PREsIDENTIdL CANDIDATES.


''Now by St. Giles, the work goes bravely
on Another presidential candidate is in
the field; the last in nomination being wo
man! Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood, reputable
and prominent practitioner of law in Washing
ton City, has been put in nomination for the
Presidency by ''The Womans National
Equal Rights Party'' in a convention as
sembled in California. Mrs. Lockwood
promptly accepts the nomination, and in her
letter of acceptance, tells what she will do if
elected with an explicit of detail equal to old
Ben Butler in his letter of acceptance. If
elected she promises an earnest effort to pro-
mote and maintain equal political privileges
for every class of citizens irrespective of
sex, color or nationality. VIII seek to in
sure fair distribution of public offices to
women as well as men. Favors protection to
American industries. Is in sympathy with
working men and working women, who are
organized against free trade for the purpose
of rendering the working classes of our coun-
try, comfortable and independent. Is in
sympathy with the soldier and soldiers wild
ows, and favors an increase of pensions. Is
opposed to monOpolies, especially the mono
opoly of votes and offices by men. She is in
full sympathy with the temperance advocates,
and that she may not ALLEVIATE the German
vote she slyly and wittily says: ''Due con-
sideration will be given to the interests of
the honest, industrious home loving Ger
mans" thus dealing out heavy dig at dema-
gogqes of the Butter stripe.
Numerous other statesmanlike points are
presented, and principles are avouched a la
Butler. There is no doubt when elected,
she will faithfully perform all her promises,
and will not like many slippery politician
go back on her supporters.
1t is too bad for Susan B. Anthony, and
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, to withhold their
powerful influence from their sister, and be-
stow their sulfrages on that shabby politician
''Blaine, Of Maine" What shocking trav-
esty on the patitudes of such dem
agpgues as Blaine and Butler is Mrs.
Lockwoods keen and satirirical letter
of acceptance. Mrs. Lockwood says her an
ti-monopoly and civil service policy is fun
ny, and that her Indian policy is ''good sound
sense" l make u bid, she says for all voters.
l wish Germans, temperance people, monop-
olists, anti-monopolists, capitalists and la
borers all to support me. did not know
how to get around the Germans because Of
| intemperanee and so | said: due consider
alton will be given 10 honest, industrious,
home loving Germans We now have a for
midable array of Presidential parties and can
didates in the field. There are eight parties,
and six Presidential candidates. Mr.. Ben
Butler has to be cut up, and divided into
three parts, to represent three parties.
Never in the past, not even in the Presi-
Dental scrub race of 1924, have we had
such an array of Presidential candidates as
| in this year of grace 1884. We may never
have another such an array and it behooves

This is really President manufacturing
nation. No sooner does a man or woman
say or do good thing, or what is supposed
to be such, than cranks stand ready to nomi
nate him or her for the Presidency. Thu
they stand as tally-sticks on which to Gu
notches without any hope of success. s.
the staff of accomplishment is thrown away
and vast amount of electoral force expen
