Will BE the Best.

Every voter in New England is intently
interested in the coming national cam
paigD, and he wishes TO get the best
possible report of the great conventions
which are so soon to be held in St
Louis and Chicago. The Boston Daily
journal will afford him the means of
obtaining all the latest and most anthem
tic news of these great gatherings. Spec
ial telegraph wires will be run directly
from the convention hall to the journal
office, and thus direct communication
will be afforded. In addition to the
ordinary news service, received in the
usual course of transmission, the Jour
nal will have full staff of special cor
respondents and artists, who will unite
in giving journal readers all the special
information which New Englanders
would wish to obtain, including the
latest direct from the New England
State delegation. One feature which
will be of special Importance to journal
readers will be the presence of Coolidge,
the Journals brilliant Washington cor
respondent, who will attend both ma
tional conventions, and whose intimate
knowledge of all great national topics,
and whose personal acquaintance with
the leaders of political movements of
both parties will enable the Boston
Journal to have a number of special
features to be found in no other New
England paper.

On Monday last we noticed delivery
team, driven by full grown man who
ought to have known better, come out of
anarrow driveway between two stores
and across the sidewalk at a brisk trot
with loose rein. Had a woman, child or
even man been passing on foot he or she
must have been run over and possibly
have been killed. Persons on foot cannot
see a team coming ourEpf driveway
until it is right upon them and any team
should not be driven faster than a walk
when crossing a sidewalk under any con-
sideration. The sidewalks are for the ac-
commodation and use of foot passengers,
they have the right of way on them aud
any team GRO ssing one should be driven
with care. Not only should the team be
driven slowly but the driver should have
hls reins up taut and be on the ebert
ready to stop his team in an instant.

A veteran Somerset Democrat says
that his party has gone "boots and
saddle" for free silver and that he be-
ileyes the Republican party will make
straddle on the silver question. There
is little question about the former propo-
sltion but of the latter their is room for

believe Republicans will make a finan-
cla straddle until we are obliged to.
