Abuse q, Of Z. President Cleveland. land,

70 d. v
Although there is an issue now before
the people which men may fairly discuss,
and upon which they may honestly differ,
1t is not to be expected that argument
will be addressed solely to that. There
will be the constant effort made by poll
ticians to exc out the lions skin with the
foxs. What they cannot accomplish by
wisdom they will try to accomplish by
cunning. Fair argument will be met by
abuse, equitable statement by personal
detraction. The man who cannot answer
Cleveland's Is message will say that he has
a large neck. He who cannot deny that
he has been n fearless and devoted public
servant, will say that he is fat. That
they are eager to descend to even greater
depths than these,has, been lately shown,
and that they are only held from it by q
leash Of public sentiment that will nc
longer tolerate it is no credit to them. II
Mr.. Cleveland is a large man and prob
ably wears an eighteen inch collar Let il
not be forgotten that he also wears Q
Websterian hat, that could 60 over the
ears of the men whs seem to think they
answer his argument when they call him
fat. He is man of great brain, and ht
has shown it, and tits o man of just such
avoirdupois in brain and body that the
American people want in he Presidential

Having responded to the summons Of
his party BY accepting the nomination for
the vice presidency, the Hon. Allen g.
Thurman Is learning what wicked man
his adversaries believe him to be. The
first to draw ''the dirk of defamation" on
the old Roman Is -Goxernor Joseph Benson
Foraker, Of Ohio. Governor Foraker is
an able, cultivated and vigorous gentle,
man, whose conduct, outside of politics,
reflects credit on his commonwealth. He
is so intense in partisanship, however,
that his qualities of usefulness are great
ly compromised. No leader in the politi-
cal controversies of the country has done
more to keep alive sectional ft cling than
Governor Foraker. That he has sought
to prolong strife between north and
south from any worthy motive cannot be
pretended for q moment His extrava-
CANT appeals to passion and prejudice are
the utterances not of an enlightened
statesman, but thorough paced dema-
gogue whose purpose is to obtain votes
by deceiving the people. The governor
has shown his preference for sectionalism
over national peace and unity so unmis-
takably that his standing as safe public
adviser is greatly impaired in the minds
of conservative and thoughtful men.
There is something pitiable about the
governors efforts to lower Judge Thur
man in the estimation of his neighbors.
'It is a matter of common report" For
aker is quoted as saying at Columbus,
''that Judge Thurman and all his family
carried delicacies to Confederate prisoners
while located at Camp Chase, three or four
miles from here, during the war" To
this awful charge Judge Thurman makes
an unhesitating and candid confession
He thanks Governor Foraker for calling
attention to his action and that of his es-
timable wife in providing for the sick,
helpless and impoverished captives such
relief as he was capable of giving. Those
old Republican war horses, Governors
Dennison and Todd, approved his course
and sympathized with his kindly motives.
Of course no rational being expects for O
moment that Foraker's shabby, spiteful
and shallow attack will harm Judge Thur
man, either in his own state or beyond
Ohio boundaries. An assault so puerile
can only react upon its hor.-Brooklyn

Too Much Grandfather.

It is just possible that the grandfather
business may be overdone. Tho Ameri-
can people never have shown any particu-
Ian regard for hereditary rulers or law
makers, and there is decided feeling
Just now that 1888 has not much to do
with 1910. sy ,..ar.t- t.. .r....,.
An honorable lineage is thing to be
proud, of, but not thing to boast about,
and it really counts for but little in this
country in the popular esteem for public
men. Gen. Harrison has good enough
record of his own to need no bolstering
from his grandfather, who was not very
great man himself, and in the disposition
to 60 back two or three centuries and drag
the preceding generations of Harrisons
from their peaceful graves there is some
danger of making him ridiculous.
It is not the Cromwellian. nor the Vir-
ginian, nor even ''Old Tippecanoe" that is
running for the presidency this year. 1t
is the. Indiana lawyer of the present day,
and his election is not to be decided upon
the issues of 1910 or 1889 or 1910, but on
those Of 1888. Philadelphia Times.

The Tail End of a Weak Ticket.

Mr.. Levi P. Morton, the Republican
nominee for vice president of the United
States, has q barrel-a hogshead, rather
which has been filled to overfrying by
the sweat of other peoples brows.
He has also villa at Newport, park
on the Hudson, q house ON Fifth avenue
United States minister to Paris, and per-
formed the exhausting functions of that
tasteful Office with much amiahility to
those intelligent Americans who had
bought letters of credit from his banking
house. Heis an entirely gentlemanly and
unobjectionable person, who, with thor
ough course of Cushing and Barclay,
could undoubtedly be intrusted with the
advancement of Republican monopolistic
legislation in the United States senate.
On the other hand, Mr.. Morton must
suffer because he has no grandfather-a
generic mishap which rather weakens his
Americanism as compared with that of
the head of his ticket. Nor has he any
personal identity for the average voter,
because of his awkward habit of trifing
with his mustache and beard. Neither
has he any personal following, because of
his long Continued preference for Europe
as place of habitation.. III ..l.
We are aware that we make out a weak
case against Mr.. Morton, but he is, or was,
fellow townsman, and it is our pleasure
so to do. There is no law, moreover,
which compels vice presidential candi-
date to produce grandfather, and Mr..
Morton's double eagles will soon mako the
people familiar with his influence, if not
with his presence, in this campaign.
Upon the whole, VIC believe that Mr..
Levi P. Morton will suffer less, from the
disappointment which awaits him than
any candidate the Republicans could have
selected. New York Star ."rs' ~

a "Sonfebo<ly."

In regard to Harrison's availability, so
far as his personality and record will
count in the campaign, he may be said to
be negative quantity. His nomination
will not evoke any of that original enthu-
siasm that would have followed the NOM
ination of such candidate as Judge
Gresham, for whom, in the west at least,
there was genuine popular demand. Mr..
Harrisonis, as Mr.. ingalls, would say, not
a leader. Ho is possibly somebody,
like Hayes in 1876, but he is not one of
the men toward whom one feels ON in
stinctive attraction. Chicago News.

q On Account of His Big Barrel.

OF the nomination of Mr.. Morton little
need be said, He is an ambitious rich
man. and he was nominated on account of
the size of his pile. The boys will take
off their coats for him, and they will have
something to carry them through the
cold spell, whether the ticket is elected
or not. If VIC could offer him any advice,
we. should say that he had best bear in
mind jay Gould's $4,000, and pay no
money to anybody except the chairman

Merely a Sec nd Hayes.

Harrison is another Hayes. Like Hayes,
he is of old Wing ancestry and ante
cedents; like Hayes, he has modest
record of military service; like Hayes, he
has cut brief and inconsiderable figure
in the politics of his state; like Hayes, he
brushes his hair we'll back from high
and bulgihg forehead, wears full beard,
dresses usually in black or in somber
shades and presents altogether that ap-
pearance and favor of respectable medioc-
rity which is typical product of western

NEARLY BURNED TO DEATH.
A Colored Nurse Narrowly Escapes
Cremation.

Martha Jenkins, a colored nurse for Mrs.
w H. Adams, living at No. 116 State
street, was seriously burned about the
shoulders and face, about s clock last
night, by the explosion of a can of alco-
hol The nurse held the can in her hand
and attempted TO pour the alcohol on the
blaze in the stove, when it exploded,
setting fire to her clothing and the
room. The little l5-month-old child
that she nursed sat near her when
the explosion occurred. The woman
seized the child to take it from the burning
room and held it in her outstretched arms,
so that its clothing would not take fire
At the foot of the stairs she was met by
Mrs. Adams, who took the child out of her
arms. Neighbors attracted by the screams
of fire, ran into the house and with blankets
and water soon extinguished the blaze that
had almost enveloped the nurse. Her cloth
ing was burned off and she was severely
burned about the shoulders and face Dr.
Bulloch was among those who arrived in
time TO save the woman from being burned
much worse and the house from being
destroyed He dressed the womanS burns
and ordered her sent to the Georgia in
Urinary.
