Eve been well, Tom,' said he, 'but
I got awfally scared the first night !

and wouldn't look at another door,

my head, and then forget which was
mine.
About twelve O'Clock that night
l came in with a kind of half-grown
hummin in my head, and the very
first thing ! found at the top of the
stairs was my own Identical door,

It will not help Gen. Garfield if the
charges against him are passed by unno-
ticed. Neither Mr.. Garfield or his sup
porters can afford to sheer at the grave
accusations. The Chicago convention
representing the Republican party of the
United States, placed Mr.. Garfield in
nomination for the highest Office within
the gift of the people, but. before he can
expect to receive the suffrages of the peo-
pie. he must explain the charges now so
current against him. There is nothing to
be gained by Acknowledgements want to
hear from Mr.. Garfield more complete
explanation than has yet appeared. Pre-
varicating and assertion of injured inno-
eencs might do if the case were less grave
but as it.now is, neither Mr.. Garfield
nor the Republican managers can treat the
matter lightly. It must be squarely met
and ut once. too.

Samuel j. TiIdep. whether he be the
nominee of the Cincinnati convention or
mol, is a stronger man than our Repubh-
can opponents care to admit. He il the
best organizer in the country. an indefat-
ieable worker, and has hosts OF warm,
personal friends who cling to him with the
tenacity of the 300 who stood by Grant.
MI, Tilden has been abused. deceived.
threatened and coaxed. but througn all he
is the same, silent, effective worker,
refusing to pay attention to the yelping of
those who seek his overthrow. and going
on steadily in his work, regardless of
what they say or do. Grossly wronged in
1875 as no other man had ever been
befora, he has borne his great injustice in
silence, preferring to bide his time for 3
full and complete vindication. II is not
going to aid the Republican party to
abuse him, nor help the Democratic aspi-
rants who seek advancement through his
downfall. The Republican party can well
afford to abuse Mr.. Tilden, for he of all
others il less deserving of their gitupera-
ton. The stalwart leaders ought
to be content that they deprived Mr..
Tilden Of the fruits of his victory in 1876,
without adding new insults or inficting
fresh injuries. The unfortunate faction
fight in New York has somewhat lessened
Mr.. Tilden's political prospects in that
state, but if he can demonstrate his
ability to carry New York, he will stand
a fair chance. even yet, of the nomination
if he wants it. The best informed ones,
however, say that he is not candidate
