That may have been evidence of Brother Flower’s greatness, but we beg to advise him, with frantic haste, not to try it on now, ALL IS PEACE, HE RUSSIAN WAR-SHIP goes through the Dardanelles as a joke, and the crews of British gun-boats take possession of forbidden ground merely to have a picnic. These are the flowers that grow over the garden-wall of war, the harmless and pleasing shrubs and grasses that hide the Quaker battery. How peaceful and beautiful they are! WILLIAM RECONSIDERS. T IS UNDERSTOOD that Mr. William C. Dewitt of Brooklyn will give his ardent ‘support to the gentleman whom he casually men- tions as a flamboyant millionaire and likewise a deceptive jackass; for notwithstanding his ferocity Mr. Dewitt is real good-hearted, and after all not so particular about his candidates. What Mr. Dewitt wants, in other words, is principles—not men, STRAYED OR STOLEN? ‘THE SARATOGA PLATFORM has much to say of Hill, but it has not a word regarding the fiery man of Binghamton or the sage of Buzzard’s bay. ‘These omissions bespeak either ingratitude or forgetful ness, and the Democratic party claims a superior memory. The sudden departure of Madame Diss Debar was not more startling than was the sudden disappearance of Jones and Cleveland. Have we a gulf of dark despair among us? GERMAN MUSIC AND FRENCH POLITICS. AGNER having succeeded in Paris, the Germans have won a great victory. It would have been of more profit to them, however, if Wagner had failed. That would have been the triumph of the mob, and that generally means the kill~ ing of scores of Frenchmen. Noth- ing pleases Frenchmen more than to kill each other in times of excite- ment, and most of the slaughter is to the detriment of the French army. Why, however, should Ital- ian opera prevail in Paris? Next F to German genius a Frenchman hates Italian genius. -A PENITENT DESERTER. 5 [SAAC L. CATLIN says he was a Republican thirty years. He says it by way of defense of his action, perhaps, as a Democrat for four years. He-wants it understood, does he, that he hasn't always been that kind of man—he has seen better di And really we are half inclined to sympathize with his defense, for he exercises his eloquence in cursing his new associates. He says in effect that they are the blankest, blankest frauds he ever did business with, and he is as much ashamed of them as he is of himself. But he had better be cautious, He may presently get himself hanged as a spy. JOHN W. VROOMAN. Me. HEEHAN is repudiated by the Buffalo Enguérer and the better Buffalo Democrats for his ruffianism in the management of the local part of the Democratic machine. Governor Hill deemed it unsafe for him to run because of his denial to the clergymen of his own church of the right of petition to the assembly. In opposition to him is John W. Vroo- man of Herkimer, who as clerk of both the assembly and the senate has made for himself a most enviable reputation; for whom the grand army will vote almost to a man, and who is undoubtedly as popular and de- serving a gentleman as there is in this state. There are thousands of Cleveland Democrats outside of Erie county who will not vote for Mr. Sheehan. There is no Republican who will not vote for Mr. Vrooman. We predict Mr. Vrooman’s election, and we believe he will run ahead of his ticket at least ten thousand votes, comicbooks.com
