cradle existence is scarce worth men
tion. was hung in the penitentiary at
1;l5 O'Clock Friday morning.
THE Cleveland Plain Dealer puts it
thus: 1.-THE. Republican platform
might be boiled down into single
resolution That we build Chinese
wall around this country"
THERE is nothing new or dangerous
orin the least incllniHg to free trade
in the Democratic bill to judiciously
reduce by an average of per cent. q
tariff which will still remain one OF
40 per cent.-[New York Star.
HUNDREDS and hundreds of pension
claims were vetoed or what is the same
thing, rejected under Republican Ad-
ministration, but that was Republican
"all lite ee'"
Hon. SAMUEL J. RANDALL, whose
serious indisposition, caused by hem
orrhage of the bowels, ,occasioned grave
apprehensions as to his recovery, Is
reported as recovering, although still
not free from danger. 1t is thought
that he will be unable to engage il
the duties of his Office during the pres
ent session of Congress, in case of hi
recovery.
THE consideration of the tariff bill
it ia Thought will be finished this weeE
and a vote will undoubtedly be had OIL
the Mills bill the coming week. 1T
passage in the House is conceded by
the Republicans. The Senate is relied
upon by the extremists to reject it,ant
the mercury in the protection" ther
mometer will take a corresponding
rise.
SAID the late Republican Senate
Wilson, in q speech delivered in thu
u. g. Senate in 1857: The expert
ence of England, France and Belgium
demonstrates the wisdom of that pol
icy which makes the raw material du

sa1 al M
etta was opened ON Monday. 1t wa
worthily commemorated, and the day
was given TO religious observances
Governor Foraker presided at the op
ening exercises in Centennial Hall
and in an appropriate address intro
duced Bishop Gilmour, of Cleveland
whose address was devoted to Reli
gion and Civil Government" During
the centennial observance, addresse
will be made by Senators Hoar ant
Daniels, Hon. Thomas Ewing, ant
many other distinguished orators
THERE are 4Ol votes in the Electora
College, rendering 2Oi necessary t.
elect. Of these Cleveland and Thur
man will undoubtedly receive l53 from
the South, SO from New York, Is from
Indiana, 8 from New Jersey, and
from Connecticut, or 2l9 in all, to sa,
nothing of from California and thos
from other States that are just as like
~ to figure in the Democratic as in thu
Republican column.
THE present tariff rate is 47.lO PEE
cent. of the value of importations. /
is proposed by the Mills bill to reduce
the rate to 40 per cent. And although
the rate will then be higher than un
der any tariff that has ever been en-
acted in this country, except the pres
emit war tariff, it is called -" free trade
by our noble Republican opponents
Hence it must follow that unless A
per cent. tariff is, in truth, free trade
our noble Republican friends have
been driven to deliberate falsehood.-
