The two most conspicuous Dem.
ocrats in the United States met at
dinner last Saturday night 10 New
York City-Ex. President Cleveland
and Senator.Elee Hill. This was
the first time they had met socially
for many years. Ex.President Cleve.
land was early a5 the feast, but
Governor Hill was detained in
reviewing a military organization
and did not reach the club until
after 9o'ciock. Senator Brown gave
notice that it was not intended any
speeches should be made, and none
were expected. But" said a gen.
tleman. present in describing the
banquet, IT is impossible to get a
party of Americans together without
something being said" At the con.
clusion Of the dinner Governor Hill,
who was seated at one end of the
long table, got up and walked to
the other end, where Mr.. Cleveland
was seated. He stopped in front Of
Mr.. Cleveland's chair and held ont
his hand. The ex.president at once
got out of his seat and grasped the
extended hand, and thegovernor and
eS-gov. of New York indulgedi in a
cordial and friendly Handwriting J
They remained together conyersing
for ten or fifteen minutes 10 the most
friendly and intimate manner. In
their speechs and greetings the
utmost sincerity was apparent in the
manner Of each. Nothing was strain
ed and there was nothing to indicate
that anything but the most friendly
relations had existed between these
two leading a1w Workers. The
impression at the dinner was that
the supposed estrangement was more
the result Of the relations between
the political followers OF the two
leaders than between Cleveland aud
Hill personally"

The medal of honor conferred by
the Government upon the man who
rendered conspicuous gallantry dur
ing the rebellion has just been sent
to James G. Grindlay, of Utica, N
Y, now employed in the State
Controllers office at Albany, N. Y
General Grindlay enlisted as pri
vate soldier at the beginning of the
war, and was commissioned a Briga-
der General with full rank before
the close. He first saw service in
the One Hundred and Forty-sixth
New York, raised in Oneida County
and known as the Fifth Oneida.
Gen. Grindlay was promoted through
all the grades to the command of
his regiment and his brigade. He
was brevetted Lieutenant Colonel
for distinguished services at Spott-
sylvania, brevetted as Colonel u. S.
Volunteers for gallantry at North
Anna, Va, and Brigadier General
for gallant and meritorious services
throughout the war. He was never
absent from his command during
active service. At the battle of
Hatcher's Run, Va, he commanded
his brigade, composed of the Tenth,
Twelfth, Fourteenth and Seventeenth
Regular Infantry, the Fifth New
York (Duryea) Zouaves, and the
One Hundred and Fortieth and One
Hundred and Forty-sixth New York
Volunteers. At the battle Of Five
Forks his command captured the
works in its immediate front, over
one thousand prisoners, and four
battle flags, of which two were cap
tured by his own regiment. It was
for the conspicuous services rem
dered during this battle that the
Government bestowed upon Gen.
Grindlay the medal of honor. Few
men who went into the war as pri-
Yates have established a better
record.

Too Much PaternaIism.

Sensible, thinking men, whatever
their opinion as to existing evils
and the need of reforming them, are
not likely to be carried away by the
platform adopted by the peoples
party" or the programme outlined
by that organization.
Take for instance the sub treasury
and loan Office schemes. The peo-
pies party actually proposes that
the government shall establish sub
treasures throughout the country
and lend to the people at not more
than two per cent. per annum. upon
non perishable products. To
make no other point, think of the
great army of officials to be created
under such a system as this-and
yet public extravaganza are among
the things complained of by this so
called peoples party. The oppor-
tunity for Encouragement and
fraud would be multiplied thous-
and times by this sub-treasury
scheme, to say nothing of its i'm
practibility as a means of relief to
the farmer. If the farmer could
get loans at two per cent, why not
others-the millionaires and Wall
Street sharks who are especial OBJ
jects of the peoples party's wrath?
And then there is the demand for
government control and supervision

of railroads and other means of
transportation and communication
How is the government to acquire
such ownership? By purchase !?
If so, it must be at the terms Of
fered by the present owners. Does
any sensible person favor such a
proceeding If the government is
to run on that principle, where is
the line to be drawn ? If it can
confscate railroads, telegraphs,
steamboats, and mines, why could it
not also seize cattle, farms and
grain These two ideas embrace
the paternal = notions Of govern
ment advocated by rampant social
lists and dreamy idealists of the
Bellamy pattern, but they are not
likely to make much Roadway with
practical, level headed American
citizens,

Pennsylvania for Blaine.

Pennsylvania is for Blaine. The
Republican state convention, held at
Harrisburg last week, did not form
ally nominate Blaine for the Presi-
dency, as had originally been
planned, but the project was aban,
doned simply because its expediency
was questioned and not because the
Blaine adherents were unable to con-
troll the convention.
During the proceedings of the
convention every reference to Blaine
was greeted with vociferous and
long-continued applause. There
can be no question concerning the
attitude of Pennsylvania Republicans
toward Blaine. The whole situation
is we'll summed up by Chairman Nc
Gee, of the committee on resolu-
tons: 81 think every Pennsylvania
Republican will be for Blaine next
year. l do not think it advisable
for us to declare for Blaine at this
time, simply because, in my judg-
ment, it would do him no good. .
Pennsylvania is for Blaine.
