AND now we are told that two of the
great tornadoes of this season were CO.
incident with disturbance of the sun.
| The tornado at Marshfield had its coun-
terpart in a solar storm which showed
| its effects in an enormous chain of sun
spots, and the same phenomenon was
| observed at the time of the recent
tornado in illinois. If the same rule
holds good in politics, it is safe to say
that the Republican Convention at
Ispringfeld, H., a few days ago, means
the total eclipse of the Chicago candidate
in November Kansas City Times.
Mr.. GROW, of Pennsylvania, is of the
opinion that Mr.. Blaine's Malligan
letters will not lose him vote if he gets
the Chicago nomination. Neither will
Gen. Grant, in the opinion of the same
distinguished authority, suffer to the
slightest extent on account of any of the
scandals with which his name was so
sonspicuously connected during the last
term of his administration. 1t is only
the anti third term sentiment that will
bother the distinguished patron of the
st. Louis whisky ring. In other words,
party nomination will cover innumer-
able wordsof character, rotten to putrld-
ity. If Mr.. Grow is right, reputation1s
the poorest weed that grows.
SENATOR MCDONALD, who is one of
the most indefatigable and sonorous
Hendricks shouters, has appeared at In-
dianapolis with the gloomy prediction
that Tilden is likely to be renominated
at Cincinnati. He says the Tilden
workers started out to secure control
ing influence in the Convention in order
to have power to name the candidate,
but they have found it so easy to obtain
delegations that they are now pushing
for denomination, and, in the absence
of any organized opposition, are In great
danger of succeeding. 1t does look that
way, and the Republican who can view
the simultaneous retreat of the third
term and the advance of the old reform
procession, without dancing, mustsbe
encumbered with wooden 4egs.=lN New

OF all the prominent names to be con-
sidered, Mr.. Seymour is in every sense
unobjectional. Heis equally strong and
acceptable in every section of the coun-
try. He is "broad guage national
man." to whom sections are simply geo.
graphical divisions, and whose integrity,
patriotism and capacity render him
peculiarly fit for the highest honors of the
Republic. The masses of the party are
awakening to the fact that the nomina-
ton of Mr. Seymour would involve no
hazard, and in all sections of the country
there is growing conviction thai ii is
expedient. Scarcely b convention has
been held in which the mention of Mr.
Seymour's name was not greeted with
greater enthusiasm than that of any
other, and few delegations have been
chosen in which the Seymour element il
: not conspicuously represented.-[Kansa
City Times.
THERE is no hope for the Democratic
,, party if the South goes to Cincinnati
only so-watch the drift of whispering
Tilden syndicate and to be moved
by self-seeking No,thern politicians as {
l Tilden pawn. That it is childish to tall
of Mr.. Tilden's taking a nomination
Congress who has visited G ramercy Park
, within the last month, perfectly well
knows. His candidacy would be q
: screaming farce. A photograph of the
, Democratic candidate in that case would

, nominate Mr.. Tilden's famous horse
Blackstone, if that steed still lives.
