BULLETINS ABOUT BABY.

lJHiGdJV DhttetiliI
When q young mother and her first born, still
tender monthling, left Pittsburg TO visit
friends in the East the former sent bulletins on
postal cards from three OF four stopping places
to the father, who was, or was supposed to be,
in very critical state Of anxiety about the
baby's entire safety and happiness.
Here is a sample bulletin: Baby has been
sleeping 20 minntes-befOre that took a great
fancy to that young man you introduced me to
in the next section, and was rather inclined to
be cross because i wouldn't let my precious pull
his newspaper 70 pieces. He cries whenever
the train stops, but seems TO like the motion Of
the cars-stiH Notwithstanding 2 40 P.

A bachelor friend Of the happy father, 30
whom the latter cOnfded the baby bulletin
idea, smiled one Of those aggravating smiles
the unmarried man keeps constantly in stock,
and said
Twenty years hence old man, that boy Of
yours will send his own bulletins when he goes
a-traveling, and they will be briefer and more
stirring messages than his mothers. Some
thing Of this sort: Dead brOke-send $40

with greater boldness and intensity in his

the irrepressible force Of mental honesty.

This lie nothing short Of insulting. It
plainly intimates that Mr.. GoDK1N is q
crank in the estimation OF his former asso-
ciates who have Joined Tammany Hall In
supporting Mr.. FLOWER for Governor. The
position Of the unfortunate editor OF the
Evening Post lends to the canvass about the
only element Of humor which 1t has pos
sessed since Mr.. FAssETT's antics ceased to
be ludicrous and became disgusting.
But there is for more important aspect
OF the situation than that which concerns
Mr.. GoDK1N and the Evening Post. The re-
markable and sudden change Of attitude
toward Tammany Hall on the part OF the
reformers, tho promoters. and the idolaters
who constitute Mr.. GROVER ChEvEhAND's
political following. shows what lie were
their pretences OF a year ago. Their denun-
Citations OF Tammany were pure humbug.
Their only genuine motive OF political &C.
ton is Clevelandsm in the personal sense.
One year ago it seemed to them that the
most promising policy was to build up
the County Democracy for CLEVELAND by
opposing Tammany Hall and allying them
selves with PLArr and FAssETr. They
learned their mistake on election day. This
year the Indication. as tho doctors say. was
acquiescence and harmony. Any other
course would extinguish MIR. CLEVELAND
ut once, like the half-inch remnant Of
spluttering tallow candle. They saw the
only course left to them and promptly
adopted It. This Is the plain explanation OF
q situation that puzzles nobody besides tho
unfortunate Mr.. GoDKrN.
