Amabelle Ricard, minister of the interior,
died on the 18th His death is likely to re-

from Bullets retirement, after the elections, as
he was mainly instrumental in organizing the

S p ROUNDS of Chicago Ga name by which all
the printers ofthc northwest do their pious swear
ing) we see by q circular is about to get ont a
new edition of his "Press Catalogue and Press
mans Guide" book which, though mainly in
tended to advertise his improved Chicago Taylor
Presses, yet contains great deal OF matter OF
gencIal utility to the craft. Aside from the
merits of the book, however, this gives us an
opportunity to say something which has long
been struggling within US for uttcrancc, IN re-
ference to the Chicago Taylor Presses, with the
manufacture Of which Mr.. Rounds is so largely
connected. We have had ole in use now about
five years, propelled by little two-horse Baxter
engine. Rounds boy came with the machine
and set it up and started it for US, and from that
day to this we have recollection OF our losing
an hour on account of a break down, or any part
Of the machinery getting out of order. We have
employed no professional pressmen, but let the
"boys' run IL in their own way, yetit has always
worked smoothly, and done as good work as any
Hoe press costing twice the money. Except to
renew blanket, or tapes, or rubbers for the air
bumpers, we have no recollection of spending a
dollar in repairs except in the case OF one trli-
Ing accident which was no fault Of the press.
We know of no attention the press needs to
keep it in order except a little rubbing and
cleaning up once week. We have never found
any trouble in making good register or perfect
ly regulating the impression. OF course its main
use is to print our paper on, but we work all
kinds of large posters on 1t and occasionally
fine work and color work, when the forms are
too large for our Gordon presses, and have
never encountered the slightest difficulty. If
there is any better or cheaper press manufactur-
ell for all purposes which the Chicago Taylor Is
intended TO subseryc, we have never seen or
hcnrd OF IL.

lican party and tho country. We have the
kindest feelings for Mr.. Blaine. We recog-
nize his rare and winning qualities. We
think in some respects he has had hard
usage. But his nomination at this time
would have been the downfall of his party.
He would have lost this State. He
would have given the democrats
walk-over. He may be as pure as
snow; he may be the victim of "a conspiracy
to assassinate character" of this we con-
cede and trust it will prove true but his
record since these railway troubles began
made him an impossible candidate. Even
this fact is conceded by the leading journals
OF his own party. To have placed him in
nomination in spite of this record would
have invited sure defeat AS it now stands
the ticket is n fair one. It is no such
o ticket as Washburne and Logan, Conk-
ling and Hayes or Morton and Hartranft
would have been. 1t means nothing but
mediocrity. Governor Hayes is good man.
He defeated Thurman and Allen in Ohio,
which shows how strong he is ct home. His
personal character is stainless His record,
~ Ao Aun any, 40 GALL, piaciu, uAcNcAiuA.
He has been quiet, sensible Congress
man, o modest general and o fair Gov
ernor. If elected he will bring these
qualities into the White House. There
are, we have no doubt, ten thousand repub-
licans any one Of whom would make as COM
potent President as Hayes. He has no
such hold upon the country rs Blaine or
Morton, Conkling or Washburne. He hap
pened to have fewer edges than any other
candidate, and the party took him. 1t may
be o choice as wise as that of Lincoln
or as foolish as that of Tyler. Time
must determine this Mr.. Wheeler,
the candidate for the Vice Presidency,
stands well in this State. Hayes and
Wheeler will poll the party vote. They will
call out the solid, hard working party men.
AS ticket Hayes and Wheeler represent
the average common sense, sober minded
classes. When we see the work Of St
Louis we can then estimate at its true value
the work just achieved at Cincinnati.

THE STEWART CHARITIES. -From goodly
list published elsewhere, the public is in
formed of the bestowal of the very large sum
of seventy-six thousand five hundred dollars
on various public institutions, mostly chari-
table, in this city, by Mrs. Cornelia NJ Stew
art, in obedience to the expressed wishes of
her late husband, the great merchant.
Already the faithful employees, whom Mr..
Stewart desired to reward, have been handed
their munifcent requests Nor is this all,
for Judge Hilton states that tho good lady is
still engaged in examining the claims of
other institutions with a view to making do
nations to those of deserving character.
These are noble uses for the overflow of o
rich treasury, and the blessings of the needy
will be earned not only by the thoughtful
ness but by the promptncss that has marked
the carrying out Of Mr.. Stewards generous
wishes by his widow.

The last day of the American Jockey Club
meeting will be marked by number Of fine
races, seven in ALL and will undoubtedly
attract the most brilliant concourse Of spec
tators of the season. First Of all will be
mile dash by three-year-olds that have
not won anything at this meeting, which
will bring Woodland, bennington I'd and
Ambush to the post. Then will come the
Centennial Stakes for oil ages-a run of two
and three-quarter miles-which will send
such grand horses as Tom Ochiltree, Olitipa,
Acrobat and viator prancing away at the
fall of the flag. BY way of interlude will
follow three-quarter mile consolation
dash, starting Australind, Waco, Cyril
and Pera in search Of honors they
have missed during the meeting, and
which three of them are likely to miss
little longer. Hero comes in o dainty race
in which club members will mount their
own hacks and try over three-quarters of a
mile whether Mr.. Rowland, Mr.. Arnold, Mr..
Center, Mr.. Poets, Mr.. Scott, Mr.. Phelps or
Lord Vaudeville can beat Mr.. Purdy or any
of the others. Following this will be
the handicap sweepstakes of o mile
and an eighth, with Leander, Egypt,
Freebooter, Huckleberry and lines
A. in the running. Then, 4 ar
to the ladies, comes grand steeplechase of
two miles and half, with such fine fence
flyers as Trouble, Hermione, Resolute, Risk,
Bullet, Stanford, Colonel Nelligan and War
like to contest every inch up hill and down
dale. Closing the rncing of this memorable
day will be steeplechase match be-
tween Mr. Lawrence on his horse
Resolute and Lord Vaudeville on
the Gladiateur gelding-a race which will
awaken the liveliest interest, To crown the
days sport the Polo Club will play q match
for the cup on their grounds in the park.
When we add to this splendid programme
the pleasures of the drive to Westchester and
back to town it will be seen that similar
opportunity for enjoyment on the turf has
not presented itself for many day.

THE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE CENTENNIAL
CELEBRATION are rapidly progressing in New
York, and we may look forward to the per-
lection of programme worthy of the En-
pire City. Apleasing feature of the affair is
that the efforts to secure fitting celebration
Of the nations birthday are being made by
our public spirited citizens themselves, who
are determined to secure for the city dis
play in keeping with her rank and impor-
lance. A considerable sum has already been
subscribed by prominent merchants and
others, and an invitation is extended to the
general public to aid by their contributions
in this most desirable object. The occasion
is one in which all our people can join in q
grand tribute Of love to the great nation Of
which we are members and Of reverence for
the memories Of those who have made this
cause of rejoicing possible
