This is the campaign OF the wall Street
sharpers on the Democratic side. Wall Street
sneerS at morals, finds no vice in successful
swindc and fanceS that in politics also the
dishonest and disrepuablc way is as good as
any other if il wins. So we have III the White
House a President who ilops" without the
slightest regard for consistency, for public
opinion, or for the international relations Of
the country. The Retaliation Message dcgrad-
ed the United States in the eyes Of the world
because it was obviously a demagogueS trick
to catch votes The latest Chinese bill is a trick
lust as disrcputable, and to the foreign influ-
ence and relations Of the Nation just as dam
aging.
President Cleveland has strongly opposed
legislation for the absolute exclusion Of Chi
nesc immigration, on the ground that it would
be in violation Of treaty. His new treaty,
which was by the Senate ratified after assur
ance that needed amendments would not make
it unacceptable to China, is supposed in Ad-
ministration circles to have been rejected.
Thereupon the Presidents advisers, with a
genuine spectators indifference to consistency
suddenly "bull' the stock which they recently
called worthless, and resort to legislation more
directly contrary to existing treaties than any
Of the measures which the President has op
poscd. OF course, such behavior earns the con-
tempt Of foreigners, but what care McsSrs
Cleveland, Scott, Brice ~ Co. for people who
have no votes? When they were bears" on
Chinese legislation, it was convenient to pro-
fess deep respect for treaty obligations Now
they are "bulling" Chinese exclusion, and
treaty stipulations are Of no consequence.
What a contemplate Government this would
soon come to be, in the eyes Of all the world,
if it should continue to have Democratic
President and party schemng for retention Of
power. What despicabe disregard for Nation
al interests or honor would be seen; what ut
terly conscencelcss readiness to resort to any
and every expedient, however inconsistent or
shameful. in the hunt for votes. If the plain

THE OLD ROMAN WILL BE GIVEN
SNUFF IMMEDIATELY AFTER TIE PER-
FORMANCE. WAITE

When a crowd Of between $50 and - had as
scmbcd il was decided to begin. The Old Roman
was accordingly assisted on to the plat form, and
after a dog-fght had been suppressed by the police
on the other side Of the street and the attention Of
the crowd secured. he addressed them con-
ccTring an alleged tax on their shirts lie wor-
rcd and took on about this imaginary tax on
their shirts for some fifteen minutes. not noticing
that about half or perhaps twothirdS. Of the crowd
had dropped away and gone homo. His manager from
a knot-hole under the stand saw it, however. and
whispered hoarscly through crack: Give EN-
the banddnna, Judge. Give EN- the old turkey
red handanna.H The Roman pulled himself to-
gcthcr and Owed into his coat-tail pocket. After
a moment he emerged. but without the handker-
chief The property man had miSaid it, Tho
Romans face grew white, and his knees cracked
together The rest of the crowd was going still
keeping on their taxed shirts The promptcr had
not been idle however, and at this point passed in
the lost bandanna on the end OF an umbrella. Tho
Roman seized it, uttered yell Of triumph, and
made the great point Of his speech Part OF the
crowd looked back, more probably would have
done 20 had not another canine misunderstanding
broken out in front Of the post Office. The Roman
was then carried to the house OF the leading local
Democrat and put to bed. The managers were
much pleased with the performance.

WILLIAM WALTER PHELPS.
How Would His Bangs ard Red Nschtie
Look In the white HouSe.

TRENTON, N. j., FEB. 10 Since the
publication of Mr. Blsine's letter suuounc-
ing his withdrawal from the race for the
presidential nomination some R;publi-
cans have frequently called attention &c
the fact that New jersey hes en- eligible
candidate for the honor ia the person Of
William Walter Phelps, VINO is now ths
representative III Congress Of the Fifth
district.
These friends are nov busilY employed
in explaining why SIR, P2slps would msks
strong candidate. They claim that /.
more eligible man cannot be found in tbs
United States, ard in support Of thi:
statement roiot to the fact that he resides
IN New jersey, wac blrn in Connecticut
kDd does bGsi7esa in New York.
They ssy that Mr.. Phelps would expe-
rierce little difficulty in carrying al! three
| at these states. He Is warm persona
friend OF Mr.. BliiLe, and wss bis cor fder'
and ore Of his managers in the disas1rou:
campaign of 1884, and they say that while
he Horld be sure 10 receive the united
support OF hMr. Blsine's friends, he Is
man to whom the mugwGDps could
raise no obi 'ctlons.
Hs is hot allied to any particular
clique or faction in the party, .rd would
be acceptable alike 20 s;aIEnrts and half,
breeds.
4 gentleman recently returned from tie
west is responsible for the ststement that
there is quite well developed Phelps
bonn among leading Republicans in In
Gisns. and another ia Colorado, where
Mr.. Phelps has g son who is eOgGged in
he newspaper business.
He says that the party leaders in To-
disns are in favor Of the nomination of
Harrison as their first choice, but II there
Is no chance OF he being the man they
would like to see Mr.. Phelps get the
nomination. They would prefer, how
ever, to gee Mr.. Phelps in second place
on the ticket with Harrison.
In Colorado the Phelps boom is mainly
for second place. The leaders are ssid TO
be strongly in favor Of Senator Allison
for the heal of the ticket, but declined to
favor Phelps in case Allison would rot be
acceptable to the rest OF the country.
They reason on the chances Tor the cleo
ton { I Allison ard Phelps In the ssme
manner that the Indiana Republicans do.
They also point hopefully to the prospect
of Mr.. Phelps populsrity in New jersey
aud Connecticut being sufficient to secure
Republican M, orities in those states,
and the possibility then Of allowing New
York to go by the board.
Democrats say they eau now see why it
was that Mr.. Phelps msde snch strong
fight last fall to secure the election OF q
Republican Legislature. They now
attribute it, not to the fact that he desired
to establish a precedent 'or the election
of q s;milSr Legislature this yesr,
when United States Senator
Is to be elected, but
for the purpose Of showing the RepubH-
cans throughout the country how much
power William Walter Phelps Yields In
doubtful New Jersey, and making 1t pos
sible to suggest to the Republican nation
al convention at the proper TINA how ad
visible il would be 10 put "WillY Wally,"
bangs and red neckt'e included, or the
national ticket for 1888.
