A CONSIDERABLE portion of the demo- cratic press seem to consider MT. Cleve- land out of the presidential race, now that his own state seems to have declared against him, and the cessation of boom ing for him, except by the mugwump press, seems to strengthen the impression that he is not in it. The impression may be a mistaken one. MT. Cleveland is not really weakened in strength as 8 candi- date by MT. Hills adroit management
 A very probable reason for silence among those who prefer him is that the sugges- ton of some new man as 8 compromise has started the buzzing of the presidential bee in many new bonnets. Thus in Massa- chusetts the Cleveland men are fascinated by the suggestion of Gov. RusselPs name, and other states have their favorite sons, as Boies of Iowa, Patterson of Pennsyl- vania, Whitney of New York, and others who attract the support of the same class that antagonizes Hill and favors Cleve- land. With most of this element Cleve- land is still first choice, but if it isn't to be Cleveland it may be as we'll to have the porridge dishes right side up, and 1t is the adjustment of these that is now filling minds that otherwise would be planning for Cleveland And all the time a'class that does more thinking than shouting is convinced that Cleveland is yet in it, and later this class will be heard from.

THE recent sale of the Meriden and Cromwell railroad to the N. Y. and N. E.
 R. R. Co. has excited considerable com ment the past week, much of 1t because 1t was understood that the Consolidated road had closed bargain for the same,
 and was expecting to close the transac- ton at once. The M. and c. road was first built chiefly by Meriden people to gain competing transportation line to tide water, and render them independent of the Consolidated road, and ran from that city to Cromwell on the Connecticut river. It paid it's builders in procuring from the Consolidated road expressions on freight rates, if in no other way It was later extended to Waterbury. It is doubtless most to the liking of Meri- den people to have it sold to the N. Y. and N. E. road, as in the other case it would put them back into their former con- dition of dependence upon g single trans portation company, Additional local in- terest is given to the transaction by the rumor that that the N. Y. and N. E.. road contemplate extending the Cromwell line to Andover. From Waterbury to An dover this new line will be shorter than over the main line, and by using it for freighting and through business the pres- ent necessity of double tracking consid- erable part of the main l1ne will be done away with. The news may revive inter= est in the proposed railway line between Stafford Springs and Andoyer. <.

The founder and owner of the Pullman sleeping car system, MT. George Pullman , declares there is no sense or reason in tip ping sleeping car porters. He himself is dead against 1t. They are we'll paid for their services on his cars, he says, and there is no reason why passengers should tax themselves extra like that. Besides it tends to demoralize the service and make persons who should be men creat- ures alternately cringing and insolent.
 The Washington Post quotes with ap- proval Mir. Pullman's declaration, but adds the following for his serious considera- <tion: ..This sounds very nice, MT. Pull man, but what is to become of the pas sengeEMho makes so bold as to attempt to aefpayour suggestions :!

A writer in some paper truly says, re- garding all the McAllister twaddle echoed in the country newspapers, that it would not be possible for any sensible, clear headed Americans, born under repub- lie, with every page in it's history a pro- test against social caste, to persuade themselves that they .sare any better, cleaner, or more acceptable than the thousands living about them.

HOund-Other Fights.
New ORLEANS, September 0.-Sixty-6ve
hundred people Witnessed the worlds
lightweight championship battle between
MoAuliffe and Myer IL was a one sided
fight, with McAulihe the winner.
Myer and McAuliGe weighed in at s,45.
the former at l87M pounds, McAuliiie at
1861 Captain Barrett weighed the gloves
and found them according to law full five
ounces. Sixty-lYe hundred people were
said TO be present, and even that number
failed to fill the mammoth arena. McAu-
life was FIRST to enter the ring, which he
did at $40. Myer came a moment later.
Both men received great oVatiOns. At 1926
everything was In readiness for the battle
TO begin. The opponents shook hands and
sailed in.
The opening of the fifteenth round was
characterized by several awkward attempts
on the part Of both men, and the audience
cheered when Myer was knocked down
with heavy right. McAulihe knocked
him down again as he got up. This time
he lay helpless on the ropes until he was
counted out. 10 was a heavy right-hand
blow that did the trick and McAulihe was
borne triumphantly on his seconds shOul-
ders to bis corner.
The battle was for S2OCJ-a $1,000 purse
and a bet Of $1,000 a side-and the light
weight championship Of the world.
The WilliamsburRer was made the recip-
lent Of part Of the applause notwith-
standing the fact New Orleans Is a Myer
city. The Williamsburger' seconds opened
champaign in the corner, while Myer was
offered glass Of wine by the conquerer,
which he accepted, and a hearty hand
shake wound up the greatest battle r,
corded IN the lightweight class since the
days Of Billy Edwards, Barney Aaron and
others.

night, and Sullivan and Corbett will meet
