Republicans for Governor Of North Carolina
cit is too English for me- is the way Mr..
Dana sums mp his opinion Of Cleveland's policy.
New YORK World: p. 7. Barnum's presi-
Dental boom has not been heard of much lately.
What enthusiasm there 10 for him, however, is
in tents.
SENATOR HAwLEY has accepted the official In
~vitation of the city Of Philadelphia TO deliver
the GRAFTON in Independence square on the
Fourth of July.
"REED, of Maine, and Rusk, Of Wisconsin" is

RICHMOND Palladium: One of the singulari-
ties Of the present political position il that
Colonel Ingersoll. George William Curtis and
the Chicago Tribune. It would be difficult TO
imagine . more incongruous following.

eeption will have to made this year. bowever, in
tho case of Mrs. Lockwood. for obvious reasons.
DETROIT Free Press: Bold Ben Harrison il
accused Of being q 'doe in the manger" by .

Gresham movement. Tho feeling there seems
to have become so crystallized against Gresham

opposition in the convention from that source,
but it is . grave question whether his nomina-

which the Republicans claim in Indiana, and
without which they have little hope of success.
