Mr.. MURAT HALSTEAD of the Cincinnati
Commercial has written another letter to the
editor of the New York Herald on the bar
gain by which English was nominated for
Vice President. He concludes as follows
"a weaker nomination than that of Eng
lish could not have been made He is repre-
sentative not of popularity in his State. but
of the revenge of Eastern and Southern
Democrats offended by the course of Hem
bricks fallen forever from his pedestal label
ed the great and only Indiana statesman') (,
in refusing to go on and make the fight of
1880 with his ticket of 1S76-doing this upon
the preposterous assumption that his party
owed him the Presidency, and that all things
must be shaped to aid in the payment of the
debt. The appearance of Gov. Hendricks
on the stump cannot help his own ambition
or the fortunes of his party. He has COM
mitted the unpardonable political sin, and
lags grotesque as well as superfuous on the
stage. He las done his country the service
of preparing his State for Republican vic
tory that will decide this campaign, when he
shall have the leisure of the remainder of
his life for the cultivation of his brilliant
professional career: but one appreEends that
there is not in the consciousness of this
achievement the assurance of consolation"

Love of "a Dance


The latest thing in dances is cal ed
the "raquet," and is neither waltz
nor polka, though the best parts OF
both are preserved. The music
strikes up with crash, as though a
new volcano had broken out, and the
girl will cling tightly as though fright
cned. if she understands the dance,
and the young man will reassure her
bv gentle pressure, if he understands
the dance or knows anything at all.
At the second crash they dodge, as
though some one had thrown black
smith shop at them, and they start in.
They begin by initiating the strugg e
for life, representing a person who Is
drowning, but at each Crash of the
cymbals and brass drum they dodge
and scoot to one side, then dart back
again. lam each other sideways and
then as the crashes of music become
more terrific and deafening, they try
to drive each other through the floor
by main strength, get desperate,
and claw aud tear and pull, and all at
once they go raving mad with hydro
nbohia and deIirium tremeHs, and
gnasb their teeth and rave and suffer
fbe most terrible agOny-and II is all
over. II is a short dance, aud the de-
SION is amusement and not murder.
