President Cleveland left Washington yesterday

trust that he will thoroughly enjoy his respite from
duty and return to the harness in the fall well rest

the biggest sh of the season hook itself securely at
the end of his line. And as lie wanders through the

The Democratic politicians of New-Jersey who
are making merry over the efforts of the Hon. An
drew Albright to secure the nomination for Gov
ernoI are likely to discover that his canvass is no
laughing matter. Mr.. Albright is taking counsel,
it is said of that astute sub-soiler. the Hon.
Thomas Kays of Sussex, and the wires are now
working to summon q labor convention to nominace
Mr.. Albright as the workngmans candidate before
the Democratic Convention is called. The Demo-
Gratis will then be compelled to indorse him or take
some other man. In the first case the skies would
be bright for Andrew. If he is rejected either the
State House Ring or the Mcpherson syndicate will
get their man named, and the defeated faction, so
bitter is the quarrel. would prefer Albright to the
other fellow. At all events, with Prohibition
candidate n Republican candidate, a Labor can
didate and Democratic candidate Andrew would
have a betting chance for good place at the hnsh

Some of the enterprising citizens OF Lockport
are backing a great water scheme. Ihe journal OIL
that place thus explains its opJect'
To supply pure and wholesome water TO THIS city ana

heat water power in the world the stesdiest and most
abundant in quantity ana the Turest IN quaty OF the

The Journal doesn't assert but it is safe to con-
;ecture that this IS distinctly Republican enter
prise since it looks to the general dissemination of
water a liquid in which the typical Democrat
takes only languid interest. Now, II the PROPOSE
ton was to bring "sour mash" from Kentucky TO
Lockport through an exclusive pipe the CONJECTURE

The letter of ex-Representative Rice, of Maine,
publlshed in yesterdays issue, was not only an
admirable presentation OF tue questions affecting
the uresent relations of the United States aud Mex
ico but it contained much sardonic Dumor and
grim irony. His reference TO the Buffalo Bill
nerformancesr of the Governor OF Texas was as
grotrsauc as his criticism upon Consul Brlghams
folly and Secretary Bayards precipitate action in
the Cutting case causic and destructive.
