NEW York, June 18th, 1883.
Republicans in Ohio must indeed
be in q bad way when none of the
leaders of that party care to injure
their chances for 1884 by going TO
the front of what locks very much
like a lost cause. The nomination
of Judge Foraker struck everybody
as a more marvellous instance of the
vagaries of politics than even the
nomination of Hayes. When Hayes
was nominated astonished delegates
arose up and in tones of utter per-
plexity shouted "who in h is
Hayes?" and the newspaper CORES
pondents were almost at their wits
ends to ascertain some facts about
his life. Foraker indeed! What has
become Of all the politicians which
Ohio has been turning out for the
last eight years, when a convention
has to go around with a magnifying
glass and finally pick up a little
country Judge and expect him to
pull their party through.

"Mahone is very active in Virgin
ia" said a leading Virginia Demo
erat the other day, "and he does not
stop at any means providing be can
maintain his miserable political ex-
~istence longer. The latest things he
has done is to excite the colored pop
u~lation by telling them that the
"Bourbons'' had entered into a dark
scheme of consolidating the white
vote against the colored, and should
they be successful at the polls. then
every law which mitigated the con-
dition of the colored people would
be repealed. The very absurdity of
this statement is calculated to give
it all the more currency among the
ignorant blacks, and the Republi-
cans of course are doing their ut
most to support Mahone's buseless
assertions"
The Democratic outlook in Penn
sylvania is excellent. Judging by
the way Republicans are keeping up
their discussions. A leading indie
pendent Republican of that State IN
nounced last week that his party
would gladly unite with the Regu-
lars in the coming campaign if they
were given explicit guarantees Of fair
treatment and fair party manage
ment hereafter. This is very much
like the proposition of q patent med
licine company which offered to back
Courtney the oarsman, for five thou
sand dollars against Hanlon, provi
ded Courtney would give bonds to
the amount of ten thousand dollars
that he would row an honest race
How 4 the parties to such q con-
tract have confidence in each other,
and how n they expect to win?
The people at the Brunswick Ho-
tel were much exercised over the
"Black Princes" arrival. He came
to this city accompanied by his tn
tor, q white gentleman. 1t must be
remembered that "The Prince is
but twenty-five years of age. They
at once proceeded to the dudes ely
SUM, yclept the Brunswick. Count
de Delva rushed up to the desk and
taking up the pen was about TO reg
lister his name. The clerk who is a
very grand parsonage grew indignant
over this act of a "Digger." "Stop
that" he exclaimed. "You can'tget
a room here" "Why not?" "Be
cause you can't" The young man
locked up somewhat amazed. Then
with shrug he tool up his umbrella
and satchel and walked out, followed
by his tutor. "One moment, sir"
exclaimed the clerk to the tutor
"There is no objection to your stay
ing here, but you must admit that
the conduct of your valet was a lit
tie too free" "My valet" exclaim-
ed the tutor, "why I'm his servant.
This is the Count de Delva, of Hayti,
the o of an eX-President of the Re.
public" The clerk colored and beg.
ged to present his excuses, but the
young man took no notice of then
and fastened off to the Fifth Avenue
Hotel where no difficulty was raised
The Brunswick people afterward:
sent profuse apologies but they were
taken no notice of.
Vanderbilt returned early yester
day morning from Europe. He hal
bought some pictures and brio n bra,
but brought very little of the proper
ty with him. as he goes back to Eu
rope in August, to stay for q coupl
of months. While abroad he wa
kept constantly informed of Maut

Talking of horses reminds me o
the fact that the first American Der
by winner, Iroquois is coming home
He is pretty nearly in good condi
ton, and will be fit to race shortl,
after landing here. Mr. Lorillaro
) tod me that he thought that tn
great horse would reach home il
, about three weeks, and would at one,
be sent to Monmouth Park in tim,
for the July meeting. A match a
weight for age between Iroquois ant
Freddy Gebhard's Eole, and anotke
with Forester for about $4,000 q sid,
, are talked of. JOHN.
