The Stab is the only New York newspaper possessing the fullest confidence of the Na¬ tional Administration and the United Dem¬ ocracy of New York, the political battle ground Jeffersonian of the Republic. Democracy, pure and simple, is good enough for the Stab. Single hand¬ ed among the metropolitan press, it has stood by the men called by the great Democ¬ racy to redeem the government from twenty-five years of Republican wastefulness and corruption and despotism to the South. 'For these four years past ithasbeenunswerv ing in its fidelity the administration of Grov¬ er Cleveland. It is for him now—forCleve- land and Thurman—for four years more of Democratic hones ty in onr national affairs, and of continued national tranquility and prosperity. For people who like that sort of Democracy he Stab is the paper to road. The Stab stands squarely on the National Democratic platform. It believes that any tribute exacted from the people in excess of the demands of a government economically administered is cseantially oppressive and dishonest. The scheme fostered and cham¬ pioned by the Republican part-of making the government a miser, wringing millions an nually from the people and locking them up in vaults to serve no purpose but invite waste fulness and dishonesty, it regards as a mon¬ strous crime against the right of American citizenship. Republican political jugglers may call it ‘'protective taxation;” the Stab’s name for it is robbery. Through and through the St Ait is a great newspaper. Its toDC is i ure and wholesome, its news service unexceptionable. Each issue presents an epitome of what is best worth knowing of the world’s history of yesterday. Its stories are told in good, quick, pictur- eque Edglish, and mighty interesting read¬ ing they are. The 8unda v Stab is as good as the best class magazine, and prints about the same amount of matter. Besides the day’s news it is rich in spesial descriptive articles, sto ries, snatches of cur Pent literature, reviews, art criticism, etc. Burdette’s inimatible hu¬ mor sparkles in its columns; Will Carlcton’s delightful letters are of its choice offerings. Many of the best known men and women in literature and art are represented in its col nmns, The Weekly Stab is a large paper giving the cream of the news the w irld over, with special features which make it the mos complete family newspaper published. The farmer, the mechanic, the business man too much occupied to read a daily paper, will get more for ,his dollar invested in Thk Weekly Stab thau from any other paper It will be especially alert during the cam paign, and will print the freshest and most reliable political news.

The Seeds of the Whirlwind That De¬ feated Mr. Blaine In IPs I’resi. dentlal Aspirations. New York, Sept. 1.—“Roscoe Conkling, were he living, would, I believe, stump Ur* State for Clcveland.and Thurman,” The author of this startling assertion was Myron Bangs, a well-kown citizen of Fnyeitesvilie, this State, and a life-long and most intim¬ ate friend of Roscoe Doubling. “I knew Mr. Conkling intimately,'’ he ad¬ ded. “He talked to me freely on political subjects. I know he depised Mr. Blaine, and that he entertained a high respect for Mr. Cleveland. In (he summer of 1886, Mr. Conkling one day invited me to a codfish tongue dinner at John Chamberlain’s Carle- ton Club. During the dinner our conversa¬ tion turned on politics. At laH Folgei’s name was mentioned. Mr. Conkling’s eyes flashed, his whole lorm seemed to dilate, and with more passion in his voice than I had ever before observed, be said: ‘The Folger incident is one of the blackest pages of foul treachery. James G. Blaine, in that cam¬ paign—of 18Sr—knifed the Republican party because of a personal quarrel with President Arthur. In that campaign, Blaine sowed the seeds of the whirlwind that defeated him in is: ’. Folger was one of the most upright men that ever graced American politics. Ho was, moreover, a very sensitive man. Blaine’s treachery killed him. Mr. Blaine is as direct- Jy responsible for the death of Folger as though lie had run him through with a knife.’ “Mr. Conkling here paused, overcome with emotion. When he recovered himself, he continued: ‘It is here generally believed that I withheld my support from Mr. Blaine in 1884 for reasons of personal animosity. This is nottiuc. Wlnitever my personal feelings might have been, my loyalty to the Republi¬ can party would have caused me to support my party, had I believed it to be for its best interests. Mr. Biaine I knew to be a traitor to bis party. I knew him to be a corrupt man, the tool of rings, and that, if made President, he would bo sure t* get tho coun¬ try in trouble. Consequently I could not ad¬ vise my friends to support him, ’ “I asked him his opinion of Cleveland, and he said: ‘Mr. Cleveland is making an excel¬ lent Tresident. He is proving himself an able, honest, fearless man. He seems to place his idea of duty high above political ad¬ vantage, He will go down in history as one of our great Presidents. His grasp of nation¬ al affairs suiprlses me. Had I not witness¬ ed it, I would not have believed that any man whose practical knowledge of Government was gained in a brief term; as Governor of this State could so readily have mastered the science of Government • “Shortly after this conversation I went to Washington in company with Mr. Conking and Colonel and Mrs. Robert G. Ingersoll and Judge Loclirane, of Georgia. While at the capital, I called on the President in the com¬ pany of Judge Lochrane. la the course of our conversation with Cleveland, I mention¬ ed to him that Mr. Conkling was in our par¬ ty. Mr. Cleveland expressed the highest respect and admiration for Mr. Conkling, remarking that Oneida and Onondago coun¬ ties, Mr. Conkling’s stronghold, had held the balance of power m New York State in I88L He signitiedjhis desire to fees Mr. -Conkling, tnd requested me to bring him to the White House. I tried to persuade him to pay the desired visit, but in vain. He said: “If I visitthe president people will say that I have some favor to ask, some ax to grind. I do? feated Blaine in 1884 and closed his politi¬ cal career, The president knows tbit. That is all the satisfaction I ask.” The ltoad Healhward Made Easier.
