STATE PRESS REVIEW.

The Houston Post slludes to the sympathy
Of the people for the president as expressed

many of them in sending foe old wines and
whiskeys for bis use, and evolves from its
imagination hypothetical Tom whose pa
breaks him Of drink BY referring to the
dozen rich old Madeira he sent the president
when wounded. Such Thomas will never
have local hsbitstioR. The genuine Tom
will mutter to himself, "what guy the gov
ernor WAS to waste that good juice Of the
grape when SO many other people were send
ing wine and cigars" 1t isn't 4 good thing
to be too fAnciful and imaginative this hot
weather. The Pos, says:
The people are SO sorry for their wounded
president that they are not only sending,
continually, words of sympathy and cheer,
but also presents of every kind that pertain

presidenrs condition making it necessary
that he shall take stimulsnts continually,
various well meaning persons have been
sending to the white house wines, brandy
and whisky Of the most venerable and ortho.

him in his painful illness as eviden-
ces of the warm affection that Is felt for
him. Besides this, il gives the donors great
ABSTRACTION. 1t will be source Of pride,
some twenty years hence, for some old gem
teman to say to his perhaps too festive son,
"pull ue Tom, aud use the good gifts of

doing. When Garfield WAS president and

Tom will feel so abashed by the rebuke
that bad whisky will fail to comfort him.
The Fort Worth Advance thinks it not
improbable that new political party will
be orgsniz,l in this country before the next
presidential election, party evolved from
the generalization Of the republican and
democratic parties. 1t ssy9:
In the course of events it is natural to sup
pose tina. new party will come 10 life ere
another presidential election comes to pass.
IL al aA tota Of ha
publican and democratic parties this contin-
gency is more than probable. Leading jour-
mails of!he country have intimated tie rise of
this new party. Ia the event of Mr.. Conk-
ling's dssppoirt d reelection to the senate
of the United States, it is more than likely
that he will champion the van of a formida-
bic political army. Conkling is a high
strung, gifted statesman, aud when personal
glory and pqus blend with him, he will, as
a matter Of IL ical sequence, enter
the political arena, as the head and
founder of new party. His following nee.
esssrily will be respectable, for he will
doubtless bring the Grant Influence to bear
in effecling his ultimate ends. Then there
are sors-heads and NAL contents in each OF
all Of the other political organizations of the
country which will encourage him. With
talent, prestige and splendid personnelle and
character to back him in this great under
taking, no fear need be entertained Of abso>
Lutte annihilation. The time appears ripe
for movement of this kind, If defeat on the
one hand, and discomfort on the other, for.
bode anything of suggestive and r, Elective
character. We do not express
any opinion whatever concerning
this anticipated aspect that things
seem to DO taking. With the strong back
ing however which Mr.. Conkling seems to
possess throughout the country, and the pol.
Icy of disruptDg old parties in view, and
bringing about a new order OF affairs, we
think, yin the event Of his defeat TO gain
great political prominence, such revolution

politics thereof, is more apt to trsnspire
