No wonder David Burr Hill is casting
around for compromise candidate.
There are one hundred and twenty thou
sand signatures in favor of the May con-
vention.-N. Y. Recorder
Just about the number Of the NEWS
free trip coupons. Well done!
The United States Of America was
about the only great country that wit
messed the dawn of May day, yesterday,
without feelings of apprehension. Hail
Columbia happy land l-Boston Herald.
What! Happy in spite of the tariff
The proposition to send messenger boys
to the National convention instead of
" instructed delegates " has economy as
we'll as sagacity and practicability in it,,
Brooklyn Eagle.
1t is true that there is much in favor
of leaving delegates uninstructed. Then
they are really delegates and not mes
sengers.
There has been a number of girls en-
ployed in the Office days and they receive
q smaller sum for their services than the
during the night.-Newport Herald.
Yes, 16 cents is "a smaller sum" than
40 cents thousand; quite a little
smaller.
There Is some hope for. Boston. The
railroad time between her aud New York
is to be cut down.-New York Recorder.
It's the complacent metropolitan idea
that everybody wants to get to New
York as quickly as possible. Perhaps
the reason Bostonians clamor for five
hour trains is that they want to get
away from New York quickly, when
occasionally compelled to breathe its
Tammany-tainted air, and wade the
mud of its unswept streets.
The free coinage Of silver presents the
question whether the silver miner shall
be allowed TO carry sixty-eight cents
worth of silver TO the government mint
and have impressed upon silver disc
the government stamp, and then be per-
mitted to take 1t away and pass it off
upon his employees as having the value of
one hundred cents.-Newport Observer.
those of other men. Sixty-eight cents
for dollars worth of work. Too thin!
Matthew Vassar, founder of Vassar
College, was born 100 years ago, Satur-
day. The manufacturers of chewing gum,
however, failed to celebrate the occa-
sion.-Boston News.
Why should they? Vassar girls don't
chew gum.
A law under which elections in New
York for twenty years have been not only
fair and honest, but unquestioned, has
been changed, in response TO no public de-
mand in manner to give grounds for a
charge of fraudulent intention and to
make fraud more possible. The result will
be to cloud the Democratic
majority in this city and in Brooklyn in
advance. The law. the elections and the
majorities were all right before. Gov.
Flower should have let well enough alone
by vetoing the bill.-N. Y. World.
This is good Democratic opinion of
the law which gives Tammany Hall two
ont of every three election inspectors in
New York city. IL is simply an iniquity
for which there is no excuse.
There was man in New York known
as the Mugwump Blavatsky. He died on
Feb -. 1892, and yet he will project his
astral soul into the convention to be held
at Syracuse in May.-New York Sun.
The Mugwump Blavatsky isn't dead.
IL.
Ahriman from Elmira knows
it.
The Providence - -organ) has inn
proved it's size, but not its presswork.
Those new" presses act like the old ones
that the IS evening competitor says
they are. Why can't these newspaper
men tell the truth about business How
much does il count them in dollars and
cents to say that they have what they
have not There may be temporary
gain from the hustling work Of n circula-
tion liar, but when it comes to lies about |
everything i'm the business the good
public begin TO take tumble"

Valley Cleaner.
Now this is little too bad. The old |
presses must be good presses when they |
get over their home-sicknesses and |
fairly go to running. II they had not |
been most excellent presses in their day |
and generation they could not have done |
the Boston Herald the service they nm
did do. The Boston Herald |
would not have had press that |
was not good press, and the fact |
that the Herald press went West after |
the Herald got through with it is also |
to the press credit undoubtedly. West |
ern newspaper Offices are lively hustling
places and poor press would find no |
favor i'm them. The ex-organs presses |
are all right, little past their prime |
maybe, but of fine stock aud still sound |
in wind and limb.
