| On the subject of his letter of acceptance Mr..
Thurman said fortnight ago that he considered IT
an unnecessary performance, anyhow We

letter Of acceptance was non-essentiaL No need OF

The beauties Of the free-trade system in Eng

con worhingmen, are well portrayed by that ar
dent frce-trade organ, The Pail Mall Gazette,'
in an article on chain making. A correspondent
Of that paper visited chainmaker's shop re-

worked for three days together on dry bread and
two small herrings each day. II bread and po-
tatoes were not cheap, he would not be able to

When You find reoT.le taking to the longboats

Four years ago tho Republican party was turned
ont Of power for refusing to reduce the war taxes
Che World.
The tariff was revised year before that cleo
ton; and from s65 to the present day the only
reductions of the so-called war taxes have been
made when the Republican party controlled the
lower house Again and again have the burdens
of war taxation been lghtened by Republican
legislation. 1t is the Democratic party that has
done nothing
All Democratic supporters Of President Cleve
land should desire Governor Hills reelection
So SAYS Mayor Chaplin, of Brooklyn, with empha-
sis on the should The trouble is, Mr. Mayor
that should7 is not "will' not by large
majority.
The Democratic Committee in Brooklyn, in
levying campaign assessments on the city office
holders, seems to have taken for its model the
method employed by the National Committee
in dealing with office holders in Washington
Still there has been moderation in not asking
for more than three FER cent of the annual
salary received Federal officials have not always
been treated with much consideration. The
Brooklyn managers are expecting TO realize some
$50, 900 by the operation. OF course it Is well
understood that the head of any one who refuses
to contribute will go into the basket. Where
is the man who professed not long ago TO be
able to perceive that the Democracy had under
gone regeneration and become the party of purity
and moral ideas?
Governor Hill does not sulll like Achilles in
his tent lie hastens to Indiana to prove that
he, at least is Democrat without resentment
and without fear The President lacks both the
courage and the magnanimity to prove that he
is Democrat in the New-York canvass.
Senator Vests vain attempt to prove that when
he spoke of fight Of determination against

and innocuous, suggests that Senator Coke Will
probably soon feel the necessity of modifying
or explaining away his remark about the ;" av-
erage Texan. going any number of miles out OF
his way to kick and kill and destroy the
protective tariff. But are they not protesting
too much?
The Republican committee of New-York County
is doing its utmost to secure the polling OF the
full party vote in November. 1t feels that 1t
will not have done its whole duty II any vote Is
lost which if the proper effort had been made
would have been cast for the Republican tickets
National State, and County In pursuance of
this laudable feeling, the committee has had pre-
pared the following pledge: We, the under
signed, hereby pledge ourselves unless prevented
by sickness to have our names properly regis

held Oh November 8, 1882 This pledge VIII be
widely circulated and will doubtless prove most
useful campaign document
When President Cleveland wrote his Retaliation |
Message he probably did not see far enough into
the future to perceive that in few weeks there |
might be a serious intention Of making him a |
subject of retaliation. TO ward of the effects |
of this in what was recently the State OF his resi-
dence may be a more difficult task than to execute
a somersault in single night between Wednesday |
and Thursday The Presidents only hope. though, |
seems to lie in making an effort

Admiral Porter expects to return to Washington |
early this week with health restored.
Chicago claims that her Mr. Samuel Dexter, presi- !
