only six wards he entirely successful. while in
eight wards Buffers instructions were rejected In
the other five the delegations are mixed. In his
stronghold of Lowell, where his friends tried 70
control the Republican primaries nc was COM
pletely defeated, and a Talbot delegation was
CHOSEN. The Bay State is getting maddeT every
day, aud even Butler can see the blood ia It's eye.
The Louisiana Returning Board has Congressional
aspirations. Ex-Governor J. Madison Wells viii

Mr.. Marble has had bis poysyllabic shechinah
letter published in pamphlet form and ornamented
with the title: "a Secret Chapter of Political His
tory" 1t has been sent all over the country, and
has been seized upon eagerly everywhere as the long
lost key to those cipher dispatches. OF course, dis
appointment asfollowed perusal of the document,
which only brings the thrilling tale down to the
the subsequent portion of the narrative is not
sounding as that of Mr.. Marbles portion. but 1t fur
nishes complete sequel to the story he tried SO
hard to tell.
Several Democratic editors have been wrenching
themselves recently TO find sort of plausible

readers that the evidence which THE TRIBUNE pub
fishes to sustain its charge that the Tilden
ayers tried to buy an eector in Oregon consists of
two dspatches,D and he publishes the two which
Mr.. Hewitt sent to Governor Grover OH the legal
points involved. THIS is all there Is OF IT, he gives
his readers to understand. He says not word
about the other sixty and odd dispatches, including
the eIphers and their Transitions Ihat Is the best

Marbles sbechlnah letter.
Unless fresh instalment Of patriotism is nstiled
into the bOsoms of the Republicans Of the XXld
Pennsylvania District the party will lose Con-
gresham there. There has been bitter quarrel
for the nomination, and Congressman Errett has
succeeded in winning it almost unanimously. His
opponent, however refused to go into the nomlnat-
ng convention aud declares his purpose to run as
an independent candidate. He cOnfesses that he
has hone of election, but runs to smash Errett"
If he persists, he will secure the election OF either
the Democratic or the Greenback candidate. lnls
is not good year for this sort OF business. NO he
publican has right to deprive his party OF vote
IN Congress at so critical time as TINS merely 10
crafty spite.

ocratic party. He has bean one Of Governor
Nichols's most intimate friends, but gained the
confidence of the Republicans last Winter by has
earnest and skilful defence of Governor Wells and
General Anderson, when they were prosecuted IN
the State courts. General Randall l.. Gibson, the
present Representative from the LIST District IS the
Democratic nominee for reelection. lie Is generally
conservative in his political opinions, fayors hard
money and a protective tariff, and bias no sympathy
with Bourbonism III any form. Both parties claim
the district with about equal reason.
