WASHINGTON LETTER.
The st. Louis Convention Grover

The ~. Louis Convention - Grover
Cleveland the savior of the Demo
crauIc Party-CRpitaI Notes.
From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, May % st Louis Is
the Mecca toward which the eyes
of all good democrats are now
turning, Next week when the demos
cratic CONVEX tion meets there, it Will only
have to ratify the choice of the part,
long since made, of candidate for the
presidency; to formally accept and adopt
the platform already mapped out by MIR.
Cleveland's last annual message to con
gress. and to select II candidate for vice
president, on the ticket with Mr., Cleve-
land. The only thing in the whole
programme about which there is even
the slightest particle of doubt, is the
last and it is more than probable that
Mr.. Cleveland will signify his preference
for a running mate before the convention
meets. thus removing all doubt, for the
convention will take pleasure in nomi-
mating the man for whom he expresses u
preference, and it is only right that they
should. for has he not proven himself the
savior of the democratic party? Aye,

ness; for the first time in many years the
party starts presidential campaign by
II brilliant charge on the onemy's picket
line, which has been forced in with such
rush that the main army have been
compelled to beat retreat, which has SO

bv one courageous individual; his name is
Grover Cleveland. He has given the
country clean, honest administration,
and the only reason that he has not ac>
complished more, is that he has been
hampered bv republican senate. But
this time it is to be clean sweep, and
from the 4th of March, 1889, the whole
government. in all its various branches.
will be administered by democrats in the
interests of the whole country, not of "a
small fraction of it.
The president has approved the act re,
stricting the hours of letter carriers to
eight per day. A most excellent law, and
like most other good laws, it originated
with a democrat. Hon. S. S. Cox. of New
York
The senate finance committee reported
adversely the house bill to issue paper
fractional currency. but in lieu thereof
they reported a bill reducing the fee for
postal notes under one dollar to one
cent.
The demand for Mr.. Carlsles tariff
speech is precedcnted. Already 5OO,~
600 copies have been ordered, and every
mail brings new orders. This ia as il
should be; it would be good thing for

The Old Time Wings.

Every once in awhile some talented
repnbll can editor rises to explain to a
benighted world that the republican
party of to-day is the old Wing party
under u new name, and to argue that,
therefore, all the old-t'me Wings in
the South and elsewhere who now
vote the straight democratic ticket,
ought to turn their Goa 5 and become
truly good republicans. At last ac-
counts these persuasive appeals had
not brought any yisibly long process
sion of old Wings into the republican
circus. The estimable OLD gentlemen
who were made happy by the acces-
sion of Taylor aud Fillmore to the
presidency, and who perUse with
pride the memoirs of Henry Clay, are
unable to find 1t recorded anywhere
that the Wings were a robber tariff
party,th ough objecting to unlimited
tor trade. Nor q pes careful search

day, or Robesonian navy jobs any
where in the constitution or bylaws
OF the Wing party. The like of Ruth
ertord Hayes dld not exist among the
presidents whom the Wings pat into
the white house. The Wings never
had Il Moses to lead them for a time
and then retire to the secusion OF q
Massachusetts penitentiary. There
was no Pinchback, no Chamber ain,
no, Kellogg, no Poker Jack Mcclure,
no Packard, no "Ni-iting Statesmen"
among the great men whom the old
Wings delighted to honor. 1t is not
mentioned that any Wing candidate
for presidential nomination was
ever sun-struck on the eve of an i'm
portant investigation, or that any
Wing senator or secretary of the
treasury ever wept over the self-inhic-
ted wounds of an Eliza Pinkston.
These few points of difference sutf-
GENTLY explain why o!d-line Wings
would not feel at home IN the republi-
can party. -Missouri-Republican.
