Our fasting friend Succi, is reported as saying
that he was more afraid OF returning 10 eating
than ANYTHING else. That's where Succi fails to
resemble the Democratic party. After hsung from
1860 until 1884 the Democracy returned 70 the
public crib afraid only that there wouldn't be
nroyender enough therein to satisfy Ms colossal
appetite

The one who sees clear Is Cleveland
Il is little early as yet for the formal opening
of Cleveland's next campaign for the PRESIDENCY,
but it must be admitted that this ilrst poem, II
premature. is certainly engaging. We judge from
the lyric that some dastardy persons are endeavor
ing to get the delegates away from cleveland
by insinuating that man who wears unostenta-
tious garments instead Of being "a clean man
is merely q goat These persons deserve no quar-
ter If the goat issue is raised In tne Dem"ratlc
National Convention of 1892 the chances are
that Cleveland will be nominated on tne nrst
ballot.
Every city has it's day. II is evident that
Springfield, Mass. was the capital OF the American
continent yesterday.
Indiana Mayors seem to be having hard luck
about this time. Only a few days have passed
since the news came, borne on the wings OF the
telegraph from Brazil, Ind, that the Common
Council of that city had got together and o'dered
the deposition of their Mayor on the ground OF
inebriety Now information is at hand u the
effect that the Democratic Mayor OF Marion, Ind.'
who ia short in his accounts has resigned and left
tho CITY. Marion. fortunately. is not out OF
pocket on his account, for his bondsmen have made
up the shortage. 1t is perhaps sufficient COM
mentary on this painful incident to remark thai IL
Marion is wise its next Mayor will have another
name than Steele.

The monster petition in behalf Of the Siberian
exiles. which is to be sent to the Gar from this
country. is commendabc for this reason, II no
other, that it puts this public on record as syn-

little Father" Still, every such movement as
this American petition is to be encouraged, IN
order that the voice of the world may as widely
and as loudly as possible bear witness against al
unexamped infamy. And then, too, 1t is quiz
safe. An American will not, as Russian would
be knouted for signing such petition.
