The Washington Republican notices
that up to last accounts Mr.. Blaine has

strongly opposed to Mr.. B!aine's NOM

eminent to the solid South.
The revolt Of honest Prohibitions

voting for St. John to help Cleveland.
Rochester N. ~ Democrat.
Four years ago a syndicate of man
ufacturers at Bradford, Eng, sent
$3.50, 900 to the Democratic managers to

If the American leaders of the
Democracy had been sharp they would
have plastered up the mouths Of the
English free trade press, and shut up
their open advocacy of Cleveland and
his party. 1t has done good bit Of

the proceedings printed in a German
paper, saying to rem0nstrants: Let
the Germans who can't read English
get an interpreter" SIS

President Seelye'S disgust for CleYe-

Carl Schurz showed by his manner,
his appearance, and even by the words

looked as lugubriouS as it he were the
typical just man overwhelmed by I'M
merited mist fortunes. As he gazed
