Since the announcement of the Re
publican platform at Chicago, there has
been a fearful amount of silly talk in
dulged by the Democrats. that the Re-
publican party is in favor of free
whisky" Now the revenue revision
proposed by the Republicans is in a
nutshell to repeal the tobacco tax,
SS2, 100000; to remove the duty on
alcohol used in the arts and sciences,
$4,000, 900, and to remove the duty
on sugar and molasses, S5o,ooo,ooo.
This would reduce the revenues So2,-
ooo, 900, which is all the reduction that
can be safely made, and would not dis
turb the industrial interests of the coun-
try nor cripple and impoverish the
labor element.
But if it should be found that a fur
ther reduction of revenues Is advisable,
then the entire internal revenue system
should be abolished, thus RELOCATING to
the States the taxation of alcohol used
as a beverage. This would not only
enable the States to lay such tax upon
whisky as would help to repair its raw
ages within their borders, but it would
relieve the people of the support of the
vast army of federal officeholders en-
ployed in the collection under the
present system.

The people outside of Indiana are talk
ing great deal about the Democrats
carrying that state in November, but
this is what General Browne, IL congress
man from Indiana, says about the Repub
leans chances: They will carry Indiana,
New York, New Jersey and Connecticut,
and, when the Democracy wakes up the
morning after election, they will be the
mosG surprised party this country has
ever seen. General Browne knows the
Indiana voters much better than many
wise ones now discussing the situation.

No doubt is entertained in New York
says the correspondent of the Philadel.
phia Ledger in that city, that Mr..
Blaine will enter heartily into the cam
paign in behalf of Harrison and Morton.
The suggestion made IN certain quar-
tiers that he will let General Harrison
fight his own battle without assistance
from him on the plea that that was what
he had to do for himself in 1884 meets
with no credence there. All reports
unite in stating that Mr.. Blaine, after
his reception in thta city, will enter the
campaign in Maine, which ends in
September, and will then make trip
across the country, speaking in the
principal cities. R. c. kerens, Mr..
Blaine's closest Western friend, IS
quoted as saying that the Maine states
man will make just such tour through
the country as he did in 1854, only,
not being candidate, he will have
greater freedom of uttersnce and argu-
ment. There can be little doubt that
Mr. Blaine will strive earnestly for Mr..
Harrison's election. Even his enemies
have never accused him of being
sulker. When defeated for the nomi-
nation in 1876, and again in 1880, he
threw himself earnestly into the cam
paigns that followed. His appearance
on the stump this year will be one of
the most interesting features of the
campaign and of unquestionable advan.
tage to the Republican cause.

The Democrats are claiming Cali
fornia for Cleveland as an offset to the
possible loss of Indiana. But Senator
Mitchell, of Oregon, who ought to I'M
derstand the sentiment of the Pacific
Coast, says that Gen. Harrlson'S Chinese
record will not injure him in California.
Like many men in the East" he said,
"Gen. Harrison is conservative, and be-
heves that when a treaty is made with
nation it should be respected. A
majority OF the people in the Far West
are so pronounced against Chinese i'm
migration, l believe they would almost
be willing to sweep away treaties to
prevent it. California is Republican
State, and will 60 for the Republican
ticket" Oregon he says, will repeat
its big Republican majority of last
month.

RODNEY's RIDE.

| In that soft midland where the breezes bear
| The north and the south on the genial air.
Through the county of Kent, affairs of state,
| Rode Caesar Rodney, the delegate.
| Burly and big, and bold and bluff.
| In his three-cornered hat and his suit OF snuff
| A foe to King George and the English state
| Was Caesar Rodney the delegate.
| Into Dover village he rode apace,
| And his kinsiok knew, from his anxious face,
| 1t was matter grave that had brought him there
| 10 the counties three upon Delaware.
| Money and men we must have" he said
'Or the Congress fails and our cause is deal
| Give both and the king shall not work his
will
We are men, since the blood OF Bunker Hill-'
Comes a rider swift painting bay;
"Holo Rodney, no you must save the day,
For the Congress halts at a deed so great,
And your vote alone may decide its tater'
Answered Rodney them Il will ride with speed :
1t is Lii erty's stress: it is Freedoms need
When stands it," Tonight. Not moment
spare,
But ride like the wind, from the Delaware"
"Ho, saddle the black I've but half day,
And the Congress sits eighty miles away
But I'll be in time, if God grants me grace,
To shake my fist in King Georges face
He is up: he is off: and the black horse flies
On the northward road ere the .'God-speed -
dies.
1t is gallop and spur as the leagues they clear,
And the clustering mile stones move a-rear
1t is two of the clock; and the fleet boots fling
The FieldsborO' dust with clang and cling.
1t is three; and he gallops with slack rein where
The road winds down to the Delaware.
Four; and he spurs into Newcastle town:
From his painting steed he gets him down
"A fresh one, quick: not moments wait ~
And off speeds Rodney the delegate.
1t is five; and the beams of the western sun
Tnge the spires of Wilmington, gold and dun
Six; and the dust ofthe Chester street
Flies back in cloud from his courser's feet
1t is seven: the horse-poat, broad of beam,
At the Schuylkil ferry crswls the stream
And at even-fifteen by the Rittenhouse clock
He filings his rein to the tavern Jock.
The Congress is met the debates begun
And Liberty lags for the vote of one
When into the Hall, not a moment late.
Walks Caesar Rodney, the delegate.
Not moment late . and that half days ride
Forwards the world with mighty stride: -
For the Act was passed, ere the midnight stroke
Der the Quaker City its &c hoes woke
At Tyranny's feet was the gauntlet flung:
I'VE are free. all the bells through the colonies
rung.
And the sons of the free may recall with pride
The day OF delegate Rodney's ride.

The Buffalo Meas, which supported
Cleveland in 1884, has announced
editorially that it will oppose his candl-
dacy this year, and gives its reasons IN
full. In substance the reasons given
are misconduct in Office, disposition
spoiled by success, the adoption of a
dangerous system OF tariff reform and
the like. As the Meas says: " / c has
developed what the boys call the big
head since then, and makes the same
mistake Louis XIV is said to have

A CHANGE IN CLEVELAND.
He now wants Places for Working Demo-


He now wants Places for Working Demo-
Gratis.
WASHINGTON. July 2.-There is a cool
ness between President Cleveland and
his wbilom favorite, Postmaster General
Dickinson Mr. Dickinson was made
postmaster general by Mr.. Cleveland for
the sole purpose of wedding out any and
all Republicans who might still remain
in the government employ. Mr.. Dickin
son understood his duties, and soon the
heads of Republican postotfice depart
nent men not protected by civil service
law began to fall right and left. But
though he discharged tried and efficient
men on most trivial grounds, and always
supplied their places by able, working
Democrats, yet work as he might, be
could not satisfy Mr.. Cleveland. Now
tnat the campaign is about to open and
the fatefuI November, day draws nigh.
Mr. Cleveland has expressed renewed
anxiety that all Democratic murmurings
be made to cease by the seductive JOY of
a pleasant office, and MIR. Dickinson has
been notified again to weed out obnoxious
Republicans everywhere. But Mr.. Dick,
inson believes that he owes something to
his own reputation as Chief of the Post
office Department, the most important
branch of the government. He has al
ready discharged every Republican whose
place could be filled by Democrat, but
he is afraid to go further. There are still
many Republicans left in the department,
but they are all men in responsible posi-
tions, where careful training and long ex
perience are absolutely indispensable, and
the Postmaster General knows very well
that such offices cannot be filled by green
Democrats, no matter how valuable their
past services, or how varied their pOliti.
Cal training and experience may have
been. He fatty refused to make any
further sweeping removals, despite MIR.
Cleveland's urgent desire, and GOODNESS
has in consequence, sprung up between
the President and his pet.
Similar orders have been issued in all
the other deparements, and the next week
will witness wholesale dismissals. Among
the first victims will probably be Chief
Clerk Tweedale, of the War Department.
Mr.. Tweedale holds the best position i'll
the War Department.; nor is his position
shielded by the Civil Service law. Ever
since Mr.. Cleveland came into power,
hundreds of prominent Democrats have
hungered for Mr.. Tweedale's place. The
fact, then, that he has been retained de-
spite his past avowal of his Republican
politics, despite the outside pressure, and
despite the fact that he could, in all
these years, have been removed by the
Presidents request or order, shows how
satisfactorily and capably he has fulfilled
his duties. But the campaign is open
now, and Tweedale and thousands of
other Republicans will have to go.

Tom 0chiltree's Story.

Col. Thomas Ochiltree. with a SUSPECT
ously red handkerchief in his hands,
which he vigorously protests is not a
"bandana," tells this story: when
Thurman was in the Senate one of his
fellow members was Henry G. Davis of
West Virginia, the father in law of S. B.
Elkins. An important debate came on,
in which Thurman took a leading part.
In the midst of it Davis went to sleep
with his head on his arm on his desk
Thurman stopped to blow his nose, and
it is one OF his personal peculiarities that
on such an occasion he literally wakes
the dead. On this occasion he woke
Davis. who, in early life, was a Baltimore
and Ohio brakeman. and who, as he
opened his eyes, caught sight of Thur
mans red bandana waving in the air. In
his half-dazed condition he coupled the
sound and the bandana into a railroad
danger signal, and grabbing his desk be
attempted to twist it around like an old
fashioned brake before he remembered
where he was and began to laugh at his
delusion.'
