D., uie eminent Unitarian preacher and au­ thor, died at his home in Jamacia Plain, llass. He had been sick for several days. From the Chicago Mail, Political Oatloak. The democratic party learns noth­ ing. It is reck-ribbed ever In Its con- victloa tbat when it has met in con* vention^a/nd howled over a condidate that candidate Is going to be elected. In Illinois it expects tq^make Palmer governor. Nationally, It expects to make Cleveland president again. Its faith is Brobdingnaggian and its reas­ oning is that of a Zulu. It Is as bourbon- ish as in the days after the war, when It went Into a campaign with the same blind confidence that it did four years ago, when the law of political change gave it at last a temporary ascendan­ cy. Give it any sort of fetich and it will have faith. In Illinois the democratic party has about as much chance of victory as the mass of its members have for salvation This is a Republican state. There are as yet too few thousands of voters in city slums here, too many sohool- houses, too many men who can think, for it to be otherwise. It will give next fall its usual Republican majority. Were there some great side issue in­ volved the situation might be changed locally, but such hsue does not, exist. It is a square party fight which will be on, and if there has been a change since the last state election the Re­ publicans are the gainers. There are a great many disgusted Democrats in Illinois. As regards tho presidential election, concerning which the Democrats are now se confident, they simply do not reason. Cleveland was elected by the narrowest plurality in a single state. Ho was elected because a certain class of captious Republicans chose to vote for him as against Mr. Blaine, who had incurred their animosity. They did not desert their party permanent­ ly, and still march beneath its ban ners though always ib the rear. They will support a Republican candidate. They have not fouad what they foolishly hoped for In tho Cleveland adminis­ tration. They have seen partisans thrust Into the places of public ser­ vants against whom no complaint was made; they have seen the promised civil-service reform made but a mock­ ery; they have seen ill-advised ap­ pointments--and Chicago can afford several examples of this class--result in tho demoralization of tho public service; they have, in short, seen the spoils system carried out in every state. If there are hungry Democrats anywhere now it Is because there are more Democrats than offices Tho Republicans who Opposed Blaine recognize their blunder in an ticipating even a degree of reform from tho Democratic party. They realize that if abuses have grown up the party of intelligence and of pro­ gress is the only one to correct them, jand they are ready to aet. There are far more than eno igh of them to carry New York aud give the Republicans KDITOR Com­ mencement exercises of the High School took place last Thursday even­ ing as announced lafet week, but we can not say that they were a very gratifying success, or equal to those of thi preceding years. Two or three of the boys lest their reckoning and that lowered the standing of the#class as a whole. Neither do we mean to say that none were good, far from it; elev­ en of the fifteen acquitted themselves very creditably and taking only those into consideration the class would be if ally up to the standard. The floral offering* were profuse and of great variety and design. The Band dis­ coursed sweet music to the crowded house, and on the whole the exerelat s were very enjoyable and entertaining. BORN, to Mr. and Mrs. Chas. H. •Rice, a daughter. It was last Thurs­ day morning, the 7th, and that's what made Charlie so smiling. Shako and good luck to you and yours. Mr. Samuel Edwards died quite Suddenly Thursday night, June 7th. of Black Erysipelas. He was sick but two or three dsys. Tho funeral was held Saturday iorenoon at the house. The Races at the Fairgrounds Satur­ day, the 9th, did not prove the success that was hoped or expected. There seemed to be too much jockeying in the first two races to make It In any way interesting. If people pay their money to see speed In horses brought out, they expect to see it done, and not see horses almost walk in ou the home stretch. Such kind of raetng wont do, and if .kept up they will be without patronage. The last race was a good one, the horses were driven well and did good work, contesting closely every foot ot the mile for three heats. Tho seventeen-year Locust have made their appearance in some locali­ ties in great numbers. Grass, trees and shrubbery are covered with them. Soon there will be music in the land there being no organic disease, but simply a breaking tip of the system from old age.

Cleveland did not hesitate to call ofa Jto^g# Thurman .$0 help him In his hour of need, not­ withstanding that bo had positively refused to recognize Thurman in 1885, When making up nis cabinet, on the ground that Thurman was toe old.
