/ The PhIadelphia Ledger truthfully says
that the pictures of the Chicago candidates
show the latter to possess great versatility of
countenance as it were.
| Is it wonderful that there should be an alb.
| sence of enthusiasm over the denomination of
Cleveland when the tendency is to induce a
| man to vote for reduction of his wages.
| This is what the Democratic platform means.
| One of the latest threats of the Democrats,
with which they propose to send the Repub-
| lioan party to kingdom come, " is that some
| body by ths name of Harrison was enrolled
| in Cromwelps army. This il too "far fetch
ed"
The position of the editor of the Chicago
| Staats-Zeitung is ''awful." He says that he
cannot support either Cleveland or Harrison.
| Well, there is Belva Lockwood and General
hFisk and If neither of these suit you, why not
suspend until the storm subsidies.
| NJ. de Lesseps is blamed for trying to foat
the whole of the Panama canal loan at one,
time, instead of issuing half now and half in
| December. The syndicate which engaged to
| take one-quarter OF the loan if the remainder
| were subscribed for has been released from
its contract, subscriptions having been re-
| ceived for only one-half of the loan.
From present appearances neither the Rs
publican or Democratic candidate for presi-
dent will be the object of spontaneous and
uncomfortable enthusiasm. The result will
| be that the intelligent voters will be better
prepared to formulate candid opinions con-
cerning the platforms of the two rival par
ties, and reason will take the place of emo
ton.
"Ths last French rife, as described, has
ball SO small that soldier can carry two hun
dred and twenty rounds, shoots with q new
| smokeless powder, and its bullet pierces a
brick wall eight inches thick at five hundred
yards" This may be true, but its penetrat-
| ing quality is not of sufficient power to psne-
trate the hide of an anti-preteotion Demo-
crats
| 1t is natural that Mr.. Sherman should feel
some soreness over the failure of the conven-
tion to accept him as its standard bearer.
But he has at least the consolation of know
ing that the people appreciate his virtues and
recognize the great service he has rendered
to his country and his party. Among the
great names the Republican party has given
| to the country there are few more lustrous
than that OF John Sherman.
The Boston Herald publishes list of presi-
dential tickets now in the Geld and places the
name of Alfred H. Love. upon the ticket of
the Equal Rights party as candidate for Vice
President. The fact Is that Mr.. Love refused
to run and Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood is still
"going it alone" It is well to be accurate
in regard to campaign matters at present. A
misstatement regarding the Equal Rights
ticket might, If uncorrected, make differ
| ence to q vast number of voters.
General Berdan's recent explanation before
the Senate committee on naval affairs con-
cerning his torpedo devices was of particular
interest. The model exhibited was that of a
; ram whose PROV was made to penetrate the
net suspended around the eneray's vessel,
while at the moment it struck the vessels
side an arm carrying torpedo was made to
drep from the side of the ram, and, swinging
below the bottom of the net, land the torpedo
