Eeports Of Political Meetings.

One OF the peculiar features Of the cam
paign in this State for the nomination for
Governor is the reports of the meetings
of the opposing candidates. AS these re-
ports appear in the newspapers they are
hardly recognizable as covering the same
meetings. In a Bacon organ, as a
rule, Gordon meeting is spoken of with
such contempt, and the number present
and the amount of enthusiasm displayed
are represented as being so small th at the
general reader is led to wonder where
Gen. Gordon expects to get any delegates.
On the other hand the Gordon organs pre-
sent the Bacon meetings in a way that
tends to create the impression that they
are Insignificant, and that the few who
attend them do 80 out of curiosity
rather than from any feeling of
regard for Mai. Bacon or enthusiasm for
bis candidacy. Even the MORNING
NEWS, which aims to give a fair report
Of the meetings and the progress of the
campaign, finds great difficulty in getting
dispatches that are so close to the facts
that they meet the approval of supporters
of both the candidates. Indeed, it is
ldtHVl u III ull III any OuGs uol lTdlHeu
journalist, to write report of political
meeting, in a campaign in which
great deal of feeling is aroused,
which is fair and impartial.
The trouble is to prevent personal feelings
and preferences from influencing the judg-
ment. Most men are unable to form a
clear and unbiased Judgment in matters
in which they are strongly interested,
however much they may strive to do SO.
In the GordOn-Bacou campaign the
MORNING NEWS has endeavored to give
absolutely fair reports, and if it has failed
in a few instances it is because its corre-
spondents in these instances were led into
little eXtravagances or failed to
say all that the facts warranted,
not by desire to do injustice
or to influence public sentiment
for or against either candidate, but by SEN
timents which warped to some extent
their judgments. 1t will be generally ad-
m.tted, however, that the reports of the
MORNING NEWS have kept pretty close
to the facts. What the people want is the
truth, and the MORNING NEWS has tried
and is trying to give it to them.
OF course there are few who don't
want the truth, and others who sincerely
think that the truth is to be found only on
their side. The great mass of the people,
however, are not slow to recognize what
is just and fair a nd to make proper re-
sponse to it.

''Do you think the President is an earnest
believer in Presbyterian doctrlnes?" DR.. By
ron Sunderland was asked.
THAT depends altogether on what YOU
mean by yearnest, replied the Doctor. From
what / have seen of him judge him to be
sincere Christian, but l do not believe that he
is an earnest seetarlan in the sense usually
conveyed by the term. The doctrines and
ceremonies of our church suit his ideas better
than those of any other denomination, but he
is the least bigoted man in the world. In con-
versation with me he has more than once said
that every sect of Christians were right as
long as they were sincere in their religious
views. since they all worshped God, only
after different manner. No, the President
could never become an earnest member of
any sect, but he is asincere, practical Chris
tian."
do you think his merriage will have the
effect of making him more regular in his
church attendance?"
II suppose so," said the Doctor smiling.
Marriage usually has that effect on men,"

And he's even seen at church,
And on the stools of offices
You'll often see him perch.

The "RascaIs, to Go.

A staff correspondent OF the Republican
Philadelphia Press, writing from Wash
ington Sunday, claimed to have reliable
information to the effect that the Presi-
de"t emphatically assured some Southern
and New York Democrats Saturday that
he was going TO change mis- tactics, and
that he would turn out Republican Office
holders pretty rapidly during the next
six months. The correspondent said that
the Democrats were almost hilarious with
expectancy, and that on Saturday night
there were many who drank the sparkling
champagne to the he alth of the President
and his bride.
OF course it is possible that the corre-
spondent was misinformed or was m sled,
but there are reasons to believe that there
is some truth in his statement. There
were forty persons dismissed from the
Treasury Department on Monday, which
would seem to confirm it. In fact,
there are plenty of good reasons why
changes should be made more rapidly in
the future, and these are an assurance
that the President will soon make and fill
vaca acies more rapidly.
L
has been very closely employed studying
he condition and needs of the country
and the civil service in particular. He
has had neither time nor opportunity to
do more than act on the more conspicuous
andpressing cases that were brought to his
attention. He has been particularly busy
since Congress met, and has just settled to
his own satisfaction and that of the coun-
try his relations with the Republican Sem
ate, so far as suspensions and appoint
ments are concerned. When Congress
adjourns he will have time and occasion,
doubtless, to devote good deal OF atten-
tion to recalcitrant officials, and we may
expect more removals than it has been
possible for him to make heretofore with
out risk OF doing injustice to individuals
| or injury to the service.
There is no doubt that in making
changes the President will comply with
the spirit as well as the letter Of the civil
service law, but the law must be literally
construed if the country is to reap the
| full benefits of It's provisions.

A Meteor In a Pond.
From the Utica Heralds


A huge aeroli tie has fallen into Spring pond,
next 81. Regis Falls, and nearly filled the
pond. The BODY of water usually contained
in the pond was nearly all spatttred out, and
the suppO ed smo ke seen was steam, generated
by the water running back around the h ed
mass. Mud was thrown into the tree ps,
and trout were scattered promiscuously
around the pond literally covering he banks.
The news soon became circulated through he
neghborhood, and scores of boys and men
were seen all daY yesterday engaged in pick
ing the fish up. and bushels OF them were
drawn away. The fish nearest the pond that
Topped back into the still boiling water were
completely cooked. This hinge mass seems to
be mineral, but has not cooled OF enough yet
to admit of an examination.

The Presidents Salary.


A great deal of talk has been occasioned by
the mention OF the tact that the President al
ways used new money. Some people laughed
at the idea that he hand. a crisp new 500
bill to DR.. Sunderland for his marriage fee.
and, again, that he put crisp new 50 bill in
the collection plate at the Oakland church.
People said "Why, the President must have
money made especially for him." The truth
is. the President always receives new notes
direct from the Trea -ury. He never gets old
notes, except in change when he pays a bill or
makes purchase. The United States
Treasurer. on the last day of each month
sends the President mis- salary 81. 1866 66-the
odd change IN bright new silver and copper
cents, aud the notes all ew and of the latest
issue. Mr.. Cleveland, like his predecessors
keeps private bank account with Riggs &
Co., and the day after he gets his salary he
makes a deposit, re ervlnR enough to pay
current expenses. IL is SAID that his account
has shown rs large balance as $4,000, as he
has an income btsides his official salary. Re
fore he entered public life he made from
$4,000 to $4,000 year by his practice and
his eIpen-es were not more than 81 500. He
has saved much OF his frat years salary, but
now that he is married his expenses will in
crease.
