Bokorny can tell you that albumen is

The S. s.


Our esteemed contemporary. the Cineln-
natl Iaq,arer, both asked MS by its repre-
sentative and also telegraphed us three
questions, to which we replied orally and
by wire, to the effect
First-That it was hard to say who
would be the Republican nominee for the
Presidency. although personally chopped
he would be Chauneey NJ. Depew
Second-That We thought Grover
Cleveland would be renominated by the
Democrats, because Ne is the strongest
member Of their party except jefferson
Davis; and
Third-That We think the Republican
will be elected
In it, report the Enquirer unintention-
ally buried the stinging point Of the see
ond answer in such way as 70 make it
desirable for us to polish it up as a
sharp and glittering arrow, and We take
the liberty to wing it anew.
The question came just as we had been
examining the Southern newspapers and
gathering the overwhelming testimony
of the fiery aud scornfll Southern heart
to the imperishable virtues Of the mot
lost cause, and the heroism and moral
and national grandeur fits chief, WHO'S,
and always will remain, the idol and
leader of the Solid SOUTH
Al the same time We had just perused
a vast mass Of letters sent Us from Re
publican homes and hearts in many lo-
cations through whilom slavedom, truth
fully pictnring the surveillance, ostraeism
and iniquity established by law, to which
they are everywhere subjected.
The Southern leaders well knew what
they were doing in the last days of the
Hayes administration wheh they falsely
cried out against military despotism. in
order to be rid of United States protec-
ton to honest voters in their midst who
dared to be Republicans. And now that
that protection has been Withdrawn, the
only contest between those who dare to
vote is, which side was, always has been,
and forever will be, most devoted to the
not lost cause; and the victory invari-
ably belongs to that side which best
satisfies this test. An occasional local
option or Temperance issue may spring
up, but both sides then, too, faunt the
banner of treason, and both proclaim
themselves to be, and are, only Demo-
Gratis, red-hot in devotion to the mot
lost cause
Should the Solid South bolt the st.
: Louis Convention and nominate JefFer-
son Davis, Grover Cleveland would not
carry single State. The Republicans
will carry every Northern, Eastern and
/ Western State, and jefferson Davis the
remnant. And now is the time, If ever,
for the $ 5. to honestly express their
convictions and aspirations.
Cleveland has disappointed, neglected
and betrayed them long enough. let
come boldly and fearlessly to the front
and put up their favorite, their chief
their idol.-Ne,r York Nal and Express.

BoSton's Giant Gorilla.

Boston has received from Africa the
largest gorilla ever landed in this eoun-
try. His name is Jack, and he is five
feet in height when standing erect, and
measures seven feet from the end of one
outstretched hand to the other He
weighs about l25 pounds, and exhibits
enormous strength, compared with which
that of man seems like child's. He ar
rived in large box made of planking
two and a half inches thick, and when
being removed from the ship he tore
large splinters from the hard wooden
planks with as much ease child would
break twig. The hair, which is very
coarse, and from two to four inches in
length, is of greenish-gray color, and
on the back, legs and arms inclines to
black. His shoulders are immense. The
expression of his face, which is black, is
scowling. The eyes are small, sunken in
the head, and the lips are large and thin.

A Neat Bit of Evasion.

Not bad example of an ambiguous
answer is reported by northern tourist
as coming from the pilot of a steamboat
on the Georgia coast The tourist, who is
a Yankee and was Union soldier, was
engaged in an easy conversation with the
pilot moment of the latter's relaxation,
and the pilot told him certain war REM
iniscencrs of an interesting character,
without, however, directly intimating
that he had any personal part in them.
So the Yankee asked:
(which side were you on during the
warP"
The pilot gave him glance which
seemed to cay, You are too inquisitive'
and then answered:
Il was on the other side F"
Then he changed the subject of con-
versation. The northern visitor is still
speculating as to which "the other side
was the other side from the question
er's, the other side from the side Georgia
was on, the other side of the ocean, or
the other side of the Canadian border.
