THE MOST astonishing piece OF pc.
litical news floating around comes
from George G. Gorham in the Wash
ington National Repu blican" and it
is to the effect that James G. Blaine is
a Democrat In disguise, aud that In all
his long years of public life he has been
fishing for the Democratic nomination
for the Presidency. No sensible man
will for moment suppose that this L.
true, bat even admitting that 1t was,
the conclusion must be that Blaine was
an awful poor fisherman and used the
queerest kind Of a bait to catch Demo
cratic Fl 81. A grest many Democrats,
had they had this intornAtio during
the last Presidential canvass, might
have voted for MIN and he instead OF
Cleveland would have been Presiden
now, aud the coEutry would not have
been torn up with labor troubles, be.
cause there would have been much
better times. Mr.. Gorhan shoald
have given his 9sluable Information
before Cleveland was elected

WE DOUBT very much whether the
psople OF Alabama and Georgia would
have made half the fuss over President
Cleveland had he visited them as they
have made over JEFF Davis, though
Cleveland is the first Democratic Presi-
dent the country has had for q quarter
OF q century.

IT is SAID now that the trouble II
the Ohio Senate over seating the foul
fraud ulently elected Senators from
Hamilton County, will end by thes'
Senators declining to take their seats
knowing that they have NO right h
them. Had these Senators refuses
from the first to take these seats the.
would have been entitled to the ful
measure OF praise which they will no
receive now.
