A MODEST MAN.
treaSOuaE

Mayor Hewitt of New York is not only
an honest man, as all parties admit, but
he is also modest man. Here is proof
of his modesty from his own pen. Re.
ferring to his candidacy for reelection
as mayor he has this to say of himself:
If were any other man than Abram S.
Hewitt should certainly vote for Abram
S. Hewitt for any Office to which he might
aspire. l would reason thus: Here is a
man who is not under the rule of any band
of politicians, who, while he has made
mistakes. has tried conscieutiously to per-
form his duty towards the people, and has
shown straight-out manly way of deal
ing with the difficulties that have presented
themselves, and we can certainly do no
better than to give him two years more
trial.
Here is the proof of Mr.. Hewitts mod
esty. If he were any other man than
Mr.. Hewitt he would be in favor Of Mr..
Hewitt's election; but as he happens to
be Mr.. Hewitt he is too modest to sup
port the man of his choice.
The modest old man must have blushed
worse when he wrote the above than he
did when he gave the Widow Hammers
ley in marriage with kiss to the Duke
of Marlborough.

AN EYE WITNESS.

Mr.. T. f. Halvey, prominent wool
merchant of Philadelphia has been con-
verted from staunch Democrat to a
most earnest protectionist by a ten
weeks tour in Europe. and the first
thing he did on arriving home was to
don a Harrison and Morton button and
declare his intention to vote for protec-
ton in November. Mr.. Halvey says that
when he went abroad he was in favor of
the Mills bill, but after travelling over
Ireland, England, France, Germany,
and going as far as Constantinople and
Odessa, he saw nothing over there that
he would transplant to this country,
land God forbid that the same condition
of things should prevail here that pre-
walls at the present in England" He
says further:
went into no detail in regard to the
wages that were paid the mill operatives
over there. l saw the result, that was
enough. No matter what any one else
may say. can see nothing at the door OF
which these results can be laid but free
trade. At breakfast one morning in
Bradford, England, l looked out of my
window and saw probably 1000 WON en-
and girls going to work at the mills i'll
the neighborhood. 1t was cold, wet,
disagreeable morning, when an overcoat
not only felt comfortable, but was
needed, and yet in that crowd of women
| don't believe there was single bonnet
or hat. Most of them were barefooted
or wore heavy wooden shoes. Why, the
poorest operative in any of the mills here
has her hat with its launtv feather, and
in winter a good warm coat. The con-
dition Of the mill workers over there is
most deplorab!e.
Regarding the overworked argument
of the tariff reformers about the cheap
ness of the poor mans blanket in Eng
land, Mr.. Halvev says:
Il saw this Door mans blanket and
there is not poor man in this country
that would wish to purchase one. They
are not the same kind of blankets that
are manufactured out at the Falls of the
for they put the same kind
of wool in these blankets that we do in
carpets. l bought some wool that |
wanted for carpets and against me were
English bidders that desired to purchase
it to have the same made into blankets.
They have way of putting soft finish
on the blankets but it soon wears off and
then they are hard and rough and you
might as well cover yourself with a
piece Of carpet. | am wool importer,
and if any one is 10 be benefited by free
wool it is I, and yet heaven forbid that
we should have free wool here"

a DOLLAR A DAY,

The New York World publishes in full
the testimony of the witnesses who, it is
claimed, heard Harrison say a dollar a
day was enough for any workingman.
1t is needless to add that the published
testimony does not show anything of the
kind. Only one OF the witnesses, in fact,
pretended to repeat the exact words of
General Harrison, and that one, after
saving ''these were the exact words, J"
proceeded to quote what he alleges was
the speech of the general. Strange to
say, this quotation of the exact speech
does not refer even remotely to the ques-
ton of wages The other witnesses all
say that they do not pretend to remem-
Der the words spoken.
The nearest the most prejudiced wit
ness comes to the ''dollar day" story is
this He says General Harrison told the
men that dollar day was all the COM
pany would pay and advised them to take
that rather than remain idle, for, said
he, "a man can live on dollar day"
Another witness says the general ad-
vised the men to take dollar a day ''un-
til they could do better"
The statements in the World are con-
tanned in most bitter speech made by
free trade Democrat and are wholly ex-
parte statements. The speaker who pre-
sents this testimony is denunciatory in
the extreme against General Harrison.
His speech and statements fill several
columns of the World.
Yet the whole thing should be pub
lished by the Republicans as campaign
document. If published it will make
thousands of votes for the Republican
ticket.
1t not only fully disproves the silly
charge against General Harrison. but it
shows that in the midst of the intense
excitement of the riots of 1877, when
human life was being sacrificed and
after millions of dollars worth of prop
erly had been destroyed in a neighbor-
ing state. the mutterings of the storm
were heard in Indianapolis.
In this crisis General Harrison was for
law and order. His talk to the strikers
was to induce them 70 so to work, even
if they had TO take smaller wages at first
He felt that idleness might lead to law
lessness.
After the strike was over his efforts in
behalf of the strikers showed that he
was their generous and trusted friend.

AN OUTRAGE UPON HUMANITY.

As far as the outcome of the presiden-
tial contest is concerned 1t will make but
little difference whether Mr.. Thurman
continues to be paraded before the public
| or not. but for decency's and humanity S
sake he should be taken back to his home
and permitted to remain in the quiet of
| It's peaceful precincts. 1t Is absolutely
an outrage upon decency that the kind
hearted old man should have been
dragged from his home in the decrep-
itude Of his old age as he was simply as
matter of expediency to bolster up If
possible the failing fortunes of the party
that had been weighed in the balances
and found wanting. The pitiable spec
tacle presented at the Madison Square
meeting in New York Thursday after
noon where, in attempting to perform
the part assigned him ami which was
beyond his physical power to perform and
resulted in a collapse, is enough
to create feeling of supreme disgust.
The methods employed by the managers
of that party to ravish the public OF
coveted success mainly for personal
ends, merit public eXecratlon.
From partisan standpoint Republi-
cans would be only too willing for the
spectacles presented by the Old Romans
appearance before the public from the
beginning of his outing campaign up to
the present time to be continued to the
close of the canvass; nothing from that
side so far, aside from the faux pas of
the chief executive, has contributed SO
much to the advantage of the Republi-
can party as Mr.. Thurmans public
utterances, but the Republican party
does not need his assistance; it has the
contest already won, practically. But
for humanity's sake they protest, as they
have a right to, against the further
prosecution of such barbarous practice.
AS gross and lacking of the finer quail
tiles of sentiment and feeling as Mr..
Cleveland is represented to be, he was
too considerable of the common proprle-
ties of life, whether for the interests of
the public service or not, to impose upon
Mr.. Thurman, four years ago, the bur
dens and responsibilities Of a position in
his cabinet which. but for his age and
physical liabilities to discharge he would
certainly have received. His selection
for the second place on the presidential
ticket, as everybody knows, was simply
a matter of expediency, prompted by
the hope that he would perchance save
the party from defeat; but if anything
were lacking to insure its overthrow the |
eudeavors of the supplemented old man
is enthusiastically supplying the deficiency.

The duty of electing United States
senator devolving upon the next legisla-
ture, the opposition TO the Republican
party will, beyond question, make united
effort. as far as it can be done, to defeat
the candidates Of that party in both
branches of the legislature. 1t stands
the party in hand, therefore, to be on
the alert and to make no mistakes, either
in the selection of candidates or in the
management OF the campaign. There is
not the slightest danger of defeat with
judicious management all along the line,
but without it there may be break in
the line here and there.
