Grover, Grover,
Four years more of Grover.
Out they go,
In we go,
Then we'll be in clover.
The song snade decided hit, and in
little while it was being everywhere
shouted. The words were written out
and sent to printer with instructions
to have thousands of copies ready for
distribution at the night session. 1t SO
happened that General Bragg, of Wis
consin, was on the rostru1n making
nomlnatlon, but neavy rain was Iall-
ing, the roof was leaking, the lightning
played along the electric wires and
heavy peals of thunder shook the frail
structure known as the wigwam. The
general stood comparatively helpless, for
no one could be heard, when suddenly
Sam made motion to the leader of the
band, whom he had previously ssseen."
The music started and the chorus OF
those who were in the secret started the
song. On the second round it is said
that fully 10000 voices joined in and
the convention was on its feet and every
body in state of wild enthusiasm. After
adjournment the rain was still falling,
but as the wet and tired crowd fiocked
to shelter it was still to the music of
"Grover, Grover"
One of the campaign songs when Hor-
ace Greeley was running for president
went like this:
Come all We old line Democrats,
Now take your physic freely,
Raise high your glasses while you drink
To honest Farmer Greeley.
Still another that may be sung during
the present year is this:
Come all We politicians,
Knownothings, rhetoricians,
Filling up the nations chairs,
And put your heads together,
For it's mighty foggy weather
Climbing up the White House stairs.
From the foregoing specimens it is
easy to see that the gray matter of a
mans brain need not be burned out in
an endeavor to make the SO called politi-
cal campaign songs. String together
few catchy rhymes, give them the swing
of some popular air and the public will
do the rest.
1t is well to add, however, that the
LuOSb surfing stTHlHS DTouSu1 1Ato uoe
are not those born of the moment, and
some of the melodies now popular have
come down almost from colonial days.
The Revolutionary fathers may have
sung homely rhymes, but they were to
the purpose. Crude Britons Boast No
Longer" did good work in it's time,
while "Yankee Doodle" is still played
with an emphasis that has lost none of
its force by reason of age. After the
war of 1912 the ''Star Spangled Banner
and "Hail Columbia" secured places
among the worlds great historic songs.

MONEY WELL SPENT.
{ New York Tribune.1

It is satisfaction to know that the
House did not haggle over the Senate
bill increasing the pay of members Of
the Life-Saving Service, but passed it
promptly by vote of lat to SO. These
faithful, courageous and much-exposed
men are entitled to this recognition from
the Government. The additional sum
involved is not large, and the invest
ment will prove a wise one.

When the committee appointed by
the Minneapolis convention to notify
President Harrison of his denomination,
assembled in the White House yester-
day that young idol of Republicanism,
William Mckinley, Jr., stood out from
the horseshoe line and apprised the
President in well chosen words of his
high honor. There could be no doubt
of the truth of every weighted word
when the great Ohioan said TO the great
Indianian
To be nominated for n second term
upon the merits of his administration is
the highest distinction which can come To
an American President The difficult aud
embarrassing questions which confronted
your Administration have been met with
an ability, with n fidelity TO duty and
with lofty patriotism which I'LL the
American hearts with loving pride Your
domestic policy has been wise, broad and

just, and truly American.
This is precisely what our friends the
enemy have been saying about Presi-
dent Harrison. His administration has
been more than creditable. IL has been
strong, courageous, patriotic, sensible,
resourceful. 1t will bear examination.
II was, perhaps, hardly to be expected
that the President, in the few informal
words of his reply, should strike the
keynote of the campaign. But he did,

CLEVELAND AND GRAY.

There is nothing much more uncer-
tain than the action of a national con-
vention, but the present prospect is that
New York and Indiana on the Demo.
cratic ticket will face Indiana and New
York on the Republican. The hope of
Cleveland's opponents has lain in the
fostering of a multiplicity of small
booms. Unluckily for them. the
weather is too hot for young booms
to thrive. Heat is notoriously hard on
infants; and so it happens that Palmer,
who is not in his own proper person an
infant by any means, has wilted; Gray
has wilted German has wilted; Boies has
not wilted, but his boom takes its food
with less avidity; Morrison's boom has
died Of cholera infantum, as an expert
enced politician could have seen from
the beginning it was destined to do.
The Cleveland men are claiming over
600 votes for the ex-president on the
first, and in that event the only ballot.
Perhaps they have them, more probably
they are too sanguine. Cleveland's
nomination is not by any means as
sured, though from hour to hour it be-
comes more probable. The result will
depend on combinations, for which
there is yet space for crop to grow. A
considerable proportion of Cleveland's
support is half hearted, and only time
will separate the weakened from the
last ditch men.
If Whitney's generalship is success
full, Indiana in return for her solid sup
port of Cleveland expects the second
place on the ticket for Gray. Such
move would be polite, but it is not at
all certain that it would suit the man
chiefly interested. Gray may possibly
suppose that he has future, or not i'm
possibly he may not be warm in his
affection for the stuffed one who showed
him off the ticket four years ago.
No prudent man will go beyond this
in prophecy; if the Democrats put up
Cleveland they choose their strongest
man without question, but, New York
considered, Cleveland cannot be elec-
ted.

The time required by the City Coun-
Gil to consider the question of the troll
ley system to Pawtucket is one of the
most significant thoughts suggested by
the Councils action last evening. When
the question of the trolley system was
originally raised, the opposition of few
people shouting on the street corners"
seemed very potent to some of our city
fathers. Nearly year was required
by them before they decided to allow
the Union Railroad Company the right
to construct its electric system ard even
then the privileges granted were in a
much abridged form. The "deadly
trolley" has now been operating but lit
tie over six months. It's success is ap-
parent to all. Experience has shown
that the opposition to it was unfounded
and that electricity as motive force,
at present, is necessity in every pro-
gressive city.
In sharp contrast with the time re-
quired for the original petition is the
time required for the one just passed.
Two months have not yet elapsed, and
the Common Council has approved the
extension of the system from Market
square to the Pawtucket line. This is
as it should be. The electric system is
not thing of the future. tits present
necessity and the council does well to
meet the needs of the citizens so oppor-
tunely.

THE DEMoCRATIC PLATFORM.

In an upper room apart from the
clamor Of the boomers the most agile of
the Democratic athletes at Chicago have
been engaged for day or two past in
vigorous leg practice of the sort known
as straddling.
The platform of the convention has
not at this writing been made public,
but such provisions of it as have been
vouchsafed to newspaper correspond
ents make it evident that it will strad-
die the tariff, straddle the silver ques-
tion, and devote the rest of its energies
to vicious and virulent denunciation
of Republican efforts in behalf Of honest
elections.
The so-called force bill is godsend to
the Democracy, because it supplies one
issue, and the only one, upon
which they can agree. The Dem
ocratic party is, in the large, a
free trade party, but the Cor
NANTES and the remnants of the old
Randall following have influence enough,
reinforced by the prudence which hesi-
tates to offend too radically the great
manufacturing interests of the country,
to stave off too explicit declarations.
The Democratic party is, if State
platforms for the last two years mean
anything, in the large free silver
party; but it has its conservative
element, it has its divisions East and
West, it has Cleveland to think of, and
also the forty-six votes from the Silver
States, which laid themselves, the other
day, at the feet of German. 1t will
shuttle and evade, and do its best to dis
turb the quiet and prosperity of the
country.
The Democracy has no policy and
offers no basis on which it can ask the
confidence of business men, when its
return to power would mean four years
of squabbling uncertainty over the tariff,
four years of danger to every industry
from the silver heresy, and four years Of
determined opposition to any attempt
to remedy gross violations Of the elec-
ton laws. The one bond that holds
its warning factions together is the
common fear that Republican success
may mean such non-partisan safeguards
to the sanctity of te.s ballot box as shall
ensure free election and fair count,
and thus destroy root and branch the
party which, ,presuming upon the regular
ity and certainty of frauds in at least
twelve States, has impudently claimed
to be in a majority"

HORIZONTAL BILL.

The attempt of the anti Cleveland
elements at Chicago to .'get together"
for Horizontal Bill Morrison, yesterday,
was about as absurd as any movement
in politics on record.
Mr.. Morrison rose in Congress once
and proposed his memorable horizontal
reduction bill, which proposed to knock
off duties to the tune of 10 per cent. all
round. Then Mr.. Morrison suddenly
subsidized, and few months after, when
the public inquired after the reason of
his sitting down, it was discovered that
Uncle Jehu Baker had pulled his coat
tails.
Uncle Jehu was mt the time of his
election TO Congress absolutely un-
known, and to this day nothing is
known of him outside of his own dis
trict except that he was rather eccen-
trio old gentleman with a discriminate
ing belief i'm the protective tariff.
Anybody could have beaten Morrison
on that issue i'm that district in that
year.
Uncle Jehu, having fulfilled his mis-
sion in life, subsided into honored OBJ
security, whence Morrison presently
emerged as a railroad commissioner, APP

with the tariff on freights. Since then

has been retained and enlarged by the es-
tablishment of great manufacturing in
dustries: while new markets abroad OF
large and increasing value, long obsti-
nately closed to us, have been opened on
favored terms to our meats aud bread
stuffs by the removal of unjust discrim-
mating restrictions and by numerous re-
ciprocal trade agreements under section
3 OF the Mckinley bill. These acts of ad-
ministration aud legislation can now for
tunately be judged by their fruits. In
1890 IL was a conflict of predictions; now
our adversaries must face free trade sta
tistics and prices current.
Not predictions but prices current.
