OOOD HEW* FROM TUB K.X&T. the following extracts from a pri­ vate letter to a wcll-kuown citizen toaro are all the more gratifying and Inspiring becauso tbey are written by an ex-Clilcago&n aud & man whose per* cuptlve faculties are keon and whose political judgment is good; "And right here," before I go any further let we say to you that this State will come near giving Harrison 100,000 majority. I have never seen or heard auything like it. The Republi­ cans are jubilant and active, and unit­ ed to a man. In Jefferson County Cleveland will not reoeivo more than fifty old soldier votes. A gentleman jiist told me that in the towrfcof Clay­ ton thirty-aeven Democrats had come out for Harrison, and more were com­ ing; this is the poorest report from any town yeL Blaine carried the county by 1,930, and Harrison will have over 3,000, Oneida County, which went 30 for Cleveland, will glye 3,000 for Harrison. Our people there will not settle for 2,999. 1 was in Buffalo on my way down. That county went for Blaine by 1,300, and will go for Harrison by at least 7,000. In Syracuse tbey told me that many of the best workers in tbe Democratic) party bad come over, and, judging from the net result up to date, they prophesied they would double their majority of 4,400 of four years ago. In Troy and Albany, they have large Harrison clubs made up of Democrats, and they won't l*t any one join who did not vote for Cleveland four years ago. A very prominent man from Troy, and a life-long Democrat of the old school, now for Harrison, told me that he per* senally knew of 500 Democrats in T«oy who were out Tor Harrison. Forty veterans who voted for Cleveland, in tbe town of Lowville--all there are of that kind--have signed for Harrison, and all but three of that kind in Watertown are now wearing Harrison and Morton badges. The committee rooms of the Democrats here have not been opened, while those of the other side have been wide open for weeks and are nightly thronged by a ver y enthusiastic crowd. A man on tbe train said: "Watch the returns from Warsaw if you want to see a clean sweep. I merely mention these little facts to show you how tbe tide is run­ ning.

"Why, till your men worked for six­ ty cents per day, as our men do." • But there are politicians in Ameri­ ca," I said, "who advise the laboring men to vote for this same free trade." "And the men listen?" "Some ignorant ones do." "Well," said the Belgian manufac** turers. "Instead of listening to a dem- nK°£ue who would decrease their high vages down to the low wages of our people, your American laborers ought to drive such a demagogue out of tbe country RHSUSttATISM Coxrotns purifies tt» out tbu lactic acid, which iin, sad itttoiw tba blood- PAINKa CElitKY Co: blood.

A Chicago Traveling Man Deserts tbe Banks of the Free Trade Party. T. A. Reynolds, an ex-soldier, a Democrat and a traveling man for Henry W. King & Co.. clothing, has become convinced of the error of his ways and has joined tbe Republican forces. He will be found this fall in the Harrison camp, "voting as he ebot." It is not Improbable that a conver­ sation that recently occurred between Mr, Reynolds and an Englishman bad something to do with his change of heart. It took place on a train in Kan­ sas, Tbe Englishman announced him­ self the agent of a powerful English syndicate. The Chicago man inquired his errand in that|part of the country O," replied the Englishman "we hold mortgagee on pretty .nearly everything in sight, don't you know." Here he gaveajcomprehensive sweep of bis arm in the direction o' tbe sur­ rounding horizon, and continued with the air of,the landed proprietor We're watching things ^closely just at present, for if the Democrats carry the election all these mortgaged lands will come Into ear bands. With Cleve land and free trade," said the English­ man with the air of a man stating an ordinary business proposition, "these farmers can't keep up the payment of their interest don't you know, and we shall foreclose on their farms. And it will be a jolly good thing for the coun­ try too. The trouble with you Ameri­ cans is that you've no class distinctions. a common navvy, by Jove, working with his hands to>day, may be a landed pro­ prietor or a .member of Congress to­ morrow.

The latest example of "the perennial mouth" was seen in the Senate Wednesday when Mr George and other Southern brigadiers cut the string and allowed a lot of the old treasonable talk regarding the patriotism of Jeff Davis to escape to disturb the sleep of the Democratic campaign committee from now on till November. "The perennial mouth" Is a Democratic institution.--Inter Ocean 19"According to free trade theoiles wages should decrease as a country grows older. How has this worked under protection here In America? Wages have increased 38 per cent. Since I860, when Democratic free' trade had its latest test.

A CHANGE OF BASIS. The democrats, in their platform of 1884, used the following language: Unnecessary taxation is unjust taxa­ tion. We denounce tha Republican party for having failed to relieve the people from the crushing war taxes * The system ef direct taxation known as tbe internal revenue is a war tax. Such was their rl«clarAtlon four years ago, and suoh their denunciation of the Republican party because they bad not abolished "the crushing war taxes," But since then tbey have con- eluded that, all things considered, since tbe whisky ring demand it, that terribly crushing tax would better remain, and because tbe Republicans in their platform declared in favor of removing it, In the event of a very improbable contingency, they shake their heads with solemnity, deplore the "free whisky" proclivities of their friends the Republicans, and suggest the calling of conventions by the people to denounce such a suggestion with referenoe to the "war tax" Ob! ye twin jewels, Conslstenoy and Sin­ cerity 1 A PROHIBIT ION 1ST'S RMOLUTION. Lancaster, Pa., Aug, 12.--A. C Leonard, who has been a prominent Prohibitionist here for some years, and who was two years ago the party candidate for the Legislature in the city district, publishes tho following card, severing his connection with the third party and returning to bis Re­ publican allegiance: Whereas, In my eager desire to promote the cause of temperance. 1 did for a brief season act with the Prohibition party; and, Whereas. Every Democrat that I met took me by tbe band and said I bad taken a grand step, while at the same time tbey kept right on voting the Democratic ticket; and. Whereas, Noticing, as never before that the solid Democratic press favor­ ed the Prohibition party movement and the drink traffic at the same time. I began to reflect, and soon became convinced that in acting with the Democratic Aid Sooiety I was making a great mistake, and 1 am the more confirmed In this conclusion, Bince statistics show that the Republican High License law has closed one-half the drinking-places in the State, which, wtiile not all that we would desire, is nevertheless just that much more than the Democratic party will or the Prohibition party can give us; therefore I have Resolved, That it is the part of wis dom to work and vote with the Repub­ lican party, which has done so much and shows a willingness to do still more for the cause of sobriety, I®*Senator Sherman touched tho administration In a sore spot when he Introduced his resolution calling upon the secretary of tho treasury for statement showing tbe amount of Government money on deposit ia n» tlonal banks on the 1st of August, 1888, and the amount and description of United States bonds and other securities pledgisd for tbe repayment of such deposite. The ^resolution was passed. It has been charged' that the Treasury department has been giving favored banks, particularly the West­ ern National Bank, of New York City, of which the late Daniel Manning was preeid3nt the use of enormous sums of Government money, without interest, and without proper security.
