tslity about reviving the Old ticket Of Til
den and Hendricks, like Mysteries, sskes
the shape of 6t every now and then, and
a few fellows have to be held down until
Il e spssm is over.
The old man himself has settled the qpes-
ton, but, like Smallweed, Sr., he gets q
shaking up every now and then and Is
made TO talk. The Democratic party
might as we'll cal upon Thomas Jefferson
in his grave as to expect me now to take
hold" said he week or two since. And
yet they won't let him be!
Nana.
Mr.. Dsna OF the Sun is chiefly responsi.
bic for the disturbance OF Tilden's rest
No one can doubt the sincerity OF the Sans
advocacy OF the ex-Goyernor's nomination.
| know that Dana esteems Tilden beyond
any other man in the party except Palmer
OF Illinois. Palmer is an able man, but
the delegation from his State Will be for
Morrison. Mr.. Conk!ipg and Palmer used
to quarrel occasionally during executive
sessions OF the Senate. They never conld
stand each other. One was proud, and the
other quick tempered; Palmer tolerated
no ipsolence and Conkling couldn't stand
contradiction.
History.
Speaking OF the Sun editor reminds ne
Of his visit here lately. Said TO hin:

years"

day"
No, We only get Size roys.'
'Oh, I see"
Itwas just then that we diin't know
what Bismarck was going 10 do with tAe
Lasker resolutions. Mr.. Dana said 10 ne
that he regarded tAsm as great piece o.
impertinence, nd added, why shOu!dn' I
Bismarck give them back ii he felt like ~
Thero would be nst as much propglety

about old Trumball:" / don't know that
he didn't refer TO TrumbulI, OF Illinois.
For man who has worked 80 diligertl '
as Mr. Dana, he :s Nnarkably active. He
is a very rapid walker, has spendid psgs
iqus and stands as straight as an arrow.
