Press, in behalf of Blaine, “has no past.’ There are thousands of voters in Mr. Blaine’s own party whose chief objection to Mr. Blaine as a candidate is that he has too much past. It is a past defaced with great and indelible stains. --———— The Republicans have Blaine as the magnetic candidate, The west boasts of a magnetic lady.

It comes very the old ticket Cleveland has been the same kind of Governor Tilden was, and provoked the same Hendricks stands for himself, and after the 4th of March next will hold the place in the Government to which the people elected him in 1878, a Some of the Republicans cry against Cleveland, that he once hung a man. As sheriff, in the discharge of his duty, he did hang p man who was guilty, But now Rsporrer would like to ask with youjrads who twice swal- lowed Hartranft for governor after hang- ing an innocent woman, Mrs, Surratt? We wait for a reply. —_— The pictures of public men, published by some of our exchanges, are horrid af- fairs. That put out as a portrait of Gov.

Many of them will support it, while the Democrats and Independent Republicans are enthusiastic. The Jerald flies Cleve- laud and Hendricks at its masthead in big type. ER ————— So Edward 1. Conden, the fraudulent messenger boy who collected money from several guests in the Fifth Avenue Hotel on fraudulent telegrams, was brought before Recorder Smith. The charge was that of stealing telegraph blanks valued at one cent, He was found guilty and sent to the penitentiary for one year, If Conden had been a star route thief or a member of the firm of Grant & Ward, he wauld have gone scott free and could have stood high in the Blaine ranks, Bisons. cots tps p—— During Mr. Blaine’s brief administra- tion of the state Department in the Gar field cabinet he proved himself totally unfit to cope with the diplomacy of other nations, He came very near involving the United States in a war with Chili about the private business of a person who was pot a citizen of the United States, He did his best to provoke hos- tilities with the friendly neighbor repub- lic of Mexico by undertaking to meddle in the settlemeni of the boundary line between that country and Guatema'a, He left the relations of the United States with a number of foreign states in so complicated a condition that hig succes: gor found it very delicate and difficalt task to disentapgle them, It istherefore not a matter of wonder that the business men of the country regard him asan im+ proper and unsafe candidate. a Sr It is whispered about that Arthur has said to more than one friend emphati- cally that he does not care a continental whether the Republican ticket is elected or not, and these whispers are traced to sources that are esteemed to be good au- thority. t is said, furthermore, that the Cabi- net are entirely in sympathy with Ar- thar, with the exception of Chandler and possibly Gresham. Folger has been heard to say plainly that as the Blaine men in New York staid at home when he was a candidate against Cleveland, therefore he will not lift his hand for Blaine against Cleveland. --———— — - WORKMEN GETTING THEIR EYES OPENED. We are told that if the tariff is taken off we will be forced to compete with and brought to the level of the pauper labor of Earope. That's too thin, We know while they are slyly whispering pauper labor in our ears, they are at the same time negotiating for the importa tion of these hordes as fast as they can procure them. That's the kind of pro. tection these magnanimous politicians give us, It would be a cure for sore.eyes to see anything but a Huagarian or an Italian working about the breakers of the middle division coal fields to-day. Just where protection is needed is where they fail to give it. Cheaper necessaries of life and a restriction of this much. talked~of foreign labor is what the work. ingmenwanj, '® * 8 2 14 time for the laboring classes of Pennsyivania to open their eyes and look this question of the tariff square in the face. We have been deceived long enough. We have had the tariff for the last 20 years, and has it improved our condition? We had the tariff in 1876 when the labor riots occurred, and we have tariff in 1884 with prospects just as gloomy. Let us have change. Under a tariff for revenne on- ly times cannot be much worse. Let us relegate to the rear the Randalls, the Kelieys, the Storms, and other political traitors, who vote to make the people pay taxes on the very necessaries of life, and thereby add an annual surplus of $100,000 into the already overflowing treasury of the United States, stmt AN ILLINOIS BOLT. Belleville, Ill, July 17.—A meeting of German] Republicans, was held last night and a society formed for political purposes during the present campaign. The object of the society is to work for Cleveland aod Hendricks and against Blaine and Logan. Sixty-two Republi- cans joined the organization last night, and it is expected that the number will be increased to 300 at the next meeting. It is the {otention to organize branches of the society all over the county and have almost the entire German Republis can vote of St. Clare county cast for Cleveland and Hendricks, After the election the societies will break up and the members return to the Republican party and remain there provided the party gives them respectable candidates to vote for, a THE FACTS ABOUT CLEVELAND'S YETOES. {Philadelphia Times,] The grounds upon which it was sought to create prejudice against Gov, Cleve. land are his vetoes of the 5-cent fare hill, the machanics’ lien bill and the bill reg- ulating the hours of labor of drivers and conductors of horse cars, The bill fixing the fare on theslevated railways at five cents abrogated a right vested in the corporation by a previous Legislature. In that act the regulation of fares was distinctly surrendered by the State until the net earnings should reach a given sum, In spite of this agreement in the contract the Legislature of 1883 passed a bill making a uniform rate of tive cents. The Goyernor vetoed it on the ground that the Legislature could not abrogate a vested right. There was not the slightest doubt that the courts of the state would have taken the same view, That the proposed redactions were on- ly of the slightest interest to working- men is shown by the fact that the rate had long been five cents from 5.30 to 8,30 a. m. and from 4.30 to 7.30 p, m. The re- duction of fares at other hours in the day was a manifest advantage to bankers, brokers, business men and amusement seekers, but not of the smallest interést to laboring men and mechanics, who al- ready had the privileges the vetoed bill conferred. Opposition to the veto was short-lived and a feeling of satisfaction followed that one man had nn found who had the piuek and the intelligence to op such futile legislation ¢Yeh' at the risk of incurring popular disapprov- al, : ; The Governor also interposed his veto to the mechanics’ lien bill, The original intention of this bill was to give mechan- ics power to secure their wages by means of liens. Bat it was so amended that its purpose was either obscure or lost, It gave parties four months after perform. ance of work or furnishing of material to file a lien, a period rediculously prolong. ed. It also allowed the same costs as in foreclosures, which in the case of gmall bills would have been go eparmdds as to eat them up Shtively, it worst of all it repedled existing mechanics’ lien laws, which were far more favorable to the working pacpls than the new law. It was found to be a scheme to make increased lawyers’ bills and to diminish the protec tion afforded the mechanic. The Gov- ernor very properly accepted the lesser evil and ve the defective hill, The bill making twelve hous a day's work for conductors and drivers on street ears did not in any way prohibit the making of a contract requiring any num ber of Boar work and, if it had, the Gov- ernor very aptly objected that it was an interference with the rights of employ- ers. If ~as plain that if the car drivers and conductors worked fewer hours th would receive less pay, and the neither did or could prevent that. The Governor concluded his objections hy saying: “I cannot think this bill is in the interest of the workingmen.” One charge remains against Governor Cleveland's vetoes, The last Legislature made a small appropriation for a charita- ble institution known as the Weschester Catholic Protectory. The Governor struck it out and the charge has been made that he was hostile to the Catholic Church as such. Mr. Henry L. Hoguet, president of the Pragectory, says on this question : We never doubted the sincerity of the motive which induced Governor Cleve. land to withhold his signature to the ap- propriation to the Protectory; we thought then and think now that he was not ac- tuated by any feeling of bigotry or hostil- ity to Catholics or the Catholic institu tion. On the contrary, Gov, Cleveland is liberal in the extreme, and we are of the firm belief that he was led to with- holding his approval of the appropria- tion solely by a sense of public duty as he viewed it. Upon these facts are based all the charges made against Gov, Clevelend by which it is sought to raise objections to him among the laboring and religious elements. - GROVER CLEVELAND. A Man in whose Person the Actual Is- sues are Defined, From Harper's Weekly.) The nomination of Governor Cleveland defines sharply the actual issue of the presidential election of this year. He is a man whose absolute official integrity has never been questioned, who has no lahorious and doubtful explanmions to undertake, and who is universally known as the governor of New York elected by an unprecedented majority which was not partisan, and represented both the votes and the consent of an enormous body of republicans, and who as the chief executive of the state has steadily withstood the blemishments and the threats of the worst elements of his par. ty, and bas justly earned the reputation of a corageous, independent and efficient friend and promoter of admiostrative ree form. His name has become that of the especial representative among our pub- lic men of the integrity, purity and econ- omy of administration which are the ob- jects of the most intelligent and patriotic citizens. The bitter and furious hostili- ty of Tammany hall and of General But- ler to Governor Cleveland as his passport to the confidence of good men and the general conviction that Tammany will do all that it can to defeat him will be an additional incentive to the voters who cannot support Mr, Blaine, and who are unwilling not to vote at gli, 10 secure the election of a candidate whom tbe politi: cal [ig and the party traders bate and unitedly oppose, Bo firm and “clean” and independent in his high office has Gov. Oleveland shown himself to be that he is denounced a8 pot being a democrat by his democrat. ic opponents. This denunciation springs from the fact that he has not hesitated to prefer the public welfare to the mere in- terest of his party. Last autumn when the democratic “district attorney of Queens county was charged with mis. conduct, the governor heard the accasa- tion and the Why and decided that it was his duty to remove the officer. He was asked by his party friends to defer the removal until after the election, as otherwise the party would lose the dis- trict by the opposition of the attorney's friends. The governor understood his daty, and removed the officer some days before the election, and the party did lose the district. This kind of cou and devotion to public duty in the teeth of the most virulent opposition of traders of his own'party Is uousual in a public man, and it shows precisely the executive quality which is demanded at a time when every form of speculation and fraud presses upon the public treasury under the specious plea of party advan. tage. The argument that in an election it is not a man but a party that is supported, and that the democratic party is oh to be trusted than the republican is futile at a time when the republican party has nominated a candidate whom a great body of the most conscientious republis cans cannot support, and the democratic party bas nominated a candidate whom a great body of the most venal democrats practically bolt. Distrust of the demo- cratic party springs from the conduct of the very democrats who madly oppose Governor Cleveland because they know they cannot use him. The mere party Aan is vain also, becanse no able man will be whipped in ta vole for a candidate whom lieves to he per- sonaily disqualified the presidency on the ground that a party ought to be sus- tained. No honorable republican would sustain his party for such a reason, and the honest republicans who propose to vote for Mr. Blaine will do 80 because they do not believe, as the protesting re- publicans do believe, that he made his official action subserve a personal advaao- tage. Nothing is more hopeless than an attempt to pursuade such republicans to sustain their party by voting fa un worthy candidate. Shoyl ‘ey is to reward such a pandidate by conferring upon his tho highest offioial honor in the wold they could not reasonably ex. peot the nomination of a worthier candi- date at the next election, and they could not consistently oppose the election of any candidate whom their party might select.
