New-York tribune., 1879-11-24

Opinions have differed in the Democratic
party about Mr. John Kelly As a candidate
for Governor. They have differed and still
differ, about his capabiliy as a political leader,
and, among Republicans. about his ability to
restrain the evil tendencies of Tammany Hall.
But there is no question that Mr.. Kelly Is an
interesting personality, and his free talk upon
the city finances, reported elsewhere, should
be read by every citizen.

1t will be observed that General Ewing, in
his talk upon the political future, remarks
that Joel Parker would be an excellent can

Senator David Davis in the same category

would make them the desired length.

however, she, as . matter Of course,
clipped off the superfuous inch, as she
had been asked to do. The family is
composed of six female members, and
each one Of the five, who were in ad-
joining rooms, heard the dispute
between man and wife, and after the
latter had taken oh the required inch
and retired, the old lady, desiring 10
keep peace in the family" and not
knowing what her daughter-in-law had
done. cautiously slipped into the room
aod cut Of another inch.
In this way did each OF the Ave
ladies, unknown to the other. and all
with the praiseworthy object Of pre-
venting suy misunderstanding between
the couple. clip an inch from the legs
of the gentleman's trousers.
The following morning, oil uncon-
scious Of what had taken place during
the night. he rolled up his pants in
piece Of paper. and took them to the
tailor to be shortened to the desired
length. Upon hasty glance the latter
ventured the opinion that they were
already short; but the owner insisted
that they were fully an inch too long.
The tailor had no moro TO say and our
friend retired.
On the following Saturday he called
for the pants and took them home, and
was supremely disguised at finding tina:
the legs reached only triHe below the
knee. He straightway accused the
tailor, but bis wife heard him. aud
came TO the rescue. explaining that she
had taken an inch from each Of the legs,
and her acknowledgement wa. followed
by that Of each OF the other five ladies,
when it was discovered that altogether
the legs had been shortened To the ex-
tent OF seven inches.

Washington never made a speech.
In the zenith Of his fame he once at.
tempted il, failed and gave it up con.
fused and abashed. In framing the
Constitution Of the United States, the
labor was wholly performed in Com
mittee Of the Whole, of which George
Washington was the chairman, but
he made only two speeches during the
Convention, which we're of but very
few words each. The Convention,
however, acknowledged the master
spirit, and historians affirm that had
il not been for his personal popularity
and the thirty words Of his first speech.
pronouncing it the best that could be
united upon, the constitution would
have been rejected ny the people.
Thomas Jefferson never made a speech.
He couldn't do it. Napoleon, whose
executive ability Is almost without a
parallel, said his greatest trouble was
in finding men of deeds rather than Of
words. 49,
