In this way it was shown unmistak ablv to the Convention that the low tariff men from the South and West I and the high tariff men from the Eastern and Middle States were of one accord, and that there was no sulking anywhere. This made an excellent impression. It was a por tent of victory in Congress and be fore the countrv. Yet Thurman is a platform in him self. There is no need to tell the people who and what he is. No Democratic name is more familiar rp viurahlt Enthusiasm counts. too, in politics, and it is not unlikely i that the popular inspiration win prove wiser than the calculations of politicians. It is unquestionable that the nomination of Thurman will strengthen the- party in New York, and will not weaken it any where. Indiana, however, is" not as safe with Thurman as it would have been with ft ray. All in all. the National Democrat ic Convention of 1888 will be a mem orable body. It' nominated Mr. Cleveland by acclamation, gave him as associate u noble, representative of American learning, statesmanship and patriotism, planted the Demo cratic foot squarely on the neck of taxation, reaffirmed the demand for tariff reform, and united the party as it had not been united in the pres ent generation. This is enough for the narty and the country, wise anil tmlv , llumors run riot in the blodHt this season. Hood's Sarsaparilla expels every impurity and vitalizes and enriches the blood.

There is 110 further appeal for the case, ami Executive clemency is all that can be hoped for by the doomed man's friends. Popular feeling is luueh opposed to Executive clemency. Some one with more time and pa tience than usual has found out that the Prince of Wales has seventeen brothers-in-law, sixteen uncles, fifty-seven cousins ami fifty-eight nephews and nieces.
