He will sit on the water like an oldfashioned three-decker with his ofl eye shut and bis beak on a grin, until the city ch«p thinks that If be can't blow that galoot c!ean out of tbe water at the first pop it would be use­ less bis shooting at a barn.

He has angered the heart ef the Democracy In all Its vi­ tality In his attempt to establish a civil service sysurn to which it Is op­ posed uncompromisingly, and In every, element of its composition. He has pursued a course particularly offensive to the Irish democracy. Ho has deep­ ly grieved American patriotism by bis pro British fishery treaty. He has aroused the oppesitloa of tbo grand army of the republic. He has brought out the very last impulse of sectional animosity at the north by attempting to restore the rebel flags. Ho has suddenly and unexpectedly declared that protection, long the most vital of all sentiments in the north, and rapid­ ly overspreading tbe south, most yield to the free trade theory of tbe tariff smasher, and to the interest of British merchants and manufacturers. 'The nomination of Mr. Cleveland will be a direct challenge to each aud all of these elments, and tho fato of a oaadl date of sueh pronouuoed qualities will naturally be overwhelming, whither he be beaten or successful." ntm >N.
