NEVvoRK DAILY TRIBUNE SUNDAY, TRIPLE SHEET

UNMARRIED brown stretch of stubble. The har-
vest which these good cOast-people anticipate IS
not to come out of the ground; buds and early
frosts trouble them little. Their crops are from
the sea and the cities, and are not likely to fail
them this year.
During the last Winter the idea of the health
giving properties Of air from the sea and the
pines seems to have taken fresh hold OF ply
sicians and invalids. It is the proper thing for
the fashionable world to go to the coast in Feb
ruary as in August. Atlantic City, which five
years ago was deserted barracks OF empty
houses from October until May, has been so
widely advertised as the Nice OF America that
her hotels were crowded during the whole Oh
last Winter. Sanitariums are going up on the
most uninviting stretches Of Jersey pine-woOds'
and sWarms of consumptlves are waiting 10
precipltate themselves into them. The whole
coast from Sandy Hook to Cape Charles Is now
divided off into sea-parks or ocean-views, hlmsy
Summer cities, usually under the control OF some
religious denomination. Cooperative building
companies and railroads are thTusting their
iron graphing hooks into the quiet hidden
hooks which few artists or dreamers found
ont years ago and kept apart for their own use |;
glarng waysidc stations and enormous piles OF
lumber, named hotels, have taken the place OF
the solitary marshes and the murmuring pine
woods, and there is every prospect that they
will make plenty Of money. Property on this
sea edge has risen in value during the last year
faster than ever did Chicago cOmer-lots; tracts
OF marsh and sand-hills which could have been
bought six years AGO for So an acre sell cow by
the foot for hundreds. The fisherman who tOed

speculates; he measures Off his half-acre lot;
he dales with the Company; he sweetens his
appe-iack at the village tavern with tales OF
New-YOrk capitalists coming down to purchase.
The whole coast is astir and alive to reap the
golden harvest: we shall have one long SANTA
rum or seaside camp-meeting from the Hudson
to the Chesapeake. But Arcadia is no more.

Tlden may truly be said to ride the Democratic
party like Il Centaur." The horse portion of the
combination, however, is generally known rs don
key.
What has become of the gifted George c. Cor
hams scheme for running Grant as q stalwart on a
reconciliation platform, with Blaine for Vice-Pres-
ident to pull the combination through? GOrham
occupies in politics the place that parsonage
named Bill occupied in one of the Colorado mining
camps He has some good points but the trouble
with him il that he is always about SIX lengths
ahead of everybOdys Judgment. and gaining at
every jump"
Tho most generous estimate of Grants strength
among the delegates which have been elected from
twcnty.one States leaves him 142 votes short of a
majority Where is he going to get these The seven
teen States which are still to elect are: Alabama,
Colorado Delaware, Florida, Illinois. Louisiana,
Maryland, Michigan Minnesota, Mississippi, Ne
brasla, Nevada, New-Hampshire, New-Jersey, Ten
ncssee West Virginia, and Wisconsin. Of these
Grant is certain of Il solid delegation from Mssis-
sipp only sixteen votes. He will get part of the
delegation from Alabama, Florida, Louisiana Ten
ncssrc, and Illinois Giving him all the delegates
from these six States Alabama mississippi, Florida,
Louisiana, Tennessee and Illinois. he will get only
l26 votes. Ii less than he must have lie can get
none from MARYLAND and probably none from Della
ware. He has no chance IN Nebraska ana NEVADA
none in New-IIampsllirc ana next to none IN New.
Jersey West Virginia is for Blaine and there is not
a Western State in the list which will send del
cgatc for Grant. This makes IL pretty evident that
if the third-tcTm goose is not already cooked " Is
so nearly so that something besides claims Is
necessary to rescue 1T.
The thrilling spectacle is afforded the country Of
n Democratic Congress spending the peoples money
TO yindcatc" two batherskites-One u professional
lobbyist and political broker, and the other notor-
ons political advcnturer who in his time has run in
every political party for everything, from glass CT
MhiSkCy to il seat III Congress.
Some Of the Third Tcrmcrs display great indigna-
ton because it has been said that Grant has made
speeches in support of his own candidacy. Will
they he kind enough to explain what his reconeil-
atiOn speeches were i'll support OF
IfTildcn is such tower of strength why don't

let the public see for ltScltf
Chicago correspondent of The Cincinnati Com
,percial saws he can furnish the name of u distn-
guishcd Republican leader of Illinois to whom
Colonel Fred Grant made this astonishing state
ment: "NIy father says that there may come time
in the history of the Republic when it may lie to
tbe vital interest of the people of this country to
nominate President for third term, and when
presidents set by Washington and Jefferson would
stand in the way of the common welfare IL, there
fore becomes important to get that obstruction 10
tho safety of the Republic out Ut the way. Ny
father says he is in Il posi- ton to make that trial
and win that victory against public, superstition ION
has reached that basis its end is already here.
With the retirement of POStmaSter-Genera Key
the last yestgc of the present Administrations well
meant reconciliation policy disappears. He was put
into the Cabinet by the President i'll order that the
South might sro that tho Administration meant to
treac all sections alike lie Democrat of a
conservative type and his appointment by RE-
publican President was au unprecedented and sig
niicant step. How did the South receive II They
denounced Judge Key az q "Ttpentant rebel" anu
read him out of the Democratic party with disgust
The storm which fell upon the Judges head when he
admitted in Il public speech that the war was
mistake" on the part of the South, is still well
remembered by everybody apparently, save General
Grant.
