The Democrats of this State, not satisfied evidently with the way the campaign is going, are preparing to make attack upon the personal character of Captain Morrison, the Republican candidate for State Treasurer. It has been reported that a New York Democratic paper is about to undertake a dirty work from which any Democratic organ in Pennsylvania would be expected to shrink. Captain Morrison, on the first intimation of this, declared that he should promptly prosecute any newspaper which assailed his personal character, and denounced the contemplated charges as false and malicious. The assertion that Chairman Watres is endeavoring to get Captain Morrison off the Re publican ticket is the purest inven tion. Nothing of the kind has been thought of. Our Democratic op ponents must be pretty badly dis tressed for campaign amniunation. Less than a month intervenes un til the date of the election, and it is interesting to note that the outlook was never brighter for Republican success. This applies not only to Pennsylvania, where Gregg and Morrison are assured of a walk over, but in Ohio and New York, where the Republican state tickets are virtually admitted to be in the lead. McKinley has made a gallant fight in the cause of right principles, and he has steadily gained from the date of his nomination. The nomination of a barrel candidate in the Empire state has weakened the Democrat*, rank and file, while on the other hand the Republicans have made re markable advances. Under the circumstances the coming of Novem ber 3rd ntay be looked forward to by the Republicans with feelings of pleasure and confidence. Dirty Poll lira*. The Democratic party, always prolific of schemes as dishonorable as they are disgraceful is to resort to its old time practices again this J ear. It seems strange that a party seeking votes could so boldly re sort to such a disreputable mode of political warfare, but the Demo cfltic pa r ty or its managers never hesitate when a plan is outlined, no matter if its intent be criminal. Not satisfied with the weekly at tempt to gain political advantage out ot the exposure of official ras cality, in which Republicans ex posed, tried, convicted and punished the wrong-doers, a still bolder step is to be made now that the cam paign is drawing to a close. It has leaked out tlmt Boss Ilar ity has decided on a final onslaught slander, villification and mud ■ing. in which effort he has en he services of certain virulent vinous New York newe 'lie first attack is DO be -rge I).

LITTTEK BALL. FKO.II ABROAD! An Account of an Ocean VO.VHRC Kf a Former Krpubllcan Typo |Mnileil at Slratford-on-Avon, Englnnd.] On Hoard Ship, Any. 6, 18!'l. Tlii.s is the longitude of delight and the latitude of good health. Everybody who was built to sail over the broad blue sea Ims gotten lover that "curious feeling" that re sults from the peculiar motion of the ship and is out on board sun ning himself. 1 have never before so thoroughly understood why men do not like to cross the ocean with women. As a general thing a wo man attracts agi eat deal of atten tion from the men hut on board ship she is particularly noticable. The representative woman on our ship came on board looking as i' she had never heard of such a thing as seasickness. She appeared in the most jaunty fashion : A yatcli ing cap adorned her head, a striking ulster enveloped her shapely body, and a pair of glasses thrown over her shoulder gave her an air of con tempt for those who gazed upon her. I came on hoard with a wan appear ance and did not resemble a sailor at all. I was escorted by a fox terrier, who was immediately con signed to the butcher-shop. Nothing jis seen of this typical young woman 1 who ate a hearty supper last even ]ing and maintained that seasickness ! was only an imaginary disorder and ; could be thrown off by action of the j will. She was below. One steward ess held her head and another a | basin and her face was of that color 'which we so admire in certain kinds of candy. No one can persuade a I woman to come on deck when sick, j She would rather stay below and grow sicker and sicker, and that'* where the beautiful persistency of woman come in. There is a young man on bi iml who is a joy forever.. He is going over to get married and is going to bring his bride back to America with liiin on the return trip. As 1 understand that her experience on the water is limited to an occasional trio up the Thames in a steam launehy, I spend considerable time in wondering whether he will love her when they reach New York. If I were to advise the bride 1 bhould say : Forbid your husband seeing you until you are entirely well. A seasick woman is enough to make every man forswear matri mony and become a nine-tenth century monk. Somehow you never realize the great bigness of this world until you are stretched out on a steamer chair and look all about yon. You wonder who the first man was that went sailing, and where he got his courage. J list as you are wonder ing, word comes that there has been a baby born in the steerage, and you are invited down to see it. Everything else is forgotten and away you go. It is a funny looking mite ot humanity, with mouth wide open and a mop of black hair. The pleasantness of a week on the ocean depends very much on one's sell. With a proper prepara» tion of pills before hand and a little care as to what you eat. 1 find the normal individual will keep well. But the woman, I observed who goes to sea finds fault and these are some of her complaints : She wants to know why they cook anything on board as the smell makes her sick. She wants to know why the captain can't stop the ship for a few days, for none of the passengers would mind being a little late to oblige a lady. She wants to know why the ship physician can't be with her all the time, for she knows there is no body on board who needs him so much. She wants to know why she was ever born, and this is what I wanted to know, for there seems no reason in the world for her exist ance. However, we will soon land, aud all the passengers will begin to execute their plans of enjoyment. The butcher has delivered up the dog and he's too fat for grace, and as all is blowing well, I remain, C. LOKRKX VVINO. Charles Stewart Parnell, the once great Irish leader, died on Wednes day of last week. lie was confined to his bed of a severe cold on Fri day Oct. 2d, and died in his wife's arms at Walsingham terrace at half past 11, on the above given date. He was buried at Dublin on Suuday the 11th.
