SENATOR HERMAN thinks that Gar
fields nomination takes Thurman, Payne
and Jewett out of the list of Democratic
presidential possibilities. His very plau-
sible reasoning is that the Democracy
dare not put it to the test to win or lose
it all on Ohio. To select a candidate
from that state and pit him against Gar
field would be to invite decisive con-
test in October. The Democracy are
not compelled to do that. They can
make Ohio doubtful state, but it is not
by any means necessary to have it to
elect the Democratic nominee. To lose
it after such contest as would be
shaped over the candidacy of two
Ohio men might exert depressing in
fuence on the Democracy elsewhere, the
risk of which issue is an unnecessary
one. Senator Kernan's head seems to be
level on this point, though on the score
of fitness and desert, Ohio is quite as
prolific of Democratic favorite sons as
she has been productive of Republican
leaders.

or thirty Manchesters in the United States

which of them Henry Gibbs may belong
to, nor what may have become of him
whether his body lies at the creek, or is
safe and sound in some one of our MANY
Manchesters.
The contents of the valise are of good
quality, but some them have been badly
damaged by the water.
Master Huffnag!e took the valise and
contents to the mayors Office, where they

| A had Place.
On the southeast corner OF the Duke
street bridge is a rather dangerous opening.
| The circumference has not been measurc.i,
but child might easily be admitted
through while walking over or pl,, ing
the railroad track below.
We all know that children have broken
limbs by falling few feet. What would
be the fate Of one not smart enough to
elI,le this trap! 1t would be interesting
to know on whom devolves the duty of
having this repaired. The police certainly
do not spend much time on Duke street,
nor do the judges pass along the neishbor
hood daily. They are extremely vi.ilant
individuals the boundary line of whose
duty is not drawn at the court house steps
who would long ago have ordered :, repar.l-
tion. The lawyers and doctors passin:.
to-and fro can bc reasonably excused. The
former can view this incautiOus elephautine
dilapidatiOn with selfish smile, because
the spot may be the source of 4 future
lawsuit, and the latter, in case of ;iu acci
dent, would be afforded IN opportunity 70
exercise their professional skill; but, Ia
all apparent probabilities the victim, would
have gone to where Lancaster judges, law
yers, strcet-commissioncrs and policemen
may not be known.
Dusty streets and uneven crossings may
be disagrcabe enough, yet they are not
emedately dangerous, but this Duke
street what-is-it should have treat of
carpenterins or masonry. "A dumb-waiter
would be beneficial improvement.

A BLOSSOM SONG.

RoSeS.-roseS,-wnO will buy
Pretty roses, fresh and sweet;
Gathered while the daylight crept
Up the skies With shining feet?
Buy the pretty roses, dear,
And I'll tell you something true;
Kiss the blossoms for your love,
And your cheeks will steal their hue
Pansies,-pansies,- buy, oh buy!
Velvet beauties, with trace
In their up-turned, Saucy leaves,
Ola laughing, rOGuish face!
Buy, my darling Pansies Pls; sweet,
Lay the blossoms next your heart,
And its dreams will all come true!
Lilies, lilies,-buy. oh buy!
Royal lilies, pure and cold
As the drifted winter SHOWS,
Save their quivering hearts of gold
Buy the stainless blossoms, dear,
And I'll whisper something true;
Heart of gold and spotless truth,
Some one waits to ask of you

WAsHINGToN gossip runs thus: Blaine
was jubilant and gleefully said "the
bosses are busted;'' Matt Carpenter was
wroth, swore terrifcally, cussed Blaine,
Sherman and Hayes, and deeply and vio-
lently deplored the defeat of Grant ;
Hayes rejoices over the defeat of "Conk-
ling and the Grant ring" as he expresses
it Sherman feels the same way with re-
gard to Garfield, but does not relish the
nomination of Arthur, having removed
the latter from the New York collector
ship: Little Frye's friends think that the
vice presidency should have gone to
Maine, and that it was quite unnecessary
to conciliate Mr.. Conklng by the choice
of General Arthur; General Sherman sent
no congratulations to Garfield and Secre-
tary Key was silent. The Washington
Post recommends as the ticket necessary
to defeat Garfield and Arthur the follow
ing: For president, Horatio Seymour :;
for vice president, Allen G. Thurman.
