a CORRESPONDENT OF the Chicago Jour
nal finds signs and wonders In prophecy
to indicate the election Of Mr.. Blaine, as
follows: "For the past 80 years, with
single exception, the candidate who
stood alphabetically first has been the
successful candidate. Let us glance over
this period little In 1862 Pierce and
Scott were the candidates. The letter
z stands alphabetically before the letter
5. Pierce was elected. In 1856 Buchan-
an, Fremont and Fillmore were the can
didates, and Buchanan was elected. In
1860 the same result would have followed
had not the Democratic party divided
and run two tickets; either Douglas or
Breckenridge, with united party. would
have beaten Lincoln. In 1864 Lincoln
and Mcclellan were the candidates, and
Lincoln was elected. In 1868 Grant and
Seymour were the candidates, and the
former was elected. In 1872 Grant and
Greedy were the candidates, and the
former. according TO the encyclopedia
arrangement, stood first and WAS elected.
In 1876 Hayes and Tilden; and in 1880
Garfield and Hancock In each case the
first alphabetically was the successful
one. And now, in 1891, we have Blaine
and Cleveland, with every prospect of n
like result And If we should wish to
bring Butler into the consideration, still
Blaine stands alphabetically first"

UNDER the head of "Cleveland's Skele-
tom" the st. Louis Chronicle says: SEX
cept for mistakes of judgment, in some
instances having almost the gravity Of
political crimes, Mr.. Grover Cleveland's
brief record in public life is free from
reproach. Not content, however, with
the scrutiny of his public life, to which
he is doubtless willing to submit. many
newspapers have dragged forth into the
light hideous skeleton which they
profess to have found in his private
closet The story Of Maria Halpin, as
told in all its sickening details Of seduc-
tion and shame reads like a page from
the private life OF George ". 1t is hor-
rible-infamous If true, ten times more
Infamous If false. 1t is published not as
n campaign 'roorback' made public too
late for denial or REPUTATION, but at the
opening Of the campaign with names,
dates and details which challenge stten-
ton and demand refutation. While we
have hesitated to publish it In the hope
that the other side would make itself
heard, we do not hesitate to say that the
prima facia case against Mr.. Cleveland
is made out clearly. The ex-parte state
ment Of the case leaves 1t for him to
clear himself Of the charge Of betraying
a young girl who trusted him, OF sending
her TO an insane asylum when she grew
troublesome, of forcibly taking her child
from her and finally of submitting to
blackmail to avoid publicity. These are
all tangible charges, UNANIMOUSLY true or
UNANIMOUSLY false. Mr.. Cleveland car
refute them II they are false, and he
owes 1t to the Democratic party not to
delay further in doing so, now that he
has delayed too long already. II he does
not refute them they will lose the party
many thousand votes. II 1t shall appear
later on that he Is guilty as charged, the
newspaper which fails to hold him up
to the detestation and contempt of its
readers will fail Of its duty"

TnE Democratic papers plastered Mr..

staggering for courage, blasphemy
for wit and violence for political ar
gument." Now where is a single
evidence in the statements SO far
published which takes our editor out
Of the class with which he says him
self he has been training for eighteen
years? If Dougherty's supporters
bear this character, they are proved
to be a majority of the party; there
fore they must dictate its policy;
consequently, to all intents and pur-
poses, they constitute the party, and
Dougherty is fit representative of
that party. Has this party changed
its character within the last two
months? We think not; then for
the past eighteen years Maj. Abrams
has lent his talents and influence to
the support of policy and party he
now condemns. But perhaps the
gentleman has changed his views !.
We hope that the Herald will
hereafter see fit to change it's views
as to Mr.. Dougherty; we are glad
it will support Perry and Mabry,
and we are certainly not one of
those who would deny to any citizen
the right to vote as he may choose.
But Maj. Abrams has hitherto work
ed squarely for the democratic tick
ct, and we think few will believe
that the reasons given are sufficient
to justify his new departure. He
cannot represent any of Mr.. Dough
erty's opponents for these are work
ing valiantly for the nominee; he
surely cannot mean that the whole
party is included in his description
of Dougherty's supporters for he is
still democrat, and surely he does
not arrogate to himself and the mi
nority he represents the right to die.

republicans who Will vote against
Blaine have given their reasons and
quoted the record in support Of
them; we have watched in vain fol
such candor from the Tavares Her
aid. If we are all "swashbucklers'
we are sorry, but certainly the great
majority of us are Dougherty's sup
porters. We thought that Dough
erty's nomination would please es
peciaIly the very men whose absence
from the polls defeated Finley; bu
we have failed to please Maj. Abrams
in any case.

OPPOSITION no DOUGHERTY.

Those outside the republican ranks
who oppose Perry claim to do 50
because Gov. Bloxham wished his
nomination. Whoever had been
nominated at Pensacola must have
stood on the platform which endors-
es Bloxham's administration, and
the whole party IS pledged to the
support of the principles which die
tated that policy. Therefore itmade
little difference who was given the
leadership so far as the practical di-
rection of our course is concerned.
No one appreciates this fact better
than the editor of the Tavares Her
aid, and he shows this by an en-
phatic endorsement of Perry as
shown by an extract reprinted in
this issue. But the same paper has
heretofore opposed Dougherty on
the ground that he was incompetent,
uneducated, of bad moral character
and otherwise untitled to be our
representative. The convention dis.
agreed with him and Dougherty
was nominated. This of course
shifted the attack on those who vot-
ed for the gentleman, and our logi
cal editor followed the line adopted
to its legitimate conclusion when he
says: "There is no use Disgusting

THE TIMES will enter upon the new year
stronger and more prosperous than ever be-
fore in It's hlStory-mOre widely read ana
quoted, more heartily commended, and more
iercely criticized with a more complete or
ganiZetiOn, and an able ssoff of contributors
and with the same independence and fearless
ness that has made 1t successful and powerful
in the past.
THE Times has no party TO follow, no candi-
dates to advance, but will meet every issue, as
ib has ever done, with consistent devotion to
the right, TO honest government, and the pub

that can add value TO a newspaper.
The value Of q newspaper is not in its size or
display, hut in the intelligence and care, the
cOnciseneSs and freshness with which il IS
edited. THE TIMES spends layishly for news
from all parts OF the world, but all It's dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed, in
order to givs the complete news of the day in
the most concise ana attractive shape, and with
il a large variety of entertaining and instruc-
tive reading. The best writers at home and
abroad are employed TO enrich its columns,
and to make II a journal adapted both to the
busy man and TO the leisure of the home cir
Gle, a welcome visitor TO intelligent and honest
citizens OF every political, religious and social
taste.
THE WEEKLY TIMES is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers Of twenty years

and Beauclair, q great commotion was
observed by Capt. Fl. L. White, in the

SHAKESPEARE'S GRAVE.
It's Depth Seventeen Feet---Other Ncy
Facts About It.


From the London AthenBum.
Mr.. Macray recently discovered in the
Bodleian Library an old letter of some
Shakespearean, interest, and Mr.. Halli-
well-Phillipps has just printed it. The
following extract, made by permission
of Mr.. Halliwell-Phillipp contains the
important paragraphs of the letter:
Dear Neddy: very greedily embrace
this occasion of acquainting you with
something which found at Stratford-
upon-Avon. That place l came unto on
Thursday night, and the next day went
to visit the ashes of the great Shakespeare,
which I've interr'd in that church. The
verses which, in his lifetime, he ordered
to be cut upon his tombstone, for his
monument have (sic) others, are these
which follow:
Reader, for Jesus sake fOrbear
To dig the dust enclosed here;
| Blessed be he that spares these stones
And cursed be he that moves my bones.
! THE little learning these verses contain
would be a very strong argument of the
want of it in the author, did not thew
carry something in them which stands
! in need of a comment. There is in this
church place which they call the bone
house, rep0sitor for all bones they dig
up, which are so many that they would
| load great number of wagons. The
/ poet, being willing to preserve his bones
/ unmoyed, lays curse upon him that
moves them, and haveing to do with
/ Clarks and sections. for, the most part q
very ignorant sort of people, he deScends
to the meanest of their capacitys, and
! disrobes himself of that art which none
of his contemporaries wore in greater
! perfection. Nor has the design mist Os
| its effect, for, lest they should not only
! draw this curse upon themselves, but al
| so entail it upon their posterity they
have laid him full II foot deep, deep
| enough to secure him. And to much for
! Stratford, within a mile of which Sir
Robinson lives, but it was 80 late before
! knew that had not time to make
/ him a visit.
