The Baltimore american tries to be face
tious. 1t says: at would be very inter
esting indeed to see Cleveland as he per
forms the remarkable feat of standing Sc
curely on the tariff plank, with Watterson
Hurd and Hewitt tugging away at one end
and Randall, Findlay and their colleagues
perspiring at the other end" 1t will be
seen at glance that, even according to
the AmerieGa's prejudiced showing, from
the great disparity of the forces arrayed a,
either end, the tariff plank must necessa
ry be entirely staunch and steady; for with
such firm hearts, clear heads and steady
hands as those of Watterson, Hurd and
Hewitt at one end, the false Randall and
the weak Flndlay will "perspire" at the
other in vain in their efforts to render il
unsteady. But to the names of Watterson,
Hurd and Hewitt might have been added
those of Carlisle, Morrison, Cox, Bayard,
Lamar, Pendleton, Springer, Holman and
Tucker and hosts of Others, while no rein
fSrcements can be brought to the perspir-
ing Randall and Findley, unless it be the
cratic 'old disturber Charles A. DANA
When to this great disparity between the
contending forces there be added the hea-
Wy weight of Cleveland on top it will be
seen that the tariff plank will indeed be
firm and secure.

Now to this balance Of 1891 46 must

of 81 1921 46 to deiray the court expense
from July, 1888. to January 1st, 1888. by
reference to the statement as published 1t
will be seen that the aggregate OF all ex-

1888, to July 1st, 1884 was $2,151 81

From the aforegoing considerations
becomes apparent that the normal rate @

and show and education should pretend
to be the laboring mans friend, and then
went on to explain how his wealth and
luxurious style of living and great educa-

never seen that the press has ever charged
Benjamin with any very great depth OF

Nothingism which has been so certainly
fastened upon their candidate in retaIia-
ton tor their mean effort to inject secta-

deavor in vain to explain away the fact
that Mr.. Blaine's paper, the Kennebec

active editor, was the accredited organ of
the Know Nothing party in the State of

effort to 'plead the baby act'' In behalf of

pushed before the battle has fairly opened.

the utmost confidence in the election of

midable numbers throughout the rural
