TiIden;s "CIaim.''

The facts in regard to Mr.. Tilden's
health have become 50 notorious
that it would be absurd to nominate
him for the presidency-absurd
even for his own state convention
to present his name. 1t is true,
however, that this absurdity may
be committed, but not with the
serious intention of renominating
Mr.. Tilden. The object will be
merely to furnish a point of cOncen-
tratiOn for his forces so that they
may cOnsummate the plan of die
tating to the convention a substitute
for their acknowledged leader.
This seems now to be the objective
point of the Tilden campaign. 1t is
not to nominate Mr.. Tilden, but to
force the nomination of some person
who may be agreeable to Mr.. Tilden
and useful to Mr.. Tilden's friends.
The right to dictate is cOolly as
sumed as compensation due to
Mr.. Tilden for his moderation in
not claiming the nomination for
himself We fancy that no such
right will be acknowledged at Gin
cinnati, as it certainly is not ac-
knOwledged by the party. Mr..
Tilden has no claim on the presi-
dency and very little claim on the
democratic party. The party is
competent to settle its affairs with
out seeking his counsel. He has
precisely the same right to be heard
Us any other eminent Democrat, but
his claim to dictatorship would be
insOlent If il were not absurd.

Newspaper correspondents, as a

shoddy popularity. / had rather be
a knot on log than that egotistical

BILE space Of the average country

all journals of that ilk should adopt
the patent outside. Now to the
point.
Memory's pencilings of Clarks-

is, it is home Ten years-what a

er recall the days of the Philomath-
can literary society? The old Bap-
fist church, the brilliant Lurton-

it the one great center of trade-the

a BeautifuIIdea.

We have frequently met the fol-
lowing beautiful sentiment in print
without the proper credit. 1t is
one of Bulwer's most beautiful EN-
anatiOns, and, if our memory serves
Us correctly, il is to be found in the
thrilling novel of Eugene Aram:
at cannot be that earth is mans
only abiding place. 1t cannot be
that our life is a bubble, cast up by
the ocean of eternity to float for a
moment on its waves, then sink
into nOthingneSs. Else why is il,
that the glorious aspirations which
leap like angels from the temple of
our hearts. are forever wandering
about unsatisfied? Why is it that
the rainbow and the cloud come
over us with a beauty that is not of
earth, and then pass off and leave
us to muse on their faded loVelineSs?
Why is il that the stars who hold
their festival around the midnight
throne are set SO far above the
grasp of limited faculties, forever
knocking Us with their unapproach-
able glory? And finally, why is
it that bright forms of human beau
ty are presented to our view but for
moment and then taken from Us,
leaving the thousand streams Of our
affection TO flow back in Alpine
torrents upon our hearts? We are
born for higher destiny than that
of earth; there is a realm where the
rainbow never fades-where the
stars will spread out before US, like
islands that slumber on the ocean,
and where the beautiful beings that
pass before Us like shadows will stay
in our presence forever.
