ELEMENTS or STRESGTH.-The poiiti-
clans are for Cleveland because the peo-
ple are with him. Had his nomination
for second term depended on the per.
sonal preference Of pc iticians he would
not have been nominated. But 1t is the
frat business of a politician in any Crisis
or emergency, or whenever decision is
TO be made, to find out in what direction
the popular breeze is setting. 1t would
not pay the gentlemen who live by pol
tics 10 manage primaries and conventions
i'm the interes, of candidates who, Tor
lack Of popular support. would be pre-
ordained to defeat - Washington POST
Bandana, according 20 Webster, Il
species of silk or cotton handkerchief,
having a uniformly dyed ground, usually
Of red or blue. with figures OF circular
or lozenge form, made bv discharging the
color. 1t comes from the Spanish word
bandanO. which means neckerchlei
made of basi, and bast is the inner bark
OF the lime tree or linden, and hence the
same name for mating, cordage' etc,
made from this inner bark. The word Is
spelled bandana or bandsnna, with the
former as preference - washington tr'tc.
THrRMAN's SPEEcH-At Columbus
the coming Vice President said ~ on
will not expect me to make political
speech tonight. When the two parties
hall have been fully mar,halled in the
field. when the issues, as the lawyers call
them. shall have been distinctly declared,
when all the candidates have their har-
ness on and are ready for the tilt, then
it will be right for me to bear my humble
part in the ARRAY cheers. Then. /
give YOU my word that shall be heard
from according to my feeble abilities. /
think there is lite enough in me yet !
think that there is sill in this old head
some remnants of brains 10 enable me to
tell the people why it Is that all my lie
LONG / have been q Democrat, and mean
10 die one. and think ; shall be abe TO
give them some reasons why they should
be Democrats from now until they are
laid in the grave. Cheers
TUE PRonINESr REPUBLICAN.- The
truth OF the mater is that Mr.. DcpeW i
gifted with a much longer head than
editor Shepard Wot, Of. lie knows that
hi. domination would be resented by
many thousands OF Republicans, as well
as by the independent voters of the coun-
try at large. as an attempt TO establish a
dangerous autOcratic corporation IN
auence in power. With such nominee
in the field the Yanderbilts and the
Goulds would loosen their money bags
and poGr on, their Millions literally 10
secure his election His path 70 the
White House, if be ever reached thee,
would be literally paved with gold -

where the vulgar ward politician meets
