DEAR Gazarrn :—“The great transac— tion’s done,” and President Cleveland’s ratification convention at St. Louis, is now a thing of the past. All the interest felt here among the party leaders, in the mon- ster conclave, centred in the platform and second place on the ticket. " Despite Mr. Cleveland’s loud sounding protests uttered three years ago, against a second term, every one knew that he has his party in a vise and would hold it to his rcnomination with relentless certainty. There is a poli, tic justice in placing the “Old Roman" on the tail of the ticket, for it is Well known that Thurman is so far Mr. Cleveland’s superior in every quality of genuine states- manship and manhood, that he is not the kind of man of the President’s liking. Thurman will no doubt buoy up the heavy ticket in certain quarters, but not in those four pivotal states of Indiana, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, States abso- lutely essential to success. Judge Gray and Gen. Black Were fierce and eager can- didates for the second place, but both were handicapped by the fact that they had, in years past, been enthusiastic re- publicans. A sense of fancied neglect of their great importance by republicans had led them as so many other disgruntled ones, into the sulks of mugwumpery and finally clean over into the democratic ranks, where presumably they conjectured the pastures would be greener and the fodder more succulent. Gray made a vigor- ous fight for the coveted honor, but was waved aside, by the soiled and snuff Satu- rated rcd “bandanna” of Thurman. ”Mental, moral and physical wreck” Biacu, went down in the first fusilade of the fight. His few and over zealous champions, (confined principally to his official subordinates in the pension ofiice, who were upholding the Cleveland plan of civil service reform, with “pernicious activity”)—should have better understood that “no soldier need apply" at that con—- vcntion, however. subservient a tool of _ democracy he was willing to be. All around and about Congress, it may he said that both the nominations and the limping platform, fell flat, however wild the yells and screechings at St. Louis. The platform is a subject of derision by even democrats. From the foundation of the government there never has been so great and universal a removal of the big and little government officials as under this outrageously hypocritial administra~ tion and every public man knows it, yet the platform sings the siren song of “civil service reform,” having been carried out by Cleveland. Scan this sadly twisted specimen plank :— “In everybranch and department of the government under democratic control, the rights and the welfare of all the people have been guarded and defended ; every public interest has been protected and the equality of all our citizens before the law, without regard to race or color, has been steadfastly maintained.” Then recall the fact that from Washing. ton down to Cleveland the latter has vetoed more bills, passed by both houses of Con— gress, four fold over, that all the vetoes of all the other presidents together. Re— member too, that in the one department of the post office, by the testimony of democrats themselves publicly uttered in Congress, there never has, since the form- ation of the government, been such an ut- terly dcmoralized and disgraceful condi- tion of the mail service, as under this ad- ministratiOn and all the people know it. Next,_rcmember that within sixty days free American citizens with a constitution- al right to vote, havc'bccn driven from the polls in Louisiana,by shot guns and Win- chester rifles for no other reason than that their skins were black and_they were sus— pected of wanting to vote the republican ticket. The above are facts, cruel, but contested facts, known and read of all men. . Here is another unique specimen plank thrown out for hitherto deluded working— men, to be captured and floated to the polls upon with democratic tickets in their hands :— , “The revision of our tax laws, contem— plated by the democratic party, is to pro— mote the advantage of labor 1131211393366” 1931119999595lerlifii‘g'ifian." Which means, if it means anything, that the. laboring man of America shall have his wages cut down to the starvation standards prevailing in the old world, so that he may purchase his food and cloth— ing at the lbw prices prevailing there. The Irisliman's confession as to his high priced potatoes is the best answer to‘this. Said Pat, “Sure I could a bushel of pota— toes in the cold country for Sixpence, that I’m charged a dollar for here, but the truth of it is, here I can get the dollar and there I can’t get the sixpence, to buy ’em wid.” But there will be ample time for this sort of elucidation ere November. Suffice it now to say, that the republican party, whoever its candidates to be selected next year, may be, has now a living and a vital principle to fight for in this campaign, as it had in its battle for the preservation of the union and abolition of slavery, and un- less all the signs of the times fail, it will this fall, “in a grand and glorious war: time Victory. ’ onuoox. All conclude that the unexpected] y large and overwhelming victory in Oregon is to be directly traced to the President’s free trade Message and the Mills Tariff Reduc- tion Bill. It is the first gun in the protec- tion and anti-protectibn contest of 1888. While the committee on Platform, at St. Louis essayed the same tariff straddle of 1884, the convention was stronger than the more subtle committee and enthusiastical- ly endorsed both the Cleveland Message and the Mills Bill, and now the party must _ face their own free trade issue without their aforetime chance of dodging. The day folloWing the Oregon election a protection democrat received the follow— ing telegram dated at Portland :— “Oregon all gone to h—l. Result of the d—d Mills Bill.” He handed the telegram to Mills, who on reading it, is reported to have turned livid with chagrin. Unlimited mouey§had been sent out their from the east, to secure the Legislature, so that a democrat should be returned in place of Dolph to the U. S. Senate and thus secure a majority in that body. Less than twenty-four hours pre— vious, the member of the National Com— mittee from Oregon had publicly boasted at St. Louis that they had concentrated all their energies to securing the Legisla— t'ure 1nd a democratic U. S. Senator was certain to crown their victory there I How the “best laid schemes 0’ mice and men” do go astray. Oregon is only a fore- cast of what is sure to happen all along the line, when the workingmen and masses of this country awaken to their danger, as they surely will. . runsoxan. Senator Platt, who is still a good deal under the weather, has taken advantage of the Convention lull and joined his son and gone up to his Canada trout—fishing preserve, for a short period of rest and re; cuperation. .Mrs. Platt remains here. “Al" Relyca has not yet returned from ‘ Texas. » Mrs. Geo. H. Barnum is visiting her brother here, Treasurer Hyatt. John E. Earle, the famous New Haven patent solicitor, was here last week, as was John 11. Leeds, Esq. The GAZETTE beat the record by arriving here early last Wednesday morning. But a letter mailed at Norwalk and plainly ad- dressed to Washington, was four days he hind and bore the New Canaan'stamp of “misscnt and forwarded.” Master John Hyatt, son of the Treasur- er. contemplates going to the Chicago Convention, and expects to meet 0. E. Wilson there. Both are to be congratula- ted that they have natural instincts above the St. Louis crowd. . Senator Platt has managed to secure the retention of $150,000 for Bridgeport’s public building, $100,000 for Waterbury, and the same for new London. Mrs. Geo. 11. Edwards and child left here last week fora summer’s sojourn at Darien. _ _ _ The President has approved the act of Congress providing that pensions hereto- fore or hereafter granted to widows of soldiers of the war of the rebellion shall begin at the date of the death of their hus- bands. , Geo.

The house committee on post offices has ordered a favorable report on the bill to provide a general law for the erection of post office buildings. It provides for the appointment in the post oflicc department of an architect and superintendent of con- struction at ii. salary ’of $4,000 . per year, who shall with the assistance of the super- vising architect of the treasury, prepare designs for post office buildings. The dc- signs shall be devised so that additions to the buildings maybe made without injury to the harmony of the design or the use—- fulness of the constructed portion. The postmaster general is authorized in his discretion to construct post office build- ings at any place at which the gross pos- tal receipts for two years or more shall have exceeded $3,000 in each year. At any place where the post office receipts for each of the two proceeding years have been less than $25,000 the cost of the building shall not exceed $20,000, and where the receipts have been less than $20,000 the building'shall not. cost more than $15,000. No building erected'under (the act shall exceed in cost $25,000. All contracts for construction of buildings and material and fixtures to be used there- in shall bc let to the lowest bidder after at least three week’s public advertisement. The postmaster general is authorized in his discretion to accept donations of sites for post offices in towns in which it is pro- posed to erectbuildmgs, and also to accept contributions to aid in the purchase of grounds for the construction of the build— ings. He is also authorized to purchase sites when necessary at a cost not exceed— ing $5,000. The sum of $2,000,000 is ap— propriated to be available during the cur— rent year to carry out the purpose of the bill. The number of towns that would be entitled to post office buildings under the provisions of thebill is placed at 1,500 and it is estimated that $25,000,000 would be required to supply them all with buildings. The project in its general features has al- ready received the favorable indorsment of the subcommittee. The annual receipts of our borough post office amount to about $10,900, so if this bill becomes a law, we should be en-E titled to quite a pretentious public build— ing. 09—— Patrick Ford’s Plea. , Mr. Patrick Ford employs four columns over his own signature, in the Irish World, to declare 'lllS sentiments in favor of James G. Blaine as the Republican candidate for President. After rehearsing the situation he goes on to say : . “And now ’88 is come, and the time for the meeting of the nominating Convention is but a matter of a few days, and lo! Blaine has resigned his leadership, for the second time, and let fall his standard into the hands of a many-headed but headless party. I am now at sea in a fog, and in the same boat with me are a good many others. Here and there, to give heart to the despoudcnt, the cry is heard that ‘the Republicans can win 'with any man,’ and there are some who add, ‘Yes, and Blaine’s retirement will give a chance to the Mug— wumps to come back and help unite the- party,’ ii Mr. Ford ridicules. this. andcontinuen - “That Blaine is beyond all com parisou the strongest man—the one man who can bring the party to assured victory—no well-informed and disinterested person can doubt in his heart. And the reasons are apparent to all who will open their eyes and sec.” —.———-—¢oo—-—————— “The Madonna at the Tub,” of whom LIISS'PlJB-IDL w"~v°i—wnv'u”§e"ii— ..-. men of. health and strength.

To prepare coffee you must take the green seed, using your judgment to make sure that it is new. You must then roast it in a rotary cylinder, or even in a small frying pan, over a charcoal fire. It will change its color from light sage green to dark brown, and will at the same time begin to sweat. Drops of brown oil will stand out upon it and will give out an un- mistakable aroma. This aroma consists of a delicate essential oil, so volatile in ils nature that coffee roasted the day before yesterday—not to say coffee which had been roasted and ground and kept in tin— foil for a month—has no more left of its virtue than a rose a week cut. The seed thus prepared should stain your fingers or leave a perceptible greasy brown trace on white blottingpaper. From this pomt all is easy. Break your seed, for the kernel of the nut is always the sweatest. Tie the fragments in muslin. Then, if you are an epicure, pour a small quantity of actually boiling water upon a large allowance of them. But you can get admirable coffee for a large number of guests if you boil the muslin bagjfor a minute and a half or two minutes, and not longer. Coffee is an infusion, and not a decoctiou. Coffee thus prepared is a beverage within the reach of every man who will make it or see it made for himself; and, it can be made by any woman who condescends to be taught. .1-..“ch —— COO—~— ». ‘The English Use for an Irishman. Let every Irishman who cares to know what the English politicians think of him as his snbserviency to the democratic party in this country, read the following from the London Times: “The only—time England can use a‘ Hell is! when he migrates to America and notes for flee-trade, which he invariably does.” Having ruined Ireland by free-trade, the English would be glad to do the same thing with the United States, and the joy with which they see Americanized Irish— men voting in favor of democratic free-- trade can easily be imagined. —-—-‘§>—'—-— Advice to Mothers. -Mrs. Winslow’sSoothing Syrup, for children teething; is the prescription of one of the best Lfemalc nurses and phy- sicians in the United States, and has been used for forty years with never—failing success by millions of mothers for their children.

The two presidents who, before Cleve— land, were iionorcd by their paities with a unanimous rcnomiuation by acclamation were Jackson and Grant. Lincoln came 'vci'y' near it, but the Miss )Ul‘l delegates in that convention felt compelled by in— structions to cast their votes for Grant. The unparalleled success of the Repub— lican ticket in Oregon was the “first gun” and the key—note of the victory that will attend the national Republican ticket in November. Our friends,the enemy, have an opportunity to note the result of the simple agitation of the question of put— ting timber aud wool on the free list. The tariff is indeed a “local issue" and the special locality in which free trade will be repudiated is the United Statcs. ————-———<+>— The campaign poets continue to turn up. One of the convention correspond— ents reports that Thursday morning the hawkers of red bandannas and other Democratic bric-a—brac made the streets of St. Louis vocal with this inspiring rc— fraiu :— . “Cleveland and Thurman, They will go in a-Squirmin’.” . ‘Not to be outdone, the Piudar of the New York Herald twangs the lyre thus :— “The famous old bandanna, Is sure to carry Indiana.” And the lyric lists are still open to all comers. ——————4—O-> Ex-Goveruor St. John, candidate of the Prohibitionists in 1884, believes that their best year is coming in 1892.

In this declaration, the whole elaborate reasoning of President Cleveland’s mes- sage against any reduction of the internal revenue is pitched overboard, we trust with his full consent. Free wool and free raw materials of all sorts are flung into the waste basket, where the old platform ofatariif for revenue only has so long hecn‘resting in innocuous desuetude.— New York Sun, Dem. Where is the missing civil service re— form plank ?—New York World, Deni. For well informed and candid readers, of course, the platform is not intended. Its sole object is ' to fill the minds and mouths of those who are not well informed, and to serve as steering-orders, so to speak, for the campaigners who are not candid. ~Neio York Tribune, Rep. , Where the Democratic platform isn’t utterly vague, it is ludicrously hypocritical and inconsistent.

Andzso they indorse the President’s early fidelity and more re- ccnt lack of fidelity to that reform.— Springfield Republican, Mug. It is idle to call the Democratic tariff plank a compromise.

Now, if free trade, or low tariff, or tariff for revenue only, or whatever you call it, is such an unmitigated good thing for the country and the American people, will some logician please explain Why each Democrat in Congress and each Democrat at their national convention is'so strangely anxious that somebody also shall enjoy its blessings, but that he and his consti— tuents may continue to groan and sweat under the “burdens” of protection ?—New Haven Palladium, Rep. , . As it is now the party is distinctly pledged to the furtherance of tariff reform, and such tariff reform as the President outlived. No other meaning can be tor- tured out of the platform.— New Haven Nana, Ind. In respect of its contents, the St. Louis platform evinces the benefit resulting from the watchful cliastening which wevhavc continuously bestowed ‘ upon the free traders of all ranks in Congress and out.

Oui' readers have doubtless noticed the numerous discussions by the scientists and hygienists as to the relative value of the various baking powders. A careful sifting of the evidence leaves no doubts as to the superiority of the Royal Baking Powder in purity, whol’csomeness and strength, from a scientific standpoint. An opinion, however, that will weigh heavier than any other with our praticaL house — keepers, is that given by Marion Harland, the best known and most popular Amer-- ican writers upon matters pertaining to the science of domestic economy, of house- keeping, and home cooking. In a recent letter to the Philadelphia Ladies’ Home Journal, this writer says: “Iregard the Royal Baking Powder as the best manufactured and in the market, so far as I have any experience in the use of such compounds. Since the introduc— tion of it in my kitchen, three years ago, I have used no other in making biscuits. cakes, etc., and have entirely discarded for such purposes the home-made combi— nation of one-third soda, two-thirds cream of tartar. “Every box has been in perfect con~ dition when it came into my hands, and the contents have given complete satis - faction. ' It is an act of simple justice, and also a pleasure, to recommend it uh— qualifiedly to American housewives.” Maroon HARLAND. “Brooklyn, N. Y., Nov. 80, 1787."

INCREASE YOUR PENSION. Many pensioners borne on the rolls are entitled to a much higher rate of pension than they now receive. In a great majority of cases in which pension was granted for disease, the pensioner is entitled to an increase of rate. and in most cases where it was granted for wounds or injuries the disability increases each year. As time passes the disability of all classes naturally increases. Many were at first rated too low. and it often occurs that (pensioners are unjustly or erroneously re- duce by examining surgeons. A pensioner is entitled to Increase on a disability not set forth- in his original declaration. The pension laws are more liberal than formerly, and better rating can be had for many disabilities. I make a specialty of Neglected-and Redacted Claims, and if you will present me with a brief statement of your case, stating by whom it'was presented, I will obtain a rehearlng of your case, and, if it has merit. will procure \a favorable settlement.
