Before Mr. Blaine's declination of the
presidential nomination was emphasized
by him and made final, MIR. Curtis, the
head of the mugwump contingent, said
that that following would support any
body except Mr.. Blaine, whom the Re-
publicans might nominate. No such
declaration comes from him, however,
since it is settled that the nominee will
be some other Republican than the
Maine statesman. The only surprise Mr..
Curtis could occasion would be such a
declaration and actions in harmony
Herewith following. That would be a
surprise because no one suspects him
capable of such thing-until the party
succeeds in spite of the DETECTION of
which he is the embodiment.

1t really looks like the Republicans
will have very little to do during the
pending campaign. There bids fair to
be lively warfare in the Democratic
camp that will increase and intensity as
the campaign progresses. Nevertheless
the Republicans will be prepared for
battle at any and all times and will help
along the good work at opportune times
with telling volley from the whole
line, just to keep in practice.

The keynote of the campaign was

the close of the war.

DON'T DO IT.

The absurd and ridiculous story tele-
graphed from Boston a day or two ago
to the effect that some clergyman-name
not newfoundland just returned from
Washington and stated that the presi-
dent was abusive, even cruel, in the
treatment of his wife, ETC.. prompts US
to hope that the country may be spared
the disgraceful spectacle that attended
the presidential campaign of 1884. Per-
sonal scandals upon candidate have lit
tie effect upon the result of a campaign,
and if proven TO be true they compro-
mise not only the candidate and his sup
porters but, if he be elected, the whole
community as well. Besides, the pro-
mitigation of damaging report concern
ing candidate. even if the statements
be true, gives the opposition excuse to
retaliate in kind. We oppose this mode
of campaigning because 1t is detestable,
reprehensible, and protest now against
its being introduced this year before it is
known who will be the nominee of the
Republican party, and before any denun-
citation of falsehoods against the nominee
are called for

If the half that was uttered by the
Spokesman for Gray before the st. Louis
convention in criticism of Thurman, and
vice versa, be true then neither of them
are fit persons to fill the exalted position
for which they were named, and the
final nomination of the one does not dis
prove or dissipate what was said. Leav-
ing out the implications of unfitness, the
admissions of doubt of his election which
amounted to conviction, presages defeat
from the beginning. And SO it will be.

He is no longer a member of the COM

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-The navy
department has been requested by the
secretary of state to send man-of war to
Hayti to look after the American
interests there, which appear to have
been jeopardized by the seizure of the
American steamer Haytlan Republic at
St. Marc, and other disturbing events at
Port-au Prince. At present all of the
vessels of the North Atlantic station are
laid up in the navy yards for repairs,
except the Boston, which is now at some
Central American port beyond the reach
of the telegraph.
THE kEARSARGE TO BE SENT.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-The situa
ton of affairs in Hayti, according to
reports received at the department Of
state, has assumed such serious outlook
that it has been decided to send naval
vessel to that country for the protection
Of American interests. 1t was first
decided to send the U. S. steamship
Boston, now cruising in the West Indies,
but this plan was abandoned owing to
the difficulty Of communication with the
vessel. 1t was finally decided to send
the Kearsarge, now undergoing repairs
at Norfolk, and Commodore Harmony
10 day sent instructions to hasten work
on that vessel so she eau be put into
commission in few days. She will
proceed direct to Port tau Prince.

SAVING CABsAaEs TILL SPRING

We know Of no better way to preserve
cabbages through the winter than that
which we have recommended for num-
Der Of years. 1t is to plant OF set them
out in rows as they grow-that is, will,
the roots down; fill in with soil pretty
freely, then make covering by planting
two posts where there is a fence to rest
on, or four where there is not, allowing
fer pitch to carry off the water; lay
bean.poles opposite the way Of the pitch,
and cover with corn fodder, or straw, or
boards. In using through the winter,
avoid as much as possible the sun side
and close up again. We have not found
that setting the cabbage upside down in
the rows, as many do, is OF any advantage
as we have kept ours for more than
twenty years in the way we mention in a
sound, perfect condition, through the
winter into the spring, and could even
up to the first of May, if desirable. We
see other methods recommended, and
they may answer just as well, but as to
our own we speak from long expert.
