ley Foster, who was tne highest

Foxball was the best race horse this coun

men are of the eauie opinion. Last y*ar
at Ascott I witnessed the race for the gold
cup won by Tristam, beating Iroquois,
whom everybody admired, but whose ina-
b lily to carry weight every body lamented.
I also witnessed the victory of Barcaldine
in tlte Northumberland plate. He carried
136 pounds, and beat easily such a good
hort>e as Shrewsbury, to whom be g*ve
seventeen pound*, atul whom Mr, Jardiiic
selected from all his othercracks. Barca!-
dine could take up any weight and go any
distance Isonomy took the Manchester cup
with 138 pounds, and Robert the Devil, ns
a tin ee-year old took the Cesarewitch with
118 pounds. This superiority in cariving
weight is the main reason why the Eng
lish are not afraid of ns. Old Checkmate s
performance the other day with
wound-, up was the best race of the
Bourke Cochran’s plating with 172 shows
what a really good horse can do. The
Brighton Beach cracks make good sport
only when they bave been let in lightly by

A New Phase of the Canvass.
New York Sun.
The roost interesting political novelty at
present is the suddenly increased aggres
siveness on tbe part of our friends the
tariff reformers of last winter. They have
lately risen Into much grea tr prominence
in tlte canvass, and have begun to discuss
their chcrhhed idea of revolutionizing the
tariff with a freedom and determination
which but a short while ago was conspicu
ously lac vine.
Not ouly the journals that were influen
Uni in putting Mr. Carlisle, Mr. Morrison
and their nllies in control of the House of
Representatives at the last session of Con
gress. and that clamored for a tariff for
revenue only, but the Democratic stump
speakers of free trade tendencies are rv-
wrting to their f.tvor’tte tonic and taking
units defense with live evident satisfaction
of men who begin to plead a cause in
which their entire sympathies are engaged
which they regard as of paramount im>
portance. a^d lor which they would even
b* willing to sacrifice the temporary sue
cess of Site party.

otts, and the air was full of conoid*'io
between the opposing (actions. Their
struggles w-re over, the two ideas on the
subject of revenue w» re to bo laid aside for
a time, ami they we*e all to go to work
with tlte single purpose of electing Growr
Cl*-veland President
Now, however, there Is a decided wrangle
again over the qnc-riion rtf the tariff, and
it must he s,id that the freetraders seem
determined i«»••»«.: thdnucivrsnnea more
as thev did In the effort to pass the Morri
son bill, tegard eas of tbe consequences to
the Democratic canvass. Yet It i* known
that fou- vears ago the Republicans car
ried the 8tateof New York and the Preri-
denlial election by bringing this same
question of the tariff’into the very front of
tbe contest, while the same sentiment that
turned the Htate in favor of the Republi
cans in 1880 is likelv to bo equally In
fluential fi* Ohio and Connecticut, and
even threatens to make New Jersey a Re
publican 8tate.
There is certainly no reason to think that
(he free traders have been induced to take
this conne on account of any dissatisfac
tion with their success at Chicago. They
were suited with the tariff plank, and per
fectly satisfied as to the candidate's sym
pathy with their plan of dtaling with taxa
tion. For example, our esteemed contem
porary, tbe Galveston Daily A’nw. says,
n speaking of Grover Cleveland, that,
'were he a protectionist, he
would not have stood tbe least
chance of being nominated for President
by tbe July convention, and were fie to
renounce his principles now it wool I be
ratal to hla candidacy.” No doub- th**
revenu- reformer* accepted Mr. Cleveland
cherrfolly became they were convinced he
wa* a good enough free trader for them.
Moreover, it was this charac'erfstlc that
particularly recommended bitu to the
independents who had left the Republican
party. They were in the main favorable
to the plans of the tariff reformers.
Why, then, should the Democrats, who
began the campaign m such complacency
and inward gratific itfirn over their pros
|tects, s- ddenly start off a course t»*at
must inevitably lead |o defeat at the c*>nt
ing election? The on'y res*onab!e expla
nation Is that they have become convinced
that their candidate is destined to be de-
feated, and that they stand no chance
of success In eulogizing a morality
that does not exist. They come
back to the ebampiontblp of their idea!
