mucwuMP INCONSISTENCY.

Inc Boston Herald says III Was Lie mug
wumps who defeated Davenport. "The
bad Republican platform and bloody shirt
Republican campaign disguised independent
voters enough to turn the scales for Hill
even against better man." 1t used to be
the boast of Mugwumps that they paid little
attention to platforms and utterances OF
campaign orators. Platforms were meaning
less, they said the utterances of campaign
were insincere, made for catching votes mere
ly. The true test of partys merits, the
test that Mugwumps applied when deciding
towhich they should give their suffrages, was
the character of its candidates. Last fall
they bolted the Republican ticket because
they did not believe in Mr.. Blaine. They
admitted that the chances were that the
country would get better government from
the Republicans than from the Democrats.
They admitted that the positions of the Re
publicans on all the vital questions of the
last quarter of a century had been right, and
the positions Of the Democrats wrong. But
they said, Mr. Cleveland is a better man
than Mr.. Blaine. He is better reformer.
Therefore we will abandon the Republican
party and vote for Mr. Cleveland. With us
it is men rather than measures. This fall in
New York they said Gov. Hill is political
trickster. his whole course in office has
shown him to be the friend of the spoils sys-
TEN, which we detest, and hand and glove
with the lowest element of the Democratic
party. He is the favorite of Tammany,
which opposed Cleveland at Chicago and
did what it could to defeat him at the polls
Mr. Davenport on the other hand, is an
honest and honorable gentleman. He be-
lieves in civil service reform. He will give
the State good government. His nomina-
ton was triumph of the best elements of
of the Republican party. But certain Re-
publican orators in campaign speeches have
alluded to the suppression Of the ballot in
the South and denounced it. Therefore we
will abandon the honest and honorable gen
tleman who heads the Republican ticket and
support the political trickster and fayorite
of Tammany Hall who heads the Democratic
ticket.

wumps pride themselves on more than anoth-

This is special dispatch from Elmira, N.
Y. to the Mugwump New York Times, da-
ted last Tuesday:
The most disgraceful election that ever took
place in Chemung county took place to-day. In
Elmira the Democrats started in by paying $40,
and increased That figure so that from noon until
the pclls closed $40, $25, SGT were paid in open
market by Gov. Hls heelers. Honest men left
the polls In disgust, and many hundreds of men in
good circumstances took the money.
This, to be sure, is large story, but the
Times is considered a very trustworthy jour-
nal and probably does not employ cores
pondents who are endowed with more than
an ordinarily elastic imagination. The ques-
ton arises, We're the contributions of Presl-
dent Cleveland, Secretary Manning, Secre-
tary Whitney, and Col Lamont put to such
uses as these? If so, with what kind of an R
does the administration spell reform nova
days?

Gas might have been expected" says the
Boston Herald, sit turns out that President
Cleveland's administration has strengthened
his party" This is apropos of the result of
the electionin New York. But the Herald
predicted almost up to the day of election
that Hill would be defeated because his
election would mean a rebuke to the admin
istration. 1t pictured day after day in vigor-
GUS English the disastrous effect upon the
cause of reform his election would have,
and implored the Mugwumps by the love
they bore Cleveland to save him from such
a fate by voting for Davenport. But after
the election is over the Herald discovers that
Cleveland's reforms have so strengthened
his party that it has been able to elect a
man whose success it declared would mean
a rebuke to the President for those
very reforms. If Cleveland's reforms work
this way next year the Democrats will be
able to elect Ben Butler, or some other
equally able trickster, governor of Massa-
chusettS

er it is their consistency. They care nothing
for parties. they tell us, they are always on
the lookout for the best. So they took the
political trickster in preference to the honest
man, and now they have the assurance to
boast that it was they who elected him. Yet
we are told that the Mugwumps are the hope
of the nation. They appear to be very
forlorn hope, if the Herald has represented
them correctly.

The present campaign in England bids fair
to distance in bitter personalities the last
national campaign in this country. Fruitful
as that was in aspersions of private charac-
ter and conduct it lis doubtful if anything
was said on the stump by any person of
prominence against Mr.. Blaine or Mr.. Cleve-
land so coarse and malignant as the words
uttered by Archdeacon Denison against Mr..
Gladstone. Brick-bats and rotten eggs, as
well as opprobrious epithets and brutal in
suits, are common concomitants of the Eng
lish mass meetings.

Gov. Hill thinks the Democratic victory in
New York viii strengthen the hands of the
President and aid him in the publication of
the public service. By publication of the

what all Democrats of his stripe mean,
the turning out of Republicans and putting

doubt in the world but the New York yicto-

There was nothing in Wilkinsons case
standing alone that called flor any leniency
on the part of the Governor and Council.
He was morally and legally guilty of the
crime of murder in the first degree the pen
atty of which is death. But his crime was
neither so deliberate nor so brutal as that of
which Blaney and Mrs. Barrows were con-
Ricted, and it will be hard to convince the
public that the justice is strictly impartial
which hangs him and spares the other two.

GRANTS RESTLESS NIGHT.
Cerebral ExaItatiOn superinduces the
Temporary Trouble.

AeAhpuEHII AEOuDle4
NEW YORK, May 2.-Last night was
the worst night with Gen. Grant in two
weeks. 1t was a quiet nIght--as quiet as
goes with him-but he slept only at short
intervals until o'clock this morning, at
which hour he fell into sleep that con-
tinued until So'clock. He then awakened
again, but again he dozed until between
. and 10 O'Clock. About 10 o'clock last
night the General settled down as was
supposed for the night. He believed that
DR.. Douglas had left the house. This was
not true, and when, about II O'Clock, the
patient heard the DOCTORS voice in the
hall he summoned him to the
sick room. The General seemed
nervous and apprebensive, and he
requested the doctor not to quit the house
until morning, hence DR.. Douglas re-
mained at the house until 80 o'clock this
morning. When the doctor left the house
he said that the Generals restless night
might have been owing to cerebral eXal-
tatiOn resulting from work on his book
during the past two days. The weather,
too, may have contributed to the restless
ness If the patient. The throat and gen.
eral physical conditions were not such as
10 have caused uneaslness, and the doc
tor found explanation OF the fact in the
win be held tomorrow.
WORKING ON HIS BOOK.
"The General worked on his book to-
day. said Col. Fred Grant, ''for over two
hours, and will on Monday resume die
tating, after which he VIII take four or
five days rest, collecting data lOr future
dictatiOn. This will, | hope, finish the
work. OF course some revision will be
necessary, but the General Is so
concise that il will not
be much. The Generals condition is
about the same to-day although the swell
ing In his throat has increased very per-
ceptibly. The pain has not increased,
however, very materially. We kept the
doctor last night at fathers solicitation,
though he Is no worse tonight. ] Will
have 10 keep all visitors from the house in
futme. j cannot say what the state
Of his throat is az present, but, Of course,
after consultation tomorrow we will be
able 20 know definitely what progress the
disease has made. He is quite cheerful,
and | think Will progress even better
when his book Is finished. / want you %
contradict the story about smoking i'm the
most positive terms. The General has
not resumed smoking" Dr. Douglas
came at 10 o'clock and VIII stay all night.

LONDON, May 2.-<rhe Parnellites are
engaged in the preparation of plan for
work in the coming electoral campaign,
but they do not seem to be enthusiastic
in the work. But 50 members Of the
party could be induced to attend the
latest meeting called TO formulate a plan
Of operations. The Irish party
seek TO retain 80 Of their present
seats in Parliament by the election
of new candidates. Mr.. Parnell desires
to have Justin Mccarthy, Jr., present
Home Rule member for Athlone, Charles
Dawson, member for Carlow, Mathew
joseph Kenny, member for Ennis, VIM.
O'Brien, member for Mallow, John Ed
ward Redmond, member for New
Ross, VIM. N. X. Redmond, member for
Wexford, Sir Joseph Neale McKenna,
member for Youghal; Edmund Leamy,
member for Waterford, and John O'CoI-
nor Power, member for Mayo, all stand
for new and more doubtful constituencies
in order to make sure Of securing them,
feeling certain of being able to retain the
present constituencies of these members
with other candidates. Mr.. Parnell pro-
poses the permanent establishment of an
election fund for the benefit of league
Parliamentary cam aigns. A LEAGUE
manifesto ON this subject will probably
be issued.
THE CRIMES ACT. -.ef
The government have decided to post
pOne making a decision as to a revival Of
the crimes act IN Ireland. II the Queen
concludes to make IA visit to Ireland this
autumn, as she now cOntemplates doing,
it is more than probable that the proposi-
tion to revive the crimes act will be drop
ped, or else modified with much noise, in or
der TO develop feeling OF welcome among
the Irish people towards Her Majesty. The
authorities Of Dublin Castle report that
the condition of Ireland indicates a
tendency to better order and gradual
dlminutiOn Of the number and influence
of secret societies among the Irish peO-
pie.
1t is stated that since the conference at
Rome Of Irish prelates there has been per-
tected in Ireland a union between the
Catholic Bishops and the leaders Of the
Irish National party. The consummation
of the union, 1t is said, was preceded by
several conferences between Mr.. Parnell
and the leaders among the clerical body.
HIGHER EDUCATION WANTED.
One outcome of these conferences and
this union has been the drafting OF a
series of resolutions stating, among the
claims Of Ireland, one TO state endowment
for higher education Of the people. The
custody Of these resolutions has been en-
trusted 10 Mr.. Parnell, who will base
upon them the Introduction of a bill In
Parliament designed to secure the
claim. A movement has been
started in Dublin 10 purchase by popular
subscription a royal residence in ireland.
1t Is thought by the organizers Of this
movement that the royal presence in Ire
land, during part OF the year at least,
would 90 far towards uproOting national
ist sentiment, witch, IL is feared, is taking
too strong hold upon the people.
