What the Editor of the Central Party Organ
Says About Butler.

W La bAS VI OAIC OCAbEthA x dEby Orkau
Says About Butler.
Washington Critic.
The National View of this city is the central
organ of the Greenbackers. 1t opposed the
nomination OF General Butler by the Greenback
party. 1t fought him hard before the party's
convention. Now that General Butler has ac-
cepted the nomination it will support him. The
paper, in its next issue, will come out strong for
Butler. This will be good news for the Repub-
licans. The supporters of the View are men
who, but for their ideas on the currency, would
nearly all be Democrats.
The Republicans expect considerable from
that element They are men who would either
have voted for Cleveland or staid away from
the polls had General Butler not decided to run.
Now 1t is expected that in a majority of cases
they will vote for Butler. all of,which, of course,
will rebound to the benefit Of Blaine.
Colonel Crandell, the editor of the View, said
&c the Critic reporter to-day: 1--WE will take
enough votes from both Blaine and Cleveland to
prevent either of them being elected
There is one thing about Butler he contin-
tinued; nothing can be said against his private
character. He has never allowed the slightest
opportunity for scandal TO be brought about his
name. He viii not see any woman alone. He
never would. He alNNys has had witnesses to
every interview that he has had with a woman"
That is true. 1t is a we'll known fact among
those who know General Butler well that such
has been his course.
HAnd more than that said one of his friends,
who was asked about this by the Critic reporter,
he would never stop in the corridors of the Capt.
tol or anywhere else to talk with a woman unless
some one was with him. They have often tried
to catch him, but Benjamin is sly-devilish

New York Herald, Aug, 10.
Mrs. Mary Stillwell Edison, wife of the invent
or, Thomas Alva Edison, died suddenly at 2 A.
NJ. yesterday, at her late residence at Menlo Park,
N. j. She was ~twenty-nine years of age, and
leaves surviving her three children. The story
Of her marriage to Mr.. Edison is a singularly
strange and romantic one. When he first formed
her acquaintance he was about twenty-five years
of age. He had just invented the chemical tele-
graph, by means of which could be transmitted.
he claimed, on a single wire, three thousand
words a minute. The telegraph, notwithstand-
ing this, however, became subServient to the
Morse system. While working on the chemical
telegraph he employed several young women to
punch the holes in the paper. Among them was
Miss Mary Stillwell. One day he was standing
behind her chair examining a telegraphic instru-
ment.
''Mr. Edison remarked Miss Stillwell, sud
denly turning around. Il can always tell when
you are behind me or near me-
How do you account for tbatP mechanically

miss Stillwell, said Mr.. Edison, turning round
now in his turn and looking his interlocutor in
the face, s.I've been thinking considerable of
you of late, and if you are willing to have me,
I'd like to marry YOU"
You astonish me" exclaimed Miss Stillwell
II never

my proposal, Miss Stillwell, and talk it over
with your mother" Then he added, in the same
off-hand, business-like way. as though he might
be experimenting upon a new mode of courtship.
NLet me know as early as possible, as if you
consent to marry me, and your mother is will
ing. we can be married by next Tuesday,
This was the extent of Mr.. Edison's courtship.

The Blaine Scandal Exploded.

VHIcagO NeWs Ind. Dem.l
The old scandal which has been revived
touching an escapade which Mr.. Blaine is said
to have engaged in back in Kentucky years ago
has suddenly dropped all to pieces. 1t seems
that the scandal originated about fifteen years
ago, with a man by tine name of Knowltoh, who
was then the Washington correspondent Of the
Chicago Tribune. In 1873 Knowlton went to
Blaine's house in Washington and humbly APP
poligized for having started the scandal to
which, he admitted, there was no foundation
whatever. At that time Knowlton volunteered
to do all in his power to prevent the further
circulation Of the cruel libel These facts are
set up to Offset the scandalous charges against
the Democratic candidate for the presidency is
blown away.

forth no fruits meet for repentance. Ny old

Pungent Observations on the Cleveland Sean

Doesn't Lessen the Humiliation

Warsaw Times.
The Cleveland scandal has been humiliating in
the last degree. and the fact that other men.
who have been high in the councils of the gov
eminent in times past. and who occupied prom
inent places in the affections of the people. have
been s'tarred with the same stick, does not tend
to lessen the humiliation. As much as It might
be regretted. should a debauchee and hbertine
ever be elevated to the presideney-yet we are
inclined to believe that even that calamity
would be better, if the fact Of his being such a
ibertine was concealed from the public than
what must follow from the public exposure of
such a man. for such exposure demoralizes and
debauehes public sentiment and public morals to
a greater or less extent.

The latest revised edition of the Cleveland
scandal gives it out that the Governor acknowl-
edged the paternity of the boy to save a eouple
of married friends from domestic trouble. The
next thing will be to account for the resemblance
which the boy bears to the Governor by saying
that the boy was also in the scheme to save the
married friends and that as a baby he
adopted the shrewd device of looking like the
Governor in order to divert suspicion from the
proper quarter.

So long as the Democrats could villify Mr..

They had no regard for the feelings of his family
and friends. nor for decency and honor. But
great fuss and utter loud complaints about the
sacredness Of private reputation, and SO on. The
Vulnerability of Cleveland, and the manner in
which his reputation for morality is being at
tackled, is unprecedented in the case of a presi-
