in his speech in Staunton last Monda,
Maj. Daniel favors the,unlimited coinag
of fraudulent dollar Cleveland is fo
a sound dollar worth 100 cents Ma.
Daniel is for the spoils system, pure an
simple and in it's full meaning. Cleve
land is in theory, and at heart, for Civ
Service Reform, and gave evidence, il
instances, that he was for it in practice
1t was more consistent and appropriate

seems, is not far removed when civilized
man will be toothless. Bald and tooth
less he will be a pretty sight to see The
present man ought to be appreciated by
the ladies. He is more amenable to dis

names that were not borne to die," is
very singular.
