you that should not be candidate at this
time, only for this reason: At the last election
my wife was lying on her death-bed, so that it

which Legislatures in different States had become
democratic which had for a long time been re-
publican, it appears also that the list OF the Gov
ernors OF the thiry-Seyen States OF the Union has
been turned about considerably. In 1870, four
ears ago, there were but six democratic Cover
ners in office, viz llaight, oil California Salisbury,
of Delaware; Stevenson, Of Kentucky; Bowie, of
Mary land Randolph, of New Jersey, aud Hoffman.
OF New York Those werc the days when II was
| sneeringly said that the democratic party was
'dead." To day there are sereateea democratic
Governors, not counting Booth, OF California and
Baxter OF Arkansas, who may be classed among
the opponents of the regular republican organiza-
ton. The democratic officials are Ingersoll, OF
Connecticut; Ponder, of Delaware; Smith, Of
Georgia. Hendricks, of Indiana; Leslie, Of Ken

ed name professionally. She further agreed
and promised that il his father has not taken
him back by the time he is twenty-one, she will
resume her marital relations with him il he
