Bensamin F. Better, who is the great unknown quantity in the present campaign, isa man of versatility. vast resources and boundless He is going into this canvass to win if he can, and to make it red hot all round whether or no. With this end in view, he emulates St. Paul in being every- thing to every man, that he may by all means gain some.

Deserters are not usually counted very valuable soldiers, even by the army that gains them. There is no trusting them. Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus, isan old axiom, both in common sense. Well, they are common law and A “HERALD” ARGUMENT. Tue Herald, which has espoused Cleve- land’s cause with a vim which it has not shown for a long time on any subject save war maps, is naturally restless and anxious over Butler's candidacy. It foresees, though it does not admit, that the Widow will cost the Democratic figurehead many a vote which he can ill spare, Thereupon, the object was to show the workingmen that they should not vote for Butler-—-but how? The It found the reasons—not on the surface, where ordi- nary beings would seck for them, but deep s whence Herald editorial writers occasionally drag Herald was not long at a loss. down in the rece sentence or a statement at which the world stands aghast. ‘Do not vote for Butler,” rary says in effect to the w our contempo- rkingmen, * be- cause that will prolong the election, ‘Till a President is elected you cannot get any em- ployment. A Presidential clection is ouly Therefore, get this election over and go to work again.” one degree better than a war, All this and much more does the incom- parable logician of the Herald ottice urg upon the workingmen. He does not pause to oxplain how they are to get the election over sooner than November, nor how they are to delay it after that date, no matter what they may do. Neither does he give reasons for his statement that people do not work and | he may be nominated some ‘The Italians make | aspecialty of it, and some of them grow | | there nd eat, make money and spend it, live and die, marry and give in marriage, while an election is pending. Hesimply says, “« Vote for Cleveland, and that will hurry things up.” But most people, themselves included, are disposed to think that the workingmen would rather accept any amount of delay, rather than have Cleveland for their President. next THE DEMOCRATIC SAMSON. Tue Jupor, in this article, is forced to speak of Cleveland as a Samson shorn of his strength, in deference to the character in which our artist has seen fit to represent him; but we are far from believing that the illustrious Grover was ever the man to astonish the world by feats of power, men- tal, physical, or political. Perhaps, how- ever, our artist designed to draw a different allegory from the Samsonian Cleveland. The picture look is am- bition which may not be impaired by undue ling to carnal passion. Cleveland prob- ably realizes as much by this time to quite full an extent as did Mark Anthony, or any of the historical person- as if he designed to show that no position, no power, no vie as Samson, ages who were dragged down from eminen | into death’s shadow by woman’s soft and pliant hands. When his fellow countrymen have supplied Grover Cleveland with a lit- tle leisure, by electing him to stay at home, would recommend to the Proverbs of Solomon as appropriate and salutary readin; we his notice THE ARCTIC HORROR.
