THUSTASM FOB CLEVELAND.

| ENTHUSIASM FOR CLEVELAND.
THE TRIBUNE receives some foreign news this
morning that will certainly please the Democrats
as much as it will discourage the Republicans.
THE TRIBUNE is Republican paper, but the
truth must be told. 1t is nothing less than that
Cleveland is running as may say like a house
afre in England. lie is going TO sweep the
country from Lands End to that other place away
up at the sharp end of the island. Harrison
hasn't ghost of show, and already the Repub-
| lican managers are pulling down their rents and
| snealSing out OF the country, looking sick
| To give the news more in detail our dispatches
inform US that Cleveland clubs are being formed
all England, and the people are wild to vote
for their favorite There was never anything like
| ID before The Solid South will feel small when
the returns roll in from England election night.
The people in the country arc just as enthusiastic
as those in the cities. Out in Observation-Disclosures
shire the grangers can be heard whooping at all
hours OF the night for Cleveland and Thurman
| They say they don't want any protection of Amer-
can industries in theirs. Over in Stratfordon-
avOnshirc the agriculturists want special election
called so they can vote early. His Royal High
ness, the Prince of Wales, IS stumping Cheyiot-
hillshire and speaking nightly. He carries trans
parency from the hotel to the hall reading:
Cleveland and Thurman ! Give us Free Trade, or
Give US Death! Yours Truly Wales, Prince and
Royal Highness TO Her Majesty" When His
Highness takes fiddle out Of a green bag and
draws his chair down to the front Of the stage,
throws one leg over the other, and plays the
Arkansas Traveller" and keeps time by slappng
his other foot the floor, the audience stands up
and yells itself hoarse. The Prince says that's
the way they do in Tennessee and he's bound to
keep up.
At a meeting in Pccadillyshire last night the
Prince produced a sensation and nearly started
riot lie pounded on the desk with his fist till
the pitcher OF ice water danced up and down, and
then he demanded in tones that oOsened his back
teeth how much longer the people Of Piccadilly-
shire were going to submit to not having their
votes counted in the American elections. This
thing has gone far enough shouted the Prince.
" 1t has now been over one hundred years since
you have been allowed to have voice In American
affairs, and it is time it is STOPPED! Here's an
election that all interested in, and we want
to the right side win Let us rise up and de-
mand that our votes be counted for Cleveland and
Free Trade Will ye stand here like slaves and
let the Republicans run this election to suit the
mere interests OF America, will ye rise in your
might and demand free ballot and an honest
count?' The people grew Wild and it took the
police to restore order careful estimate places
'Cleveland's majority in Piccadillyshre at 10000
The red bandanna is catching on right and left
The Duke Of Slackwater has had an entire suit
made out of bandannas, and is already peddlins
straight Democratic tickets among his friends in
the West End. The Earl of Gilderfuke ties a
bright red bandanna to each Of his horses tails
when he drives out in the afternoon, and when they
switch off the flies the people along both sides of
the street take off their hats and cheer. The
Queen says she isn't voter, but she is willing to
do her share, so she has tied bandanna to the
front door knob.
Further reports from the back counties con-
time to show that Cleveland is sweeping every
thing. A Harrison man was warned to leave
Robinhoodshre day before yesterday. Never
fear about the vote in the States" our correspond
ent goes to say; " Old England will give big
enough majority TO knock it out The Duke OF
Pucklechurch came in yesterday morning, and on
being questioned by our reporter, said Out in
my county enthusiasm doesn't express it at all.
If the election could be held tomorrow Cleveland
would walk away with nine out Of ten votes.
know of over seventy-five red-hot Cleveland men
in my school-district alone The Duke is fine
worker and knows what he is talking about.
The Marquis Of footing corroborated him. They
were looking well, and carried bandannas in their
breast pockets. 1 also to-day met his Grace, the
Duke of Scrooby, and he informed me that
he took the stump for honest government next
week.
Our correspondent also states that the Queen
has instructed Baron Tennyson to write cam
paign' song, and that his Lordship Is now trying
to work up rhyme to bandanna.' in which
the American singers have not anticipated him.
He says further that there is but paper in
England which supports Harrison and Morton, and
that is The Pocklington IIayrake' patent-in-
side sheet full OF three-doarshoe advertisements.
In short, Harrison and Morton don't stand any
possible show in England: Cleveland and Thurman
are the men there, and the Republican managers
showed the better part OF valor when they drew
out and conceded the fight to their opponents.
The Republicans want to put in their work
Indiana, Connecticut and other doubtful States
and not waste their ammunition on England.
Every electoral vote of Great Britain is already
practically cast for Cleveland. Let Republicans
heed the fact and bestr themselves in New
Jersey and New-York. 1t is the only salvation.
