Ar TUE PrvoT.-As New York is The
main point In the national contest, the
following words from the cool headed
Sun are interesting:
The Republican Convention met at
a time when the spirits OF the New York
Democrats are high. The good feeling
between the psrt;sans Of Governor Hill
and the parli. ans Of Mr.. Cleveland con
iinuts In spite of the mendaci.ies and
caIrmnics Of the MgEwum2s. The Presi-
DENIS red-hot American message and his
pleasing contribution to the Democratic
campaign fund have won him favor.
The election will be on November ., jus,
seventy days from today"
WHERE Is THE SIMPLETON Only a
few days ago tue Eceaiag P1st described
President Cleveland as "a plain, simple,
honest man, doing his duty in Washing
ton and giving no heed to political com
bnations or partisan campaigning" But
since the great retaliation message this
peculiar style of praise hasn't been re-
peated.
Il seems funny TO have the man who
set ND that message and fred il of in
clear ky and dull season, described as
simple.
Where was there ever a political com
bination or a piece OF partisan campaign
ing that beat the message?
Il has confounded the Republican
Statesmen Of The senate. And the end is
not yel.-N. !, sun.

Jony AND JAMES. Recent phases Of
the respective careers Of John l.. sui
Ivan and James e.. Blaine furnish some
extraordinary points of resemblance. and
promise still more. Both went 10 Eng
land with great expectations. Both re-
turned without fulfilling them. Both re-
ceiyed enthusiastic Ovalicns Immediately
on their return. Bota accepted them as
fitting tributes, one TO the champion
pugilist, the other TO the champion
friend of the American wOrkingman. -

brilliant leader of the Republican party,
and wholly fails to appreciate the nag

which have made him 50 much admired
in this country that poor Mr.. Harrison
is, geographically spt aking, million
miles the other side Of nowhere.
Nr Garrison said at Cooper Union the
other night -
Moreover Cleveland has potent ally

has done SO little taat is memorial e. Nay,
what act can be recorded as beaiing his
name This man seems not TO know The
meaning of principle, nor can the time
be traced when one seemed TO govern

A VOICE From CANADA.-Mr Laur-
Ter, leader of the opposition in the Do
minion Parliament, frankly admits that
retaliation by the suspension OF the
bonded system would BE- severe blow
| To Canada; which would fall with pecu-
liar force upon places, like 81. Thomas,
which are centers of Canadian railway
communication with the United States.
He also makes very important conces-
