Some discussion arose as to whether
there should not be presentation of the
bond to the council as the council had
never seen it, but when it was shown
that the bond covered the damages and
that anyway as the company had failed
no more than the amount of the bond
could be collected the order passed IL to
2. O'Brion and Merrill voting no.

The Season of Excursions.

This is the height of the excursion
season, and Sunday seems to be favorite
day. On last Sunday the Maine Central
sent sixteen car loads of people to the
White Mountains. There were about a
thousand in all in the excursion. Two
hundred of these came from Boston by
way of the Boston boat. Excursions to
the White Mountains by the boat and
the Maine Central are becoming very
popular in Boston. The same day the
Maine Central took eighteen carloads of
people from Bangor and stations to the
east, to Bar Harbor.

An Amusing Charge.

The leading Republican journal in Ohio
has the following paragraph In It's review
of MIR. HARRIsoS's letter of acceptance:
ain his treatment OF the oliver question the
President Is an intelligent bmetalliss. as OPP
nosed 20 tho gold monometallism OF Cleveland
ana the platform OF the Democratic party and
,ns silver recommendation Of the silver States.
The Presidents views on the silver subject are
broad ana staiesmanllke, and should commend
themselves 70 the whole people"
The President Is on intelligent BIZ
metallist," and Mr.. CLEVELAND is a gold
monometallist 81 II Mr.. HARRISON and the
Republican party are not gold monometal-
lists then there are none In the United
States. The New York bankers claim that
what he said on the subject in his letter Of
acceptance will cause the delegates to the
Dresden conference from other countries
20 nav more attention TO the utterances Of
the UHited States representatives in the
body than they would otherwise pay to
them. Why Z? Because these Europeans
know o. well Is we do that the Republican
party stands with Mr.. HABRrsos on this
subject and expect him 20 veto any and
every bill that Congress might pass TO
remonetize silver fully.
We cannot claim much for the Demo-
cratic party's silver plank In the Chicago
platform, but we can claim more for II
than for the platform OF the party repre-
scented by our Cincinnati contemporary,
tho ommeyciai-Adsmsisr. The Republican
party IL the gold party. The Democratic
party Is the silver party.

The Next House.

The National House of Representatives
consists of $50 members. The Tribune Al
uonac good authority says that the pres
ent House consists of 2S5 Democrats. IS
Republicans. and 8 Farmers Alliance men.
Is the Alliance members will probably at
tach themselves TO whichever party shows
most strength in the presidential election,
we NAV leave them out Of the count and
saw that the Republicans will have to elect
1g7 members of the new House in order to
secure majority therein. That is to say,
they will have to gain 79 new members OF
continue in the minority. As the future
of the Republican party depends upon its
success in the congressional and presl-
DENTAL elections of this fall, IT may be set
down as certain that that party will resort
"a desperate measures to insure sue
cess. BE 1t our duty to consign it to the
tomb and thus relieve the country from
the rule of the most dangerous faction
that ever existed in this counsry-danger-
Gus 10 free institutions and TO the Consti-
tuition framed to preserve those 'nstltu-
tons.
Let us say Just here that the Democrats
will be certain TO elect Mr. CLEVELAND
President il the election goes into the
House of Representatives. But let us not
permit the election to 60 into the House.
The people are ready and willing to elect
GnoyKa CLEVELAND If they can only be
aroused to the danger that menaces them.
Let us arouse them by all the allowable
methods OF campaigning.

SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 10. 1892,
HIN and Cleveland.

We never doubted that Senator HILL
would support Mr.. CLEVELAND for Presi-
dent. His strong common-sense would
lead him to do so. even If he we're not
moved by regard for principle to
join hand in hand with his brother Demo-
Gratis in the effort to save the country
from the evils of Republican sectionalism
snd wrong-doing. II am Democrat "is a
remark which has taken such hold upon
the people that they will not tolerate the
least manifestation Of indifference in the
presidential election now so near at hand.
MIR. PLArT. OF New York, the foremost OF
the distinguished Republican leaders OF
that State, has very recently used
the same words with one ohangeD and
declared emphatIcally: Il am Republi-
can" This phrase has therefore acquired
@ meaning which its distinguished author
did not attach to II when he first used 1t.
Ii was natural that such q result should
follow; for Mr.. HILL had done more tor
the cause of Democracy-more for the
saving Of the southern people from the
evils of Republioanism-mor to make New
York State permanently Democratic
more 70 unite the Democratic factions IN
the State, and keep them united-than any
other one man. He had, In fact, done
such good service to the Democratic party
that he was recognized everywhere and
by everybody except Augwumps and
straight Republicans as model mana
model for all good Democrats.
So when we said few weeks ago that
MIR. HILL would IN due time come out as
he ought to do in behalf OF the election OF
CLEyKLAND, We did not by any means IN
tend to intimate that there would have 10
be any understanding" between these
two distinguished New Workers. Mr.. HILL
would not refuse 10 support CLEVELAND
even if the latter were to hold out against
the advances of the friends OF the former
For nobody knows better than the long
headed HILL that this IS time in the
history of the Democratic party when 1t
could not possibly permit its honored
leaders to sulk IN their tents, or the rank
and file TO 20 into the battle unofficered.
Therefore we have attached and still
attach less importance to the recent
"loye-feast IN New York than do some
other people. We do not know what was
the nature Of the treaty of peace" that
was signed ct the love-feast. We under
stand. however. that the main object OF
the meeting whether at the table or else
where) was accomplished. CLEVELAND
men and HILL men are to join hands to
elect CLEVELAND to be the next President
OF the United States. Perhaps little light
is thrown upon the New York love
feast" By the words. Senator Hull and
his representatives have been placated."
That is TO say, we guess, that Tammany
Hall has been "placated and that Mr..
HILL acted wisely and IN the highest in
terests of the Democratic party when he
decided that it was his duty to keep out
of the political battlefield until Tam
many had been induced to enter 1t.
