DEMOCRATS: Cheap blankets.
Republican Platform: Free whisky.
LIE, BROTHERS, LIE.

OF course it is out of the question TO asi
the Republican press to stick to the truti
at all times. If they did that they coult
not help advocating the reelection o
President CLEVELAND. But We believe
we have q right to request our Republican
cont, mp1raries 10 speak the truth at leas
sometimes. 1t deVolves on the Democratic
press TO expose all these lies that are PRINT
ed by the score every day in every Repub
liean organ in the land and it is supei'
human task In the IRteiigeneer, outside
of the bare Associated Press news, there ba'
scarcely been line of political truth sinc'
the st. Louis convention. 1t scours sucf
utterly unreliable party organs as til
New York Press, daily for anything ant
everything that will bolster mp the fals'
campaign of the Republican Office seekers
The more of these lies there are exposed
the more lies they print. The Me'rs-Lette'
even goes so far sometimes as to print lief
previously exposed in the REGISTER and
often week old.
Yesterday the hteuigencer published
clipping from Pittsburg Republican
sheet as q dispatch froIa that city. 1t told
of Democratic family Of seven named
MURRAY, the head of which is an ex'
Councilman, of Pitttburg, which family il
was solemnly alleged intended to vote fol
HARRISON in body. While the Iateili'
geneer's printers were putting this lie in
type for the benefit of the htsliigeHeer's de-
Iuded readers Mr.. MURRAY, himself, was
preparing denial of it, and the Pittsbure
Post printed Mr.. MURRAY's denial yester'
day at the time of the IRteiligencer''
publication of the lie. In another column
will be- found both the IateiiigeReer's stolen
lie and the denial from Mr., MURRAY.
OF course it is too much to ex-
pect the IateIiigenesr to do Mr..
MURRAY the justice to print his
denial Of the falsehoOd. The InteHigea-
Ger isn't built that way, and We do not ex.
pect TO see it break its record in this in
stance.
Our neighbor aIso published yesterday
along with the lie above referred to an
other and more glazing lie from the New
York Press, which is notorious for never
having printed the truth during its brief
career as q monopoly organ. The lie was
q wildly absurd he on its face and the Iatel-
HgeHeer owns the proud distinction Of being
the only paper in the country that had the
gall to copy it cut of the Press. This lie,
which was denied before the IRtelligeneer
published il, was to the effect that JAY
GOULD had declared himself in favor of
Mr.. CLEvELAND's reelection, and through
NoRyIN GREEN, had given $40, 900 to the
Democratic campaign fund. Nodoubt the
Democrats would like to see the $4,000,
but il is doubtful if they would consider

entrance of JAY GOULD into the party.
JAY GOULD has never voted the Demo-
cratic ticket since be began to rob the
masses of the American people under the
protection of Republican administration
and he never will vote the Democratic
ticket until he changes his nature. he
paid the Republican campaign expenses in
New York in 1884, and came near buying
the State for BLAINE He viii contribute
heavily to the Republican fund in 1883, if
be has not done 50 already. The Press
lie has been laughed to death in
New York long ago. but the IatelRgeaer
seems to think il worth reproducing for all
that. 1t may work with those deluded per-
,ons who read nothing but the htsliigeaeer,
Ior that organ will never deny it for it knew
d to be false before il printed il.
Lie, brothers, lie, but Jon should lie
