with different harnesses than what
they took down.
One OF Raycraft's horses got in
Circe's stable, one OF Circe's got in
Benton's and Benton's horses were

The men who harnessed them in

IT, says the New York EUeRing Post, there be
an omen of victory in the much-sought-
after act of presenting a solid front to the
enemy" the Democrats viii have the benefit
OF it this year. Not only are they unani-
mously in favor of their candidate, but they
have also gone on the record with equal
unanimity in favor of the principles which
ne represents. Not single State conven-
ton has thus far expressed dissent from
his tariff message, and nearly every one
has emphatically approved it, thus making
it the leading issue in the campaign. The
opening utterancc of the Ohio Democratic
platform gives an linking of the amount of
latent enthusiasm that is likely to be found
In the Presidents personality this year:
1--WE endorse, without qualification, the
Administration of President Cleveland. His
honesty, integrity, fidelity to principle and
manly courage have endeared him to the
American people, and the interests of the
country demand his denomination and
election When that was read the
convention broke into a perfect tumult of
cheers. Similar scenes have been witnessed
in every other State convention which has
been held. They bear witness, as does the
unbroken line of Cleveland delegates, to
the fact that the Democratic party has
found leader and n principle, and has
something definite to fight for 1t will be
wise for the Republicans to take these facts
into account. a great National party which
enters Presidential campaign in this form
and with this spirit is not a foe to be trified

their votes, placing them not where they
