Democrats don't think so. They are GER

votes Tor CLEVELAND. Illinois, Ohio,

California are somewhat doubtful, but
they have strong leaning towards the
Democracy. CLEVELAND is already
elected, and casting the ballots on next
Tnesday is merely matter Of form.

Of October u, giving an account OF the
simultaneous appearance in that town

that the fat Texan literally demolished

ing nearly 1900 people, and after he had
finished his little piece, Hun
BARD addressed the audience. We
regret we haven't space to publish
the speeches. The Sentinel's prefa
tory remarks are as follows: "a physi.
cal phenomenon was observed by vast
multitude here to-day, in that an IRE,
sistible force came in contact with an
immovable body at this point, foi
JAMES G. BLAINE, of Maine, collided
with GOV. X. B. HI BBARD, with serious
damage to the man from Maine. The
arrival Of these two distinguished gen.

the intensest excitement, and aroused
the enthusiasm of both parties to iervent
heat. At least 1900 people took in the
the consolidated show, the Dom.

at Washington city, d. c., which fatty
contradicted many of Mr.. BLAINES
misstatement Of facts, he proceeded in a
powerful and merciless way to expose
such misstatements. From the report
of Gov. HuBDARD's speech it will be
seen that the grand orator put, with
subtlety, many hard questions to Mn,

there are hardly twenty-five Republicans in

surd. The fact is, if the great mass Of cor
respondence purporting to represent indie
pendent Republican sentiment in favor of

Democratic party ever obtain control Of
this government, the South, encouraged by the
influence it has welded in Democratic con-
ventions, win undoubtedly make desperate
efortto have its veterans put upon the PEN
sion roll. AS much has been repeatedly con
fessed by Southern men and journals. The par
ty that has thus far cajoled them will then be
compelled to refuse to accede to the demand,
and then may we confidently expect to see
that portion Of the country come to its senses,
and give up the attempt to capture the ignis
fatuus with which the Democratic party has
so long lured them on. The Democratic bait
of pensioning "allD soldiers and of equalizing
bounties of ftalP' soldiers would mean the pay
ment Of a few hundreds of millions to confed-
crates and their heirs-a very seductive temp
tation. But such an outrage upon the memo
ry of Union soldiers will never be consum-
mated. The Republican party unquaE
ifiedly pronounces against ever pay
ing single cent to any or
all soldiers not in service under the stars and
stripes. If the reader thinks there is nothing
in all this, let him try to get the Democratic
party to publicly and formally declare against
ever pensioning confederate soldiers in any
way. 1t dares not take such stand.

BECAUSE the St Louis Westliche Post, in

that Mr.. schun repents. This is doing great

standing up in New York to be counted among

AN UNsAFE Guide.

There should be perfect respect shown for a
man like George William Curtis, when he
shows respect for himself But not even the
high personal character or literary ability
of Mr.. Curtis should cause him to be followed
as political leader, if it be shown that he is
inconsistent with himself, that he is not
moved by principle, but that his present atti-
tude is dictated by nothing higher than per
sonal pique, if it be not a worse thing. It is
demonstrate from the files Of his own paper
that in his opposition to Mr. Blaine now he
is trayersing his own expressions of years ago,
when he had before him all the evidence he
has now, and when he made up deliberate
verdict in favor of Mr. Blaine, in which YER
dict his pen was joined with the pencil of
Thomas Mast. Another conspicuous example
is shown by Mr.. Curtis's leading editorial in
this weeks Harper, in which he advocates the
election of Grover Cleveland In this article
Mr. Curtis says:
1.-THE mere party argument is vain also, be-
cause no honorable man will be whipped In to
vote IOI u CaQQ1QaL6 WHOM lie Deu6N6S 10 DC
personally disqualified for the presidency on
the ground that a party ought to be sus
tanned.
In 1872 there was strong revolt in certain
circles against General Grant, Among the
reyolters was Charles Sumner-certainly as
great and as pure a man as Mr.. Curtis him
self Certain colored citizens addressed let
ter to Mr.. Sumner, asking him which of the
candidates would, if elected, enforce the re-
quirements of the Constitution and laws re
specting the negroes civil and political rights
with the most heartfelt sympathy and the
greatest vigor." Mr. Sumner replied that, in
his opinion, Mr.. Greeley was the candidate.
The correspondence attracted the attention Of
Mr.. Curtis, and in an article in which he in
sisted that the candidate was but little but
the party everything, he wrote:
''The whole election with him ESumner1
turns upon one man. All the tendencies,
logic, necessities facts, principles Of the Re
publican party avail nothing with him, be-
cause he does not like the candidate. The
whole moral drift of the Democratic party
does not dismay him, because the candidate
is agreeable to him.
Now, the whole moral drift of the Demo
cratic party, which, on the 9Th Of last June,
Mr.. Curtis described as "a party without
single definite principle; party without any
distinct national policy which it dares present
to the country; party which fell from power
as conspiracy against human rights, and
now attempts to sneak back to power as con
spiracy for plumber and spoils"-we say the
whole moral drift of this party does not dis
may Mr.. Curtis, because the candidate is
agreeable to him. Against Mr.. Curtis in July,
1884 we place Mr.. Curtis in. July, 1872. The
contrast shows that politically Mr.. Curtis has
no fundamental faith and principles upon
which his Judgment is based and grounded.

fall into the ditch together"

THE opposition, aided and abetted by few
dissatisfied Republicans, have charged corrup-
tion against Mr. Blaine. It is safe TO say,
however, that few believe the charge and it
will be found that not less than four and
half million voters will formally attest their
perfect confidence in this able leader by voting
for him in November. In other words, four
and half million voters will indirectly inn
peach the evidence offered. There is food
