THE STATE SURE. THERE ARE NINE Democratic parties in this city, and each is labor- ing arduously to kill all the others. Then as to na- tional and state issues there is a Cleveland Dem- ocratic and a Hill Demo- cratic party. Then there are the professional mug- wumps and Charles A. Dana, With this Demo- cratic confusion reigning, has anybody any doubt that the state will go for + Harrison and Morton? THE KNIFE OF BRUTUS. . CLEVELAND has shown his opposition to the mugwump idea of civil-service reform as far as he dare, and if he were to be re-clected there wouldn't be a Republican or a mugwumpp left in fed- eral office. The JuDGE says he is right, and would be more so if he were open and frank in his action, But he has provoked the enmity of the mug- wumps, and there is reason to believe that they want to beat him by beating Governor Hill. That is a little point in this campaign that has escaped general observation. NOW LET THE BATTLE PROCEED. (AARL SCHURZ sends a five-column message from Germany to state that he will vote for Cleveland if he gets here ; that he hates to do it, but that he will do it if it destroys his entire conscience. There have been few funnier utterances than this long proclamation of Carl Schurz. Good gracious! suppose he had forgotten to issue it?

THERE Is A CLAIM that the governor will have 20,000 more votes than the president in this state, and a number of Democrats are willing to bet on it. Let us alter the stereotyped line in the Democratic press a little “Do not bet; if you do you will lose your presi- dent votes,” TOO LATE—TOO LATE! THE DEMOCRATS would like to capture Canada before election in order to balance the loss of New York, Jerse but it is too late, and be- sides there is an impres- sion among the Canadians who do not understand the situation that the retaliation message was a genuine document. ‘They are very slow, those Canadians. ‘They never know where they are going till they happen to get the AGAIN. NOW THAT Cart Schurz has pronounced for Democracy perhaps something of that kind may be expected from Governor Hill, cause the Dutch cannot take Holland too : Be- ly of too often. E theory that the more numerous the Democratic parties y the truer the Democratic vote will be for Cleveland and Hill; but how it runs against fact and common sense and knocks its little brains out. THE PROPOSITION to buy Canada and assume her debt of $300. 000,000 is very reasonable. With C ours a half-million men in places of trust would behave themselves, having no convenient place to hide themselves and their stolen money in, hy) THAT NIGHT.
