DIFFERENTIATION To- LIE TO THE
BITTER END.

eSteTn hepuDtlcau newspapers says
the Washington Post. and we may add
also Democratic papers, because they
cannot help it very well, are daily
printing alleged special kilograms from
Washington and New York, which
are merely lies, made out OF whole
CLOTH" and probably made in the
offices of the papers in which they ap-
pear. The object of these hctions is to
mitigate the gloom OF the Western Re-
publican situation. As there are no
facts adapted to that purpose. the
INSPIRED liar" is drawn upon for his
best work. One Of the latest OF his
efforts is this, purporting to come from
the Washington correspondent OF q
Western syndicate:
Secretary Post, OF the Democratic
Congressional Committee, does not take
q roseate view OF the situation. de
said to a friend to-day: Cleveland
nomination was q mistake. 1t was made
to catch independent votes. and We
have found that the first to run when
the charges were made against Cleye-
lands character are these very persons
who pressed his nomination so herceiy.
The old-line Democrats, who have been
defeated for p years and always came
up smiling, were deliberately slapped
in the face. Now Cleyeland's friends
are appealing TO US TO save the day.
We will do our best Notwithstanding
all this to win the fight.
Mr.. Post has not said or thought
anything Of the kind. He does not re-
gard C~leveland's nomination a mistake.
In every assertion and suggestion the
alleged telegram is absolutely false.
Mr.. Post and his associates OF the
Congressional Committee find the stu
alton extremely cheerful, and while
they expect to lose a few OF the Congress
sional Districts that really belong to the
Republicans, but went Democratic in
1882 on the tidal wave Of that phenome-
nal year. they confidently look for Dem
ocratic success both as to Congress and
President.
Another Of these inventions, dated in
Washington, and one that is being ex-
tensively copied, is, "a brief cha"
with Senator Kenna, Of West Virginia,
in which that gentleman is made to say,
OF the situation in his State, what he
never thought of saying, and quite the
reverse OF what he actually did say about
the time the ''brief chat" is said to have
occurred. Mr.. Kenna is fully satisfied
that West Virginia will go Democratic,
both in October and November.
A third sample has a New York date.
and goes on to state that:
State Chairman Dan Manning met the
National Democratic Executive Commit
tee in secret session to-day, and while
the actual proceedings are not known, it
is understood that Manning pictured
anything but a bright prospect for Cleve-
land at present.
"The actual proceedings are not
known" but SIT is understood" etc., is
a plausible way OF bringing in a bare
faced lie. At that meeting Mr.. Manning
and his associates were examining and
consolidating reports of a personal can
vass showing that the Independent Re-
publican movement was far more extern
sive than they had hoped for-so ex-
tensive that, in the opinion of the COM
mittee, a Blaine victory in New York is
next to impossible.
These samples will suffice for one day.
They indicate a preconcerted movement
along the whole line-a deliberate deter
mination to audaciously lie the campaign
out to the bitter end.
