Political Notes.
1t will not be denied that Mr.. Clevs-
lands candidacy is attended with une1-
pected endorsements. The detection
of democratic workers who felt that
some better known partisan should
have been nominated, the opposition of
the working classes, the hostility of
Tammany Hall, the candidacy of Gen.
Butler, and last, though by no means
the least, tho scandals concerning the
Governors private character, are among
the things that have created thi, en-
barrassment, and are the causea that
induce the Sun and other papers to adj
wise change Of front in the presence
of the enemy.
Mr.. Cleveland has not strengthened
himself in his letter of acceptance.
His opponents have criticised this docu-
ment most numerically, and his friends
have found it difficult to defend. The
country was disappointed in the pro-
duction. 1t was not exactly what the
people had right to expect. He was
the last Of the four candidates to write
his acceptance, and therefore he had an
advantage over his competitors, but he
seems not to have improved it Buff

The sneers of the Democratic press
oven the promptness with which Mr..
Blaine institutes legal proceedings
against the defamers of his character,
are entirely in keeping with the course
Of these journals in defending Gov.
Clevoland's immorslities. Keep right
en-, gentlemen. The voters of this
country have mothers, wives, daugh-
tors, and they will be prepared a few
weeks hence to express practical
opinion Of the party that defends a
lecher and libertine, and sneers at a
man who chooses to defend the honor
of his family. Many of those who
are husbands realize that their wives
may some day be widows and their
children left fatherless, and it remains
to be seen what opinion these men have
of the party that upholds the mon
strous doctrine that because a woman
is "only o widow" she has no honor to
be violated Rockingham Transcript.
The sure way to maintain protective
duties is to keep tho Republican party

The portrait Of jeff Davis will not
appear on any of the new national
