POLITICAL POINTERS.

New York Press: The Republican party
can not have too much of the enthusiasm of
youth on its side this year. Give the young
Republicans a chance.
The Cleveland Leader is nothing if not
sympathetic. It says: "And now the brew
ers contemplate organizing trust. With
whisky already pooled and beer threatened
it will be pretty hard shedding to run q
National Democratic campaign thus year."
st. Louis Globe Democrat: ''It is as un-
American as monarchy and as reasonable
as secession" This utterance is found in
the annual message Of Governor Rusk, of
Wisconsin, and is applied to anarchy. It
would be almost as complete and appropri-
ate Characterization for the Democratic
party.
New YORK Press: It has been discovered
that Mr. Cleveland got the phrase, "a pub
lie Office is public trust" from England.
It is said it was first used in an English
court decision in 1870. Quite likely Mr..
Cleveland got his revenue policy from En-
gland, and his Secretary Of State seems to be
getting his diplomatic policy from the same
quarter. Altogether, it is an Adminstra-
ton quite too too"
Joliet Republicans and Sun: Senator Far
well is in favor of sending to the National
Republican convention the very best men
for delegates who can be selected without
instructions, and thinks the very best in
forests of the party would be served by per-
hitting these delegates to meet untram-
meled and to make their selection Of Ma
tional candidate after careful consideration.
The position of Mr. Farwen will be Endorsed
by all Republicans who hold party success
Of greater moment than booming q s.favor-

Friends Should Never Quarrel.


It has long been favorite political OBJ
servation of ours, says the Cincinnati Com
naercidl Gazette, that the friends of Mr.. Blaine
and Mr.. Sherman in Ohio should not quarrel
that such differences as there were be-
tween them might be held amicably-tha
the relations between Blaine and Sherman
were in the nature of good example to
their friends.
In 1884 Mr.. Blaine did not want to be q
candidate for the Presidency, saying that
In his judgment he could not carry the State
of New York, and therefore could not be
elected. This was not after the election,
but before the Chicago convention assem-
bled. And Mr.. Blaine said he could name
ticket that would be surely elected If
nominated, and named William 7. Sherman
and Robert T. Lincoln. Senator Sherman
was not then an anxious candidate, and said
that after the conventions of 1876 and 1884
had shown such strength for Blaine, he was
not disposed to stand in his way.
And this year he has declared the same
freely conceding that the nomination was
waiting for Mr.. Blaine if he cared to take it,
and stating, in form that was authorlta-
tive, that if Blaine avowed his candidacy
he would not contest the nomination, but
retire and give his support to Blaine. The
friends of Blaine in Ohio should turn to
Sherman with cordiality, and are doing so,
though it takes some time for them to re-
cover their disturbed equanimity.

GROWERS RUNNING MATE.

Governor Gray, of Indiana, for the Vice.
Presidency-The President Said to Have
Expressed His Preference.
A Washington dispatch to the Indianapolis
Journal says: "The announcement made at
the White House recently, through Private
Secretary Lamont, that President Cleveland
was not interfering with or making sugges-
tons about the Vice-Presidential candidate,
and that he has expressed no preference in
that direction, is untrue It may be that
Colonel Lamont is ignorant Of what is gong
on, but have indisputable evidence that
President Cleveland has stated during the
last month to at least two Democratic mem
bers of Congress that he preferred Gov
ernor Gray, of Indiana, and that he hoped
the Democrats of that State would give
Gray solid support at the st. Louis con-
vention.
There can be no doubt about this; I have
the information from two sources verbally,
and third source in the Presidents own
handwriting. If Governor Gray be nomi-
mated for second place on the ticket with
President Cleveland it will raise a large
disturbance in the Democratic ranks in In
diana unless something be done to pacify
the feeling entertained by old-time Dem
ocrats against Gray. This condition of
affairs the President is familiar with, and
he has been informed that he must do some
thing to quiet ex-senator Mcdonald, Sen
ator Voorhees,, Dick Bright and other prom
inent old-line Democrats now in this city,
or they will openly knife Gray and the Ad-
ministration during the campaign.
understand tn price of their reconcilia-
ton is the appointment of Mcdonald to
the vacancy on the Supreme bench caused
by the death of Chief-Justice Waite. That
the friends of ex-senator Mcdonald do not
ask that he be appointed to the Chief JUS
ticeship, but that he be given place on the
bench in one capacity or the other. The
President, am further informed, does not
take to the suggestion just like duck to
the water, and if he be persuaded to make
the appointment he win have to undergo
wide change of mind. He regards ex-Sen-
ator Mcdonald personally highly, but he
considers him too old for the position, for
getting that Mcdonald is more vigorous
than Lamar, who was but recently taken
from the Interior Department, where he
was too ancient for active duty, and placed
on the bench.

VETO-WHY.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-The President
to-day returned to the Senate, unsigned,
the following pension bills: Hannah r.
Langdon, Betsy Mansfield and Laura A.
Wright. These acts are vetoed on the
ground that the deaths did not result
from injuries received during the war, or
from sickness incident to any service, and
until it is established as policy that SOL
diers widows shall be pentioned, it is un-
mir and unjust to make exceptions in ia
v0r OF only such as procure the passage
Of special acts.
Now, here is another of the innumera-
BILE compications which are resulting con-
annually from the present lack of q sensi-
BILE pension system. This act of the pres
ident is simply another nail in the frame
work of general service pension.

HOPE FOR INDIANA.

The Democracy in That State Have Made
BIunders Enough to Give 1t to the Re-
publicans.
The Republican party has good deal to
hope for in Indiana this fall, because the
corrupt and inherently dishonest Democ-
racy have been paving the way to their
own defeat. The coat of whitewash with
which they attempted to hide the shame
less abuses of the insane in the State insti-
tuition; the disgraceful and inhuman man.
agement of the Southern prison, and the
outrageous permission given to the warden
toresign after his beastly conduct had been
thoroughly exposed; to which was finally
added the tally sheet forgeries-a most
startling and far-reaching crime-is rec
ord that no organization, except it had the
brazen audacity of old Beelzebub himself,
would dare to come before the people of the
State for Endorsement upon.
The Indiana tally sheet forgeries are to a
great degree parallel to the Ohio case.
Doodle and personal ambition lie at the bot
tom of both, and both are defended by the
party in which they originated. The In
diana case has, however, proved step
farther than the Ohio parallel in that its
perpetrators have been convicted and SEN
fenced, though the court and lawyers en-
gagged in the prosecution were most shame
fully and viciously ibeled and maligned by
the opposing partisan press.
There has, also, been feeble attempt to
enforce Civil-Service reform in Indiana
just feeble enough to demonstrate what a
driveling farce it is under Democratic man
agement. There are a few mugwumps in
Indiana-as many, possibly, as in this State
and they are very much displeased with
Mr.. Cleveland, so much so that they have
withdrawn from him their support.
Taking all these facts into consideration
we reiterate that there is cause for much
hope from Indiana this fall. The citizens Of
that State are as weary as tho citizens Of
Ohio were of Democratic "budge, Doodle
and buncombe," and will emulate the good
example set by the Buckeye State, in root
ing out the entire unholy gang, bag and
baggage, from the public offices where they
lie entrenched. Indiana, we have the best
of reasons to think, will join the Republican
column in 1883.

AND now the story is out that Presi-
dent Cleveland and Senator Ingalls, are
not very distant relatives. The alleged
proof runs thus: Mr.. Cleveland's grand
mother was Mehitable Ingalls,, first
cousin of Rufus ingalls,, the senator's
father. 1t is said that the senator is not
proud OF the kinship. The president
seems not to have been heard from on
the subject.
