"AyENT TO THE EREWHILF."

Il IS really campaign of education" Mr.
Cleveland was quite right about 1t. Only lam
many Hall has turned loose some of the funniest
educators that ever started into the bush win

oucstionaby doing a great work in tho way OF
educating the people of Virginia. For therc
arc no doubt. a great many Virginians who

unutterable way II was al uncommonly proper
thing for Tammany Hall to do TO send GRADY
down there to give the people of Virginia that
sort Of information. And yet there are great
many persons who know Grady, and have seen
him when he was ut his very frothleSt' VINO
simply scott at the idea Of sending GRADY 10
Virginia as an educator
Then. again, Tammany Hall, still bent-bent
,orv much As " Maine went for Governor Kent
on an educational campaign has sent Maurice
Uollaban into Connecticut. Now Maurice has
also Timber chin. But the idea OF sending him
into Connecticut as an educator must have ex-
cited 4 smile on the cOuntenancc oil even eA-
Governor "Tomn VALERA countenance SO

muscle 10 indicate that it was the best Joke OF
the campaign Maurice has been educating the
Connecticut voters quite sup to the Queen
tastev In Norwich the other night he was
introduced as "a tiger from the Tammany lair
in Ncw-Y York city, The local newspaper de-
scribes him as "becoming gradually warmed
I'D TO his subject" after which he - brought
forward hard and unquestionablc facts" One
Of which was this: " He pointed TO the period
between 1885 and 1889, when the country
under the Democratic rule was in It's halcyon
DAVIS. and the prosperity, alluencc and finance
If the country attracted the admiration of the
whole world.n Which must have been some
thing of a revelation to the Norwich Demo
Gratis. But the most striking feature OF the
,ddress was this: "Anent to the erewhlle
Rcpublican platform of 1883 were the promises
70 watch over and protect the interests of the
neoplc and conduct the Government in an eco
nomical and satisfactory way" which, he said,
4, l:l ,ot do Wo1l meyer mind whether
they did or not "Anent To the crewhlle" is
the thing. It must have struck those Norwich
Democrats full in the stomach to have heard
this tiger from the Tammany lair start of
, compaign OF education with lament to the
erewhc."
But it shows that Iammany really means
business. Mr. Cleveland has sounded the key
note Grady in Virginia and Ilollahaa in Con
ncctcut arc making it truly educational cam
naipn. Doubtless groups of Democrats will
gather in tho Norwich grocery stores nightly
from now till election to debate the question
what precisely Iolahan meant by "anent to
tbe crewhileD And it will do them good
They need Just that kind of soul-stirring elo-
m,cncc in Connecticut. It wouldn't do at all
among Maurice's constituents here III New
York. Of course. Here they would, no doubt
interrupt him with "Oh. Maurice come off,
or Sec. here, you're giving us gulf, or wipe
off YOUR chin and talk United States or some
other pertinent ejaculation. But the campaign
of education is not so much needed here. Where
they need it is in Virginia and Connecticut
And rs n starter, "anent to the erewhile' is
a regular corlxer.
