We have heard various theories
Why Mr.. Cleveland was elected Presi-
dent. Some claim Cooking and Bech-
er did it, others that Puck, the New
York Herald, and the N. Y Times
did it Again there are those who
charge it to destiny, while all our
"bosses' and aspirants for Office here
10 Maryland claim that "Gorman did
it, and now comes brother Shade of
the Washington Sentinel who puts
in an entirely new theory. He says !:
"What elected the Democratic Presi-
Dental ticket? Some say the Mug
wumps--a rather unknown quantity
which disappeared 10 the last New
York gubernatorial election into the
Republican party--thereby increas-
ing tie Democratic majority over
that of the preceding election, when
the Mugwumps were with the Dem
ocrats. They cannot have done it!
With more justice We might claim
that President Cleveland was elected
by half . dozen of the Republican
Brooklyn brewers who under the lea
dership of the Uuited States Brew
ers' Association, cast over 700 Re-
publican votes for the Cleveland tick
ct, more than sufficient to carry New
York for the Democrats That is
beyond doubt. for the woes which
those Republican brewers thus gave
to Cleveland have been counted. !"
Each Of the reasons given above may
be true as far as they go. But if Mr.
Cleveland had not received more
electoral votes than Mr. Blaine. all
the above reasons would not have
amounted to shucks.

Mr. Greeley never entirely lost the rustic
ity of ways and manners acquired in his
boyhool One who hal found it difficult TO
secure su lcient raiment Tor the austerities
of II New England winter could not b. ex'
pected to consult the fashion plates very
selulously The whoe matter however,
a. such matters are apt to be, was abSurdly
exaggerated He bought clothes enough,
and expensive ones, but unfortunately he
did not know how to put them on. To save
his life he could not have tiei his neck
cloth neatly, and ii he lost his buttons it
might be necessary to remind him of it.
From the noise made about this, ono with
out due information might suppose him the
first distinguished man who cared little for
apparel Without much trouble the names
of fifty might be given who were negl gent
in the same way, with Dr. Johnson at the
head
The superficial manners Of Mr. Greeley
were those which boy would be likely to
acquire in a rural country or in the pursuit
of Il mechanical business. Doubtless he had
no arbitrary graces and dill not know when
it was proper for him - take oil bis hat
and when to put it on, If he had ever in

when he should have used his fork He
might even have been capabl, of asking Il

one test, we do not think that he could have
been substantially an illbred man Ac-

that there had been an unusual amount OF
