session Of all the facts respecting the Fisheries
Treaty. Why should the Democratic Senator's
and Senator Hale defeat the purposes of the Adj
ministration in this respect? Let the doors of the
Senate be opened without delay. This will be the
most effective means Of preventing postpOnement
of the treaty until December by bare majority
vote.
The Southampton election will lead to removal
of anxiety the part of Unionist leaders respect
ing Mr. Gladstones inexhaustible resources of
vitality and health.
MIR. Peterss aggressive speech against the Mills
bill has appeared in due course in The Con-
gressonal Record" and will delight his Western
constituents who admire strong blows given from
the shoulder. His main theme was the Democratic
compromise with the policy denounced by them
as organized robbery" and pillage," and his il
Illustrations were as forcible as his sarcasms were
keen. As an argument addressed to Western farm
ers his speech was strong and convincing. He
proved that nearly everything which the farmer
uses and consumes is cheaper in the United States
than in Liverpool, London, Paris, Berlin or So.
Petersburg, and that the general effect of Protec-
ton has been TO enlarge and develop the home
market where the best customers Of the agri-
cultural classes are to be found. This is the kind
OF rcAQlnS winch lne WeSucfH hepuDHCaH Leagues
should supply to communities where it will do the
most good.
"The Rochester Herald devotes column to
showing Why the Democrats Of this State ought
to make George Raines their candidate for Gov
ernor next fall. Do you second the nomination,
Mr.. Hill?
President Cleveland specially emphasized his con-
domination Of Official Interference In party nominations
by Official order as we'll as by repeated unofficial
utterances on the subect.-(Tho Philadelphia Times.
Oh yes President Cleveland has written i'm
pressively against official interference but all
such expressions of his are buncombe pure and
simple They are like the paragraph which he
inserted in his letter Of acceptance four years ago
solemnly protesting against the eligibility Of a
President for reelection. Grover Cleveland has
written himself down as man who pays no atten-
ton to what Grover Cleveland says
The Congressional Record" continues to furnish
argument and information for both parties in tariff
speeches which have been held back for revision
and careful proof-reading. Among the many ex-
cellent speeches made on the Republican side Mr.
McKinlcy's has deserved perhaps the highest
praise as the most trenchant and weighty attack
upon the Mills bill 1t contained the clearest
demonstration of the dishonesty of the pretext for
larlH by lne DcmOcIfJlc leaders,
that the duties on raw material and not those Oh
manufactures, will be lowered by the bill 1t
exposed the sectional character of the measure
and the hollowness of the pretencc that the farm
ing classes will be benefited by its provisions 1t
condemned the restoration Of the ad valorem sys-
TEN of assessment feature that would increase
the difficulties experienced in the collection of
revenues and do incalculabe injury to honest i'm
porters and merchants by encouraging fraudulent
invoices and facilitating undervaluations AS q
defence Of Protection, it was alike comprehensive
precise and eloquent and left no essential phase
Of the present tariff controversy unconsdered
This is one of the speeches which should be put
in she hands Of voters during the Presidential
canvass.
o'Donovan Rosa, who ardent supporter OF
Mr. Blaine, has declared himself this year for Cleve-
land We congratulate Mr.. Blaine iWateroury
American.
ODonpvan Rosa, Ike the Mugwump organs
remains faithful TO Mr.. Cleveland He did not
support Mr.. Blaine in 1884, but was one Of the
ardent champions of Mr.. Cleveland; and we sup
pose that he carried his followers with him-dyna-
mite and all.
