Ho Likes the Chicago Ticket, Bwt Wo aid Rather It Had Been Brother John. Nkw York, June 26.—General Wm. T. Sherman said last night: “I think thorn could not be a more powerful ticket than Harrison and Morton. I think that every man who fought for the preservation ot this Government should vote for those men. They are both strong Union mon; one is a soldier and the other a statesman —both well-fried in their country’s service. Harrison, t think, will be as strong as Blaine would have been. Of course I would rather hay brother John had got it, but the Republican party should be the judge and select its own standard-bearer. It is now the duty of every frne citlsen to stand by those men who were frne to |he country when she was in danger. There has never been a true Union man seat to11 repress*t tills country in foreign lands under the present Administration, and it is time tor a change. I believe Cleveland has dene the best he could. I have no fault to find wtth his administration. My feelings, though, carry me back to the war. I would not keep up sectional differences. Every Southern man has the same rights we have. But Cleveland has sent out men to represent us wh^wwuid have starved us during the wdVThey are what I call copperheads. .Cleveland is seventeen years younger than I. He should have shouldered a musket nnd gone to the front. Every body capable of carrying a gun should have offered hla services. Then the war would not hnve lasted as long as it did. “At Vicksburg and Gettysburg we wtire short-handed, and if thOm men who hung in the rear. had gone to the front, the war would have been over a year sooner than it was. Ths candidates named now are wonderfully good. Harrison is a man of great character, good habits and lineage. He is good every way, and a fit and proper person to go to the White House. Now it is a fair apd square race between the two parties." AWFUL DESTRUCTION.

RELIABLE and able. Hid BxwoHtd Capacity at Mr. Cleratnnit Surpassed Only by Hia Honesty. Dismayed and disappointed at the spectacle of harmony and enthusiasm presented by the convention which gave the Democracy and the country such a splendid ticket, the Republicans resort to the puerile expedient of taunting the Democratic party with being under the dominating influence of Mr. Cleveland. “A Cis-Atlantic Caesar," cries one Wastern organ, •• Kaiser Cleveland recrowned," chimes in the New York Tiibune; “Cleveland’s convention,” “The SL Louis ratification infecting,” “Obeying Cleveland's instructions,” etc., have been the glaring head-lines In a score of other Republican papers. They wish to convey the Impression that the great party of the people is so permeated with the spirit of Cleveiandism that it can not for the present entertain any policy which is not in accord with that of the President. They are laboring to show that the President so completely controls his party as to stiifle all independence of action in it. How absurd this line of argument is may be seen from the very records of a party which is incapable of submitting to a dictator, and whoso very independence of spirit has been at times ca rried to a dangerous length in conventions. Of all political organizations on the face of the globe. the Democratic party of the United States is the least calculated to submit to the dictation of any individual. Debate, caucus, criticism or “ kicking ’ is as free as the air to any Democrat in or out of convention. Mr. Cleveland has been severely criticised and roundly abused on many occasions by members of his own party. Yet many of those critics and grumblers were among the most enthusiastic supporters of Mr. Cleveland at SL Louis. Why is it that the party which has been called the “fierce,” the “vtnterrifled,” should lift up its voice, without one note of dissent, for the man of ite choice of four years ago, and declare to the world that it is unalterably united and solified under bis leadership? Because it recognizes in Grover Cleveland elements of invincible popularity which make him a leader among leaders. Why is it that the grand “Old Roman,” who desired to remain in retirement, and enjoy in bis old age the rest to which a life time of distinguished and honorable service for his country and his party entitled him, has been induced to buckle on his Democratic armor once more and do battle in a National campaign? Because he recognizes in Grover Cleveland the fearless, consistent champion of Democratic principles, the unflinching antagonist of the Republican nurtured monopolies w hich he himself had struck so many lusty blows, He recognized in his associate on the National ticket a true Democrat, a high-minded patriot, a courageous leader. The Republican organs which sneer at the devotion of the Democratic party for its chosen leader forget their previous attempts to show that there was widespread disaffection towards Mr. Cleveland in the ranks of his party, and they unconsciously give him credit for superiority in brains and power far beyond any one in their party. They testify by their sneers to the successful leadership and executive capacity of the very man they oppose, and acknowledge the popularity that bold and positive action, firm and unshaken administration of the affairs of Government and untarnished honesty and fidelity to duty bring with them, }t would be well for them ha<PAhey a leader of such capacity, instead of having a lot of nobodies over whom they quarrel like Kilkenny cats.—Albany Argus.

constantly told that the Republicans alone were his safe guides and true political friends. . But what are the hard facts, plain to the mind of every unbiassed and intelligent person? In unctuous tones, with eyes rolled upwards, the Republicans, from pulpit and from stump, have prefuched to the black man the saying doctrine of political equality. But what more have they done beyond preaching? Absolutely nothing. Was it in the power of the Republican party to help the black man? With few notable and recent exceptions, the patronage of the State and Nation have been at the command of Republicans, and while the Mack voter came faithfully to the polls on each election day and did all in his power to preserve and sustain tile party, yet in the division of the honors and emoluments he has been entirel y ignored. The Republicans have not acted on the square to dealing with their blade allies. For political bread they have given political tracts, and nothing more. But tinfcss have changed and Cur black citizens have kept up with the front j^nk to the political march forwards. Four years ago they were told that the success of the Democratic (tarty meant for them political ruin, tut the history of the Cl eveland Administration proves thfit the expounders of political doctrine tor the Republican party did not tell the truth to this matter. Without fear, favoritism or prejudice, but as a matter of duty to the whole people of the United States, idl men have reoeived their full rights and even handed justice under the Democratic rule of President Cleveland. Our law knows only citwees; there is no creed, no color, no favored race or flaw, but under Democratic rule atone has tills equality of the la w been constantly illustrate! How has it been with the Republicans? Not a blaekman holds an office of honor or profit to this State by the lavor of the Republican party. Theblack man has beer a faithful Republican and an intelligent and capable citiisen, and Ae only reason be has not reREPUBLICAN HYPOCRISY, n* Opposition Forty's Shabby Treatment of the Biaek Mas. i ' The black man has, under all political conditions, been the faithful ally of the Republican party; and he has been

mains that though the Republicans are continually declaring their lore for the black man, yet they have not proven il by facta. A Democratic Governor in Massachusetts appointed a black man as judge, and when his place was vacated by death the Republicans refused to appoint a competent black man to fill his place. This' fact stands beyond dispute, and Is typical of the Republican party's treatment of the black citizen all along the line. The Democratic mayor of Boston has just nominated for the vacancy on the Board of Assessors, a place of honor and profit, an intelligent and competent black man. In doing this the mayor can not be charged with paying? the price for political services rendered. It is simply a just, nonpartisan and truly Democratic nomination, in keeping, as the record shows, with all the nomination^ of Mayor O’Brien, though about election _ time the Republicans falsely deny the record. In is well for all honest citizens, and especially for our black citizen, to remember these facts, and when election time comes around let truth and justice govern their actions at the polls, and let them refuse to be driven or led Hike unthinking creatures by men who seek to pay them for their votes in the base coin of empty flattery.—Boston Globe. iCAMPAIGN BLUSTER.' The Repshllraa Prognostic of 1M4, and Mow Th«y Have Bean Fulfilled. Let us look back to the campaign ol four years ago. According to the opponents of the Democratic party what was to folio# the'election of Cleveland? The constitutional amendments adopted since the war of the rebellion wiould be nullified, f • The rebel debt would be paid.' Millions upon millions of rebel claims upon the Treasury would be allowed. The South as a section would take complete and insolent possession of the Government. The negro would be re-enslaved, and might never hope for the forty acres and a mule freely promised him by car-pet-baggers. The credit of the Nation would be vastly impaired, if not wholly; destroyed. Governments would be sold for a song, and the Nation would tremble on the verge of bankruptcy. Industrial and railroad enterprises showing the general disaster Would disappear In the universal gloom. The civil service would be given ovet to looters and ignoramuses. The White House would become the abode of a Satyr, and the virtues ol domesticity would receive an awful shock. .i Immigration would cease. Capital would fly the country. Well, Cleveland was elected despite these gloomy prognostics. Some electors believed them, but a majority ol the people heard them with contempt. ’Nearly four years of Cleveland’s Administration have passed. Wherin has been the slightest realization ol the gloomy forecast? The constitutional amendments are still operative. Neither rebel debt nor rebel claims have been paid. The negro enjoys his freedom. The South has its proper place In the Union. Government bonds are at a premium, and there is a growing and troublesome surplus in the Treasury. Industrial and railroad development has continued. The jcivil service is efficient and subordinate. The Administration has been industrious, honest, painstaking and successful. The dismal shriek* of the disappointed will again be heard in the Chicago platform. The politicians, eager to be in as four years ago they were loath to go out, will point with alarm to vari

oils evils which they will declare threaten the country by reason of the prospect of continued ascendency. The earth' belongs to the saints, and they are the saints. But the people are not likely to experience any alarm. The prophets of evil have been discredited. Delegates to the Chicago convention may point with pride to their broad phylaoteries and thank God that they are not as other men, publican^ and sinners. But the pharisee has * had his day. His superior goodness, attested by vituperative challenge of his opponents, is no longer credited. The people are with Cleveland and Thurman and reduced taxation.—Chicago Times. CURRENT 'COMMENT. -WelL^may the delegates to the Democratic scnvention congratulate themselves on the’ wisdom with which they have discharged the responsible duties imposed upon them by the people.—Hebrew Standard. -Cleveland and Thurman do not suit the Republican leaders, and we are glad of it The more they displease the monopolists the more they please the people who are fleeced to satisfy their cravings.—Belleville Democrat. ——The election returns show that when the Republican party has been defeated in New York, New Jersey nod Connecticut it was. owing to the vote of the manufacturing centers and that just as high-protection doctrines are emphasized the majority against the Republican party in these centers is increased.—Tribune (Rep.). -In his “Twenty Years of Ciongross,” Mr. Blaine says of Mr. Thurman that “his rank in the Senate was established from the day he took his seat, and was never lowered during the period of his service. His retirement from the Senate was a serious loss to his party—a loss, indeed, to the body. He left behind him the respect of all with whom he had' been associated during his twelve years of honorable
