Ben BUTLER has again cast away his Dem
ocracy. In 1860 he was a red-hot jeff Davis
Democrat. Afterwards Lincoln Republic
an; subsequently semi-Democratic Cover
nor of Massachusetts; then a full-hedged
Democratic delegate to the late Democratic
national convention in Chicago; now bolt
er opposing the nominee of that convention,
and again repudiating the Democratic organ
cation, and laboring to build up ''People's
Party" with himself at the head. He has
cast his net into the political sea to gather in
all sorts Of fishes, to aid him in his efforts to
disorganize and defeat and destroy the Dem
ocratie party, consistent in nothing but in
consistency, it is high time for all self re-
specting men to shun the arch disturber and
consign him to the contempt which his IN
disguised political knavery deserves.

MfGNETISM.

It may be defined to be the power, or force,
in nature which gives rise to the phe-
nomena of attraction, polarity as exhibited
by the loadstone and other magnetic bodies.
It may be divided into two classes, terrestrial
and animal. AS steel is more readily at
tracted by terrestrial magnetism so
animal magnetism, developed in man,
more readily attracts other men who
viii steal. In other words man VIGOROUSLY
corrupt viii draw to him men of like natures
or dispositions. 1t is only another form of
the old saying, "birds of feather will flock
together"
All the magnetic men of this or any other
age have been bold, bad, reckless characters.
Among these we may mention Aaron Burr,
Ben Butler, Boss Tweed, Dorsey, James G.
Blaine and Cole Younger and others
whose names may be suggested
by the reader For the purposes
of this article it is only necessary to con-
slider the two last named, James G. Blaine
and Cole Younger.
Both Of these are known to be magnetic
men. James G. Blaine is surcharged with
magnetism, while Cole Younger in his
palmy days was intensely saturated with
copious currents of it. And yet there is a
difference between these men. Magnetism
leads Blaine into avenues where he can make
himself useful to others not 50 heavily mag
netized, provided he is allowed to participate
in the profits without the expenditure of a
dollar. 1t was Blane's superior magnetic
influence that enabled him TO make more
A.
any other person connected with it-Fisber
says so, and he kROlcS all about IL. Younger's
magnetism flashed from the muzzle of his
pistol when he called out, ''Your money or
your life" In all his money transactions
his magnetism led him to act openly lie
had nothing TO conceal-no letters TO burn.
AS large magnets attract steel filings to
them, so men heavily charged with animal
magnetism win draw TO them men less under
its inllueuce-men who steal on small mar
gins, and are content sometimes to be "dead
heads in large enterprises. Hence it is not
to be wondered at that Dorsey, Elkins and
men Of that character are always found
in close proximity To the most wonderful mag
netic man the world has ever produced.
As Blaine has by his native magnetism,
become one Of the most wealthy men
of New England, those who have
found comparatively barren avenues
in which to make themselves useful,
and who have not been able to feather their
nests so we'll, look up to him and regret
that they have not been so thoroughly mag
netized. Blaine's candidacy would be farce
without his magnetism. Vote for Cleveland
aud spare the country the humiliation which
would come to every honorable man If Blaine
were elected.

hay crop is destroyed. In parts of southwestern
Virginia grazers are driving their stock into
Tennessee for water. Small streams are drying
up. At many places the forest trees are dying,
and many forest fires raging. The tobacco

Irwas fitting that at ooerliu Blaine should
oe introduced to the small crowd who cared
TO see him by Jim Monroe the ex-college-
congressional dude who while Blaine was
Speaker could always be depended on to vote
as the lobby and public job5ers in and out Of
Congress desired. To the fact that the Re
publican party put in Congress so many SUI
perserviceable creatures as Monroe is due the
hideous corruption which has grown Up and
enabled man like Blaine to become the
head Of the organization. Garfield used to
feel as II a snake had touched him every time
he was obliged to come in contact with with
The unctious Jim Monroe.

MILWAUKEE, Oct. Wheat is 1c higher
to-day and very strong. The bull side is
gaining friends. The bears in everything
but wheat have suffered greatly the last two
or three months. Wheat is about the only
cheap article left. It has been de-
moDstrated that it is far easier
to sell short than # is to
replace sales. While we are still aware that
there is nothing in sight to bull wheat on,
we caution against short selling. The price
is low aud should there be a decided falling
of in receipts shortly, prices would improve
rapidly. We quote the closing Of the market:

HENRY CLAY wrote one letter too many,
and it cost him the Presidency. James G.
Blaine in the estimation of prominent Re-
publicans has been guilty of the same folly
in taking the confessional and writing to Mr..
Phelps. The public Was astounded and
shocked by the confession, for it showed that
there was more truth in the Millersburg al
legged escapade, than his partisans were be-
fore willing to believe. If the suppression
of the truth is a lie then the confession is a
mixture of falsehood and truth, for there is
hiatus in the confession, suppression of
the most material facts in the case.

Brantford, and Stone, of New York, ended
in a quarrel At 100 yards Quirk was
slightly ahead, but it is alleged he ran over
into Stones track. Stone put out his hand
and put Quirk back, when Quirk struck him
with his elbow The men finished close on
each other, although Quirk was ahead foot.
The referee gave the race to Stone on foul.
Then row commenced, Quirk and Stone
abusing each other like pickpockets. 1t is
said Quirk will enter suit for the recovery of
his money.
