J jartar la the hour of Its success. We are
,- y wry sure that the party wants nothing

J!jL shoulders. It Is but the rent of the per-
uuiu Bufs auu npieens or. us owner,
and the smallness of tbe man Is abund
antly testified by the smallness of the
paper. It has aimed te make the Demo

and absurdity of the attempt is
oaspicneM when we reflect tbat
Tharman. Pendleton, Greeabeck and
r
all the great Democratic luminar
ies of the state were numbered in tbe
crowd that were te sit at McLean's feet.
The little geese himself did net seethe
absurdity of the idea ; as be does net
knew te-day what a ridiculous figure he
presents in aspiring te a cabinet office.
i He knows tbat his father left him a
jrreat newspaper ; and with this engine

urn, ue nimmij is a greater
man tnan he otherwise would be,
ier witneut ma engine he would
probably never have gained public
attention above the Ore laddie circle.
That Is about his calibre. With the
Mnquirer he acquired a power which he
has net known hew te wisely use. We
Have net the slightest idea that Presi
dent Cleveland will select se conspicu
ously unwise a man for a place among
his constitutional advisers. If he should
entertain tee tneugtat lt'weuld be con
clusive evidence of his small knowledge
of a small man. The suggestion of the
.appointment comes through McLean
uiuiseu. who, Doing a newspaper
man, knows hew te get himself
boomed in the newspapers. He
has an unusually elaborate exposition
ei nimseit supplied from Washington te
day te the papers that will print It.
According te this McLean was ardently
aiaing uieveiana while, his paper was
ardently seeming te de something else.
It is net clearly said that McLean
thought the Enquirer could help Cleve-
iana eesc ny a minimum amount of
ardor and effort In his behalf; but that
is one inference tbat can be drawn from
Mcliean's present declarations. He ad
mits that he made no effort for the Dem
ocratic state ticket in Ohie, because it
suited him better te let it be defeated.
He says he did great things in the
way of contributions te the national
committee, though the state committee
sever heard from iimr-Hewas doing
his work in secret, but Gov. Cleveland
j . wn - uiK null ue noe UUlUtf. ntJ
"""nopeTerJonn'ssaxo that the governor
did. It Is all that will save his hair. If
the president elect has net better evi
dence of the geed quality and Democracy
of the McLeans than the outside De
mocracy have, he will cast them. aU
summarily and unceremoniously Inte tbe
outer darkness, and let them wail and
bark te the limit of their, lead mouthed
capacity. It will be a blessed thing if tbe

It Is encouraging te read the report of

inquire Inte tbe death of a woman who
fell from a sleeping car this side of

husband, should have fallen off the car
before midnight and net be missed for
nearly an hour, nor found until daylight,
when she had been exposed te a drench

openly advocated a mere liberal form of

half past nine when it was discovered. An

that nothing could bs dene te save the

This was owned bytMr. Bltner and Isaae

The fire was undoubtedly tbe work of
