THOSE who are pushing Senator Hill
for the presidency tacitly admit that his
availability consists largely in his will
ingness to act perfdiously with Cleve-
land should the latter be nominated. 1t
is generally conceded that Hill can carry
New York for Cleveland should he be
nominated. 1t is equally true there are
doubts of Cleveland's ability to carry the
Empire State against Hills opposition,
and this Is the ground on which Hill is
mainly urged. 1t is not a creditable
basis of support and 1t would be coward
ly in the democracy of the nation to sub
NIT to it. The people by large major
ity desire Cleveland's nomination and
there should be no compromise with
treachery.

A strange story is told by the Ash
land authorities. They say that Gus
tave Rischke, a widower of Butternut,
reports that a few days ago, while
looking for second, he was taken to
a saloon in Ashland and introduced
to a woman, who claimed to be a
widow and proprietor of the saloon.
After spending all his money in the
place he proposed to her and was &C
cepted. A justice of the peace was
sent for and the ceremony performed.
He was then taken across the street
to be introduced to the brides brother
When he returned he found the door
locked. His bride, leaning out of a
second story window, told him to leave
Or suffer the consequences. Rischke
did not argue the question. The next
day he found out that he had gone
through a mock ceremony, and that
his bride was a married woman.
Rischke has sworn out warrant for
the arrest of the parties.

THE Chicago Herald publishes an ex-
tract from letter which purports to
have been written by Mills to friend in
Texas in which he says:
THE blow to me is much less severe than
1t is to the democratic party. The auth
ors of my defeat must be rebuked by the
democratic party or large element that
has been voting with US will abandon us
IN the coming struggle"
1t hardly seems possible that this can
be genuine. There is in it mingled
spirit of selfshness, littleness and ego
tism which is without a parallel among
men and has it's counterpart only in
spoiled and petted children. In view of
the prominence Mills has attained in the
democratic party it is to be hoped he
never penned the pettish words.
