bismarck gets weighed three times q day. 1t
Is TO be hoped for the sake Of his own peace OF
mind that Mr. Cleveland does not get his chances
of election weighed three times day, just now.
II he does he must have the conviction forced
upon him that he has got "a glorious future
behind him.
Has Governor Hill received snub in the matter
of opening the Democratic campaign In Brooklyn
few days ago it was positively stated that he
would be the principal speaker at the flrlng Oh
the first gun tonight Now it turns out that the
managers have the idea that the National Admin
istration should have the most conspicuous
place, and so the Governor has been set aside
for the Hon Roger Quares Mills, who will expound
the principles of applied free trade. 1t is painful
to see such evidence of divided counsels so early
IN tbe campaion. 1t is understood however,
that Mr. Hin relnouished the honor of speaking
in Brooklyn with less reluctance than might
have been expected, on account OF his painful
associations with that city. 1t was in Brooklyn
that he emitted the famous speech which was
universally accepted as his bid for the Presi-
dency. This speech was afterward widely cir
culatcd over this and other States, a million
copies having been printed, it is said. Any
thing which recalls this melancholy experience
TO the Governors mind Is believed to be peculiarly
distressing to him.

The writer Of a popular new novel makes use
several times of the word ineluctabe." Accord
ing to the dictionaries, neluctable7 means not
to be resisted by struggling; not to be overcome
that is not to be got away from. 1t seems in
order at this stage Of the campaign to remark
that the issue which Mr. Cleveland raised by his
last message and confirmed by his letter of &C
ceptance will be found ineluctabe.
President Cleveland, in his letter Of acceptance
reafirms the economic doctrine OF the free-trade
message, but vehemently protests against the
charge that he and his PARTY have entered into
a free-trade crusade" This is good time for
Republican campaign clubs to furnish voters with
direct testimony from the platforms Of the Demo
cratic party and the speeches Of Democratic
Representatives in the tariff debate identifying
their policy with English free trade This can
be done to good advantage by the circulation OF

Representative Scott has now positively de-
clined to stand for Congress again. Considering
the brilliant record he has made as a legislator,
we are not surprised that he doesn't yearn to
enlarge it. What teacher experience is!
