Ii Mr.. Tilden has paralysis at all, it
has not effected any member of his body
save his tongue and this slight disability
does not impair his eligibility as pres
identiai candidate.
Sam Randall did very good job for
MIR. Tilden at the Harrisburg conven-
ton, but he might have done much bet
ter by placing himself for u few months
under the tutelage of Don Cameron.
AS the for;y-two votes of Illinois are
rather essential to the success of the
Grant boom, it strikes us that it is near
ly time for John A. Logan to be taking
off his coat and splitting on his hands.
The Sherman boom in Ohio looks as
fresh and bright since the Republican
state convention as the wheat does in
Kansas since the late rains. Both will
yield average crops without any further
back sets.

sHERMAN.s CHANCEs.

While the endorsement of John Sher-
man, by the OHIO Republican state con
vention, by no means insures his success
at Chicago, il must he confessed that it
has given his boom an impetus which at
least entities it to respectful eonsidera-
ton, and it places the secretary of the
treasury in the position of a very i'm
portant factor In the counsels of the Re
publican national convention on the 2d
of June.
The sherman organs of Ohio, indig-
nantly resent the charges concerning n
Sherman-Grant combination to beat
Blaine, and declare AN open fight on
their part for the hero of resumption
and disclaim the dickering policy ON
any and all grounds They profess full
confidence in the outcome of a square
Sherman fight, and regard the chances
of their standard bearer as second to
none of the prominent candidates before
the national convention.
While the endorsement of the conven.
ton has been given to Sherman, it Is un
mistakable that Blaine has strong FOL
lowing in Ohio, evidence of which is
furnished in the fact that number Of
the more stalwart counties of the stat
instructed their delegates for him. and

ability is beyond question, his service,

and we rejoice that his own noble stat,
has manifested its recognition of hi
great worth by giving him its unquali
fed endorsement And, while we do no
believe him to be the candidate of tn
people at large, we should most cheer
fully support him, should the uncertain
chances of politics make him the nomi
nee of the Chicago convention.

which is nothing NOR. or less than
farming under ilie sea-" Everywhere
upon the coasts of eastern New England
may be found, ten feet below the water

the Irish moss of commerce. 1t may
be torn from the sunken rocks anywhere,
and yet the little seaport of Scituate is
almos: the only place in the country
where it is gathered and cured. This
village is the great centre of the moss
business in the country, and the entire
Union draws its supplies from these
beaches. Long rakes are used in tilling
this marine farm. and 1t does not take
long to fill the many dories that await
the lichen, torn from its salty, rock bed
The husbands and fathers gather the
moss from the sea, and the wives and
daughters prepare it for the market.

The division of the Pennsylvania del
ega,ion, and the apparent advantage of
the Wallace faction, will probably i'm
part a slight degree Of momentum to the
Hancock boom, in whose behalf the Til
den boilers are said to he working. The
impetus thus gained, however, promises
to be very inconsiderable, and does not
invest the movement with any imposing
degree of force. The friends of the Gen
eral will find that brpss buttons and
