A RUNNING MATE.

The Democracy Hard Pushed to Find .
Man to TroteAlongxade Of Grover.
The Democratic party is in Q stew over
the selection of q running mate for Grover
Cleveland The greedy horde are not wait
ing for the Office TO seek the man, but are
in hot pursuit for the honor conveyed IN
the Office. To be consistent it will be neces-
sary to nominate a man whose views on the
tariff are in sympathy with the Presidents
and who cares as little for civil service and
other reforms as he. II is intimated from
the private Office ofsthe White House that
William II. Morrison, OF Illinois, at present
member of the Interstate Commission,
would be particularly acceptable TO the
President. The latter imbibed much Of his
free trade nonsense from this source and
could meekly as well as easily follow dur
ing the coming campaign where Morrison's
extreme theories might lead.
II Morrison should be nominated his in
terview with a delegation Of working-men,
who waited on him after the introduction of
the - horizontal tariff bill, to beg that he
would not ruin the industries il which they
were engaged and during which he practi-
cally told them TO seek q warmer cline and
that he did not care d-n for the working
men, would make particularly interesting
campaign literature for the Republicans.
In addition TO Morrison there are Pension
Commissioner Black, Governor Gray. OF
Indiana, First Assistant Postmaster Cen
ersl Stevenson. Secretary Villas, and Con-
gresham Cultivate, of Ohio, who are an
nouuced as available candidates so far as
their tariff sentiment IS concerned.
Black has been using the officers and en-
ployes of the Pension Department to further
his interests ever since he became its head.
IN sore instances his abuse Of the authority
vested in him became so notorious that he
was warmly condemned on all sides and es-
peclally by the soldiers.
Governor Gray, of Indiana, is very well
known throughout the country for his politi-
cal performances in the Hoosier State in
1884. 1t is declared that next TO Morrison
the President would be pleased with Gray.

Courage of . Confederate Maiden-Cen.
Streisht's Capture.
As Cen Streight approached Gadsier.,
Ala, in making his great cavalry raid, Gen
Forrest was close upon his heels with 1000
men who might properly have been called
''ragarnufiins' They were in various uni
forms, armed in variousw ways, and not moro
than half the command had saddles. They
were biting away NJ the Federal generals
heels hoping TO bother him until force
could get in his front, when he came %

rains. AS soon his troopers were over the
rear guard proceeded 10 arrange for burn
ing the highway bridge. This was close to
the house of a widow named Samson Tho
family was composed only of the mother and
daughter, the latter a girl of Ii.
There was sharp fighting between the Fed
eral rear guard and FORESTS advance. but in
stead Of seeking the shelter OF the kouse tho
girl, Emma By name, was out where she
could see all mat was going on She was a
strong sympathizer with those who wore tho
gray, and when the Federals began pilins
rails on the bridge she realized how Forest
would be baked by its destruction. She
ran, bareheaded, to tho spot and began pull
ing the rails Of and 1t was only when two
men seized her arms and led her away that
she desiSted- The bridge IVES held b. tho
Federals until its destruction was certain,
and they then retired into the town. When
Forrest came up he found his further advance
completely checked, and in his trouble be-
rode up 10 the fence where mother and
daughter stood and asked IL there was no

a mile away, and "a: once offered 70 guide tho

il. He has no rival in his own party whom

him and the probability OF his reelection is
the possibility of the Republicans nominal

singular hold upon the confidence and re

SQUEEZING OUT MUSIC.
A Good Story on the President-His MAJ
esty Likoned TO . Concertina.

A very fair story, according to an Eastern
paper, is told of an interview which Gen.
eral Patrick A Collins had short time
ago with President Cleveland. The General
is leading Irishman. anG one of those who
were most outspoken in his contempt for
the Presidents fondness for the mugwumps.
The two met in the Capitol, when the Presi-
dent motioned Collins aside, and, speaking
of his message on the tariff, said
What do you think, General, of the truu-
pet blast | blew for the partyf'
Collins, who is bluff and outspolen, re-
piled:
% 1t was quite loud and awoke good
many echoes. 1t is doubtful, though, II the
echoes were not q good deal like those OF
Muckross in Ireland laughing ones"
"Hal hal" laughed Grover, as well as he
could under the circumstances. "You are
facctious, General; STILL if understood you.
you may be willing to admit that at least
was a good trumpet"
"Well, now, as to that" quickly replied
the General, Il will be frank with you. If
the leader of our party is to be hkened TO
any thing in the shape Of musical instru-
ment, it ought to be concertina."
''How is that.n asked the President.
"Well, you see, the free trade men can
AID the high tariff men grasp the other and
you yield to them. | don't know any thing
that you resemble more than q concertina
Pull it in and out and at either end, or at
both ends at once, and it is equally pliable."

Indiana Democrats.

There is peculiar feeling among leading
Democrats in regard to the candidacy of
Judge Gresham, says Gath in the Cincinnati
Enquirer They both fear and desire his
nomination, rather paradoxical it is true, but
susceptible of explanation. They fear his
nomination on account of his integrity and
strength, and they desire that he be nomiu-
ated for the reason that if elected he would
make a President of broad, liberal views,
safe and conservative Aside from these
two gentlemen, Harrison and Gresham,
Senator Sherman has many friends in
Indiana and Blaine many more Had Blaine
renamed in line he would have caused Har-
rison and Gresham great deal of trouble,
one Of the formers friends, and one who is
looked upon as strong adherent Of the ex-
Senator, remarking recently that he was
sorry Blaine withdrew from the race, add
ing: Il am tired of these milk-and-water
people and would like to see positive man
nominated by my party" This man Will be
. delegate to the National convention, too.

Mr. Alien Knowlton, of Magnolia, Mass,
has received the following note from Presi-

Accept my thanks for your obliging note
of the Sth inst. ! am glad to know that my
sentiments are approved by the citizens OF
my native country. The Democratic party
is endeavoring to reconstruct the history OF
this country, and if they keep on going for
the next ten years as they have done for the
last it will be impossible to tell which side pre-
vailed in the late contest The Corcoran art
gallery here is full Of pictures OF rebel Gener-
ais IN uniform, with not a slnSlo Union COM
mander to keep thom company. The official
records of the war of the rebellion, now be-
ing published, are habitually mutilated in
order TO give color TO events, and they now
propose to destroy the manuscript after the
volumes are printed, in order that their
misrepresentation. may escape detection.
The people of the North may awake from
their Indifference and their confidence too
late The Southern Confederacy is an &C

Tariff Legislation in the Past.

In 1882, the Democrats, with jackson as
President, controlled the Government, says
the Toledo Blade, and passed the Tariff Re
duction bill which paralyzed the industry Of
the country, and which was followed by the
panic Of 1887. Although this measure was re-
luctantly consented to by some of the lead
ing Wings as compromise of threatening
difficulties with the slave-holding States, it
was essentially Democratic in origin and
support.
The Wings came into power in 1910, under
President Harrison, and in 1912 adopted a
strongly protective tariff, in spite of an al
most solid Democratic opposition. The
adoption of this bill was the signal for re-
vival of activity in every branch of bust
ness. But the Democratic free trader,
Polk, was elected in lS4S, and two years
later his party passed free trade bill, and
the usual economic results followed-stag-
nation Of business, a collapse of our indus
tries, and a steady drain Of money to
Europe

The last session OF the legislature,
says the Statesman Of the 2Sd, appro-
priated the sum of $4,000 as an "in.
sane" fund, to be used for the con-
veying of insane and idiotic persons
from the county seats when they are
committed to the insane asylum in
this city. Out Of this fund Sl5,9 1885,
60 had been expended for this pur-
pose yesterday morning, leaving only
S63.40 in the state treasury that could
be applied to this use, and the COM
mitment of the insane tailor from Al
bany yesterday reduced this balance
to about $40. When this amount is
paid ont, as it will be in day or two,
most likely no more warrants Gan be
drawn ON the fund until the legisla-
ture make a new appropriation; so
the sheriffs and guards that convey
insane to the asylum will have to ac-
cept deficiency certificates" payable
after the new appropriation is made,
as remuneration for their services.
These deficiency certificates" are
generally accepted by banks at their
face value, however, so the running
short of the fund will work no par
ticular hardship. The appropriation
of $4,000 for conveying convicts to
the penitentiary has balance Of g..
GIFTS and will not become deficient.
