NEW YORK Tribune: Does Mr.. Beecher think
that he honors his own long suffering wife by
publishing the disgusting drivel addressed to her
by of debased character, who crawls UNI
| der her pure mantle for shelterE
| CINCINNATI Commercial Gazette: Clevelands
| letter to Mrs. Beecher is mere SWIVEL If he
has wronged woman and is sorry for it, why
does he not redress the wrong by making her
his wife and legitimatizing their childG
WARD hummer: IF Belva Lockwood was
married to man like me, who has had some po-
litical experience, darned if me and Belvie
wouldn'd make it hot for Blaine and them other
chaps What she needs is somebody to advise
| her"
Soon after Mr. Cleveland's nomination the
Democrats in Washington held an impromptu
ratification meeting, which was addressed by
Senator Voorhees, of Indiana. The Senator
rather startled his auditors by exclaiming,
THANK God! we have a candidate with neck
as thick as my thigh and head like bulls"
THE Buffalo clergy having devoted themselves
to Governor Cleveland. those of Rochester seem
to be "going for" Ex-Governor st. John. He
has been a leading spirit in the temperance
camp-meetings of our State, where the Sabbath
has been esteemed no more sacred than any
other day. but special efforts have been put
forth to make it the most paying day of the
| week"
OF Governor Clevelands real qualities as
''reformer7 no one is likely to know more than
the independent Republicans in the New York
Legislature to whose exertions the passage of
reform legislation is chiefly due. Mr.. Roose-
welt says without an exception all of the in
dependent Republicans who accomplished so
much at Albany during the last two three
years are loyal to the Republican party" Is
there no significance in thisE
MINNEAPOLIS Tribune: For years Indiana
was the prey of Democratic repeaters, ballot
box frauds and fictitious Kentucky colonists,
but those times are practically over. The Re
publicans have learned how to circumvent such
| iniquities and have learned also that the best
| way to win in an Indiana election, is to discuss
| living issues, and convince the people that the
| Republican cause is just. The Democrats have
little better chance to carry Indiana than the
Republicans have to carry several Southern
States
BEFORE Bennett the absentee newspaper
landlord, went to Europe, some friends asked
him if he would not stay home to vote mo-"
he said. "the election is all settled. Cleveland
has got it" Going, however, with celebrated
Wesleyan Jesuit to California Bennett return
ing, said to some of the same friends; 81 had
| no idea there were so many Blaine men out
81 guess this election is settled, and Blaine will
| go in" 'Why don't you take the names of
Cleveland and Hendricks down. them" Don't
see how it can be done just now"
Boston Journal There is always a wheel
within wheel 1t is said that Beecher has
cherished a strong antipathy against Mr. Blaine
for having given an opinion regarding him during
the trial. Mr. Blaine, 1t is reported, was pres
ent during one day of the trial when Beecher
fhae and and a yl,oiT
him gathered from his remarks that he did not
think Mr.. Beecher quite the lamb that he
| was represented The interview was reported
| in daily paper very highly colored, no doubt,
but Mr.. Beecher never forgave Mr.. Blaine. Now,
| like Christian minister, he does not propose to
let UP him.
INDIANAPOLIS letter in the Pittsburg Dis
patch close inquiry from the best sources
shows that the whole Democratic State organi-
cation is feeble and incompetent Even at this
late day the party is not fully organized through
| out the State and the campaign managers are
| quarreling among themselves. | have devoted
| week to gathering of facts tending to throw
light on the political situation, and my solemn
conclusion is that if the Democrats of Indiana
win this election it must be by inherent strength
and despite their leadership. 1t is very doubtful
| if they can do So The members of their cam
paign committee are not confident
The Rev. DR.. Van Bokkelen of Trinity
Church. Buffalo, Indignantly denies the charge
by which the Rev. James Freeman Clarke has
laid great store, that he intends to vote for
| Cleveland. He writes to the Buffalo Courier:
| Il am Republican and have been from the
| beginning and have never hidden my light
under bushel. honor the record of the Re
publican party, and see no reason to leave its
| ranks now, when its success is more important
| to the prosperity and progress Of the Nation
| than at any period since the war of the rebellion
Instead of supporting Grover Cleveland and
my two sons will, if living on Nov 4, cast our
ballots for Blaine and Logan"
THE Rev. Dr. Daniel Dorchester, one of the
great leaders of the temperance movement in
this country, says: For the present my duty
clearly lies with the Republican party If vote
as pray in the pending contest 1 must vote
with that party, for to my mind can do more
good for humanity and for the country by acting
with them than with the prohibitory party"
The Rev. A. G. Upton of Norwich, N. Y, says
81 cannot consent to defeat as Prohibitionist
and Republican at the same time No political
action that | could perform this fall would seem
| to me so perncious to fail to do all can to
keep Grover Cleveland from the presidential
chair" The Rev. DR.. B. D. Peck of the same
place says: 'In voting for the Republican par
ty l vote for national prosperity. l vote against
poygamy. | vote against bulldozing and shot
gun policy in the South vote against liber-
tinsm in the White House. vote for liberty
and righteous government; in short vote as l
