Clare Press: Col Bliss has won his fight
in the Eighth already. 1t is now only {.

Gratiot Journal: Tim Tarsney is report
ed as saying at Lakeview that if ClevelanC
should be defeated it would be his OWE
fault; that he (Tarsney) told him (Cleve-
land) not to issue his free trade message
but lie refused TO take his advice Now
let him take the consequence. IflTim thus
failed 10 keep Cleveland from perpetrating
such blunder. why did he (Tarsney) per :

Cleveland to veto pension bills,is novelty
that sparkles with audaclty; but II will
not raise Tim in public favor even on o
