D. r. Francis.

FfoTa the Lexington lntellieencer-
Any assertion that David r.
Francis did anything corrupt in his
canvass is simply false, and in
vented because of opposing poll
teal interests. Mr.. Francis not
only conducted his canvass honest
ly and fairly, but with the greatest
courtesy. He abused nobody and
took no unfair advantages. Not
only did he avoid anything like
corruption, but he was not even
guilty of a meanness. Mr.. Francis
is a thorough gentleman, in the
best sense of that werd, 1t was
alleged against him that he was
going to resort to all kinds of dis,
reputable devices to carry st.
Louis, and that then he would be
beaten, even in his own ward.
What was the result? The best
business men IN st. Louis met ano
paid him a tribute of respect un.
precedented in the history of the
city. The primary election day
came and out of the twenty-e eight
wards Mr.. Francis carried twenty,
five. Not only that, but after il
| was done even his former OPP.
ponents joined in saying that there
had never been a f%a1rer, purer and
more honest primary in the city,
Mr.. Francis is an hsnest man; ne
doubt Mr.. Kimball is also an hon,
est man; and there is no occasion
in this canvass, and no excuse fol
mud-slinging at either of them:
and those who indulge in it there
by admit that they have at hapt
no better weapons.

HARRISON.

The action oI u club ot one thotl+
sand Irish Americans in New York,
who supported Blaine in 1854, is
attracting widespread attention,
The club, through its president,
Mr.. Edward J, Rowe, has sent res
olutions to the Democratic head
quarters denouncing Harrison and
the Republican platform.
Among the resolutions the fol-
lowing paragraphs are found,
which make very interesting read
ing matter:
The retaliation message of PreSi-
dent Cleveland to Congress proved
him Il statesman OF the highest or
der; an American capable of sus-
tanning his country's honor i'll any
emergency, and deserving the re-
spcct and support ofevery patriotic
citizen of the republic"
"Allcn &. Thurman, the Demo,
cratic candidate for Nice-president,
after a lifetime devoted to the un-
selfish service of his State and
country, stands to-day without
blame or reproach, the peer of the
purest and greatest aud wellworthy
of any honor that Il patriotic PEG,
Pile can confer upon him.
The Republican party and Its
Presidential candidates cannot in

alone, atone for the repeated utter.

Reports from Southeast Missouri
indicate that the Wheel bosses
have been badly routed. All the
noise and buster they made two
weeks ago amounted to nothing.
The very first volley from the Dem,
ocratic orators produced a hasty
and disgraceful retreat. The Dem
ocratic members of the Wheel now
understand that the organization
has been sold out to the Republi-
can manipulators, and they are
consequently Withdrawing from the
order as rapidly a possible. The
Republicans will not profit by the
bargain they made, and the men
who sold the organization will soon
sink into disgrace and oblivion.

THE BALANCING STATES.

TINE LEDGER is glad to know thai
the Democracy has a good chance
to carry Michigan and Minnesota.
1t is rejoiced to learn that we have
a fighting chance in Wisconsin.
And it candidly believes, with Sen
ator Hearst and It's California
friends, that the Golden State will
be with US in November.
There are good arguments for
these views and they are mighty
pleasant ones to hold.
But let us never forget that we
must carry New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut, or New York,
Connecticut and Indiana, or New
York, New jersey and Indiana.
Three of these States we must car
ry to make the election of Cleve.
land and Thurman sure. In them
all the energies of this canvass
must be concentrated until the re.
suit Is beyond question.
If we have any time left after.
wards we may tackle California.
But don't spread out the forces.
All great battles have been won by
concentrating the whole strength o.
the army on a very few weak
| points.
