TheCandidates.

Grover Cleveland, Democratic candidate
for President, is bachelor Al years old,
born at Caldwell N. Y, the son of Pres.
byterian minister, who was a graduate of
Yale college, yet he was never able to
have any good educational advantages.
The large family and small salary, made
it necessary to deny the wish Of the boy
to be sent to an academy, and at IA he
was put into store to be self-supporting
When the family went to Clinton to live,
the boy was sent to school again, but
one more move and the father dying
broke up the household; and Grover
went to New York City as assistant to
his brother in a blind asylum. He did
not like this, and after two years went to
an uncle in Buffalo, who set him to work
editing his stock book. From that he
studied law for four years and remained
as clerk in the same office.
In 1868 he was appointed Assistant Dis
trict Attorney, and three years after was
nominated for the office but defeated. He
served as Sheriff of Erie county, and later
as Mayor of Buffalo, previous to his
election as Governor to New York State.
He is an example of large class Of
Americans, who by virtue of courage,
perseverance and industry has made for
himself a respectable place among bust
ness men. But his eminence politically
is more the result of circumstance, and
of differences in the Democratic party
than Of any personal following he has, or
any qualifications for the supreme office of
State or nation. ap ...
When elected Governor his majority
was due to the fact that 100000 Repub.
licans stayed away from the polls that
day. Men appointed to high positions as
great leaders, have usually some previous
record as legislator, statesmen or soldier,
and at least average ability in scholarly
requirements,
Gov. Cleveland's veto of the bill to re
duce the fare of the elevated railroad to
five cents, showed where his interests and
his sympathies are, Notwithstanding his
own prolonged hard struggle with power
ty. Men his equal can be found in almost
any county, and in nominating him his
party have overlooked as good men, and
snubbed those who were in every way
more able and better fitted for the place.
However, Republicans are not the ones to
grumble, and more eligible candidate
for defeat could not well have been named

Here and there, and sometimes in be-
tween, you will run across parties of
five or six with tin horns and roosters
making things hideous with their noise.
The Palmer and Grand Pacific, are
ablaze with lights, while constant
stream Of fireworks is ascending and
scattering light in every direction.
These houses are the rendezvous for a
large majority of the delegates and
their friends, and as they apparently
have scalped the Tammany scalpers,
they are not at all sparing of their
cheers or speeches.
John Kelley and his braves arrived
with the declaration that it was war,
and that they were loaded to kill. And
such another crowd, it would be hard
to find. Delegates minus an eye, an
ear, or their faces SCARED from many
and bloody battles marched valiantly
behind their leader, while John Kelley
himself, with six days beard on his
face, and white slouch hat, stalked on
up the street. AT almost every corner
there would be a halt, when cries Of
"Speech from John Kelley could be
heard from every direction. This
seemed to be an auspicious advent, but
tonight as the same crowd of toughs
are bidding farewell to this city, the
scene is entirely different. You may
see them on our notorious Sd and 4th-
avenues, gloriously full and sulky.
They do not hurrah to any great extent,
for the nominee, but preserve their dig
nifty like true "braves" as they are.

land. There are Ohio men here who
have been known to bet on the barest
chance of Democratic victory, who
will not venture cent on the chances
Of the present candidate. AS one of
them eaid to me to-day "As usual the
Democrats have done the wrong thing
in the right place. The Republicans
made big blunder, but the Democrats
made d-1 sight bigger one."
At prominent pool room tonight,
there were hundreds Of dollars put up
that Cleveland would not carry New
York by 10000 votes.
But could any of the good reliable
readers of the ENTERPRISE, who now
entertain Democratic notions, have
seen what has gone on here for the past
twenty-four hours, and what at this
hour (midnight) is going on now in the
Democratic ranks, they would flee from
them in holy horror, and thank God for
their delivery. RAMBLER.

Hon. Samuel H. Blake, OF Bangor, a
conservative bushes man, in an address in
that city when Blaine club was formed,
said of the Republican candidate:
"Mr. Blaine has lived among us many
years. All have seen him; many Of us
know him well. He is a man of sound
and vigorous health, a man in the very
prime Of life; a man who has large ac-
quaintance with public men and measures

Advocate: "Mr. Blaine has been teeto-

ought to be good authority as to Mr..
Blaine's temperance standing and we rem
ember that the Prohibitionists themselves
were quoting him as in favor Of their doc
trine during last falls campaign, but now
they are charging him with being a sup
porter of the whiskey ring, and intemper-
ate in his principles and habits. The
charge is unqualifedly false and the only
ground they have for it, that we can hear,
is that on one occasion when he gave a
state dinner to the foreign legation at
Washington, he in Difference to the Gus

nished wine. The propriety of this will
be determined in each mans mind in

Dead in "a Dentists Chair.

Mrs. James Stevenson, of Providence
died last Thursday in dentists chair at
the office of w. II, Heist, of Scranton,
after she had three doses of chloroform
and ether administered during the pulling
of fifteen teeth, The anesthetic was given
by her family physician, DIR. A, Strang.
After the first dose Dentist Heist pulled two
teeth; then another dose was given and
nine teeth were extracted; then third
dose was given, after which five teeth We're
taken out. The startled dentist then real
lied that he was pulling the teeth of dead
woman, Mrs, Stevenson died shortly after
receiving the third dose, She leaves seven
children, the youngest of whom is only
four months old,
The dentist spoken of was formerly a
resident of Bloomsbug. No censure ought
to rest on him, under the circumstances.
