PLAIN TALK.

From the Democrat.
1t is worthy of note as coincidence
that Sitting Bull and Ben Butler re-
tired from public life on the same day
the former in skirmish and the
latter in lecture.
Apparently the republicans will
have settledthe financial question and
averted free coinage long before Grow
er Cleveland discovers what his views
are on the latter matter.
The lime argument may knock out
an opponent on the stump, but 1t is
likely to help him at the polls. Par
nelPs bad cause is being doomed by
the sort of opposition it has aroused.
The Florida conven ton, which
showed that the Alliance had become
q mere tender to the Democratic
party, opened the eyes of the Repub-
lican farmers and deprived the AL
lance, in the Northern States, OF its
sole reason for being.
Calvin S. Brice, although not a
resident of Ohio, is good enough tor
the Ohio Democrats who elected him,
and as good as they would have
chosen, In any event. The Republic
cans will raise no distractions against
his admission to the Senate.
Chauncey NJ. Depew will never be
President. The Changers have set
tied that matter. But outside of a
small adverse Democratic majority
which he can overcome II any Re-
publican can, there is nothing IN the
way Of his becoming Governor.
