There is nothing wrong with

With Cleveland and Thurman the
verdict of the people in November next
will not be doubtful. "Not-to-be-
beaten" would be the universal judg-
ment on that ticket from the molnsnt it
was made.-BoStom Globe.
-Mr. Cleveland will be the next
President of the United States, the
trundle-bed, small-caliberd, smooth
bored, peanut politicians who now con-
troll the Republican party to the con-
trary notwithstanding.-Bu6alo Times.
There is woman's Democratic

Where's the differences? Pud-
dlers were. paid $3.50 per ton under
what was called the ''free trade" tariff
of 1916. They are now paid $3.50 per
ton under the blessed protective tariff
of 60 per cent. Yes, there is differ
ence. Under the tariff Of 1916 the cost
of living to the puddler was at least u
third less than it is now.-Ha,risburg
Patriot.
Mr.. Thurman has always been
in touch with the people. He has al
ways been Democrat, socially, per-
sonally, humanity, as well MS political
ly. Always of the people, with the
people and for the people, Allen G.
Thurman at this time is receiving, in
the hearty respect paid to his name
and character by his conntrymen at
large, IL sterling evidence that charac-
ter tells.-N. Y. Graphic.
Mr.. Thurman in the years of
darkness vivified Democracy. To-day
in the richness of years and in his de-
votion he glorities the party whose
able champion he has been. When it
was in the mire of defeat he exalted it
with the words of hope and record of
consistency. No party ever had an
ADLER and II truer champion when it
needed one most. The Democracy of
Thurman is that of Jefferson and of
jackson and OF the people.-1roy

Thus, against the dangers OF II
surplus revenue the Republicans of the
House would place the decentralization
of sweeping and unjust expenditures;
against the complaints of excessive and
needless taxation they would place the
claims of pension agents and tho pros
pect of liberal rewards for spoils hunt
ers. There is strong wall and but
ting of heads locked up in this plan
which it would seem the blindest might
see. The times are out of joint ut the

CHICAGO, June 19.--A strong breeze that
made tho big strips Of bunting in which tho ex-
terror Of the auditorium was cnveloped flap
like the sails OF West Indian merchantmen in
October gales swept over Lake Michigan land
wards Tuesday morning. Very grateful 10
proved to the thousands that from an early
hour gathered In front of tho great building
and gazed longingly upon tho doors through
whose portals they had no open sesame.
Directly beneath the chair were pictures Of
Generals Logan and Grant, while from the first
balcony portraits of nil tho Republican Presi-
dents looked down upon the delegates. The
NcN York, Michigan and Massachusetts dele-
CATIONS, which had been honored with the front
seats, were among the first to arrive. In tho
next five minutes the western and northwest
ern delegates came In rapidly, but the southern
men were still slow. The virginians were con.
siderably behind, and many opera glasses were
vainly leveled in quest Of the diminutive Malone
and the doughty Wise, who head the rival dele
cations.
Rev. Frank Gunsalus was introduced to lead
the convention in prayer. He thanked the
Lord for the intelligence and courage under
which tho banners OF the Republican pnrty had
gone forth to conquests and prayed that the
convention might he dominated by good pur.
poses, for the glory OF God and the goUd of the
people. Blessings were asked for the leaders
OF the party and for those occupying high
places in the administration.
Then the COLL for the convention was read In q
ringing tone by Secretary Fcsscnden, and the
references to the tariff, to the protection OF
American labor, to the accumulation Of the
surplus, the demand for free, honest ballot, q
fair count and the question Of the admission OF
the Territories were loudly cheered, especially
that relating to tariff. The reading concluded

AN OUTRAGEOUS LIBEL.
The Infamous Calumny Circulated by IN
Anonymous Swlndler.

anonymous SW1nuIers
Among the enliv ening contributions
to the political literature OF the day is
circular sent in large quantities to
the St. Louis convention [professing to
be written by a Democrat representing
President Cleveland as a debauchee
and wife-beater. This precious
brochure has been heralded by word
OF mouth for several weeks, the story
being peddled out from Washington
that Mr.. Cleveland has been "on a
spree" several times during the past
winter, and on one or more occasions
he has struck his wife; that she and
her mother had been driven out of the
White House by his cruelty, and that,
although Mrs. Cleveland had been in
duced for political reasons to return
and put herself within reach Of her
husbands 8 fist, Mrs. Folsom had fled to
Europe with the declared determine
tion never to return. New York society
had been shocked with this narrative,
which has been repeated with many
grave particulars on the authority of a
United States Senator, not named, the
Senator, so the story goes, having been
present at one of the wffc-beatings,
and having interfered in a gentlemanly
way to rescue the prosecuted lady from
further ill-treatment. OF course, so
monstrous tale as this could not be
contradicted by either Mr.. or Mrs
Cleveland. But the Herald has inter-
viewed Mrs. Folsom on the subject at
Paris, with the following result:
| "All that is beneath notice." said Mrs. Fol.
som, with quiet dignity, land is matter best
| treated with contemptuous silence. Who was
| so foolish US to start q story SO easily dis.
| proved?
| 81 suppose they counted the fact that
| neither the President nor his wife would deign
to utter word in reply. What woman, hap
| PLY married, will consider 1t necessary to say:
| MY husband is kind to meY What husband,
| devoted to his wife, will say: Il am not unkind
| to herr But they were so foolish as to bring
| my name in. That was not clever, was it? But
| let us talk of something else 1t is all foolish
| campaign story without shadow of founda.
| ton. only wish all American girls were half
| rs happy in their welded lives as is my good
| daughter in the love and care Of her worthy
| husband"
The fabricator of this infamous cal
umny undoubtedly reckoned that, al
though the story would eventually be
denied and disproved by perfectly sat
isfactory evidence, yet the public would
say that where there is SO much smoke
there must be some fire, and that even
if the President did not knock his wife
down he must have abused her in some
way, and ii he did not get beastly
| drunk he must have been under the in
fluence of liquor. We trust that steps
will be taken to trace the authorship of
this early campaign lie in order that
the United States Senator who started
it, if there be such a monster, may
reap the harvest of loathing of every
decent man and woman in the world

ELISHA AND THURMAN.
A Bible Lesson for Republican Scoffel
and Scribblers.

A Bible Lesson for Republican Scoffers
and Scribblers.
Thurman is full of years. A grand
and honorable career is drawing to its
close. Called again to the service of
the people in whose behalf he has
labored nearly all his life, and for
whom he may die in the harness, OPP
pom ents less discreet than Jealous
mock and deride him because his
years are ripe and the hand of time is
upon him.
Let them have a care!
The mantle of Elijah, the terrible,
fell upon Elisha, son of Shaphat of
Abel-Meholah. Taken from the plow,
Elisha filled the prophetic Office for
nearly sixty years. When Elijah went
up into Heaven in the fiery chariot
drawn by horses of fire Elisha passed
on to the work that still lay before him
in Israel. He had healed the waters of
Jericho.
And he went up thence to Bethel, and, rs he
was going up by the way, little boys came out
Of the city and Knocked him, saying: go up,
thou bald head; go up, thou bald head"
them in the name OF the Lord; and there came
forth two bears out OF the forest, and tore of
them two-and-forty boys.
And from thence he went to Mount Carmel,
and from thence he returned to Samaria.
Now, Thurman's head is not bald,
nor is it known that Elisha's poll was
nude. After the manner of the modern
monk he may have worn his hair close.
cropped, but to the lads of Bethel the
prophet of the Lord was not venerable,
and curses lighting on them they were
torn by wild beasts. Let the modern
scorners of Thurman's whitening hairs,
