The Freaing Post expresses IFS gratitude TO me
Times for not assauting Mr. Hewitt as " born
knave or irrcdcc nabie scOundrel. or 1901, or
sneak thief or an irrec ainable liar drunkard or
ass" We had supposed nat The Post was favor
ably DISPOSED toward Mr.. HewItts canvass. Does
II not know that The Tmes's abuse is always help
full to the man attacked
II is not alone in Buffalo that the Democracy is
warming for spos with passionate and persistent
intensity. The Democrats of Rochester are also
holding up then plates and beseechIng the PTesl-
dent to fill them. The Rochester Union declares that
a new postmaster cannot be named any too soon
to suit the united Democracy of Roches or who
saved the last Presidential election no matter
what the color of his beard, whether he HIS any
beard al all not so long as he Is a Democrat"
The President may not have been aware of the fact
that il was the Democrats of Rochester that
elected him-ceTtalnly that is not the way that
Dr. Burchard generally spells his name. However,
If it is true that TIE Democrats i'll question did
render Mr. Cleveland so signal a service. they OBJ
ylously deserve something. We suggest that they
be allowed to name of their number to go upon
the bond of that worthy Medina Democrat who
was lately appointed by the President to fine
Office in Western New-YorA.
Jonah and the whale wero not more unanimous
than CAPTAIN Goldman and the Massachusetts, De-
mocracy now are The Boston Mugwump SWIM
ming alone in the surg'ug of politics has been
benevolently swallowed up by the Democratic
whale. From the depths OF That abysma nav
sounds out the Captains cheerful cry " We are
undivided in our attachment to free-trade and i'll
our adherence of monopoly"
The Rock River Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church has been in session in Evanston
haa fnrp fSalI
into 4 daily for the in order to publish full
reports of the proceedings. Last Sunday Bishop
Merrill preached, and the local reporter, IN order
20 secure accuracy. had his report OF the sermon
nur in type and in the afternoon took proof to
the Bishop for revision or approval Bishop Merrill
told him that he drew tho line at helping re-
porsers on Sunday yet very good preachers are
tbourht to be not at all dispsased Mt being reporte
ON Sunday; and such rs nveigh against Sunday
new,papers-.the work on which is largely doae
Satnrday-are not averse to finding the newspaper
ON their breakfast tables on Monday.
The Rev. n. Van AIstine, of Raymertown
Rensselaer, County. who recently celebrated his
s,micentonnial rs a Christian minister. stated in
hi, memorial sermon that his pastoral relation had
mayer been suspended for a single sunday during
tho entire fifty years OF -ervice. lie had never
taken a vacation nOT had he ever ceased from care
or work except during lew brief seasons OF
sickness" This certainly is a remarkable record
Wa wonder If there IS another minister OF fifty
years standing in this State who can match IT.
Mr. Van Alstines congregation would DO justified
IN concluding that he is entitled to au attack of
ministerial sore-thrOat, and the generous leave of
absence that il implies. And since ne does not
ssen given to throat why not grant him tn,
,eaye of absence independent of 1T
Professor William Everett, who with Captain
Goldman and the other Boston Free Trade indie
pendents has been duly annexed to the Democratic
marty. remarks that Republicansm " is rotten with
ITS disingenuousness from the top to the bottom"
The Democratic party, we may assume, Is In the
Professors judgment as clear and lucid and candid
"a the Republican party IL turgd. Democratic
platforms especially the tanif planks are couspc-
nous for their righteousness, honesty and sim
certyl
twill be good politics well AS good citizenship for them
1.-THE Repnbcans arrange thor forces that advantage
can be any Democratic mistakes which may occur
1 Brooklyn Eagle.
InasInuch as tho Democrats are sure to make the
radical mistake of nominating the candidates
chosen by Boss" Mclaughlin. this Is good adj
vice for the delegates to the Republican conven-
tons to-day to bear in mind. Ii tho Republicans
make 1T nominations they will command the votes
