"A sensible answer 10 this question has

There Is an endless procession OF great

1t is thus that our enterprisNg South
ern contemporary seeks, by sweet
phrases. TO obliterate the odor Of those
over-ripe eggs that were cast at Weaver
and Lease.
The suggestion will force itself upon a
great many persons, and particularly
upon Democratic aspirants for the Pre-
sidency, that there could be no more ap-
propria late spot than Hog Island for Mr..
Cleveland to settle on as a permanent
place OF resIdence.-New York CONNER
cal Advertiser.
This is little too tough. We sub
init that the legitimate case against
Cleveland and his party is damaged by
such small-siZed attempts TO besmirch
him as this. 1t is neither witty, humor-
Gus, severe nor damaging to him.
Superannuated eggs do the work as
well down In Georgia as the kuklux and
shotgun did. 1t is not much III the way
OF " reform" but it is an improvement
Chicago Inter Ocean.
The Inter-Ocedn is located some hun
dreds OF miles from the orbit of those
eggs. 1t would not otherwise care to
discuss them.
There comes time in every national
campaign when the unsound, specked and
worm-eaten fruit begins to drop from the
party tree.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.
Yes, and when the party tree gets too
rotten TO hold sound fruit, which drops
also, vide George Tickner Curtis aud
host of other sensible yuen who have
deserted the Democracy and adopted
Republican principles.
1t will be well for those who do not de-
sire to be deceived by the political aspect
TO watch for symptoms OF the game of
BLUM in politics. cs.-Boston Herald.
The Herald readers will do well to
note the Herdids advice while reading
the Herdlds rainbow predictions of sue
cess for the calamity candidate.
As long as those two protoplasmic
politicians the mayors of Newport and
Pawtucket, continue to be pr minent in
the Democratic party, SO long will there
be much JOY in the Republican camp
Journal.
We don't quite know what a proto-
plasmic politician is, but the Journal is
dead right. Honey and Carroll are use-
full as frightful examples.
The political heelers OF the opposit ion
are loading their guns for Col. Honey. |
They want to defeat him, and are willing |
to sacrifice the national ticket in New |
port to accomplish that end.-Newport |
Herald.
The Heralfs assertion that the Re.
publicans are willing to sacrifice the |
national ticket to beat Honey is ridicu- |
lous. 1t is desirable to beat Honey. but |
it is also desirable to roll up big Har-
rison aud Reid vote, and both will be |
done.
The newspapers continue to be filled |
with politics, but it is the Columbian |
celebration in New York which every |
body is Interested in to-day. Journal.
What was the use of Columbus dis |
covery of America if we are not able TO |
take care OF the country now, and take |
a righteous interest in its affairs? The |
Journal is either crazy or playing pos
sum. Guess which.

1t would not. This silly item has
been floating all over the country. The

Good! Good! Let this harmony

owen is the official head of the Demo-
ratio party in this State, and you can't
hear Peace flap her downy wings for the
