POLITICAL DRIFT.

oswego Times and Express: The Demo-
Gratis are in favor of tariff for revenue ex-
clusively for the benefit of England.

has been released on bail. The Democrats

for them.
Boston Herald Buffers purpose is TO
beat Cleveland and break up the Republican
party, hoping 10 erect a Ben Butler party on
its ruins.
Cleveland Herald: The gray gelding B.
F. Butler, should not trot so many heats
thus early in the season. He is likely to get
stale before the big event.
indianapolis Journal cleveland and
corruption" is not only musically allitera-
of being true to life.
indianapolis Sentinel: The Democrats
have discovered that the people want free
trade, and it is on Just that issue that they
are going to win the the election in Indiana.
Philadelphia Call: The World saws,
"Logan has lost his head" II would be
money in Democratic pockets if Cleveland
could find it and substitute it for his own.
Rochester Post-Express: The working
men believe in the protection of American
labor, and they are not going TO imperil
their Interests by selecting free-trade pres
ident.
Cleveland Leader: The great fire of Sun
day night was bad enough, but the Demo-
cratic principle of free trade, carried into
execution, would do Cleveland more damage
than many such catastrophes.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette: Now if
Carl Schurz had only gone to Augusta and
told the people of that city what he knew
about the Mulligan letters, Blaine's neigh
bors might have refused 10 endorse him so
generously on the sth inst.
New York Sun: After Vermont, next in
their disappointment and despair Democrats
turned to Maine and staked all their ready
means on the home Of the Plumed Knight.
But Blaine proves no "deadhead' in Maine,
where he has MANY personal rivals; and
now what next! Let Grover Cleveland
modestly retire, and let the Democrats adopt
Butler, or take up Hendricks. Thurman,
Bayard, or Randall, and all may yet be saved
Washington Critic: Joe" Pulitzer, who
publishes" two papers, both "daily," one
Of them being the New York World, has
several times in that PAPER Indignantly de-
MED that Jay Gould owned dollar Of the
stock of the World. Well, that is true, but
will Mr.. Pulitzer deny that George Gould, a
son of jay Gould, owns majority of the
stock or bonds of the World-in fact that he
holds the World as tightly in his grip as
ever Jay Gould held the Erie Railroad.
South Bend Register: The tariff was the
issue in Maine, and protection won. II is
the issue in Indiana, and protection will win
here. Our free workingmen cannot afford
to compete with the pauper labor of En-
gland.
New York World: Mrs. Lockwood is not
the first female candidate for the presidency
Victoria Woodruff was the original in that
direction, and Widow Butler, like Rarkis,
has been willin' any time for half century
past.
Burlington Hawkeye: Carl Schurz wears
more shirts than any other man in America.
At least we read somewhere that he changed
his politics every time he changed his shirt.
His wardrobe must look like Chinese
laundry.
Kansas City Journal: As ST. John gets
$50 per night for advocating his own cause,
it is to his interest to keep the ball rolling.
As financial venture it is the best thing
the Kansas apostle has struck since he lost
his grip on the railroad companies.
Louisville Courier-Journal: The tariff is
sue must not be lodged in this campaign, as
the New York World seeks to do. 1t ought
to be put to the front and the fight made on
the line laid down by Mr.. Morrison. If an
attempt is again made change front in the
face of the enemy the results may again
prove disastrous.
Washington Critic: The next time the
Republican Independents serenade the coy
damsel of Democracy by singing under her
window that tender and romantic ditty,
"Will you walk into my parlors
Said the spider to the fly
there will be rafting of crockery and
smashing Of powder-bups around the heads
of the wsrbling Democrats.
