tried and wellapproved man. Few have
stood the test of Office better, and the
party has many Just as good to choose
from. What is essential is that there
should lie decency and harmony in the
Philadelphia Democracy, and its leaders
may as well understand right now that
if they propose to have an old-fashioned
rough-and-tumble over Pattison, or
anybody else. from now on to the state
convention, that body will have an old

real situation. The country's interests
are a football in the presidential race be-
tween Arthur and Blaine.
THE Acting President is what the
Chicago Tribune persists i'm styling Mr..
