THE New York World, which has
proved itself to be the brightest and
most trcnchant of the Democratic
organs OF the United States, estimates
Cleveland's majority in New York
county at 60, 900 and in the county OF
Kings at 10000. With the great de-
lection from the Republicans in West
ern New York to the Prohibitionist
ticket and the GOODNESS OF the stall
warts in Central New York, Cleve
land and Hendricks ought to receiv,
an unprecedented majority in the
Empire State. The World is ON the
spot and ought to know what ii is
talking about.

WHEN the Republican County Con
vention threw over Sheriff Currier tc
take up new and unpopular candi'
date for what is regarded as the lead
ing office in Los Angeles county it was
felt, irrespective of party, that the
game had been given away for the
whole ticket. Such capital blunder
was naturally followed by Others, and
the result has been the weakest Re.
publican ticket ever presented for the
suffrages OF the people of Los Angeles
county. In consequence, there is a
universal note of local Democratic
victory in the air-a circumstance
which is highly auspicious for the ma
tional ticket.

THE Democratic rally at headquar-
ters last night was scene of ebullient
enthusiasm and the large attendance
showed that the masses are thorough
ly responsive to the able presentation
of the issues of the day by the Demo-
cratic orators. Mr.. Stephen NJ.
White made a resonant and eloquent
speech, and he was followed by Col.
John F. Godfrey in one OF his char
acteristic and taking addresses.
"The stars fight for Sisera,' and
everything, including the magnifi-
cent demonstration of last night, CON
spires to show that the trend of popu-
lar sentiment is towards the Demo-
cratic party.

ONE OF the most amusing and one
of the feeblest efforts Of the campaign
of the Republicans is the attempt to

the present incumbent Of the office of
County Clerk. The EreHiHg Express,

The Attacks on Major Calkins.

Col John s. Williams, Democrat in Lafayette Times.
The Democratic attacks on Major Calkins, the
Republican candidate for Governor are too
thin and too gauzy to merit any attention So
far as his mortgage to the school fund is con
cerned, Major Calkins declares his readiness to
pay any deficiency as soon as it is ascertained
and he is the man to do it As to the removal
of Mrs. Duncan, the postmstress at WestvilIe
there is very little out of which the Democrats
can make any capital 1t is great cry and little

A4Reminiscence of The School Days of the
1i. Republican Candidate.
Colfax Chronicle.
Mr.. s. K. Richards, county surveyor for Tip
pecaneo county, attended school to Mr.. Blaine
in some of his early teaching days, and he has in
his possession an essay written by himself with
MIR. Blaine's criticism attached. This criticism
clearly defines his train Of thought in those days,
and bespeaks his ideas Of those traits of charac-
ter that should characterize the true gentleman,
1t is the following out of this principle, con
nected with other points of integrity, that has
so distinguished him among men.
Mr.. Richardss essay was entitled 'eThe Gen
teman, in the course of which he said "a true
gentleman deems every person better than him
sell, and is one who abandons all selfish motives
and endeayors to promote the welfare of 9TH
ers." Mr.. Blaines criticism was: There is one
sentiment in your essay in which | cannot con
cur, You say; The true gentleman deems
every person better than himself. This /
cannot think; his politeness and difference
should make him appear as if he held modest
position--but still he should have correct
knowledge of his own ability and his own sta
ton, and also Of the respect due him from
others. This feeling is not conceit or self-es-
TEEN, but a stconfdence in self.

some friend who embarked with the editor in
the hopeless task Of reforming the Democratic
party 1t is evident that no man was ever less

the fight, and distinguish himself by the fierce

this; and, as the independent movement has
every day less to go upon, the editorial conduct
