Frank Hurd denies having said that
Cleveland is free trader. He says
that he had n private conversation in
Il private room with few friends in
Cincinnati, in which the policy of the
new administration as to tariff reform
was discussed. In that conversation
Mr.. Hu.d said he thought Grover
Cleveland would be found in sympathy
with the views of a majority OF the
Democratic party on that question.
Asa circumstance he stated he had
been informed by prominent citizen
of Buffalo that the organization of a
free trade club in that city took place
i'll the office of the law firm of which
Governor Cleveland was a member.
Mr.. Hnrd says he never intended to
be understood as saying that Governor
Cleveland was ever connected with a
free trade organization, as he had no
information upon the subject from
that gentleman, nor from any other,
except as herein stated. The CONVEX
sation was supposed to be purely pri'
vate one among party of gentlemen.

duced to borrow of Vanderbilt $780,
600, but the firm went under, and in
order to secure the loan, Gen. Grant
was obliged to mortgage all of his
property, including his swords, medals
and relics of the war. Vanderbilt lie
covered a Judgment on his claim, and
all this property is liable to be sold at
any time to satisfy the same. Wander
bilt proposes to accept 800. 900 in full

We are now q week on our journey
through 1885, and our minds are apt to
run to coujectures of what the year
will bring forth. 1t is hard to look
ahead and fathom the mysteries of the
future, and it is we'll that it is thus.
1884 has been an eventful year in many
ways. 1t brought the floods in the
Ohio River the terrible riot of Cincin-
natl the troubles of the minors in the
Hooking Valley, and the election of a
Democrat to the Office of President of
the United States. This last is in itself
enough to make the year an historic
one. Democratic Presidents have not
been very numerous in the past quar-
ter of century, and the year that
brought forth such All one deserves to
be remembered by the people of the
whole nation.

Speaking of Democratic Presidents
reminds me that the Cabinet makers
are still applying themselves to the
task of forming a Cabinet for President
Cleveland. From all that can be gath
cred it becomes more evident that
G eve a ID himself is going to construct
his Cabinet, and that he will do so
wisely there can be no doubt. He has
shown that it is not his way to rush
headlOng into new schemes, but makes
up his mind after mature deliberation.
L am more and more Impressed with
the idea that Cleveland is statesman
of the very highest order, unsurpassed
by any one living. All his actions
prove it, and he starts out under most
favorable auspices. He succeeds man
in the Office of more than average abil-
ity. Arthur can point with pride to
his administration, and will leave the
Office with the feeling that it has been
honored by his having occupied it.

Gen. Grant as a Financier,

York Times.
One very Geld day a short time since
when topics for editorisl discussion were
somewhat scarce around the BEE office,
one of the editors of that paper dashed
oft a little two-liner to the effect that
Gen. Grant needed o guardian. In view
Of his rec ord as a financier, and the very
miserable condition into which his mis-
fortunes have drawn him, 1t Is only fair
to suppose that the AZORES aid editor had
this, and only this in mind when he wrote
the two.liner referred to. But our post
OF the G. A. r. took a different view of
the case and passed a long list of where
asses and resolutions extolling General
Grant and denouncing the BEE. Now
our opinion is that General Grants record
as a soldier and statesman needs no de-
tense, from our G.. A. r. or anybody
else, and we do not believe that any one
can be found so foolhardy and silly as to
attempt to impeach it. he is undoubted-
ly the greatesG living military commander
and this fact is almost universally ack-
nowledged, at home and abroad, and reso-
~lutions to this effect are about on par with
a resolution endorsing the declaration of
independence. his record as a fnancier
is somewhat vulnerable, and this
his greater admirers (of which
we are one) are obliged to admit. To an.
swer a Preference to this weakness or mis-
fortune of his, by a lot of declarations in
regard to his military career, which every
body admits, seems a little like whipping
the devil around a stump. Is the q. A..
r. boys have any defense of his record as
a financier we would be but to happy to
publish it. But that is but a small item
in the makeup of the great hero and
statesman, whose wonderful genius has
challenged the admiration of the world,
and won the applaus of all men. The
government ought to put him in a pos.-
ton where he will be above the question
of finance,

Not Very Unanimous

The unanimity with which the state
press approves the location of the state
fair at Lincoln, is gratifying to the peo.
pie OF this city, who will guarantee that
their friends are not disappointed In the

To show with what unanimity the state

following:
Omaha ought not to feel bad and tear
her shirt over the location of the fair at

is the state at large. The fair located at
