WE fail to see anything in General
Harrlson's speeches that has the ear
marks of an encyclopedia.-[Cleveland
Leader.
No, the General draws on his mag
nation largely for his facts, and gen.
orally has the statistics arranged to suit
his theories. The encyclopedia is al
ways fatal to the statesman of magma
tion-or rather, the imaginary states
man.
THE New York special to the Pitts
burg Dispatch announces that Jay
Gould is still a Republican and will give
largely to the campaign fund. In 1884
he gave $4,000. OF course he is for
Protection-of his $100,00O,OO0, all got
through Protection.
THE public debt reduction for July
is about three and a half millions.
Poor BARLEY Campbell, the most
successful of play writer's died poor, in
an insane asylum.
THE President has returnedto Wash
ington very much refreshed by the
ocean breezes and the deep sea fishing.
1t would be a good idea for General
Ben Harrison to stop talking and go
fishing.
THE Hon. VIM. R. Seward, of Roch-
ester, a prominent Republican, has de-
cided to flop. He can't stand Harrison's
views on the tariff, and is not pleased
with Morton. He says:
81 will vote for Cleveland. l am in
favor of a reduction of the tariff and l
see no way to secure it by voting the
Republican ticket"
CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER willnot take
the oath of Office now, but wait until
his return to Washington in Septem-
Der. He wants to close up his law bus
mess in Chicago.
CONGRESSMAN RANDALL is now at
his home in Philadelphia. He contin-
ues to improve.
THE Pittsburg Dispatch contains n
of its characteristic sensational dis
patches. that on Saturday night a lotof
free leaders, including a rich Canadian
capitalist, had a conference with Pres
iient Cleveland, in his yacht off Fire
Island.
THE NEws-D DEMOCRAT prints a
strange story of some wild Indians out
in Idaho whospent two hours firing at
the Moon, during the recent eclipse.
They showed about as much knowledge
of astronomy al Ben Harrison did of
the principles of political economy, in
his speech on Saturday on Protection.
Ben Harrison fred at free trade and
the Indians fired at the demon who was
eating the 400 And yet there is no
free trade, and there is no demon eat
Ing the NJ on. AS to which showed t le
least sense, Ben Harrison or the In
dams, we give it up.
MANY of the best and ablest leaders
in the colored race participated in the
National Colored Democratic Conyen-
ton in Indianapolis, last week. Among
them were j, Milton Taylor, Hon. O.
H. Taylor, Minister to Liberia under
Garfield, and Peter H. Clark, of Cincin-
matt, for % years a prominent Republi-
can and race leader.
OCCASIONALLY the honest old farm.
er goes into print. We have for tomor-
row a very interesting article from a
Stark county farmer, on the wool tariff.
When you see it, read it.
THE Republicans of Indiana are
startled by the positive announcement
that Ex-Governor Porter, Of Indiana
will not accept the Republican nomi.
nation for Governor. The willy old
Governor sees that Harrison's goose is
, cooked, and he don't want to be any
part of a busted menagerie, in Noyem-
! Der.
/, WE observe that the Senate bill fol
100000 public building at Canton, o.
has been favorably reported. 1t will
probably not get through this session
unless we should have an all summers
session of Congress.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND, being good
! staunch Presbyterian, did not fish on
: Sunday. He sailed the quiet sea from
: Bay Shore, off Long Island, to Block
Island, r. /. On Tuesday the President
8 will return to Washington.
