New England frOsts have killed
some of the vegetable crops, but so
far as beard from the beans are
safe. This fills the Boston heart
with JOY.
The President put $4,000 into
his campaign fund in New York
and sent 5000 to the yellow fever
districts of the South. But the
South is solid you know.

New York procession the other day.

The white wood pulp Cleveland
hats are all sold in this market up
to the size OF 81. The larger sizes
are still on hand, and will be offered
soon at reduced prices. They are
not blocked to fit Democratic
heads.
Was it the familiar strains of
"God Save the Queen" which in-
spired Senator Blackburn to make
a free trade speech at Madison
Square Garden ? The close cOunec-
ton of the two seems more than a
coincidence.
Keep this before the people The

Mr.. Cleveland was three months
getting out his letter of acceptance.
General Harrison followed in
very few days. Read the apology
for free trade made by the one and

Since the publication of he Pres.

largely increasing the Republican
majority, and now comes Maine
with a "dOuble". SO the Presi-

letter by declaring that "we are on

The President started out with
two ideas. or rather, We should
say, notions or policies. One was
a civil service reform which would
prevent employees Of the govern
ment from contributing TO or par
ia conventions, &c.-
The other was a very emphatic
avOwal in favor of the zone term
principle. But recently the Presi-
dent sent bis own check for $4,000
TO the National Democratic COM
mittee to help on his election for a
second term. He thus violated
both his own rules.
a story is beng printed to the e.
feet that President Cleveland is
seeking the advice of Congressman
IN the preparation OF his
letter of acceptance. The statement
will have to be sworn to before the
public will accept it. There is no
doubt that many Democrats would
ike 70 have the impression created
that Sir. Cleveland's tariff views
are the kind that Mr.. Randall
holds. but they are not, and every.
body knows they are not. Any let
ter of acceptance prepared for Mr..
cleveland under Mr.. Randall's di-
-ectlop would throw the Mills-Wat-
terson end of the Democracy into a
panic. y
