What is there to object to in that remark,
DAMP"
well you know, Sire, it naturally made those
who listened TO you recall the important fact that
four years ago the Office was so sacred In your
| eyes, and you approached it with so much con-
secration that you solemnly pronounced against
the eligibility of the President for reelection as
| n most serious danger to the public welfare, L
suspect that IL occurred to the messengers that if
you really regarded the Office as Sacred and IL
your conservation was of the genuine Sort you
| would not he running for reelection and thus
exposing your country to a most serious danger

Yes, Sire"

well, Pm sorry, Dan. On second thought
I'd like to omit the sentence you speak off,
II think myself Sire, If you will allow me, that
the less you have to say ia regard to the office
| being sacred in your eyes and, in regard 10
your conservation the better. What you are
thinking of-of course say this between ourselves
in the unrcserve Of friendship-is not the sacred

Excuse me, Dan. have an engagement
"The Sun" pronounces the Republican ticket
one that has been shrewdly and sNlfully selected,
and warns the Democratic party that 1T Will
have to make vigorous and active fight 1t
points out the significant fact that Mr.. Blaine
lacked only 0 electoral votes in 1884, and that
the Republicans can win this year by carrying
all the States which were Republican then, and
only Indiana and Connecticut in addition, thus
being independent Of New-York The Republic
cans will fight for every Northern State-for New
York and New-Jersey as well as for Indiana and
Connecticut.
The news from all parts of the country is that
Republicans are organizing for the campaign and
are full of fight because full Of well grounded
hope of success.
The Buffalo News" whose Editor is credited
with having discovered Cleveland. declines to
support him for reelection. The relations ex-
listing between Buffalo and the President are evil
IDENTIFY strained "The Buffalo Express" states
that he has disavowed his Buffalo residence for
the purpose of avoiding the payment of taxes ON
his personal estate, which had been assessed at the
very moderate figure Of SIS, 600" In 1SS4 Buffalo
gave majority of 1868 against Cleveland. 1t
is not unlikely that this thrifty disavowal of
residence will be followed by still larger ma
iority against him this year in the Queen City.
The more shrewd Democrats examine the Repub-
lcan ticket the more they don't like it, And
their dislike of it is bound to grow finely as the
campaign advances.

We sincerely trust that Mr. Thurman will emerge
from the canvass with his strength renewed Like
the eagles. To that end let him eschew politics
this summer and fall, go to bed with the lark
and arise when he feels like it. If he takes good
care Of his health there is no reason why he
should not feel well enough to make the journey
to Washington next year and notice how ably

One by one the Mugwump organs are confessing
the truth of the charge we made against them
four years ago, and then so hotly denied, that
they deserted the Republican party, not on any
question personal to Mr.. Blaine, but simply and
solely because they were opposed to the Republic
can principle Of protection to American industries.
They did not then dare to admit the truth, since |
it would inevitably have defeated Cleveland. |
Their conspiracy to befoul Mr.. Blaine with lying |
accusations and TO get the Democracy in power |
and then commit it to free-trade policy has not |
succeeded in its prime purpose, which was to |
secure the passage of free-trade bill before the
voters of the country could pass upon the revenue
issue In this they have been beaten. But their
scheme has been exposed and denials ore no |
longer either possible or useful They now admit
it all, and with serene impudence that would
be startling did it come from people less accus-
toned to the contempt OF their fellowcitizens
