POLITICAL POINTERS.

Rochester Democrat: Thus far it has
not been noted that any organizations of
Union soldiers have resolved to support
Grover Cleveland for the Presidency.
New York Press: "The New Line
Wing is a Democratic nickname for
Harrison which may prove boomerang.
There aIe plenty of Wings left in Vir-
ginia.

ing TO spend October hunting for game
in the Adirondack Mountains. A few
months later he viii be hunting for a
situation.
Omaha Republican: When in the
Senate Judge Thurman voted against
the amendment to the Mexican Pension
bill excluding Jeff Davis from the bene-
fit Of the measure.
Pittsburg Dispatch: If the Democracy
could devise some higher principle OF
tariff revision than sectionalsm it would
at least increase their claim to a slight
degree of the public respect.
st. Paul Pioneer Press; The name Of
Grover Cleveland's substitute in the war
Of the Rebellion appears to have been
lost to History. The name Of his substi-
tute in the Presidential chair in 1889 will
be Harrison.
St. Louis Globe Democrat: The Demo-
cratic charge that Gen. Harrison is "a
cold man means simply that he wears a
clean shirt and is not III the habit of be-
ing piloted home of nights in an intoxi-
Gated condition.
Congressman Guenther says that "any
man who claims Wisconsin for the
Democracy, State or National, is dement,
ed. Wisconsin will give 10000 Repu5 li-
can majority, no matter who may be
nominated for Governor"
The Philadelphia Press says: ''The
democratic talk about Michigan being a
doubtful state is bosh, pure and simple.
Gen. Russell A. Alger lives there, and he
is answerable and good for a Republican
majority of anywhere from 5000 to 49,
000."
The st. Louis Globe Democrat says;
The Republicans will be able to do with
out New York this year. That is to say
they will undoubtedly carry Indiana, and
almost certainly carry New Jersey and
Connecticut, either of which, with Indi-
ana, would elect Harrison"
ST. Paul Pioneer Press: While it is
true that Levi T.. Morton contributed a
shipload of provisions to the furnishing
people of Ireland, 1t must not be over
looked that Grover Cleveland Is also a
generous, impulsive man. lie gave $50
to the Charleston earthquake sufferers.
st. Louis American Celt, We no
that Irish Americans will discard all past
alliances, put aside al present fears, and
dread no future coalitions, in the single
hope Of carrying to victory a banner in
scrihed with these devices: Harrison
and Norton Protection to American
Labor and Industry" Protection to the
American Citizen at Home and Abroad
Seattle PoSt-Tnteligencer: Mckinley
was not nominated, nor was any serious
effort made to bring about his nomina-
ton, but he passed through the conyen-
ton most creditably and won the friend
ship of all with whom he came in con-
tact. He is only A years Old and it is
not rash to predict that great deal will
yet be heard of him.
Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette: II is
something TO reflect upon that in sixteen
States, in which free ballot and a fair
count is alleged to prevail, not n single
electoral vote can be cast for Harrison
rs against Cleveland, notwithstanding
the fact that the colored people, who are
in the majority in q number of these
| States, are Republicans at heart and from
principle.
Boston Trdreller: If it amuses the
Democratic organs to attempt to preju-
dice the workingmen of the country
because Of the position he took relative
| to the railroad strikes of 1877, nobody,
certainly no Republican, will begrudge
/ them that amusement. 1t will hurt
neither party. The country contains no
stronger friends Of law and order than
its great body of workingmen.
1 New York Tribune: All, Mr.. Curtis,
/ YOUR voice rises To a tone of manhood
worthy of your better self only when you
! condemn the systematic practices of the
party you support. In helping that
party Mr. Curtis buries all thai Is uOblest
and worthicst in his own history and in
/ his manhood lie tears up and tramples
upon his own best and worthiest address
es and even his Gettysburg Grafton is
troddeu into the mire 10y the feet Of the
orator who supports Grover Cleveland,
the candidate OF organized fraud.
New York Press The man who says
that General Harrison IS i'm favor of adj
States, or who saws ne voted 10 do so, is
an unmidgated liar And the lie is none
the less a lie because the cowardly liar
hides his identity behind the mystic edi-
torial we The one cheering thing
this disreputohle business is that it has
been commenced early. Ii can not.
therefore extend through thecampaign.
The public SENSE ot justice viii revolt
