GROWING TOO SOON.

The New York Tribune scorufully asks :
" W here WAS Grover Cleveland during the
war 2 We viii venture the assertion that
he was not hiring substitute to represent
him on the field OF battle. ~ Jim Blaine did,
nor was he running away from the ding oil
muskeiry, rs We understand. unon the tes-
timony of Gen. sherman. the editor OF the
New York Tribune did.-Chiesgo News.
The foregoing is from the Kansas
Democrat of last Friday. and we have
all seen ii'hoating around" Well. on
the day The Democrat was issued,
Stephen q. Cleveland Date hangman
of Erie county. New York; was nomi-
mated for the presidency by the DEM
oeracy. and Saturday mornings Chi
cago papers. Times. Tribune and In

of Cleveland. as furnished by Boss

also drafted. and promptly furnished
substitute,
HIS ties at home were slight. lie
was not married. and had no group of
little ones depending on him for sup
port. He had been admitted 10 The

the important Office of Assistant
Prosecuting Attorney for Erie county,
When Blaine was drafted il was nn-

THE PLATFORM.

The platform adopted by the Re
publican party of Kansas last Thurs
day in Topeka. contains two promi-
nent planks. One of these planks de-
mands obedience 10 the constitution
and laws of the state. The other as
serts the right of the law making
power of the state To regulate rail-
roads and TO control all corporations.
The one dcnounces the usurpation OF
the judicial functions by the eXecu-
tive; the other says give the railway
commissioners more power. The
one, in effect, says so long as
prohibition is the will of the
majority, that no minority, however
formidable, shall trample down that
will, and the declaration involves the
very genius, the very foundations of
American government and liberty. TO
have ignored at this time doctrine of
such prominence would have been
cowardly, TO contradict would have
been treason. No patriot. no good
citizen, can deny the truth and entire
soundness of the first proposition
laid down in the so-called prohibition
plank II does not deny the right to
re-snbmit nor even 60 50 far as TO claim
that prohibition is ~or has been
a success, but it says that ii stands
there as the solemn declaration of the
people, legally and formally made, and
that. therefore it must be respected
and obeyed by citizens and officers as
well, so long rs il shall stand unrepral-
ed. There is only one way 10 get rid
of obnoxious laws, and that is by their
legal repeal in response 10 the demand
Of the majority of the people. No
good citizen of free government
where the will of the ina lority is law,
would pretend to deny that there was
any other way or that he should.desire
any other way.
The Democrats VIII how! thai the
plank referred 10 denies the right of
re-submission. and declares the pro-
hibitory law success, but il docs
neither; only simply demands that the
will Of the majority Of the people,
without regard TO party, shah be re-
spected. The Democrats say that the
minority, headed by Il governor who
usurps the power of the courts, may
trample the will of the majority under
their feet. This false and dangerous
doctrine is entirely denied.
The majority will Toe heard from in
and in its ranks will be
found the law-abiding, home-loving,
true, sober and conscientious citizen. |

The English press continues TO groan
over "the unwise nominations of
Blaine and Logan" They can not see
any free-trade and English rights in
their success. And the English press
are about right. Blaine and Logan
were nominated in the interest of the
people who are in favor of protection
to every industry nj home. and in
favor of protecting every American
citizen in his just rights both at home
and abroad.

Mr.. Cleveland is not old. but he has
lived at the public teat with pretty
firm hold. He first ran for district at
torney of Erie county, New York. and
was defeated. lie then ran for sheriff
and was elected, and hanged two men.
lie was afterward elected mayor OF
Buffalo, and then governor of New
York. He is no spring chicken in the
Office line. His spurs stick out too
long and sharp TO pass the committee
on that class of fowls.

Sinking Artesian wells.

The Atlantic & Pacific railroad last spring let contract to R. P. Hall. of Albuquerque, for boring at Aubry station, west of Ash Folk Mir. Hall has informed the Albuq' rque Journal that ,hev have now reached depth of o75 feet and found water. Just as they reached the water they were compelled to stop, d as yet no one knows Tn what quantity water will be found, but this wilt soon be demon. strated, as work will resume as soon as a new sand valve can be rec eived from the manufaCtory. which will not be more than ten days r,ore Mr.. Hill says, however. that his superin tendent, who Is an old ar,e ian we'll man, tells him that there is every in. dica;ion that they will strike fine supply of water soon. as they have been going through an almost solid body of slate for nearly 500 feet.
 The water already iourd is of a superior quality, and it can be found Tn an inexhaustahle quantity, will prove a bonanza for the Atlantic & Pat fife, as they exprience great dit faculties in getting good water f,r use on the line. If this we'll develop, the fact that there is a body of good water underl, ing Arizona, the com pany will continue the work of sink ing artesian wells, until they have 8 sufficient number along the l,ne to dc away with the necessity of hauling water in tank cars and distributing Il at the various stations.
 Mir. Hall brought in and left will the chief engineer about forty speci mems ofthe various formations througi whii h trey have passed. They com pose almost every specie of rock, ex- cept the mall,ais, the prevailing klnd being quartz. water crystal, Colore' quarts, marble. sandstone and slate The specimens brou Int in will be clas sihed and tubed and so arranged a To show the various strata and at wha depth they were passed through and will be kept on exhibition at rh general office.

It is rumored that B. F. Butler will run for ihe Presidency Cn the nomi ration he has received already. Whether or no the Independent Republican movement, and the Pro. hibition, will take from Blaine as many votes as Butler will from Cleveland. IS a matter open to dcubt. As to the comparative fooiishness oi the followers of St. John and of him who cleaves to Butler, there is not much room to doubt. Both are very silly fellows.

HENDRICKs ss. CHANDLER.

The campaign has opened unex- pectedly with debate between the Democrats candidate fir the Vice Presidency and the Secretary of the Navy. In a speech at Indianapolis on Sunday. Mir. Hendricks remarkt d that a dedication had been found to exist in the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery of s63, ooc; that in the course of an investigation by Senate Com
 mittse, Mir. Chandler had testified that he had received q letter year ago informing him of "some of these outrages, and that short time since somebody had come to him and told him that there were frauds going on in the service, but that members of Congress had recommended the con. tinuance of the head of the bureau with such earnestness that he thought it must be all right. Now, said MT. Hendricks, what is the remedy Why. "to have a President tha, will appoint head of the bureau that will inves. tigase the condition of the books and bring all the guilty parties to trial. '" NIT. Chandler has replied to this by a letter in which he says that the defal. cation went back to June 2I, 1880 {; that the first he knew of the frauds was in December or January last; that he at once determined to and actuall. did discharge pr. Wales. the chef oi the bureau, and Corrigan, the chi, clerk, notwithstanding strong D.m
 ocratic petition for Dr. Wales reten
 tion. NIT, Hendricks. in reply to all this, says that if the defalca,ions welt back to 1880, it involves Mir. Chand ler's predecessor in office, but does not help Mir. Chandler; further, that Mir. Chandler misrepresents his own testimony, because before the Senate Committee he testified that after in- ves,igation he concluded that nothing need be done and MT. Hendricks continues that the frauds were actually discovered by Wood, a government detective As Mir. Chandler's tes,i' mony isnot at hand, We cannot verify the different accounts of it here giver, but it Is safe to say, that even if Mir
 Hendricks was not accurate, there !. no dispute about the main fact, which Is the dedication and loss of s6s, 1000

BLAiNE's letter of acceptance Is hirdly confirmation of the old adage that the longest way round is the nearest way hone. He employs a wondrous multiplicity of words in in forming the Rump of the Republican party that he, like Barkis, is willin'. The document is voluminous rather than luminous and fatigulng rather than edifying. The English language has been enriched by words from so many languages, ancient and modern, that verbosi,y is natural result with many people wh" are not even politi clans. The Kennebec statesman letter of acceptance rivals an old wife. 'a'e in its devious meander,ngs and feeble beatlngs about the bu-h but having started in to write voluminou' annals of his times the P. k. must b. indufged in yanking his prolixity into politics.

 The ladies of Flagstaff turning out in urge numbers to hear the eloQuence of Col. l.. F. Eggers, of Prescott, who had kindly consented to stop on lis way to Sr. Johns and address the club. It being the regular meeting night of the Democratic Club, the, convened and adjourned to listen to the Republican address. he Colonel oper cd by paying handsome tribute to Flagstaff and i,s attractive surround ,ngs and then launched of with a cloud of eloquence, endeavoring to show up the Democratic party as rebels. seCessionists, sown and gath !, cred in corruption, and other epithets too numerous to mention. He said corrup,ion.in in office was caused direct 'ly byiahe corruption of the people, as such officers were just what the people made them. He didn't apply this to the corruption of high officials in the Republican party, but his hearers can draw their own inference Col. Eggeis is an earnest. fluent speaker. and evidently believes with his party .in.,he unit fate:so far as aAunting the 'bloody shirt" .S concerned. We have not the space to follow him through his argument, but as yet we have not heard of any democrat chang ing his political views who heard him. He is the first Republican speaker to visit us in this campaign, and was successful in pleasing the members of his party. We hope to hear him again Uefpre the campaign closes.
