The Presidenl and IIis 'remp,er.

Democratic Senator. according TO . recent

should again send ia the names Of Messr..
Roosevelt sad Prince for the positions Of
Coliecsor and Es,sl OHcer fes this port,
TREY would be eonarned- We are net in
formed ss 70 the grounds Of tho prominent

ily understand Why any Denoerstie Senator,
prominent or Obscure. should be quite willing
70 adopt such . belief, even spon inadsq,iaie
grounds, and to see the President sufacien,ly
Influenced thereby to try the experiment.
For We do NOT observe that Q Democratic
Senator puts anything at risk By Il. He loses
nothing and his party loses nothing if the
erpertsasnt should fail and the nominations
be rejected, There's an old story Of man
10 q bar room, who said he could take gold
watch and put It in mortar and pound it to
fragments, then cover it up and repeat an in
cantatiou over it. and restore 4. whole and
uninjured. A person of eonading nature
having furnished him 40 elegant gold stem
winder, it was proceeded with Is proposed,
and mashed. into infinitesimsl fi,eders. The
amateur magician then covered up the pieces
and repeated his incsntation. But IT didn't
restore the watch. Then he cbsnged the
form and tried it again, but still without sec
cess. After several ffuitless trials he banded
back the pieces to the owner with the remark,
81 mus, have forgotten word. Isaw q man
do it just by saying few words over the
mortar, and 1 thought I'd go, the same
words. Perhaps left out something." These
prominent Democratic Senators seem very
willing to try experiments in necromancy and
sleight-of hand but it remains to he seen
whether President Hayes has curiosity and
confidence to furnish the watch.-lN. Y. rri
