Youthful Political Ardoy.

The great hope of the Republican party this year is combination of standard oil, tin lamp, lampwick, and youthful enthus1- asm. A tremendous importance is at tached to the small boy and tOrchlight. Tbe Republican club idea easily has the call with the grand old party over all other campaign expedients.
 The result of the Republican club con vention in New York some time ago was the formation of great national league of Republican clubs, and since then the work of organization has been actively going on all over the country. A MT. Foster, who fills the honorable position of president of this league, has just returned to New York from his ssextensive tour of the west, n and Republican paper of that city notes with much satisfaction the success of his work. "Mr. Fosters op- portunities for observation were unriv- aled, :" and he Eeports ''that the movement is making the most satisfactory progress. In all the cities that he visited he found the same. hopeful condition of things" and he believes that the number of clubs that will be organized for the coming campaign will greatly exceed the leagues most fervid expectations.
 There is great deal of ardor in the young Republican. He is not crushed by defeat norsdaunted by the gloomy hues of the Republican future. Even the teach ing of observation that, in the event of party success, it is only the few gorgeous fellows who ride horseback and gallop fercely mp and down the line that get the offices, is no discouragement to his patri- otic bosom. He is always ready to shoul- der his torch and to walk, though the walking be bad, and to perform to the full extent of his lung power the required amount of hurrahing. The Republicans, no doubt, will turn out some tremendous processions. There will be mighty ral- lying of the hosts, the streets will glow with burning kerosene, and the nights will resound with outbursts of enthusiasm. i But, although they may outdo all pre- ivious brilliant efforts of this kind, as evil dently they are now bent on doing, will the Republican club idea elect Republi- can president? The political power of illuminated standard oil, of the blare of brass bands, of flags and banners, and of noisy enthusiasm, it is feared, may be exhausted without achieving party suc- scess.
 i There is quiet and sober after time in the somber days of November, when the leaves are falling, when the summer song bird has flown, and snow flakes are chas- ing each other in the chilly air, when the great issue is to be decided at the polls without these exciting accompaniments and without the aid of the myriad of youngsters under age who filled the torch light processions and made most of the noise.

Foraker,. Little Room.

All doubt about Governor Foraker be- ing on presidential lists has been removed. Some of the newspaper men, scenting the battle, are reviving and elaborating the story of the governors coffee sack brooches. If the governor should, un- fortunately for him, be nominated for the presidency, the "Little Brooches" story will wear him out. There will be times when he will want to join Tecumseh Sherman when that famous general prays for death while the band is playing Marching Through Georgia. Cincin- nati Enquirer.

THE Court of Appeals yesterday con frmed the conviction and sentence of Honest" John O'Neil, one of the New York poodle aldermen O'Neil was con victed on February 1, 1887, and sentenced by Judge Barrett to four and one-half years imprisonment and to pay fine of $2,000. There are many who believe that O'Neil was not party to the bribery. He was elected alderman as a declared advo- cate of the Broadway road, and had fought for it long before the date of the discriminating transactions, and he un- doubtedly would have voted for the road if there had been wrongful conspiracy in it's favor. It is but fair that this be said in his favor. O'Neil was victim of circumstances.

Saying sharp Things.

was ill friends house the other day, and asked to look at a certain paper. He said: "Oh I don't take that any more" "Why noty" "It's too smart" by which he meant that the keen edge of the editorial sword was flashed a little too promiscuously, and the whip was cracked with ceaseless con tinuity that was not pleasant Now, as it is with that paper, so 1t is with many men and more women. They go through life saying sharp things and smart things and sarcastic things. They breed ill humor; they leave un.'lcasant impressions. -Joe Howard in Boston Globe. r

Blaine,s Shattered Health.

: While MT. Blaine may not be in criti- cal condition of health at present, it is
 evident that his physical powers have
 been somuch impaired as to make him hesitate, at least, about accepting the se- were strain of another presidential contest; and judging front the weight of testimony that comes from Americans abroad, it is
 reasonable to assume that his health
 is hopelessly shattered. = Philadelphia

PEOPLE may say what they please about Sam Small, but he is nobody's fool He IS smart, witty, and at times eloquent, and his address last night, although heard by only about 200 people, at the City hall, commanded the undivided attention of his audience. His arraignment of the republi- can party was loudly applauded by repub- licans as well as democrats. Of course the democratic party came in for it's share of criticism, but MT Small has evidently in his researches of records and history found considerable more to the discredit of the republican party as regards temperance legislation. But it does not need MT. Small to tell of the deceit and hypocrisy of the republican party It is familiar to every intelligent and thinking man, and ''mocks the meat it feeds upon"

PRESIDENT HowARTH of the Connections Republican league is credited with having said at the convention in New Haven yes terday that the average young democrat knows more about politics than the aver age young republican. The young repub- icans are trained under the party lash. and as soon as they begin to do their own thinking and study up public matters they will come over into the democratic fold Connecticut is not a doubtful state any more, but is with us, said President Eos ter of the National Republican league at New Haven yesterday. How MT. Foster comes to this conclusion we cannot see. especially in face of the fact that the demo crats have carried the state twice for presi dent since 1872, and had plurality of votes in four out of the last five state elec- tions.
