Uurrab for the Star-Eyed Goddess OF Reform
-- -----
Twenty-Five days since Hill was nominated, and
no letter from the White House yet. II Mr..
Cleveland won't write one, the Democratic
National Committee can always fall back On
their private forger
"The Evening POST DEM having been de-
tectod once more in malicious peryersloD Oh
facts-this time in connection with Mr.. Blaines
history. and his speech at the Polo Grounds
attcrnpts 70 sneak out Of the dilemma by one
Of its old contemplate evaslons. Now Larry
why don't you give yourself the Injury OF q
frank acknowledgment and apology why
don't you confess either that you didn't know
what you were talking about, or that you sup
posed your leaders would take your wcrd for IL 7
You said that Mr. Blaine detailed in his speech
v at ne had suppressed in his history Inc truth
is that speech and book absolutely confirm each
other. You ought 10 be ashamed of yourself and
possibly you are II so, why don't you, Just
for the sake of variety, admit The factP And
while you about it, Larry, why don't you
apply your burning zeal for Reform 10 the dis
covery of the rascal who has been forging Con-
gresham Cox's name on the wrappers OF Demo-
cratic campaign documents? Mr. Cox has ex-
pressed his anxiety to detect the forgcr, and your
friend Postmaster Pearson ought to be devoting
every spare moment to the search. Why don't
you help him? Isn't it time to stop prating
about the franks of Republican Senator's stamped
instead Of written, public documents, in ac-
cordance with general usage in both parties If
not expressly permitted by statute? Are you
trying to divert attention from the Democratic
forger, whom Mr. Cox denounces? Better lool-
out Larry; criminal collision is dangerous basi-
ness for a Reiormer.
"The Times" DEM is working hard to over
come the Republican plurality of %, 900 in Illinois.
Its efforts must fill with delight the soul of Calvin
S. Brice who has hitherto appeared to concentrate
his energies on carrying Texas and Arkansas TAX
ing all the facts into consideration" remarks The
Times complacently, it is not too much to say
that Illinois is doubtful" OF course it is not too
much for you to say. 1t would be too much for a
journal with keen regard for veraci,y.
Blasting is necessary in making excavations in
the upper part of Manhattan Island, but it is an
operation that should be carried on with eXtreme
care. In fact, this work should rightly be done
under the eyes of inspectors appointed by the city
OF course. the contractors are responsible for all
damages done, but there are many ways in which
they can evade the responsi bility to which the
courts would hold them in case suits were brought.
It is announced that Mr.. Thurman may not
i
really too bad. The country is fairly aching for
an explanation from him of his statement, made
in 1872. that there will never be ANY genuine
reform in the Civil Service until you adopt the
one-term principle in reference to the Presidency
Won't Mr.. Thurman tell us what he thinks now of
what he said sixteen years agoP And then, he
ought not to miss the fine opportunity which a
letter of acceptance would give him of explaining
more in detail how the Democratic party freed
the slaves, saved the Union, restored the public
credit, ard promoted the other good causes OF
which Mr.. Thurman said on September II: You
cannot name one good cause In the last hundred
years that has not been fostered by the Demo-
cratic party Come, Judge the country is wait
ing with bated breath for that letter
larger markets larger markets, more product more
product greater employment; greater employment /

Free wool and lower dutles woollens, in |
creased importations; increased impOrtations, less
product and smaller share OF the home mar
Iet, the best in the world; less product, less en-
ployment; less employment, lower wages. This !
is the sum of the whole matter.
Colonel ]. ]. Daniel who died at Jacksonville /
On Tuesday, was the foremost citizen of that |
city, and was greatly beloved and honored all /
over Florida AS president of the Citizens
Auxiliary Association his untring labors on be- ]
lalf of the victims OF the fever doubtless over
taxed his strength, thus rendering him an easy
prey to the dreadful scourge. A leader at the
oar of his State, prominently identified with /
Ill the movements looking to the advancement /
10 every good cause, the loss of this high
minded, philosophical citizen is perhaps the great
st which that unfortunate city has yet sus-
ained
The Albany Argus speaks of " the ringing
words" of Hill. Which ring was it you had
n mind the one not unconnected with aque-
luct, or the one made up of ruu-hol,s?
Some of the Democratic clubs of this State
nave arranged TO take a trip from Buffalo to
lew-York on a canalboat The trip will be
nvened by speeches and the singing Of cam
oaign songs. 1t would be graceful act the part
# the clubs to present the boat TO Ires-
lent Cleveland when they get through with it,
