ton for the Presidency.
The following is Gov. Seymours letter to
a paper which had nominated him for the
presidency: $50 e1v
Urea, Monday, Nov. rs. 1887.
To the Editor of the Democratic Union, Oneida
SRI see that you have put my name
at the head of your paper as candidate for
the Office of president of the United States.
Other Journals in this, as well as in the
eastern aud western states, have also thus
expressed their wishes for my nomination by
the democratic national convention. These
marks of good will and confidence give me
great pleasure, but am compelled to say
that / am not and cannot be a candidate for
the presidency. AS my reasons for saying
this are personal it is not necessary to state
them. They in no degree grow out of a wan
ing interest in the great and serious ques-
tions which divide parties, in this country.
On the other hand, feel that we are about
to enter upon an earnest and thoughtful dis
cussion of the condition OF public affairs.
The passions and prejudices excited by civil
war are dying out. All now see that ques
tons Of finance, tariff, the rights of states,
and the powers of government, cannot be
settled by clamor and calumnies. Both par
ties feel that the grave problems growing
out of the disordered state IF the country
must be confronted, and that due respect for
their organizations demand an earnest and
thoughtful inquiry as to the best modes
of Tightening the load of debt and
txation which hinder the business of our
land and weigh down with heavy shack
les the arms of labor In trying in the
future, as have in the past, to uphold the
principles which deem 10 be right, can
do battle with more vigor when | am not q
candidate for official position.

The Last Scandal i'm Chicago.

The Chicago papers are filed with accounts
OF divorce trial which surpasses in some
respects the famous Stewart case. The fol-
lowing are the main points Of the case
The parties in the suit are Mary h. and Asa
7. Groendycke, the former Of whom makes
the application. Both Of them have had expe-
r,ence OF the varieties OF welded life, each
having been married three times and divorced
once. The lady is a native of Maine, formerly
q resident Of Springfield, and made her first
matrimonial venture at the age of fifteen. She
now brings as the grounds Of her compliant
accusations Of cruelty, intemperance, and con-
tnued adultery on the part OF her spouse.
The details are sufficient to form an inter
esting chapter. Three weeks after marriage,
when the pair was snuglv ensconced In bed, q
wordy difficulty arose, which the husband
attempted to SETTLE by grasping his wife by the
the beginning ottrouble. Groendyc ckes favorite
pastime seems to have been choking his
wife, which he did in all places and on all
occasions, varying his conduct by seasons OF
professedly great affection and tender care.
He gave way to the love OF drink, which led
to more swearing and choking, and finally,
when his wife detected him In criminal con-
nection with a servant. he pitches Mrs. Groen-
dycke down the stairs, in juring her to such an
extent as to destroy her health. Her feeble-
ness was q source Of much discomfort to her
husband, who sought consolation from the
bottle and from attentions to the servants, un-
til at length his neglect became notorious. The
luxury of kicking his wife out of bed had be-
fore this been denied him, as his former part
ner W eighed some two hundred pounds, and
was unwieldly to move in that manner; bat the
present Mrs. Groendycke enjo ed that pleas
antry TO its fullest extent Finally he de-
stroyed her wardrobe, compelled her to sign
deed making over to him piece of land OF
which she was possessed, and pitched her
fisery into the river. This was the final blow.
Mrs Groendycke took to her bed, from which
she arose only to tell her tale to the curious
world and ask the laws interference. Her
former husband was in court, doubtless ad-
miring the excellent working of the divorce
law,
