While ante election news in general

ut alleged information furnished by
The Telegraph is worse than worthless
It is utterly absurd. During the
twelve years last past the democratic
party has carried the country at every
general election save one-in 1850
when Garfield was elected by very
small plurality and the republicans
carried the lower house of congress by
smaller majority than the democrats
will have in the incoming tftieth con

the republican party must show un.

strength To warrant the belief that II

will be readily seen that there is abun

Certain republican newspapers are
booming Samuel J. Randall for the
democratic nomination for the presi-
dency in 1888; but many of the same
Journals doomed Benjamin F. Butler
for the same honor in 1884. History
repeats itself, and in 1888, as in 1884
the democratic party will please itself
in the matter, and place in nomination
man by the name Of Cleveland, who
will be elected.
