Morehouse managers claim & majority of the 105 for Morehouse and Glover men a majority for Glo- ver. Should these two factions get into a squabble the chances are that the 44 Francis delegates could step in and with Glover delegates come to some terms in making up the state delegates. The Francis men are alive and ready for business and will make the situation count for all there is in it. It seems that Glover is second choice of most, if not all the Francis men, and many of the Glover men machine Saturday, and now the grain must begin to roll. What's the matter with that young man who goes to see his girl twice a week and stays all day on Sunday? Why, he’s all right.

Trves:—In a recent issue of the Record the following appears: “The young democrats have or- ganized a Thurman club in our city. The omission of the name which adorns the head of the democratic ticket appears to have no charms for them. Can it be that they are asham- ed of Cleveland?” The Thurman club adopted the name of one of the democratic stand- ard bearers instead of both to dis- tinguish it from the older organiza- tion, the Cleveland-Thurman Club. Not only the members of this club, but no American citizen has any reason to be ashamed of Grover Cleveland, as is suggested in the above article. Weare proud to be humble followers of the cnly presi- dent in twenty-four years who has considered a public office a public trust. We are for Cleveland because he has made the best president, all things considered, we have ever had, and has not been afraid, as have so many of our public men, to do what he thought to be right, regardless of what his enemies might say or do. We are for him because he is the friend of the American people, of the laboring man; and is opposed to the policy of importing Chinese pauper labor to compete with and bring down the wages of the laboring men of this country, which policy Ah Ben sanctioned by his 14 votes in the Senate. We are for him because he is the friend of the soldier, and has stood between him and the pen- sion thieves who have endeavored to obtain, by fraud, the pensions set aside by a grateful people for the worthy soldier, his widow or orphan. He is the only president who has had the courage to veto these great log-rolling pension steals—attempts made under guise of friendship to the soldier to rob him of the pen- sion rightfully his. If our humble support can, in the slightest degree, aid in the re-election of the man who is not afraid to express his honest convictions, and when he has so ex- pressed them to stand firm in the face of all opposition, we will be content.
