The large crowds of people who have
greeted Mr.. Blaine In New York, Phila-
delphia, and other Eastern cities the
last few days, does not seem to Indicate
that he has lost any of his popularity.
GOVERNOR ST.. joins is making the
most Of his prohibition nomination, and
is as deliberate about issuing his letter OF
acceptance as II he were certain OF
clean majority over all the other candi-
dates.
Tur great American workingman who
struggles along on little more than 81 n
day, will no doubt appreciate the posi-
tion OF that other horny-flshed working
man, MIR. Benjamin Butler, who Is always
attended by colored valet.
Tnr Brennan Banner philosopher puts
q correct estimate on General Butler
when lie says; general Butler Is now
PLAYING the part of an overgrown dema-
pogue. and II the name Is admissible he
Is the leader Of the great family OF mug
wumps."

"flredm Mr.. W. Y. Leader, editor OF the
Dispatch, he, with number OF other
Republicans, have formed club, which
favors the nomination Of Republican
State ticket, and the preservation Of the

can platform: 1--WE recognize the i'm
portance Of sheep husbandry In the
United States, the serious depression
which it is now experiencing and the
danger threatening its future prosperity;
and we, therefore respect the demands
of the representatives OF this important
agricultural interest for readjustment
of duty upon foreign wool in view that
such industry shall have full and ade-
quate protection"
A MANAGER of one Of the leading Buff
falo, New York papers was in Cincinna-
ii few days ago, and In reply to a ques-
ton from Times-Star reporter said: ~
don't think that Cleveland will cary his
own State, county, city, or even precinct
lie has been losing ground ever since he
was nominated, and those who know
him best disrrust him most. His private
record at home Is bad, and the ugly
stories told about him can not be denied
accident, and no one ever thought or
thinks that he has the elements necessa-
ry to make great man. lie was nom
mated for Governor because he was I'M
known and consequently available, and
those were the reasons which influenced
the Democracy at Chicago"
