1T Is q tidal wave and 10 mistake
Everybody is crowding to get into
the Cleveland procession.
Mr.. CoNKL1NG's organ in Utica,
the Press, is Out for Cleveland and
Hendricks. The good work goes on.
There are already four Presidential
tickets in the field and not an Ohio
man upon them. This fact is con-
sidered remarkable.
The Irving Hall Democrats of
New York, following the lead of the
county Democracy, have formally
endorsed Cleveland and Hendricks.
Tammany will not act until its meet
ing in September.
SINCE the nomination of Cleveland
Republican journals have ceased
publishing health bulletins from
Grammercy Park. From this it may
be inferred MI. Tilden is enjoying

Presidency. If all the temperance
men of Iowa and Kansas support him
at the polls next November MI.
Blaine will hardly carry those States.
GENERAL LoNGsTREET has been
removed from the United States
Marsbalship Of Georgia. The Gen
eral, like q squeezed lemon, Is Of no
further use and must 20. He will
now probably trim his sails to float
again with the Democratic party.
An exchange thinks that one of
the strongest proofs against spiritual-
ism is that no message has come from
the late Rutherford B. Haye, con-
graduating Mr.. Blaine upon his
nomination and assuring the country
that his heart still bleeds for the
poor African.
Speaking of MI. Blaine's foreign
policy the Boston Pilot says: When
Nj. Blaine vas Secretary of State,
there u ere several American citizens
of Irish birth arrested and imprisoned
by England and kept in prison
without trial and without a di.ect
charge against them; and Nj.
Blaine's vigorous foreign policy"
never extended to their prison doors.
He was very busy with the guano
beds of South America; but the Eug-

IT seems that Lieutenant Lock-
wood and Sergeant Brainard, of the
Greedy party, penetrated further
northward than any of the Pole hun.
tiers known to civilization. They
reached latitude 1924, which is four
miles beyond anything attained by
the English expedition under Mares.
They found a new strip of territory
and named it Arthur Land. Greedy
himself discovered a new body OF
water and named it Hazen Lake.
For these important additions to
Arctic geography we have paid
seventeen lives. Does anybody oe-
lisve that science is recompensed by
the sacrifice.
In former Presidential campaigns
the Democratic party has had ar
rayed against it the most powerful
journalistic intellects of New York
city. The illustrated press has been
especially a vigorous enemy. This
year the case is quite different. The
Democratic standard-b bearer is fortu-
nate in having on his side the ablest
newspapers and the brightest carica-
turists of New YORK. Here is the

In his speech at the recent Blaine
meeting in Boston Senator Hoar re-
pudiated the Chinese plank In the
Republican platform. Said the Sem
ator: II like the Declaration of In
dependence better, but I am sorry to
say that the policy of Chinese ex-
clusion is in accordance with the
opinion Of a large majority Of the
American people. W. must submit
to it till we can convert them" The
people of the West, and of Calito, mia
In particular, will scarcely relish his
frank admission ofone of Mr.. Blaine's
most prominent supporters that the
anti-C Chinese plank Of the platform is
only "submitted" to until Mr..
Rlaine's friends can find IN opportu-
nifty to cheat the people and SET it
aside. The wOrkingmen of the
country will note Senator Hoar's ut
