that very town of Cumberland in honor
OF the nomination of Gen. HarrisOn's
grandfather. 1t formed one of the most
novel features of the Tippecanoe cam
paign, and was rolled from Cumberland
to Baltimore, where it was subsequently
broken up for kindling wood. That ball,
however, was not nearly as large or
elaborate as the one which is to be
started rolling in this parade.
The ball is canvas-covered sphere,
AZ feet in circumference, and is built
about an immense wheel or rim on
which it rolls. This wheel is about s
inches thick, Of heavy wood, with a
quarter-inch iron tire. From its inside
edge 38 iron hoops bend toward the
poles, and upon these the canvas cover
is stretched, the number being symbol
ical of the states of the Union. Fifteen
gross of screws and 12S bolts were used
in the construction of the monster, and
the whole weighs over 1000 pounds.
though it rolls easily and may be pro-
PEELED by couple of men. The shaft
of the ball is a piece of 3-inch gas pipe,
which projects one foot at either pole.
On this are fastened two standards,
working on rollers, to prevent the ball
rugged to the shaft, so that enthusiastic
Republicans can pull the monster along
like fre-engine.
The ball was made by D. E. Brockett,
of Cumberland, Md, who will accom-
pany it on much Of its travels. In red
letters on one end are painted the
words: Cumberland, Allegany Co.,
Maryland" Some of the other mot
toes are as follows:

ton meeting held in Cumberland on the
I'd inst, and after preliminary roll it
was taken apart and shipped to New
York. It is not proposed to roll it along
the country roads from one place to the
other, but to ship II by rail and put it to-
gether, SO that it may appear sin the
campaign parades all over the country.

We quoted Mr. Geo. w. Childs, editor OF
the old PHILADELPHIA Ledger, the leading
Republican paper of Pa, two or three
times during the campaign, MS saying that
President Ceveland's administration had
been the purcst and freest from scandal of
any since that of President Lincoln, and also
said IN this connection that the promi-
ncncy Of Mr.. Childs would probably have
secured for him the nomination at the
last Republican convention had he been
willing to allow his name to be used in
that convention. In sorting up the ex-
changes laid away for iuture reference We
find copy of the Ledger OF June 9th, 1886,
which publishes two articles from leading
papers As samples of the kind expressions
for Mr.. Childs, and mentions many private
letters received urging his candidacy,
which made necessary what mention
made OF the matter in the following para
graph from that sam issue:
OF course such expressions are very
gratifying to Mr.. Childs as exhibiting
strength of personal regard for which he
il at loss to make adequate acknowledge
ment. That il the one light in which he
prizes them, and lie prizes them very high
". But in so far as they suggest that he
should be nominated for President OF the
United States, that is another sort OF mat
,er-still gratifying as token of warm
good will but at the same time looking to
an imposlbllity. Mr., Childs is quite well
aware that the estimaSle journals that
have made favorabls mention OF the sug-
gestinn, and the numerous Influential
friends who have written him on the sub
ject. do not pretend TO be invested with the
authorities and powers of National Con-
ventions, and lie is therefore not declining
an offer which is not yet made, and thst
is not at all likely TO be made, by the conn
veniion of any party organization; still
his view of what he regards as necessary /,
this particular instance, he thinks that no
even his silence should be permitted TO
give encouragement TO n proposal TO
make him nominee for President. In
deed, ii his very partial friends in the
newspaper press and other vocations who
have taken favorable notice of the proposal
we're actually invested with full Conven-
ton powers, or could influence and control
sufficient number of the voters of the
United States to make his election abso.
lutely certain-and under those circum-
stances would make the ofier-he would
then only have the stronger reason TO say,

If we will reach the cause of political
integrity with tho same prompincss of
self-assertion and the same wholesale
selfcommittal with which these fellows
are working TO debauch our politics, we
shall accomplish as much rs they can
accomplish. Integrity cannot do any
work till it voices itself. Although II
is perfectly well understood that this
thing is going on on all sides, have
hardly heard one word of protest utter
ed expressive OF the moral bahUrrence
that must be lurking in mems minds.
That adherence must be getting outside
into the air. II is great thing to help
save soul, but it is ten thousand time 8
greater thing to help save a country,
when it ia such country as ours, with
possibilities of universal blessing that
only deity can calculate, country that
ought to stand up in might and splendor
till the stars fade and the great sun goes
out.

A curious development OF organic j tur-
nalism ia the offer by Republican weeklies
in New England TO furnish their subscrib-
ers the weekly editions Of papers like the
Boston Journal and New York Tribune for
only fifty cents n year, or half the regular
rates. OF course the local newsdcalers
cannot compete with such terms, aud the
result ia that men who have been paying
such dealers n dollar year for an outside
paper will 60 TO the Office of the local pa
per and get IL for fifty cents. How can
this be done? The st. Johnsbury (Vt)
Caledonian thus expains the matter 'On
every city weekly sold by publishers in this
State at hNlf-price, the State Republican
Committee make up TO said city paper the
balance out of a campaign or other fund,
which said Committee squeeze out of Of
fee holders, ofiice-seekers, large manu-
facturees, ETC., who want their business
protected and are made to believe that
10 this end an almost free circulation Of
city papers is important The Caledon-
ian, which is an independent minded
journal, declares its own belief that the
business is "wrong in principle and per
nlcious in Practice" and explains that, as
far us il is concerned, at falls into line
simply because IL is compelled TO by the
rest OF the State press."-M \. Post.

The Indianapolis News, supposed to be
one of Harrison's organs, and to know
what will be done by the President-elect
in the choice OF his Cabinet, emphaIically
states in a recent editorial that Blaine
wall not get place IN the Cabinet. In
estimating the standing Of Blaine, the
News saysj
Blaine certainly isn't popular in New
York, where il the very idea that his
foilowers are now insinuating, namely that
he was the great figure, had prevailed,
would surely have lost Harrison the state.
