Young and diffident orators will take
fresh heart when they learn, if they do
not know ii already, that so accom-
plished and self possessed speaker as
George William Curtis suffered greatly
from stage fright on the occasion of
his first lecture, and uegan by saying,
Ladies and gentlemen, the pitomless

changed TO confusion when he perceived
his error. OF course he had meant to

THE TRUE FAITH ExPOUNDED BY
GROVER CLEVELAND.

Never has a great party, intent upon the pro
motion of light and justice, had better incentive
for effort than is now presented tous. Turning
our ey es to the plain people of the land we see
hem burdened as consumers with tariff sys-
t EN- that unjustly and relentlessly demands from
them, in the purchase of the necessaries and
comforts of life, an amount scarcely met by the
wages of hard and steady toll, while the exac-
tions thus wrung from them build up and in
crease the fortunes OF those for whose benefit
the injustice is perpetuated,
We see the farmer listening to delusive story
that fills his mind with advantage, while his
pocket is robbed by the stealthy hand of high
protection Our workingmen are still told the
tale, oft repeated in spite of its demonstrated
falsity, that the existing protective tariff is a
boon to them, and that under its benefcent OPP
Grafton their wages must increase-while as
hey listen scenes are enacted in the very abid-
ing place of high protection, that mock the
hopes of toll and attest the tender mercy the
workingman receives from those made selfish
and sordid by unjust governmental favors.
We oppose earnestly and stubbornly the the
ory upon which our opponents seek to justify
and uphold tariff lsws.-speech accepting Dem
ocratic nomination for President

In such situation as this it might
be proper for Mr.. Cleveland to write a
public letter to Gov. Hill, saying that,
in his earnest judgment, the old charge
is false and groundless, iand asking
him to come forward again and apply
his great powers and influence to pro-
mote the success of Democracy in the
present canvass. Without some such
request, we are sorry to say, it now
seems rather improbable that Gov,
Hill will again expose himself to the
same malicious accusations. New
York Sun.
In that case the Democratic party
must make up its mind to 10 without
the great powers and influence Of Gov.
Hill. The insolent demand that Mr..
Cleveland shall crawl at the feet OF Da
vid Bennett Hill, begging him not to
put a knife into the ribs of the D M
ocratic nominee, goes trifle beyond
the patience Of any self respecting
man. If Mr.. Hill really desired to
make himself proof against malicious

The Solid South.

An esteemed evening Republican
contemporary takes exception to Mr..
Clark Howell's views as to the effect
OF the Third party movement set
forth in his letter which appeared in
yesterdays Herald and also in its Eu-
ropean edition, to which the letter was
cabled
If, asks our contemporary, the Third
party will not hurt the Democrats in
the South, where the farmers have not
been prosperous, why should it hurt
the Republicans in the West, where
agriculture has been booming?
Mr. Howell's explanation of this is
twofold. In the first place, the far
mers of the West as we'll as those of the
South complain loudly of the existing
state of things. But Southern farmers
are beginning to realize what Western
farmers already feel, that it is the Re-
publican and not the Democratic par
ty which is responsible for these griev-
ances.
In the next place, Mr.. Howell main

Southern States means negro domino.

enough to insure a solid South.-New

the people for the benefit OF the few We de-
clare it to be a fundamental principle OF the

USING the Executive Departments
of the government to obtain ReEubli-
can campaign material has been one
of the sp0cialtles of the 6. o. p, ever

gle department of the government in
which large number OF employees OF
the highest are not engaged upon
work which would never have been
considered necessary if the managers
of the Republican campaign had not
ordered that it be done.
SENATOR SHERMAN is an adept in
this sort of thing, and his resolution,
which was adopted during the closing
hours OF the last session of Congress,
calling upon the secretary of the
Treasury for certain information con-
corning banks, State and National
since 1880, was for the twofold pur-
pose of getting the Republican party
the strong support of the National
banks and for obtaining statistics
which might be used as an argument
against the plank in the Democratic
national platform favoring the repeal
of the prohibitory tax on the circulat'
ing notes of State banks. Under this
resolution all of the official machinery
of the United States Treasury has been
put to work for the Republican party

gathering these statistics Comptroller

to be given for such an unusual pro

In addition to the circular sent tt

SMITH, assistant register OF the Treas

visit the National banks in the East

mostly to be used, in order that there
shall be no mistake concerning tn,
precise information wanted. Besides
all that, large force of expert clerks
are at work searching the old records
OF the Internal Revenue Bureau, hop
ing to find something detrimental tt

work of all these officials remains un
