Even the Boston Herald begins to see
the unmistakable signs of the incoming
tide. Nothing but the irresistible force
of the facts which cannot be ignored nor
denied can have brought the Free Trade
organ to this plain admission.
The reception proposed to be given Mr.
Blaine here in Boston Immediately following
the demonstration that is to mark his arrival
in New York would lack nothing of enthus-
asm. 1t may be doubted whether Mr. Blaine
is anywhere more popular than be is among
the Republicans of Massachusetts, to-day
His name awakens the most intense enthu-
siasm whenever it is mentioned at a Republi-
can gathering here, and all others sink into
insignificance in comparison. 1t is not
always thus. but it is SO to-day. as the Repub-
lican party is constituted, The party will
undoubtedly give a fitting welcome to its
chief idol.

Our Opponents In a Hard Place.

There Is not a shadow of doubt that
the Democratic leaders would lie about
their tariff opinions even worse than their
prototypes In lS44, who cheated the
country with the cry of Polk and Dallas
for the Tariff of A." They are trying
hard to hedge and to throw dust in the
eyes of the people. But the fraud is too
plain, the eifrontery is too brazen. to
meet with success. Cleveland's message
squarely arguing for tariff changes on the
lines of Free Trade, and severely attack
Ing Protection, so foreclosed the issue
that no amount of lying now can change
the record. The party managers at St.
Louis saw their difficulty, but could
devise no way of covering their tracks
nor of discarding Cleyelands programme,
so pleasing to the British Free Traders,
hence were driven TO declare that the
message Is fair Interpretation of their
tariff opinions. The action of the Demo.
cratic majority of the Ways and Means
Committee and their report and defense
of the Mills bill are in line with the mes
sage and with the st. Louis platform. 1t
Is toe late for them to dodge aud to think
to deceive anybody by false professions.
The English press understands you
rightly, gentlemen. aud the workingmeu
and business men of this country under

Has Grover Sworn OFF,

The Buffalo Democrat is amusingly indig-
nant at the report that Mrs. Cleveland had
induced the President to swear off from
drinks. 1t evidently fears that an idea that
the President had ceased to indulge in iutox-
icating beverages will hurt him with his
party.
The "boys" of the city by the lakes re-
member Grover as one of them, who, as
Sheriff, Mayor, and even as Governor, was
not averse to crooking the pregnant hinges or
the elbow ere night could follow morning.
The Democrat hastens to reassure them by
saying
We know from the best sources that Pres
ident Cleveland remains true to his habits of
life, which are entirely solid and free from
any inclination toward temperance nonsense
We know especially that very recently in a
social circle with friends from Buffalo he has
taken spirituous drinks. not privately or
sneakingly, but publicly and in the evident
consciousness that he was doing something
lawful and harmless. In regard to the as
sertion that the President has sworn off, we
simply repeat our averment that this is un
true. Thus the false assertion of
the Chicago Mail respecting Mr.. and Mrs
Cleveland was calculated to make an unfav-
orable impression upon voters who are pre-
pared in the present campaign TO support the
President.
Tut, tut, tut What won't these wicked
Republican papers do in the way of cam
paign SANDER? How could the Mail have
been so cruel and reckless as to saw that
Cleveland had sworn off? 1t won't go down
in Buffalo, where they know him, but it is
rather calculated to weaken him elsewhere

Yet the st. Johnites will not be dis
turbed by any stubborn facts of this kind.
They will stick by their allies as they did
