And l happen to know that more than one nan went to that Colyen llon from here -abouts who has on past occasions handled crooked pol itlcal m 'ney.

 There are grave differences of opinion here as to the effect that the work of the Cincinnati convention will have upon the campaign next year, bIt all agree that II dep, uds en i,rrly upon the action vi the great Alliance convention which IS to be held on the 23nd of next February If that body endorses the work Of the convention jrst closed. then will the ,hird party nave assumed mammoth proportions; If not it will not be q factor m the fight.
 A man never gains anything by trying to make small oi the people who do not thsbk exactly as he does; and one would naturally suppose tnat A man ~ho had i,een m congress. in jnurnallsn and Tn PensylvtnIa pol,t ,cs as long ss Col. ioln Bayne, oi Pl;,sogrs. has. would have lon. ago lca,ned this les on; but he hasn't lie vLs here thl, week and m an Tn terview he sad of the coming cam ps,gn The country will have req sons for teel'ng tratI6ed if the up In.slns ticse,s are headed. r+spec uve.y. by Harrison and Cleveland, beCdu,e no matter which was elected the v,ctor woald stand betw, en the people of the Uaited States and that peculiar and unreasonable brand oi iu, l,shness which is labeled ''ire, co,nsge of silver" Neither Hsrrlson nor Cleveland would permit a tree coinage blil to becon.s a law If by any means In their power they could prevent 1t.

It is the one-third who op- pose tt who would be gratified to see the two parties agaln led by Cleve. land aud Harrison.
 A De~spaper man with more i'm agination than good judgment star. ted the silly rsmor that Mrt Harrison Senator Qaay when that gentleman sas here last week.

Harrison may 'a be in love with Quay, the boss, sho control, the Pennsylvania del .gation to the republican national but he will never .hlnk oi Quay.
 Mir. Harrison and all the members ,f the cabinet, excepting Blaine and Noble, who are away, seem to be as pussy as beavers, but 1t is probable hat they are only catching up the outline work that accumulated while he president was away.
