Gen. Claws Reasons.

The announcement some days ago that
Gen. Cassius u. Clay, Of Kentucky, had
announced his intention to vote for
Blaine did not create a very profound i'm
preston. 1t prov oked a few thousand
smiles on the faces of those who knew
this distinguished crank's character, but
nearly all the younger people only read
the item disInterestedly and languidly
asked "WhO the deuce is Clayf"
The General showed that he did not in
tend to be-a deadhead in the Republican
enterprise, and he at once began to fur
nish campaign literature to be distributed
abroad throughout the Northern States.
His attempt to wave the bloody shirt ap-
pears extremely ridiculous. In a recent
interview he declared in favor Of a high
protective tariff and gave his views rather
candidly on the subject Of the re-enslave-
ment Of the negro race. He said:
notice that in the South to-day the old
feeling exists which caused the war in
1861. If the Democrats get into power
with the solid South they may appoint
Judges who viii reverse laws as uncon-
stituional which now protect the poor
blacks Of the South. The Shareholders
would then demand paw from the govern
ment for their negroes and get it. This
would perhaps cause a revolution in the
North. The South would have the advan-
tage. The conditions OF 1861 would be re-
Versed. The North would be in poor condi-
ton to act. l am alarmed at the present
political feeling in the South. | think the
safety Of the country can only be insured
by the defeat of Cleveland. / shall do
what l can TO influence the people with
this doctrine during the campaign.
Those who are familiar with Gen. Clay's
history in conn ection with the negro race
will appreciate his reasons. He has
probably killed or injured more negroes
than any other man in kentucky. His
political record is far from being above
suspicion. He was once United States
Minister to Russia, and behaved so badly
that he had to be recalled. 1t is said that
even the not prescriptions Car was
astounded at his looseness.
The whole Republican party appears to
share in his alarm about the South, and
not only about the South but the East, the
North and the West. There is no doubling
that revolution is pending at the ballot
box against the corrupt party that has
been in power for the past a years. AS
to his talk about demand by the South
erners for the payment of the value of the
slaves freed as result of the war, there
is probably no other man in America
whether sane or a lunatic-who will agree
with him. 1t is very probable that this
statement Of Gen. Clay was made more
with the idea Of creating a sensation than
of making capital for the 'grand old
party" But so far as the negroes are con-
cerned their interests are safer in the
hands of the Democrats and Southern peo-
pie than in those Of the Republican party.
Gen. Clay does not believe what he said,
or if he does believe it, he is either luna
tic or a donkey.

bachelor as he was, he gave there the last
two or three winters were noteworthy
even in this city of expensive entertain
ments for their gorgeous spreads" il
his bachelor quarters prove too confined
for benedict, he will doubtless get an
increase Of allowance from his father so
that he can keep up a grander establish
ment when he returns from Europe, where
he has gone on wedding tour.
Arthur Leary's recent reception at
Newport was so loudly cOmplimented in
the local papers that it recalls to my
malicious memory the story which used
10 be told about him when he was a young
man and first went in society" He is
the son of one OLeary, halter of some
reputation in his day, who has long since
gone to his rest, and, as the story goes,
he was in the habit of examining the
mems hats in the dressing room at recep-
lions TO see whether the owners were
among his fathers customers! d.

The people of Frederick, Nd, are pre-
pairing to celebrate the meeting of Bishops
Coke and Asbury, who embraced and
kissed each other in the chapel at that
place hundred years ago. Asbury. IN
der Wesley, was sent over from England
as pioneer in the great revival move
ment that finally crystallized into the
Methodist Episcopal Church. Afterwards
he sent DR.. Coke to assist in organizing
the work more comp letely. Here they met
for the first time, and with their CO.
workers agreed to hold the first confer
ence in the city Of Baltimore, Dec. %,

was then and there organized. The CEN
tennial Of the meeting Of the Bishops and

The tenor Of all Gen. Buffers speeches
is to glory in his record. Here is what
the New York Sun thought of him few
years ago: "Rejoicing in his own shame
and coming money from open yenality,
discarding any pretense of principle,
bound by no ties of honor, soothing at re-
ligion, making politics a trade, despotic
when clothed with authority, cowardly
by nature, mercenary from habit, and
destitute Of one ennoblng quality for
manly attributes to lift him up above
these wretched characteristics" Now
the same San, edited by the same Dana,
is the most outspoken supporter of But
Ter, who has in nOwise repented of his
misdeeds or made restitution to those
whom he wronged. He is yet revelling
in his ill-gotten wealth, and his very can
didacy is proof of the SUMS assertion
that he is ''bOund by no ties of honor"
To what depths has the Sun fallen to sup
port such mani
