioned Bayard for the
first place.
The Democrats of the following
States have Incorporated the Ohio idea
into the platforms adopted this year
Connecticut, Virginia, West Virginia,
California, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Louisiana. II all these Democrats
go over to the Republicans where they
can be shot at, we will need more
shooters on our side.
There can be little doubt that Blaine
is guilty of the charges of corruption
brought against him, but the Demo
Gratis needn't hope to win by opposing
him with an honest nOnentity. Worse
things were proved on Garfield than
are charged ON Blaine, but for nil that
he cleaned up the unsullied Hancock
The American public seems to prefer
a capable rogue to an honest fool.
There is a modicum OF truth in the
following from the Ashland City Re
porter that the Democrats will do well
to observe: "The Democracy can
stand ON the outside and howl for re-
form until the COWS come home but
they will never accomplish anything
until they get in possession of the
premises where the work is to be
DONE"
Logan got the appellation "Dirty
Work Logan" by his zeal in capturing
fugitive slaves and returning them to
their masters. In defense Of this con-
duct he said:
We are willing toperform that dirty
work. do not consider it disgracefuI
to perform any work, dirty or not
dirty, which is in accordance with the
laws of the land and the constitution
of the country, and calculated to assist
men in recovering that which is their
right guaranteed to them under the
constitution and laws of the land.
If Bayard should be nominated at
Chicago and anything is said of his
ante-war speeches, it will be well
enough to remember that Logan made
some Of similar tenor. On Deem
Der ., 1853, Mr.. Logan made Il speech
in Congress, in which he said:
Does the Republican party of Illinois
obey the laws? D".S II yield To the |
