Grover Cleveland Ream-gent.
The probabilities that Grover Cleve-
land will be the Democratic nominee
for the Presidency grows with the days.
Governor Hill. by his premature anxi-
ety to secure delegates and pledges, has
irrevocably destroyed whatever chances
he may have had for the Democratic
nomination. Further than this, there
is a sort of suppressed feeling that,
while Hill is irresistible as a campaign-
cr. somehow it will not do to trust him
with the Presidency. Mr. Hill, there-
fore, as a candidate, is a remote possi-
bility, and that is all. That Grover
Cleveland has some elements of great-
ness about him is clearly proven by the
devotion of his friends to him in the
hours of his political adversity. Usu-
ally a defeated candidate is a “back
number,” but in Mr. Cleveland’s case,
as in that of Mr. Blaine’s, defeat has
not diminished the number of his
friends. Mr. Cleveland, however, is not
the great man that the Mugwumps
would have us believe that he is. There
have been several Presidents that have
far outranked him in statesmanship and
ability. Mr. Cleveland’s administra-
tion was conservative and respectable,
and it had very few difficulties to con-
tend with. The national railroad, so to
speak, had been built and was in run-
ning order when he took charge. The
questions of construction and finance
had all been settled by others, leaving
to Mr. Cleveland routine duties alone.
Mr. Cleveland’s judicial and diploma-
tic appointments were radical depart-
ures iiom the conventional. He :vio-
lated lllS avowed and well adver-
tised ideas of civil service reform by
taking from the ranks of practicing at-
torneys a Chief Justice. of the Supreme
Court, instead of promoting an experi-
enced associate justice of his own po~
litical faith. Chief Justice Fuller is an
able man, but we hardly see how the
corypheus of civil service reform could
, justify the appointment Of a man des-
titute of any judicial experience to the
headship of the greatest tribunal or. the
face of the globe. Mr. Cleveland
startled the world by some of his di‘
plomatic appointments, but the effect
faded away. His ambassador to Eng-
land was learned and‘ able, but his ofli—
cial career has established no land-
marks in diplomacy. His minister to
Italy, the unfortunate Kcilly, was a
staunch believer in the temporal sover-
eignty of the Pope, while his minister
to Catholic Spain was an obscure Pro-
testant clergymen. An exchange of
these appointees would have been satis-
factory, and a tactful man would not
have made such a slip. Mr. Cleveland,
however, is an honest man. and it is
' this quality which makeshim respected
notwithstanding his ingratitudc and
lack of tact. But the question suggests
itself: Can Mr. Cleveland be elected in
the event of his nomination? His ad-
mirers say “yes,” while others shake
their heads in doubt. Mr. Cleveland is
no stronger than he was four years ago,
Mr. Harrison is somewhat weaker.
Mr. Cleveland cannot carry New York,
and his treatment of the name and
memory of Thomas A. Hendricks has
won no new friends in Indiana. \Vith-
out these states a Democratic victory
is impossible. Any Democrat who hopes
to capture any of the sure Republican
”Western states is simply throwing a
lasso over a fog. As against Mr. Har-
rison. Mr. Cleveland cannot hope for
the soldier’s vote,—they have not for-
gotten his fishing excursion.
Still, notwithstanding all these objec-
tions, Mr. Cleveland will in all proba-
bility be the Democratic nominee for
the Presidency and he will carry every
state he carried in 1888, and possibly
Wisconsin, Indiana and Montana; this
with the votes in Michigan that the
‘ ‘ district system ” will give the Democ.
racy will still be fourteen votes short of
a majority of the electoral college.
Where shall we look for this necessary
balance? The prOSpects for Mr. Harri-
son’s re—election seem good but no bet-
ter than a month ago. Our Democratic
friends have hard sledding before them.
Mrs. Springler’s Elopement.
That the Indiana end of the Harrison
Presidential campaign has already be-
gun to sizzle is evidenced by the re-
markable circumstances surrounding
the clopement of Mrs. Springler, wife
of Mr. John Springler, of Bainbridge,
that State. It seems that Mrs. Spring—
ler tired of John and transferred her
affections to one .Arthur Dixon. She
didn’t make this transfer in the usual
clandestine manner, but Mr. Springler,
who, in addition to being the lawful
husband of Mrs. S., was the village
blacksmith, was apprised of her inten-
tion to elope with Dixon, and gave his
approval to the arrangement.
When the eventful night arrived the
. Springler household didn’t retire in the
usual manner, nor was it.unmindful of
the escapado which was about to take
place. There was no hurried bundling
up of a. few articles of wearing apparel
and a descent from the second-story
windOw on a rickety ladder into the
arms of the expectant Lothario. The
reasons for the absence of these
usual accompaniments to an elopement
were numerous. In the first place,
Mrs. Springler weighed over two hund-
red pounds and didn’t propose to in-
dulge in any of the stereotyped senti-
mentalism on a rickety ladder. In the
next place, she didn’t have to. John
was as willing as ever Barkis pretended
to be, and did all in his power to make
things agreeable and expeditious for
Mrs. Springler and her Arthur.
When the eventful moment arrived
Springler gathered up his reercant wife’s
valise and escorted her to the buggy,
which contained Artie Dixon, aged 75,
five, and into the vehicle he assisted
Mrs. Springler, weight 2-00. Artie
cracked the whip, the horse struck ofi‘
at a lively gait, and the loving pair
were soon fairly on their way to the di-
vorce court. But John Springler, de-
spite his heavy loss, had no tears to
shed. This particular village black-
smith didn’t stand around “under any 4 - ~
spreading chestnut trees and pour out
his wrongs. On the contrary. as soon
as he made sure that his SOD-pound
spouse was fairly Off with seventy-five-
year-old Arthur, he pulled off his hat,
swung it vigorously in the air, and at
top of his lungs shouted, “ III/rm]; for
Harrison .’ ” As the opening event of
the Indiana campaign, Blacksmith
Springlcr’s farewell. to his runaway
wife is not without significance.
Canadian Retaliation.
Just as President Harrison is carn-
estly urging upon Lord Salisbury's con-
sideration the advisability Of putting a
limit to Canadian seal-poching in Beh-
ring Sea a member of the Canadian
Parliament has introduced a bill which
may be regarded as being in some
measure retaliatory. It provides that
American tourists who visit the Sague-
nay, the Bestigouche, and other preva-
lent and precious Northern streams
when piscatorially inclined shall here-
after be pcrmitted to catch not more
than thirty speckled trout in one day.
Considered as a measure of retalia-
tion to offset the exclusion of Cana-
dians from Behring Sea. this bill} may
seem at first sight ridiculously inade~
quatc. But it will not appear in that
light to the multitudes of Americans
who regard Canada as the Sportsman’s
paradise and who each summer seek its
rock-bound and rapid rivers. It may
also seem at first view that thirty trout
a day is a very fair allowance. But no
one will be of this opinion who has lis-
tened to the marvelous tales which re-
turned fishermen Of undoubted veracity
have told in regard to the possibilities
and actualities of the angler’s art in
these prolific waters.
If certain picturesque and definite,
though startling, fish stories can be
relied on, no self-respecting American
sportsman would want to be seen be-
side a Canadian stream with a string-so
despicably small as thirty trout, and in
this fact lies the dire significance of
the bill. It is in effect iprohibitory so
far as American sportsmen are con-
cerned, because it will put an end to
all great and daring piscatorial feats,
and will throw a dark pall of improba-
bility and doubt over the radiant and
variegated narratives in the relation of
which returned fishermen areknown to
take unceasing delight.
A still more' serious question to us,
locally,is as to what is to become of the
largely organized ahd capitalized “Con-
necticut and Canadian Piscatorial
Club,” that at great cost and time and
money has so largely invested in Cana-
dian trout preserves ? Senator Platt
and large numbers 0f prominent citi‘
zone of our state, several of whom re-
side in Bridgeport are'of this club, and
it will be well that they bestir them-
selves as the trout season is now imme
diately upon us. Why not send back to
Quebec Bridgeport’s ex-Consul, Theo-
dore Downs, as Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister Plenipotentiary to settle
this threatened retaliation.
Salisbury’s Surrender.
Lord Salisbury’s last note is accepted
by the Administration as a concession
of the American demand in almost ev-
ery essential particular. It is as com-
plete a surrender as it is possible to
make in a diplomatic point of view, and
the result is hailed by everybody in
Washington, as a splendid victory for
the Administration, says the Recorder.
‘There are some minor details to be
arranged in the settlement of the ques-
tion, but the administration is in pos-
session of information to the’efl'ect that
there will be no difficulty in the way of
an amicable agreement on every point,
provided Lord Salisbury is not driven
into too humiliating a position, which
of course there is no desire to do on our
part.
The country is to be congratulated on
this latest triumph of American diplo-
macy. President Harrison nobly up-
held the honor and the dignity of the
country and will have the thanks of
every loyal American.
Klng’s Daughters.
For the benefit of per-only who do
not seem to know the difl'erence,we take
pleasure in stating that in the Episcopal
Church there is an organization known
as the “Daughter’s of the King.” In
the other Evangelical Churches they
are known as the “King’s Daughters.”
