Political Pointers.
Rochester Post-Express (Dem.)


Cleveland goes to Chicago like the Gar,
surrounded by the assassins OF his prede-
cessor and followed by his own.
[Pittsburg Dispatch Dem.)I
As matter of fact no Republican can
didate in the memory of the present gen.
Grafton has had so good chance Of carry
ing several Southern States as Mr.. Blaine.
indianapolis Journal Rep.)l
The people, the masses, are behind
Blaine They believe in him and in Re-
publicanism; they nominated him above
all others, and above all others will they
elect him.
Philadelphia Telegraph Qnd)l
If the Democratic leaders contiue to call
Mr.. Randall and his followers traitors and
Hessians they will do as much as the Re-
publican leaders to make votes for the Re-
publican ticket.
The New Haven Union has discovered
that the free trade Republican boilers
have respectability, brains and money on
their side" Judas Iscariot had all that,
and yet he was not happy.
Cleveland Leader (RepO
Every man who believes in home policy,
calculated to promote National prosperity,
and who advocates foreign policy capable
of placing the United States in position
of power and influence, will support the
Republican candidates.
Cincinnati Times-Star (Rep)l
If Governor Cleveland, as reported, has
given Professor Perry direct assurances"
of his sympathy with the free-trade fac
tiOn, he would save money and avoid in
finite trouble by at once bidding farewell
to all hopes of reaching the White House.
New Orleans Times-Democrat Dem.)l
1t would be much better if people were
to inform themselves before they under
take to settle such Large questions as that
of finance. Suppose our trader applies
himself to the conundrum: How to raise
revenue without taxing something. A few
years of wrestling with that problem would
make him better acquainted with himself.
IN. Y. Sun Dem.)l
Under Mr. Clevelands administration
the Democratic party in New York has
become weaker and less effective organi-
zatiOn than when he received it's nOmina-
ton for Governor. Mr.. Randall would
make very strong candidate and q first
rate President. But can he be nominated
Would that this question could be an
swered affirmatively!
Detroit Post and Tribune (Rep.)l
The Independent meal has two cats
under it, and the cats are of the same feline
family, albeit one is more directly imported
than the other. One is British free trade
and the other is Democracy = famous
striped and spotted tabbies they are, toe,
lying so innocently still under that meal,
but ready for jump and scratch if any
body kicks the tub. ....
N. Y. Tribune (Rep)l
No one can point to any reforms inaugu-
rated by Governor Cleveland. His mes
sages, as stated by Democratic newspapers,
have been 'crude and dill-considered" They
do not suggest even knowledge of National
affairs, and show nothing original in re-
gard to State questions. All the partisan
measures rushed through the scandalous
Democratic Legislature of 1883 were ap-
proved by the Governor.
New York Commercial Advertiser Rep.)l
A man may rightly enough refuse to act
with either party, and so become, in the
true sense of the word, an Independent !;
but to pretend to act with party, to take
part in its councils and conventions, to
vote upon and approve its symbols of doc
trine, and yet, in the end. to refuse to
its decisions as to candidates because there
are other candidates we prefer, is to revolt
and to cease to be a party man. 1t is not
independence, but revolution, which may
be and is doubtless very often justified, is
indeed alway justified when certain funda-
mental principles are involved; but it
should accept its true name, and stand by
the colors which it has undertaken to
wave.
