I shall speak from the record, jiiuLLwilLaskrtoJie ostraeizecLfrom alLda-. cent swiety if I cannot point to corrupt on stalking straight to the door of the execu- ) five mansion and knocking at the door and coming out of the door, with all that corruption sought at the expense of the : people. If I can not prove that bribes known to fail in the Assembly in 1883 were placed, so near Mr. Cleveland that if he does not have the money he . can get it at ) any time—if I cannot prove that lam not > what I profess to Senator Grady before the Tammany Committee,,!

Curtis in 18/6. , ] It is not generally known that during the next Presidential terin four Justices of the Supreme Court will pass the statutory-age of seventy .years, which entitles them to retirement, with salary. Their names are: Chief Justice White, boin 29th of November. 18lti, Mr. Justice Miller, born sth of. April, 1816. , ' Mr. Justice Field, born 4th of November,. 1816. - - Mr. Justice Bradley, born 14th of March, 1815. ’ . It is probable that the next President wiH appoint' the successors of all of these Judges. A tremendous responsibility will therefore rest in the hands of either Grover Cleveland or James G. Blaine. Is it safe to put *the Supreme Court of the United States in the hands of a Democratic President? Do we want Cnlhounism—State sov-ereignty-enthroned in that tribunal?—Buffalo Express.
