1t is serious thing to live under the
conditions that now exist. In our own per
sons it is grave thing to live and to die; to
WELD influence for good or for evil, and finally
to lay off the souls wrappings and enter
naked upon another world. 1t were well if
at times, we would escape from the 'fun"-
makers, from the testers and scofers, and give
a moment to the contemplation of serious
things To the American citizen there ought
to be inspiration in the thought that he is a
citizen of the greatest republic the world ever
knew; that he is factor in its affairs, that
the ballot he casts assists in shaping
the destiny of a nation of nearly
60, 100000 people. 1t is a grand thing
to be citizen of the United
States, proud privilege to assist in its gov
eminent. Again, the most serious duty of
citizenship is about to be performed in the
nomination and election of chief magistrate.
It is time when the American citizen may
well reflect, strip himself of prejudice and pas
sion, and perform his part in the work with
that deliberation and conscientiousness that
its nature demands The election Of 1894
should be characterized by dignity, delibera-
ton and wise discrimination. This done,
there need be no fear of the result; good men
will be chosen and the nation will go on its
safe career

We commend to the public for careful

THE DAY AFTER THE BATTLE.

We got by telegraph last night some
interesting and suggestive notes on the
political situation. The most important
item is that the Independent Republi-
cans receive Cleveland with open arms.
But this had been confidently anticipat-
ed, and we only refer to it now as an ac-
complished fact, lest. for lack of this SUBJ
stantial emphasizing, III Republican
friends may still fail to comprehend.
They will, of course, 60 on up to the
day of the election saying: 'eThere's
nothing in it." but they will speak here
after against the evidence of their senses
in thinner tones.
Gov. Cleveland's address to the seren-
aders is very graceful, well timed and
eloquent in its wholesome truthfulness.
1t shows that he understands himself in
the candidacy; that he is a man of
clever sense, being able to say the proper
things well and to leave unsaid whatever
might be thought ~unbecoming him in his
present very conspicuous attitude before
the entire people of the country.
The Ohioans are deeply grieved over
the defeat of Mr.. Thurman. They are
waiting to receive him and treat him to
the balm of home love and admiration.
This is proper and becoming; 80, also, is
the indignation Of the Democracy Of
Ohio against Gov. Hoadley, who, by his
apparent egotism and obstinacy. persist
ed in . hopeless candidacy for President,
thereby depriving Mr.. Thurman Of his
opportunity, for had not Mr.. Hoadley
split the Ohio vote the California boom
might have made Mr.. Thurman a very
