A Pointed Reminder.

The Philadelphia Erening Telegraph
Republican, reminds the n Y. Tribune
that during the campaign of 1884, day
after day it irrefutably proved to its own
satisfaction, that if Mr.. Cleveland were
elected President, his election would be the
signal for the shutting down of half the
industries in the land and the bankruptcy
of the others, and continues:
Possibly the Tribune belived that what it
predicted would come true, though it were
strange if it did, in view of the fact that the
platform of its party contained distinctive
and emphatic pledge that, if Mr.. Blaine were
elected, the inequalities of the tariff would be
corrected and the surplus in the National
Treasury be reduced by reduction of exces
sive duties. But whether it did or did not
believe that the disasters which it foretold
would fall upon our industries, nothing is now
more certain than that our contemporary
predictions were all wrong. Beginning with
the year 1885, the industries of the country
entered upon new lease of prosperity, and
during the last three years manufacturers
have been reaping unwonted harvests ofpro6t.
The old mills have all been running and new
ones have been added in vast numbers. In
the South the growth of iron, steel, cotton
and wooden mills has been phenomenal.
The proprietors of a few mills, here and
there, are resorting to the old trick of
threatening to shut down, but like the
bloody shirt this has grown stale, and the
more sensible among them are now ashamed
to resort to it.

Cheap Whiskey-Dear Food and
Clothing.

The Republicans purpose to make the
Presidential canvass this year on the lead
ing issues of cheap whiskey and tobacco,
but dear food and clothing. They are for
repeating the internal revenue tax on these
articles, but opposed to touching the tariff,
although they promised tariff modification
-sad refenue reform in their platform of
principles four years ago. The Democrats
having undertaken to carry revenue reform
and tariff adjustment, the Republicans
strenuously oppose them, although they
pledged themselves to this very policy in
1884, inserting it in their formulary of
principles solemnly set forth to the public
by their National Convention of that year.
Consistency is not one of the jewels in the
crown of the Republican party.

Harmony (p) in Republican Ranks.

Tuesday and Wednesday the Republi,
cans of Baltimore held their several con-
ventions. From the Baltimore Herald Of
Wednesday we take the following head
lines of the proceedings on the day pre-
vious:
Republicans at odds-Stormy Scenes at Legislative
WIN Go to Easton-west and McCaferty Men Bolt
at Y NJ C, A. Hall and Organize q Little Meeting oil
Their own-Hisses and Cat Calls.
In the second district, as we learn from
the same paper, row was imminent at any
time, and the greatest disorder prevailed.
The american of Wednesday headed its
report of Tuesdays conventions by large
headlines, as follows
Bolt in Every Hall-The Three Republican
Conventions Held last understanding About as
Far from Harmony Black is from White-A Lot
of Contests Ready for that Body.
From the Herald of Wednesday we
have:
The Breach widens-Third District Republicans
VIII Not Harmonize-Two Delegations Will ClA-
NOR for Recognition in Chicago
Yesterday was essentially day of conventions in
Baltimore, for six Of them were in session at once.
The deliberations of the Democrats were mild and
lamb-like and were pervaded by the charitable and
kindly spirit which is popularity supposed to exist
between brothers. but among the Republicans there
sufficient wrath left over from the night before
10 give decided leaven of excitement to at least
one convention, and cause bolt and the holding Of
an entirely independent meeting. This happened
at the Third Congressional district convention and
although the boilers numbered but &c when they
left the hall they had increased to 45 when they
organized, and, though no more left an opposition
delegation from the Third ward later swelled the
number to 81. As consequence, not only Messrs
w. W. johnson and VIM +. Airy will go to Chicago
from the district but Messrs. ID. Pinkney West and
John A. MeCaflerty, too. There was some kicking
at China Hall, where the Fourth Congressional dis
trict met but il did not result in eecting opposition
delegates.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1888-05-12
Was it a Sham P

Many persons believe that Mr.. Blaines
Florence letter to Mr.. Jones, declaring
that his name would not be presented to
the national convention to nominate can
didate for the Presidency, was all sham.
If so, it is but another evidence of the
mans duplicity of character, and proof
positive of his utter unfitness for the high
office. A man who could write such a
letter, for such purpose, is unfit to be
trusted by the American people, in the
high office of Executive of this great nation
of sixty millions of inhabitants. 1t shows
that he is tricky, not frank, open and dis
ingenious in character, and not such man
as should be made President.

DEAR LITTLE MAGGIE.
Did our precious, loving Saviour
Gently bear thy soul away.
To home beyond the riverP
With him there you cannot stray
There in all his tender fondness
He viii soothe thine aching brow.
There through all his countless ages
You VIII never sorrow know.
Could you have seen your loving schoorma,as
Whom you once did love TO meet
sweetly singing loving anthems,
strewing mowers at thy feet
They will miss your gentle presence
In your classes here below.
They wiz miss those little lessons
And your voice in singing too
They have one sweet consolation
Though you seem so far on high;
II they heed His invitation
They will meet you by and by.

GOLDEN MESSAGE FROM THE FAR-oFF LAND.
come to you with a message bright.
From my beautiful-home in the realms of ,;gh,.
know you would gladly go with me-
To my home across the wonderful sea.
Would rejoice in spirit, if you could stand
This morn, with me in the far-off land
But this land is hidden now from your view
BY q veil your eyes may not pierce throueh
There is work for you yet below,
Ere you come where the breezes softly blow.
When that is done shall take your hand
Ana guide you safe to the far-off land
DO you know that when you wish me near
In moment to you appear;
And nought but a veil let down from the skv
Hides me then from your longing ewes
Ana Keeps your feet on the earthly strand
out OF the beautiful far-off land
Go on in the path you have chosen: Right
snail conquer at last the legfons of NIGHTS
But a hash of light and the battle Is DER
And you will come to this golden shore,
Where am waiting to grasp your hand
And guide you safe to the far-of land.

A glance at the primaries and conven-
tions of both parties, within the past week,
reveals the fact that if politicians have
nothing to contend about, they will contend
about nothing. The chronic disagreement
between the Wells and Bannon factions
among the Democrats of Anne Arundel
county, could not be RENTED, but culmi-
mated in bolt of the Wells men, while
among the Republicans of Baltimore, on
Tuesday night, there was bolt from each
of the three conventions The contest was
for seats.

The Candidate for the Vice Presi-
dency.


The Democracy of the country is practi-
cally unit for President Cleveland. For
the second place on the ticket public senti-
ment has not yet crystalized He should
be no second rate man, but man entirely
competent to take the first place, if circum-
stances should require it, and fully in
accord with the President on tariff adjust
ment and revenue reform. Since it is not
unlikely that the next Vice President will
hold the balance of power in the Senate,
and since it is always possible for him to
be called to the Presidency, it is more than
likely that the st. Louis convention will
carefully guard against making any mis-
take in the selection of candidate for the
second place on the ticket.
