Ex-senator Platt, of NewYOrk
is delightful humorist on occa-
sions. Regarding Judge Ores
ham, as Mr.. Cleveland's secreta-
ry of state, he say "Mr. Cleve-
lands plans are clear now. He
means to run for the Republican
nomination in 1896. All us Re
publicans are expecting the Cab
met lightning to strike us next. ;"
And the charm of this is accen-
tuated by the following state
ments in a letter which Judge
Gresham wrote October 81, 1892 !:
at is not true that l voted for
Mr.. Cleveland in 1885,"
81 voted the Republican ticket
at every presidential election
since the party was organized,
except in 1864, when l was not
able to go to the polls"
81 did tell you at Springfield
that after mature reflection had
determined to vote for Mr.. Cleve-
land this fall, because | agree, in
the main, with his views on the
tariff"
81 think, with you, that Re-
publican can vote for Mr.. Cleve-
land without joining the Demo
cratic party"
Some of the remarks of the
regular Democrats ON the selec-
ton are as clever as that of Mr..
Platt. Congressman Barnes
Compton remarks: Well, it is to
be presumed that Judge Gresham
will at least now become a Dem
ocrat, and the New York Sun
calculates that one hundred and
eighty days ago Judge Ores
ham was a Republican with a
record clear of any mugwumpry
in any form" There's no doubt
about it. Judge Gresham is not
a persona grata among the regu-
lars. american.

The Naval Parade Next Spring.

About the time of the opening of the
Worlds fair next spring the finest naval
review ever witnessed in America will
be given in New York bay and Hampton
Roads. The most interesting point about
it will be that all the vessels Of our navy,
new and old, that can be spared from
active duty will take part. Along with
the splendid ships Of the white squad
ron will come, like grizzled war veterans
beside the handsome young national
guard, the old Kearsarge and Ports
mouth.
The outgoing Republican secretary Of
the navy is anxious that the naval yes
sells planned and built entirely during
the present administration shall be fin
ished as far as possible before he takes
leave Of Office. 1t was expected that
No. 8, the 5,5O0-ton protected cruiser
now building at San Francisco, would
be finished by the spring Of 1893. but
delays in getting material made this out
of the question. No. will not be done
till next fall. She is $40 feet long at the
water line and was modelled after the
fine Spanish cruiser Reina Regenta.
She is a three decker, and will carry
1900 tons coal supply and travel at a
sustained speed Of twenty miles an hour.
it Is expected.
1t is hoped that the New York and In
diana will be finished in time to assist in
the splendid naval parade between
Hampton Roads and New York. The
New York is the largest cruiser yet
lsunched for the new navy. The Indi-
ana is the largest battleship. It Is not
certain, however, that the Indiana will
be near enough completion to enable her
to steam along with the parade. The
other vessels will probably be the fol-
lowing:
