Il Is thought that Cleveland VIII
secure the entire electoral vote Of
England.
The River and Harbcr bill contains
an appropriation Of $4,000 for the
improvement of the upper Columbia

A protectionist editor who tries to
publish consistent Cleveland pol
icy organ these days Is entitled to
public sympathy.
The managers of the Harrison
campaign viii concentrate men and
money to the fullest extent in Indiana
and West Virginia,
If there is to be war of wives in
this campaign AIrz. Harrison will
probably have every advantage Of
Mrs. Cleveland; except being a
bride (D
We believe in the dignity of Amer
ican labor. The protection system,
which the republican party has fos-

lean labor to be dignitied.
Frank PixIey, the father of the
new American party in California, IS
opposed to separate action by has
party this year, ind in favor Of con-
solidation with the Republicans.
Blaine is coming home to do some
speaking for the republican nations
al ticket. 1t is darkly limited by Il
democratic paper that he ate after q
Chinese cook somewhere IN Europe.
MIR. Blaine proposes to enter the
canvass very actively. He Will do
his utmost for the Harrison Morton
ticket. When he speaks there viii
be music and the people will hear
him.
Morton, candidate for the vice
presidency, is a son of Vermont
Congregationalist minister. He Is
man of very exemplary habits, and of
great literary requirements. He has
received pro merito, the degree of
L. L. D.
Thaddeus B. Wakeman, one of the
leaders of the Progressive labor party
of New York, has come out for Harc
rison. MIR. Wakeman supported
Hancock against Garfield in 1880,
and in 1884 supported neither Blaine

The British Hosiery Review recen-
tly said: "We venture to assert that
England will reap the largest share
of any advantages that may arise

The chief of the forgery depart
of the democratic campaign of 1880
is said to have been promoted to be
chief of the Chinese department of
mud singing literature of 1888. The
Morey letter failed of its object,
however, and so will the Chinese
slanderer defeat his own purpose.
Ii is asserted that in Maine the
price of wool has declined Z cents
per wound since the discussion of
the Mills bill began. What the end
would be, no one could foretell were
it not that a republican senate stands
IN the way of the consummatIon of
Cleveland's free trade plans.
Cleveland is relying now very
much upon his bride as a drawing
csrd in this campaign. He was
probably old enough when he got
married and probably should have
married long ago. but be married too
soon to have the bride rachel'' draw
very heavily. No doubt, however,
that his rose is a brave woman.
Those Chicago anarchists need an-
other hanging bee They are pesti-
lent fellows whose whole influence is
against the good order and happi-
ness of the nation. They ought to
be breaking stones-eyery one of

The fiendish spirit that could ex-
plode dynamite to kill and MAIN in

There seems to have been great
carelessness in the transferring of
names on the city registers. Why,

1t is the duty of every business man
