In referring to the vile and slam
derous story put in circulation con-
corning Mr.. Cleveland the New York
World has the following to say: IAN
INSCRIPTIONS and obscure newspaper
in Buffalo has been found to put INTO
print the story that has been boldly
limited at in Blaine organs touching
the former relations of Governor
Cleveland to a woman in Buffalo.
The evident purpose of the gross,
cowardly and unmanly act is to d.
vert attention from the real issues of
the campaign. We can hardly be-
lieve that it has been devised by the
Blaine managers, and yet the Lead
ing Blaine organs of the country
have not hesitated to give vague
credence to the scandal. 1t may not
be out of place to remind these able
politicians that there is a good deal
of animal vivacity IN Mr.. Blaine.
There js a story in circulation con-
corning the record made by him in

Al HOME.

Since his nomination at Chicago,
Governor Cleveland has been the
target ut which the shafts Of envy,
malice and hate have been directed
by his political opponents. Not
satisfied with misrepresentiEg his
political record, they have employed
the pen of aso-called divine to traduce
bis private character aud to hold him
up to the contempt Of all men. In
the face of ali these attempts the
following from the Buff4lo Er-
press possesses more than ordi-
nary significance. It would be
supposed that if Mr.. Cleveland were
IS black as some of his political
enemies have painted him that
Republican journals, published at
his home, would add their testimony
in support of the charges against
him.
Here is what the Buffalo Blaine
organ says: "There are few good
men in Buffalo who will not be glad
to take Governor Cleveland by the
hand and congratulate him on his
distinguished and well-won honor.
'Well-won,' we cay, for whatever
Others may have done In his behalf,
he has himself rendered honorable
and eminent public service, and has
deserved all that a man may deserve
of his party by doing with all his
might, and for the most part unself-
ishIy and with conscientious integri-
ty, the work to which he has been
called. The people of Buffalo have
known MI. Cleveland as one of their I
w0rthiest citizens, one of their man
Hest men, faithful to his clients.
faithful to his friends, faithful to
every public trust. If he We're not a
for office his fellow-towns-
men, almost without exception,
would mol hesitate to say this to him.
But although he is a candidate, and
candidate whom we shall strive
with all our might honestly to defeat,
truth and justice remaining the same,
why should the Express hesitate to
say it now?"

Morning Journal (Ind.): The
Democrats have done better than
their enemies expected. if not as we'll
a. all their friends hoped. But it is
safe to assume they knew what they
wanted. By q curious counterpoise
the two candidates supplement each
ether, for if Cleveland, the New
Yorker, is strong in the West,
Hendricks, the lndianian, is strong
In the East. TO the country at large
Cleveland stands forth as the EN-
bodiment of the Reform idea in
politics; to the Democracy Hendricks
brings the force of party sentiment
ana the memory of q great wrong.
With him in the field and holding
the place he fought in before, the
'old ticket" takes body and life
again. The leader OF 1875 has laid
aside bis harness, but it is taken up
by . maj from his own State.
Grover Cleveland has gone IN his
political life from victory to victory.
He has sincerity if has not depth.
He is honest and he is courageous to
the tips of his anger>nails. There
fore, the ticket is q strong one. 1t is
. ticket all Democrats may unite Oh,
and for which they can give q strong,
pull together In November.

A CHOLERA CURE.

It seems nothing is too hard fol
medical science. apparently, and the
announcement recently made that
pure oxygen is q sure cure for cholera
is reassuring to any anxious people
at the present time. The simplicity
and agreeableness of the remedy will
be appreciated, and even If its appli-
cation does not invariably result in q
cure, its discovery will prompt in
vestigation which may prove its
potency in checking the ravages of
the dread scourge. Its advent into
this mountain region may not be
apprehended, still it is we'll enough
to be prepared for it in the event of
Its appearance. 1t is we'll known
that cholera germs find q congenial
element in filth, and that when by
any means they are conveyed into
foul, decayiDg animal or vegetable
matter. they tructify aud send forth
their death-dealing influence.
Wherever filth abounds, disease
follows, whether among the high
peaks of the Rockies or the low
valleys of the Mississippi. Hence
when medical science has evolved q
remedy which masters the king eff
srourges, it is reasonable to suppose
that the same remedy will be found
efficient in kindred epidemics.
Oxygen gas has been tried with
encouraging results in lung diseases,
and as its effect is immediate and tx
hilarating its use may be greatly ex-

National Democratic COMMITTEES

ALBANY, N. Y, July 29.-The
National Democratic Committee met

1t may be remarked al indicating
the drift OF popular feeling in Indi-
ana that at the ratification meeting
recently held at Indianapolis, the
A~utocrats, q labor organization of
that city. had a torchlieht procession
aud headed with music, serenaded
Governor Hendricks and Hon.
Joseph E. Mcdonald. The signi6-
canoe of the procession and serenade
rests in the fact that the membership
of the Autocrats are mainly the men
who four years ago, as Knights of
Columbia, trained with the Repub-
licans, ana that they were led by the
same man who marshalled them in
1876. Indiana Is safe; ''soap'' will
not give it to Blaine and Logan.

know that the Independent organi>

tical men and backed by q powerful

manner that must prove decisive In

to treat the holt with disoain. If SO,
it will be all the worse for them in
the end. 1t will only prove another
instance of the enduring truth that

An exchange, Independent in poll
tics, thinks THAT the bolt to Blaine
Of . few Democratic Irishmen on the
ground of his stalwart Americanism
and stand on protection is to be offset
BY . bolt Of German Republicans to
Cleveland on account of his prohibi-
ton record. The Cleveland mana
gers, however, must not be too con-
eelted over this grand idea, for it is
confidently expected that the Nor
wegian Democrats are going over to
Blaine because of his out-and-out po-
sition on Swedish turnips. In the
interest of a fair fight we are COM
PEELED to add that the Republican
Italians are going over to Cleveland
because Of the vague and uncertain
stand taken by the Plumed knight
on the number Of firebalis that should
be contained in a Roman candle.
The Democratic Spaniarda are on
the other hand sure for Blaine aud
Logan because Logan and licorice
begin with the same letter, while the
Scottish Republicans are to a man

MI. David Davis, it is now stated,
has been tempted to get off the his
toric fence he has so long sat upon
and to stand upon the Republican
side. MI. Davis has no desire to be
forgotten In the turmoil and excite
Northumberland to a great Presidential
struggle, and evidently has an I'M.
bition to figure further in the
scramble for political preferment.
The gentleman, doubtless, has been
made to see q fat foreign mission in
store for him in the event of Blaine's
election, which accounts for his
sudden change of base.

ing satisfactory trading stations
along the Congo river, from its mouth
to STANLEY Pool, 400 miles by river.
When be left the Congo country he

He considers that Gen. Gordon COM

Or should his soldiers refuse to take

cause prevent the plan. Gordon could
cross to Uganda, reach one of stan

Congo. Stanley considers that the

1t is said Mr.. Logan proposes to
exclude from the electoral count all
Southern States in which the votes

tally with the adult negro popula

kick up a foreign war in the event
that he is counted in. The people
who love peace will have to sit down
