Gonernl Ilutler nnneuces te the edi
tor of his organ, the New Yerk Sun,
that be docs "Intend te stand by the
nominations of the Greenback and
laboring men, and the anti-monopolists,
and he hopes everybedy will vote for
him who thinks it beat te de se ;" he will
rIve thorn the reasons In detail why they
should, after he has read Cleveland's
letter of nccoptance and finds out Just
where he differs from him. We tee
hope that everyone will vote for General
Butler who thinks it best te de se ; but
we de net knew what senslble person
can think it best, when the general's
show of election Is se peer. There are
many men who will vote for the man
who represents most nearly their views,
regardless or the prospect of their
opinions being enforced by his
election. Hut tliey nre a very
small minority of the voters. Generally
it is thought best te vete for a caudldate
whose election Is possible. The general
needs te persuade the voters that helms
a ciinnce, te have a reasonable hope of a
big vote. He might employ himself in
till way pending his icceipt of Gov.
Cleveland's letter. But he can hardly
demonstrate anything mere than that
fiere is a possibility of his throwing the
ejection into the lleusa of Representa
tives ; hew ha Is going te come out el
that twdy with an election certificate in
view of its strong Democratic majority
he will find it difficult te show. Prebablj
he will be content with that much of a
victory. But h is net lie who is te be
satisfied, but the people whom he asks te
vote for him. While they are persuaded
that the contest is between Cleveland
ami Blaine, tliey will net be likely in
great numbers te threw away their votes
ou Butler.
We de net knew why the general
awaits Cleveland's letter te write his.
His own nomination antedates Cleve
landV, and his own letter Is first in
order. It is true that after lip was no in
inated himself, hu went as a delegate te
Cutcase te nominate a candidate for
the Democracy, and tlihi is a
Bttle variation from the ordi
nary practiee of presidential candi
elites which General Butler might
profitably employ himself In explaining,
pending the publication of Cleveland's
letter. He can hardly need te read that
letter te tell why he has wobbled se
much as te his own candidacy, since he
lm determined te resume his position a3
a candidate without having seen the
letter. He would have been mere logical
a geed deal if lie had deferred his an
nouncement that he was such a candi
date until Cleveland's letter had appear
el ; and no doubt his delay in proclaim
ing himself has been caused by his desire
te make the proclamation en the heels
of the Cleveland letter. His announce'
nint probably Inn baen ready for some
time, ready te fellow Cleveland's
acceptance. He new announces his
purpose in advance of the letter,
Ivcausy he fears he will be smothered
out of the cauvass by its late appear
ance. His followers want te knew hew
fiey are te govern themselves. His great
organ, the Sun, mid his little organs,
want te begin te attune their chords te
their work. The "Greenback men,"
the " laboring men " and the " anti anti anti
mmopeliats," want te knew whether
tliey have a caudidale.aud can no longer
wander as sheep without a shepherd.
General Butler appears, the fourth
man in the lb-Id, as the candidate of the
rag, tag and bobtail leavings of the ether
parties. He repusents these whose lint
Ijve is neither Democracy or Republi
canism or Temperance. They are a de
jointed let who nave nothing particular
in common, and whom it will need all of
Butler's versatile genius te gather under
ene banuer. Anti-monopoly principles
have nothing in common with currency
views, but the currency is net a living
Issue any mere, and the general, in mass
in,r Ins party, will put the Greenback
division in the rear as a reserve. He
will make his fight te win the labor and
anti-uionepolbt vote, which will run very
well together. Hew he is going te show
tint he will de mere for labor at.d
against monopoly than the D-uiu-cratie
party, is the difficulty that con
fronts him. If the Democratic party is
net dxveted te the latere sis of the labor,
ing man and the enemy of the schemes
of monopolists, It has no position at al
before the country, for it has aimed te1
make this its distinctive policy, Gn.
Butler will net be able te wrest from it
this solid ground en which he
has planted himself. About the
only open ground left for him
is te run as the reiutsentative
of all the vlilne and the poets in the
land, wiih .Mr. Charles A. Dana thrown
in ; who has inade this claim for him
and stands ready te baek it with his
pen. The general will have te wear a
coat of many colerH te make himself
attractive te all the sentiments that have
been left out in the cold by the ether three
parties In their nominations and plat
forms; but he is jyst the man for such
an exhibition, and lie will give us a
canvass with plenty of bright hues in it-
Caricature In the Campaign.
The New Yerk Tribune has reached
the conclusion that the American school
of caricature has net adhered scrupu
leusly te the truth, and that it has been
careless nnd sometimes ridiculous in its
facts. That is no doubt true, as may
easily be recalled by several notable cam
palgns. The Greeley cpisode was the most
Btriklng Instance of this. But even then
caricaturists only followed the popular
bent. Never was the political press niore
virulent than In the year W2. Never
were political speakers mero reckless in
the use of facto, nor the peeplu mero
willing or anxious for a descent te the
lowest order of warfare. The Illustrated
par - e;iy contributed te this feeling.
They did their part. Then, tee, it must
be remembered that Greeley's figure and
career presented peculiarly striking con
trasts, and that these are the stock In
trade of the cjrlcarurlat who naturally
accepted them at their full value In hia
profession.
But the Trlbunt lets Its prejudices run
away with Its fairness when It reaches
the conclusion that the abuses of carlca
turcs have- been mere conspicuous In the
present campaign than In any of Its pre
decessors. The cartoons of the present
day prcsent the extrcme of refinement
compared with their manifestations in
1S712 and 1S70. The caricaturists have
new something te wetk en. A career
made plcturesque by a long course In
political jobbery with a fuller belief in
the truth of this judgment gives Nast,
Glllam, Keppler and their biether
aitists just the opportunity their art de
manded. This is why Blaine elves them
an opportunity never presented before
and why they improve it te the utmost.
His varied career strikes them as It does
the public. But Mr. Cleveland's clear
public record has few possibilities for the
distortion and exaggeration Inseparable
from political excoriation. Hisassecia
tiens have been reputable, and every
position lias simply revealed the record
if duty well done. The pictorial papers
have a bonanza In Blaine, and they may
be expected te work it te the last.
A Vierd te City Council.
The councils wrestled last evening with
the question of exhausting the con
tingent fund for the building of feweis
and for water works improvements.
They left the matter unsettled. It U one
which they should maturely consider.
However desirable Improvements may be
they should net be made until they can
be properly paid for. The coat should t v
cut according te the cloth. The coi. cei.
tlugent fund should net be exhausted at
the beginning of the j ear. Next year's
revenues should net be taken te pay this
year's expenditures. When the ceuticlis
have money let them expend it judi
ciously. When they nae no inenej hi
them expend none. The same mles
g ivvni public expenditure that coutn ceutn
individual eutlajs It is a pity if J. an
caller has net the means te pay for such
street and water work Improvements
as sht needs, but until s nne proper s.n
of supplying the means are secured the
improvements should net be made.
It 1 a niestien whether the sewerage
of the town jli'iil 1 he taken in e the
creek above the wa'er works. e think
it should net. Hefeie tliesysleinef sevar-
ae ueeded.fer the east end is lielennined'
there should be an examination made by
engineers, and the plan for future drain,
age should be carefully prepared, Pessl
Ply a removal of the water works stall in
will be ultimately necessary.
Whim the city is without funds te
improve its streets, is it the time for the
new office of clerk te the mayor te be
created, with a salary of ene? Our
mayors heretofore have done without
clerks ; why should there new be one
utcded ? The office is uet necessary ;
the clerk would have nothing te de but
te serve as an office boy.

A terrible tragedy took place in the
usually piiet locality of Arch street,
Allegheny, a llttle after neon Wednesday.
The victim was Sir. Benjamin Moere, a
well-known young man, a widower and
boek-kcopcr of the BcMemer Steel com
pany, who lives with his mether-in-law,
.Mrs. Jehn Hebb. At half-past twolve in
the afternoon Mr. Moere, while at home
for his lunch, was called te the sitting room
te see a visitor The caller was Alex.
Mnrriinau, a iihotegratdier ou Federal
street. The two meu were aloue togethor
in the room and after a few minutes the
repert of a pistol rang through the house.
The startled inmates raj te the room ami
roaehed it just as Merrimau passed hastily
out of the front deer. Ou the lloer Moero
was found, writhing iu pain Irem a dan.
goreus wound The ball had entered bo be bo
tweeu the fourth and fifth ribs, passed
through both lungs aud ledged under the
arm pit. A phjslcian was summeued
quickly aud after making an examination
stated that the wound would prove fatal.
After the sheeting Merriman went dt-
rectly te the ma)or's oflke and gave hlm hlm
self up. He said he lived at H Meutcrey
street, and that his father was a river
captain. He told the officer that he had
shot Moero, but refuscd at first te give any
information whatever as te the cause of
bis action. lie was taken iu charge by the
c dicers nud locked up He seemed greatly
excited, but said uething for some tlme.
Frequent questioning by the officers at
last diew fmtn Merrltnau the statement
that his wife had confessed te him that
Moero had b -en unduly intimate with her,
aud Moere, wheti confronted by Merrimau,
ceulcsM'd te the same tiling. It was Moero's
confess! ui which infuriated Merrtman se
that he drew his revolver aud shot down
the destrejer of his domestic happiness.
"Iliad called." Merrimau said, "at
Mm. It ibb's house te have a conversation
with Moero aud Ins aunt concerning the
character of a young girl with whom I was
acquainted During this convocation the
trouble with my wue was brought up.
Mo.ire bad confessed Hoveral days previous
te lravii g beeti intimate with my wife aud
when the matter was brought up 1 became
plunged and pulhug out the reelver
tired at him. I don't kuew hew mauy
shuts I tired, but I intended te kill him."
Moero is till living aud conscieun. but
as the ball pitted through both luuga
there is very little hepe of lm recovery.
He was interrogated as te the eausn of the
trouble, but he positively refused te say
anythiug concerning the afiair. His wife
has beeu dead but a little ever .1 year, aud
it is said that he was engaged te aud was
iateudieg shortly te marry a well known
young lady of Pittsburg. Moero Is about
twenty tlve years of age, alwas dressed
faultlessly and was a geueral favorite.
Merrimau within the last two or three
months has been in several suits, caused,
as he claimed, by men being tee familiar
with his wife. His wile is a short, stout,
little woman, and Is rather prepossessing
in appearance She is a native of Alle
gheny and lived before her marti.ige with
her parents en oue of the streets oil' the
North Park. It is baid that the tneti were
friends forsemo years aud that there was
treuble between them Rome years age.
Merrimau has the reputatleu of being
occentrio and rather llighty at times.

The. cheap excursion last Sunday fiein
Philadelphia te Gettysburg, tempted me,
and I went. Thu ciic.tpiieiu of the fare
tempted my purse, nml the idea of a
pleasant day ou the renowned battle field,
tempted my curiosity, possibly my patriot

1 suppose, that the ttaln was late about
half an hour, for I have said it was au

We admire line ngrieultur.il views, and
nothing pleases me at least moie than te
leek at them, and I semetimcM, when net

oue passed mu, 1 seen canin te the con
elusion that se many passed innjiintM
make me niove. My platforms were ee
cupled mainly, I think, by oeuutry men
aud boys, Judging from the amount of
talking that was done. It's a tact, we
oeuutry folks often talk tee much, but
seme of them laugl- a great deal, tee, aud
work for their living, and sleep well, and
