to the support of Cleveland and Thurman.
The Je,ceIer's Weekly trade iournal) reports
the organization of the jewelers. Cleveland
and Thurman club of New York, whose men,
bership includes many of the leading jewelers.
in the city 1t will turn out 2OOOmen in the great
business mems parade shortly to take place in
New York. The vice-president, d. w. Gran
berry, is a cousin of Judge Thurman.
DURING the reign of protection in this coun-
try, wages have been decreasing and million
aires increasing.
The Hon. CHARLES 5. VOORHEES,, son of
our Tall Sycamore, has been unanimously re-
Washington Territory.
IN Dun1irk, " Y, forty-two Irish-Americans
voted for Blaine four years ago. Now all but
three of them belong TO a Cleveland and
Hendricks club. In Buffalo Blaine received
fully 600 Irish-American votes. Harrison, it is
said will not get fifty.
Mr. MYRoN BANGS, a lifelong intimate
friend of Roscoe Conkling, says that Mr.. Conk-
ling said to him in the summer of 1856: 'Mr.
Cleveland is making an excellent president.
He is proving himself an able, honest, fearless
man. He seems to place his idea of duty high
above political advantage He will 90 down
in history as one of our great presidents. His
grasp of national affairs surprises me. Had
not witnessed it, | could not have believed that
any man whose practical knowledge of gov
eminent was gained in brief term as governor
of this state could so readily have mastered
the science Of government"
SPEAKING of Hovey's preposterous charge
against Speaker Carlisle, the Evansville C0tr-
Ter says: ''The Caurier has already shown by
the Congressional Record that Gen. Hovey was
not only permitted to deliver his speech, but
that his time was extended three times-the
last time imdefnitely-on motion of democrats
We now challenge him or any of his friends for
him, to show by the Record single instance
where he ever claimed the attention of the
speaker that he did not receive perfectly re-
spectacle treatment"
THOMAS RICHARDSON, one of the leading
lawyers of Little Falls N. Y, and lifelong re-
publican, is out for Cleveland, because of the
republican attitude on the tariff
In BLAINE's famous report on the cotton

ming up the advantages we possess in this
particular industry, he mentions as chief among
them the fact that our manufactures have free
raw material. .If this is good thing for man.
ufacturers OF cotton goods" says the New
York Star, sit is good thing for all other manu-
facturers, and the republican opposition to the
admission of free raw materials provided for
by the Mills bill is clearly against the best in
terests of American manufacturers"
The official figures Of the Vermont election
show gain Of not quite per cent. in the re-
publican, over II per cent. in the democratic,
and about per cent. in the prohibition vote.
At this rate the democrats would carry New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Indiana,
Michigan and California What comfort there
is in these figures to the supporters of Harrison
is not visible.
THE republicans are circulating the absurd
story through the state that the Hon. Franklin

Thurman and tariff reform. He will be heard
from the stump before the campaign is over.
WHEN the dependent pension bill was vetoed
