cay they would contribute something TO keep
newspaper columns sweet and respectable.
Mr.. Dorsey is not person of any further
consequences in She history of the country"
TIE New York Tribune, commenting on
Ws.terson's visit 70 Tildep, Gays: "Ihe Great
DeiraUded did not exactly run up ard down
stairs ssvsn times TO shew how strong he was;
but he kept his visitor TottiDg around after
him through the house and over the farm
until Mr.. Watterson begged to stop and rest.
In the account OF his visit which the Ken
lucky guest gives, he does not mention hsv-
ing seen a 'bsr'P Of any kind lying around.
But it wasn't necessary. His picture of Mr..
Tilden as rosy Apollo is enough TO set the
boom up sgsiD."
GEN. MCCLELLAN, il a conversation at
Fort Worth, is reported as saying about the
Presidency: "Thst is an office, cir, that no
citizen should seek or decline. l am not
candidate. As L told you before, once had
the Presidential bee, but was discharged
cured. But il is idle to talk of me for the
Presidency. l have had my day, and got
squarely beaten. Besides, if was a csndi-
date, it ia too early TO talk about il yet. The
candidate who will be discussed from now
until the convention meets will be beaten
beyond doubt" These last are the WIAst
and truest words ever uttered by George 3.
The spirit Of Garfield was called up the
other day at seance in S.. Louis, when he
predicted that "Arthur will be the next Re
publican candidate for the Presidency. Both
candidates will come from New York Conk-
ling will take no part whatever in the next
campaign. Arthur will not get a united Re
publican support, and the country will 20
Democratic. Blaine is the greatest OF living
Americans, and would be elected, but his
parry is ungrateful and will no, nominate
him. Mexico will be annexed TO the United
States By peaceful sgceement in 1898. The
American government should beware OF the
railroad power, lest it should destroy the lib
critics of the people. The government should
own the railroads as it does the rivers and
lakes"
DoRsEY's scquittal by The Star-route Jury
leaves him with leisure to pay some political
debts that accrued during his prosecution,
and he seems disposed to discharge the obi
cations 10 the last cent. john A. Logan ia
the special object of his present wrath. After
referring to Logan as "au ambitious hypo-
critic" he goes on 10 cay, in an interview: "A
more treacherous man aud bigger demagogue
does not exist than the senior Senator from
Illinois. II he should get the nomination
(for the Presidency l will give him one of
the worst rsckets that ever politician got in
this country. He would not be able TO stand
one minute before my batteries. Everything
| say will prove. The country does not
know Mr.. Logan in his proper light. 1t will
know him when / get through with him.
Let the battle go on,
In his eagerusss to bid for the working
meu's support ia his campaign for the
Democratic Presidential nomination, Ex-
Senator Mcdonald has been betrayed into an
uterauce which ssyoIs Of that terror of all
politioians-Kuow-No thingism. Mr.. McDon-
aid ia credited with saying that i'm Immigration
is the thing which labor should dread, and
that, having found a remedy for the Chinese
evil, we msy require similar one for the
European immigrant. Does Mr.. Mcdonald
propose that the Irish, German, or Scsndi-
navisn who has been 30 fortunate as 10
secure footing and q vote in this country
shall cay that there shall be no more Irish
men, Germans, or ScsndiDayia1s allowed
here? The remedy applied when the people
of California complained of cheap Chinese
labor was exclusion.

The New York World editorially SAYS
that yery few persons are aware how near
Mr. Chaunoey NJ. D-pew came to being
elected United S stes Senator in place OF
Thomas c. Pstt in 1881. When the late
President Garfield was shot down By dis
appointed Republican ofice-se ker in the
railroad depot at Washington, ne was abou.
to START for Wtstchester county on a visit to
Collector Robertson, then Stsfe Senator.
Mr.. ID. y. Bradley, Collector Roberison's |
neighbor, had invited TO his house at the |
same time all the Republican Assemblymen
Who were not supporting Mr.. Depew for
United States Senator. II bad been arranged |
that President Garfield should meet these |
refractory Assemblymen at Mr.. Bradiey's |
house and exert all his influence and the |
power Of his personal magnetism to bring |
them into line for Mr.. Depew. At thai |
time Mr.. DePsw, who had steadily led the |
Republican Candidates sitter the SIKH |
ballot, required only from twenty |
two to Twenty-Five more votes to |
elect hiu. Il was felt absolutely |
certain that President Garfield could, by a |
personal effort, secure toe necessary number.
Mr.. Vanderbilt had appealed to the Presi- |
dent 20 make that effort, and Senator Robert |
son was the intermediary through whom the |
meeting was arranged. The bullet of the !
Republican assassin cut short this arrange /
meni, aud the visit of the Ascend ymen TO |!
Mr.. Bfadley's house was postponed. If the |
meeting n Wesichesler county had taken |!
place, there is very little doubt that the Van. |
