Mr. Marsball's answer is quiet and dig.

ut would have afforded mo satisfaction
10 enforce nnd maintain tho proposition
that public trusts should be administered
with the same scrupulous fidelity rs private
trusts; that no diversion from the original
purpose should be permitted 1t is mock.
cry Of common business sense to displace
tried and faithful public servants in order
to provideplaces for hungryapplicants, who
may prove as worthless MS they arc vorA.
cious. No sane man so acts in his private
uifairs. 1t Is especially repuguant to sound
economy In the administration OF public
interests. The use OF public patronage 10
control or direct the people in their choice
OF candidates for office is n grave political
crime. 1t subverts tho principals Of repre-
sentative Government and tends to make
the servant master to the common dcbase.
nent Of the people. To have aided, in some
degree, in calling attention to these vital
questions OF the hour would have been my
duty rs 4 nominee. The great moral and
political ideas which called the Republican
party into existence have become embodied
in the organic law OF the land. II it Is the
mission Of the present party organization
to 90 forward in the spirit OF the platform,
it should succeed. II it fails To- come up to
the full measure Of its PROMISE, it should
perish. Mereparty obligations sit very light
ly on my shoulders. The call upon me for
party service was genuine surprise; one
not likely TO be rep eated in lifetime. 1t
came unsought and should not be declined
without adequate and commanding reasons.
Such exist in my case. Personal and pri-
vatc duties, in which the public take no
interest, demand that MI my energies be
devoted to their fulhllmcnt. / therefore
must decline the proilered position"

A ST. LOUIS SESyATIOy,
Threatened Duel between n Crimlr
Judge and NcHsunper Editor

Threatened Duci Between n Criminal
Judge and n Ncaspnper Editor.
Sr. LOUIS, May 23.-The remarkable pro-
ceedings Of Judge Laughlin. Of the St.
Louis criminal court, in the Stanley Water
loo contempt case, is the absorbing topic Of
the day.
Several days ago, the Chronicle, an even
ing paper, published IN item rejecting on
the integrity Of Judge Laughlin, intimating
that he had been bribed by tho gamblers.
The judge ordered Stanley Waterloo, the
managing editor and principal proprietor
OF the Chronicle, to appear before his court
to answer for contempt Of court. Waterloo
accordingly Appeared with attorneys Judge
Hayden and J. G. Lodge, and made answer
that tho article in question WIS published
in the Chronicle by his consent and with
his sanction, and that he was willing 10
take the responsibility. Judge Laughlin
said that it was questionable whether he
could summarily punish an editor for pub
| fishing unfavoable criticisms upon his
conduct; whether such criticism could be
regarded rs a contempt Of court and pun.
ished by the court. He further said
it WIS disputed question whether the
courts had right to punish for such con-
tempt, but in the opinion of many lawyers
aud men on the bench, it was tho duty the
Judge owed the tribunal 10 resent such an
insult He said "ln this matter think
both the court and myself personally have
been aggrieved. think my first duty is to
redress the wrong Of the court and then
the personal wrong." lS5I' W. lS;4
Late last night 1t was discovered that tho
Judge Horatio NJ. Jones. This morning,
from the bench Of the criminal court Judge
I.aughlin said that the situation had ma.
terially changed; that he now knew the
name OF the writer OF the article, and SOON
er or later he would settle the matter with
Mr.. Waterloo; that when he left the bench
last evening, he y. had intended to
take off his badge Of servitude
and resign; now, like Grant, he
would not retreat under fire. As to the
author Of the article, he was beneath con.
tempt. He knew him from experience;
he was chronic slanderer and a coward.
Judge Hayden, on behalf OF Mr.. Waterloo,
accepted tho full responsibility for tho arti-
Gle, and refused to apologize; he said TINT
he considered the action Of the court lille.
gal, ,;and would take mo further notice Of
the tribunal The matter was then drop.
ped; it Is believed by some that the matter
will remain as it now stands and that the
sensation Is now over, others arc Of the
opinion that the difficulty will result in "a
hostile meeting under the 'code." II 4 N

The independent Movement,

PHILADELPHIA, May o3-Probably two.
thirds OF the delegates to the Independen.
Republican convention are now here
State Chairman Mckee says that he has
letters and tclegrams from which he gath.
ers TINT most Of the other delegates will be
on band in the morning and that the con
vention will be full one.
Senator Mitchell was guest Of Mr.. L. r.
Wood tonight. The reception at Woods
residence was entirely social. 1t was not at.
tended by many leading Independents Of
this city, who regarded the reception us i'll
advised, fearing that it would be construed
as caucus for setting up Il ticket for TO-
morruws convention. Senator Mitchell
did not stay ut Woods very long.
The Philadelphia delegates were in
session to-day about three hours. They
decided not to vote on delegation but to
leave each individual member to his own
judgment upon NIL questions. Some
favored placing Judge Ludlow, a Democra,
and the common pleas Judge OF this city
on the ticket for Supreme Judge.
The large majority will likely support
Major Merrick, Of Tioga, for Governor
and Colonel W. NJ. McNlichacl, Of Phila
delphia, for Congressman.at-Latgc, with
Judge Agnew or George Shirar, OF Pitts
burgh, for Supreme Judge The lndica
tions are that Merrick, McAlichael and
Shirar will find places on the ticket. It j.
also proposed to place Isaiah II. Weaver
or some other able colored nun, on the
ticket.
The authoritative announcement Of Hon
Thomas N. Marshall's withdrawal FROM the
regular ticket gives great satisfaction to thu
delegates from all parts Of the State, thougl
many are disappointed because the terms
Of tho letter preclude the independents
from giving him place OH their ticket.
