The Philadelphia Press, which pro
claimed, en tlie advent of tlie scandal
about Cleveland, that It was entirely tee
decent te print nny such utery or te con
duct a campaign en any such foundation,
has been terribly restless uverBlnce under
Its self-Imposed restraint, and brinks
nway from It te day with n half column
of stuff about the matter, with editerliil
cemmeut thrown In.' It still essays te
hang en te the shadow of Its decency b
declaring that It never has published
the original story and never will. I's
virtue will always1 be strong enough
te rest content with the story's sub
stance nnd any ornamental trimmings
that may subsequently have attached
te It. The Press Is open new for the
dish in nil lis modified, Improved nnd
embellished forms. The Press Is n virtu
ous nnd discreet journal. It regards the
private life of the Democratic candidate
as very Interesting reading. The private
life of Blaine, Is, however, of no interest
it thinks, and It preserves about it a
most profound nud prudent silence.
The Philadelphia 2Yme.i assumes a
virtuous stand, differing from the Press
In that It consistently maintains that
the prlvate llfe of neither candidate is
public property ; or rather, ad it puts it
the stories about both Cleveland and
Blaine are campaign lies, unworthy of
mention ;and ltdeneuncea tlie Democrat"
f 3r their retaliation en the Republicans
with stories of Blalne's youth in return
for the stories of Cleveland's. It reems
te us that the Times takes a somewhat
tee elevated position. If it will kindly
consent te rempmber that men
are human, and will consider that never
yet did the average man turn his ether
cheek te the smlter, as he should de te
obey the law laid down in the Bible and
by the preacher, It will find that while it
must be admitted that defamation
should net be met by defamation, it
always will be while the world lasts,
when the average man is tlie ncter
that the editor, staudlne above tin
average plane and waving back thesi
who would repel charge with counter

if he alms te be n leader of men. He
cannot get theru up te his altitude in n
political campaign. Nothing is surer
thau that ir Cleveland's personal
life and habits are te be uncovered, anil

Buffalo, Is net a popular man, and tha
he could net be elected te the council',

Gov Cleveland's strength and lus

city of Buffalo nnd the state of New

for the odor, but will need no smelling

The Kenards or Literary Laber.
It is a curious fact that men in literar
pursuits) rarely succeed in piling up a
fortune. Ner Is this nlwajsdue te tht

Given salaries the most princely, a rain

condition of the " literary feller " is net
hard te discover. Se long does he fens'
his eyes en the light that was never
yet seen en laud or sen," that the practi

Buggest Itself, he drives It away as an
unpleasant Interruption te Ills duj

from whose pen glisteued with gems of
thought, never had a penny te rub

Impecunleslty. Massinger and Steele

of the brightest minds In all ages have

These men nre unquestionably bright,

Brooklyn last night at a mns;mi'ptmg

opera house, nnd delivered a strong
speech, showing the ground itjeu wlnh
the Independent Republicans would sup
port Cleveland nnd oppose Blaine. TI.e
issue as he made it was distinctly bi
tween official honesty and d!shiu.c3t.
He declared that Blaine's public life was
a record of official power offering itself for
prostitution te make money ; and that
Blaine's wealth acquired by suchprac
tices steed as an insurmountable barrier
te his receiving the votes of these eiti
zens who demanded integrity in their
public servants.
He quote 1 the letters te Fisher, in the
Mulliga i vr e as read by Blaine nnd
admitted by him, and asked hew similar
'e:ters signed " Geerge Washington "
and "Abraham Lincoln " would sound
'e the people's ears. Blaine stele these

The ludopeudont Republicans of Broek
lyu held a mass meeting In the Gran 1
opera heuse Tuesday uight. The place w is
crowded. Tbe platform was oj'.upled by
a number of prominent Independents. The
principal speech of the uveulng was made
by Carl Scaurs.
After leading oevomt of the Mulligan
Utters nnd reviewing Mr. Blalne's roeord
ami the defense made for him in the mat
ter of these transactienc, Mr. Schurz
aid :
If von want te knew what the result of
Mr. Blalne's cleotlen would be, step nnd
observo what the result of his mere nomi
nation alreaily has been. What de you
cee '.' Men high in standing who but yes
lrnl.iv worn nhneked at such things as Mr.
Blaiue has done, who theugtit that the
prople would and ought te brand thorn
with thelr emphatic 'disapproval, new
meekly apolegiriug for the same
things and dismissing them as lit lit lit
tlocceeutricitios of genius. Nay, s.mieef
them grew fairlv facetious at the "Phati
see.'," or "saints," or "dude," or "gen
tle hcimits," who deneunce corruption
te day as they themselves denounced it
yesterday. Indeed. "Pharisees" and
"saints." What, then, are the strange
and extravagant things which these
Phariees aud saints demand and which
after Mr. Blaine's nomination have sud
denly beceme se ridiculous ? De they ask
that a candidate for the presidency should
be tbe i!eal man and the embodiment of
all the human virtues ? That he should
part his hair in the middle aud wear
lavender gloves .' Ne, net that. But these
strange c.eatures, these "Pharisees" nnd
"dudes" insist that a man, te be elected
president of the United States,
should be a man of integrity; that
be should have a just sense of official
hjuer; that he should uet be one with a
record of prostituted etficial power, such
as, the Mulligan letters and the investiga
tien show, upju lus back. That is all. Why,
bow ridiculous this Is, te be sure. Have
veu ever heard anything se outlandish ?
Well, fellow citizens, when you se
grave men, men of public etacdmg, sud
denly disposed te laugh at ether men, who
te-day refuse te honor bad radioed
which yesterday they all in common con
demned, it is net altogether amusiug. It
is a rather serious symptom of the moral
effect Mr. Blaine's mere nomination ha
already produced. But it is euly e: e of
many. Tbe Republican party ence preudl
and justly called ttwif the party of moral
ideas. Where are 'hose moral ideas new ?
What is the answer of tbe thorough paced
partisan when y.iu remind him of "the
party of moral ideas" of the past and
point at the record et his candidate :'
"Hang moral ideas, we are for the party."
And he will tell you further that, what
ever may beceme of your moral ideas, you
are in honor bound te be for the party tee.
The Republican party was a party of free
men and velunteers r rem the nigs ani
from the Democrats they came, proud of
having cut their party tics, and they
gathered around the anti slavery banner,
for this they thought the cause of rijht.
And new the spokesman of the same party
tells you that he who opposes tbe candi
dates of his party because he conscien
tiously believes it wrong te support them
commits a dishonorable act.
Tne Duty of tbe Citizen.
As a member of a party I de net ceaie
te be a citizen. Upen all circumstances
the duties which I ewe as a citizen te my
country are superior te tbe duties which I
can possibly ewe te any party. When I go
as a delegate te a party convention I
consult with ethers as te what may be bst
for party action. When as a voter I go te
the polls, I consult my own consciecc censciecc consciecc
abeut what is best for the country's we:
fare. And if I conscientiously find that
what tbe party demands is net for the eecx)
of the country, then it is ne: only my right
out my amy as a ctisen te vete aaic&t it.
Who will gainsay this ? But new wc are
told cot euly that a dclegate te a conven
tion has no right te oppose his party
nominees, but that an ordinary member
of the party is by his honor forbidden te
de se. A new cede of political honor is
invented which forbids us te be honest.
There was en outcry once in this country
against the English principle : "Occeabub
ject, always a subjjet " ItuecaiB the Blaine
party wants te improve upon this by the
proclamation : " Oace a party raamber,
always a party aiavt ' And what is worse,
we see men who knew that all we say is
true, and who but yesterday eaid it them
selves, stula their consciences and wear the
b.ulg'j of that slavery.
But if the raere nomination of Mr. Blame
has accomplished this,' what would ba the
eiltcte of lus election te the i-retidcucy '.'
Iraairine that event te have taken plie)
Ii.iaine then ene of the elder men amjng
ui'AitheId fanhleced uotieas of better
times te meet a company of yeuntr, able,
active and aspiring politicians and te dis
course te them about their duties as pub pub
leo men. He would, of course, mention
foremost among these duties unseltlsb
li'votieu te the publie Interest, scrupulous
honesty and the maintenance of the
highest standard or official houer. Yeu
must net be surprised if an answer Hke
ihia comes back : " Old friend, you are
behind tbe times. That was geed talk
jears age, but only Pharisees and dudes
speak eonew and they, jeu should knew,
ar very ridiculous persons. As for us,
we are going into politics te make moaey.
We tee various channels of usnfulneiw
tbtre and we are net going te be dead
heads In anything that efTera itaelf."
"Bur," you object, "the people will
never lulernte ucb a thing." What will
the answer be ? "Yeu are behind the
tuneH attain, oil friend Years ace the
people might net have tolerated it, but
new they de. They rather like it. De jeu
kneff the story of James O. Blaine ? His
eiM was clear enough Kvorybedy knew
that lie had been ' en the make ' whoa he
w.is speaker of tbe Heuse. There were
Ui Mulligan letters and the testimony
and the faet that he had made a large for
tune without any business. There could
be ue doubt about it. Aud what happened?
Tlie Republicau party nominated him for
the prcsidoiiey. And Mr. Kvarts made a
long speech for him, with soverai Jokes in
it. And theso who protested agalust it
were laughed at as dudes and Pharlsecs,
And he was oleoted president and called
the great ropreeentatlve American. Yeu
tee the American people like this sort of
thing. This is the way te wealth and te
publie honor at the same time, as in
James G. Blaine's case. That is what we
want, tee. It is the read te the presb
deney. And some of us may get there in
tlie same way. Let us be 'en tbe make '
thou." What would you answer ? Would
net in case or Mr. Blaine's election all this
be true, overy word of it ?
But mere would be true ; and here 1 ask
for the nttoutlen of business men. De
j en think that tbe oentaglon of that
example would remaln oeullned te the
political field? De you think that the
sanotieu and encouragement, aye, the
glorification, whleh being en the make "
would rcoeive by the popular vete for Mr.
Blaine, would net be noticed by your
eashlers and your boek-koopoia and your
salesmen and your clerks ? Will net mauy
of them ask thomselres why they should

their hiulness duties nnd the use of thelr

Hie Uf mm-.- ille CnuillilKte.
The Democratic party has uever pre
edited a candidate whom auy friend of
geed government, D.'tu icratic or Repub
lican, could see step into tbe j residential
chair with greater leeliu; of security than
Grever Cleveland. The time, therelere, is
uncommonly prep.ti.ms fe.- a cb u.;e of
power, en account of the safety with which
it can be etl'ected. And here I may re
mark, by the way, that the scandalous
stories recently circulated about Mr.
Cleveland's private character haw, te my
knowledge, been careful v inquired into by
several parties separately by men of high
standing in Buffalo, by a cleiical ccuUc
man en the editorial s'aiT of the Independ
ent aud by ethers and that the reports of
all of them, as they have ceme te roe,
acree in pronouncing these stories mon
strous calumnies en tUe mm, winch will
recoil en tbe inventors. The pub'ic will
undoubtedly hear mero from the investt
gaters through tbe press. With this con
viction I stand here speaking of Governer
Cleveland. I beg Republicans te retnom retnem
ber that when Mr. C'levelan.l was elected
governor of New erk two years at;e, it
was tbreuch Republican support that lie
received his onormeus majority. And I
am sure every Republican in New Yerk
whose object was uet mere party ad
vantage, but an honest, able aud fearless
idministratleu of public aflairs for tbe
public geed, has ever sinci ceneratu'atetl
himself upon tbe support he nave that
Democratic candid ite. Te be su'e, while
receiving the hearty approbation and ap
plause of tint friei ds 'f reA government,
Governer t'levelard also made enemies
The bitterest a -ljug them were thegre8dy

peers te retain their present power during

preclude them from vetoing the fra'.clnse

persons, no doubt, would think him tee

" Well, every newsman will tell jeu that
