Some days ago Mr. Thurman said that he
regarded Senator Sherman as the strongest
candidate the republicans could have
nominated, but under the circumstance
that is, as Sherman was not nominated-he
thought Harrison and Morton about as
strong ticket as could be put forward
As it appears in the republican organs,
this statement is considerably gsrbled. No
reference is made to Senator Sherman, and
the old Roman is represented as saying that
the Chicago nominations are the strongest
that could have been made, and finally an
anxious organ puts the matter in the follow
ing light: Judge Humans keen, incisive
judgment has been conceded by his oppon-
ents generally. He now confirms their
estimate by frankly pronouncing Harrison
and Morton an exceedingly strong ticket"
All of these organs forget to mention one
important thing, viz, that Mr.. Thurman
expressed confidence in the defeat of the re-
publican ticket.

A Matter OF Business.

from The omaha World.
Great Statesman-The reason had that man
arrested. my boy, is because he took pay for
work which he failed to perform. That was
obtaining money under false pretenses, you see.
Little Son-I see What was the trouble
with the other man you got mad at this morn
ing?
II didn't get mad at him; he got mad at me.
He only did half the work he agreed to and
locked his pay"
II see We'll, pa you we're elected member
of congress on a platform adopted by your
party. That was regular business agreement
with the people that you would do certain
things, but the papers said you didn't do it, and
the other congressman didn't do it, either. Did
the taxpayers have you arrested for false pre-
lenses, or did they only dock your salary"
WY son. here's quarter; if you don't hurry
you'll be late TO the base ball game"

The Memphis AUdlonche has discovered
one of the coming men, and his name is
Grimes, Of Georgia. Says the Avalanche:
"Among the Southern men who are coming
to the front in congress is I. w. Grimes.
of Georgia. He belongs TO the young school
OF practical, clear-headed, Woodworking
men, who avoid display and who strive
after results. These are the mon who are

before the war. Georgia has a strong dele.
cation in the house, and is leading the way
there in industrial pursuits Mr. Grimes
has a career before him which will be fruit.
full Of labor and splendid achievements
The compliment paid the Georgia delegs

placed upon Mr.. Grimes is correct. He

and solid man before he was sent to con.
grcss, and his congressional career has
borne out the opinion his friends enter.

Religious Predictions of a Rat
From the baltimore Sun.


That part of Broadway on the west side, be
tween Pratt street and half the block toward
Cough, has a rat whose actions have gained for
it the title Of the religious rat He is seen at
night and only when there are services either in
Trinity Protestant Episcopal church or
Broadway Baptist church. He seems
to be- i'll very placid humor
when there is service in but one of the churches
named. But when the two congregations are
worshipng at the same time, as it is the case
on Sunday nights he becomes uneasy
and keeps up constant running
between The two One night when some
residents tried to prevent him going into the
yard of the Baptist church, just as the Rev Mr.
Phillips began a sermon on the Evils of
Liquor" the rodent made an attack upon the
party. Several ladies screamed Justify, which
caused the rat to beat a retreat and soon
disappear within the shadows Of Trinity
shortly after he was seen to get into the Bap-
list yard. He remained but short while and
he returned to Trinity, and vice versa. When
there is service in but one church he remains
somewhere about the edifice until it is over,
never changing except to satisfy himself that
there is no service in the other church.

On the heels of the republican conven-
ton comes the statement that Hi
nois is ready to join the army of the
democracy. The farmers, who prop
erty is taxed almost out of existence
under republican measures, have become
tired of supporting the party which pre-
vents this burden from being taken from
them, and the prohibitionists are disguised
with republican tactics. Can this be true 9''
asks the New York Herald. Very likely it
is. Whether the revolt will be extended
enough to give the state to the. democrats
is the important question. That it will be
is not impossible.

In 1884 the republicans we're compelled to
conduct defensive campaign. They would
like TO havo occupied an offensive posi-
tion, but tho personal record of their candl-
date prevented them from doing so.
When it was first announced that Cen
Harrison had boon nominated, republicans
in all parts Of the country said: We have
a candidate with clean record, and we viii
wage an offensive campaign. They are
likely to be disappointed. Thcy have
candidate, it is true, against whose personal
character nothing can be said, but he has
n public record that will require good deal
of explanation. They are trying TO explain
some things now that promise to cause
them trouble, and from the present outlook
they will have to keep on explaining until
the election.
Well informed Californians say that Har-
rison cannot carry that state He may
explain his record on the Chinese question
rs often as he pleases, but he cannot explain
it so as to satisfy the people OF the Pacific
coast.
1t ia certain that those who were once
grcenbackers in his own and other states are
against him because when there was green
back party he ridiculed them numerically.
He always insisted that the difference be-
tween a fool and a greenbacker was not
perceptible If he were right, the less likely
are the greenbackers to forgive him.
The workngmen have an idea that he has
no sympathy with them. 1t is stated that
on the occasion of strike in Indianapolis
ho declared, If he were governor, he would
order out the militia, and end the strike with
the bayonet and bullet This statement
may not be just to him, but there are
laboring men who believe it, and it will
have to he explained away. The republic
cans are not yet ready to take tho offensive
position, and the prospect that they will be
soon is not promising.
