BLarxs,s ROOM.

BLAINE's boom is nearly done BOOM
ing.
AS the time for the National Con-
vention approaches BLAINE's real
strength may be more accurately meas
ured, and It is now becoming I'lain
talk that It consisted in bold exaggera-
lions and Ingenious inventions.
New England was to be solid for
BLAINE.
Instead II is solid against him, with
the exception Of his own State.
Pennsylvania was his private
property.
Instead, Pennsylvania gives as many
votes to ARTHUR rs the BLAINE men
were able to capture.
Iowa was for BLAINE, as usual.
Instead, the delegation will be against
him.
Kansas was also claimed as BLAINE
State, as a matter of course,
Instead, Kansas has followed the
Iowa example, refusing to instruct Tor
| BLAINE.
Where, then, are BLAINE's votes to
come from.
He needs great many to be nomi-
mated, and it is utterly impossible for
him to get them.
Although other names are mentioned
the contest has been between BLAINE
and ARTHUR from the beginning.
ARTHUR will lead BLAINE on the
first ballot.
On the second ballot BLAINE will be
nowhere.
Rooms don't make Presidents.

DAYS when Hayes's title hung on the deci:

Why, / was virtually President OF these
United States for about SIX hours one day.
Grants term was up, and Hayes had not
been publicly sworn in. He was sworn In
privately by the Chief Justice, in my pres.
ence, but the Cabinet was really running
things. Some Of the Cabinet were terribly
scared, and l went on deck and ran things.
There was lots of excitement then. The

THIRD TERnIsm NOT DEAD.

CESAR is still on deck. An attempt
to secure third term is to be made.
The following eomplseent gossip comes
from Washington;
at is now no longer q matter OF
doubt that Grants friends are planning
an earnest movement 10 make him tue
candidate of the Republicans, with
Lincoln for the second place. Logan
and Grant are in entire accord, and 1t
is confidently expected that the bulk OF
the Old Guard of 1850 can be rallied to
Grant on the home stretch. It is
claimed Dy his friends and admitted by
all, that Grant Is vastly stronger now
than in 1850, aud his candidacy would
be free from the load of third term
hangers on that crushed him in the last
convention. Grant Is not pushing him
self as q candidate; but the failure
of Arthur in New York, the aggres-
sive opposition to Blaine recently ex.
hibited IN quarters which canpOt be
disregaTded; the known preference Of
Edmunds for Grant, and the probable
failure OF Logan TO command majOri
ty, have COM bined to make 8 large pOr-
ton OF the supporters of all the e2ndl-
dates named look out for 8 second
choice. The ssperities Of 1850 have
mostly persisted, and Grant is now so
free from all entangling alliances, aud
so Independent in his position, that
there is u plsinly visible and strong cur
rent settling in for solving the dispute
by falling back on Grant. The GcAnt
boom is about to start, aud 1t will be
one Of the big tides within q month.
Let this former head of the most cor
rupt administration known to the his
tory of the Government be squeIched
out, once and for all, by the nomination
of SAMUEL j. TILDEN, who cannot be
defeated. II isahigh time to relegate to
hopeless retirement, the third term
marplot, who seems to exist only to vex
American politics.

SAMUEL J. WALKER was once the
richest man in Chicago. He was q
prodigiOus Speculation, and at one time
owned fifteen hundred acres of real
estate within the city limits. After the
panic of 1878 came the turn, and little
by little things changed 80 that the
man who had been considered worth
fifty millions could not raise fifty dol
lars. He had been self-made, but was
ruined by inordinate speculation. Mr.
JAY GOULD is often spoken of now Is
controlling fifty millions worth OF
stocks. Men may come and men may
90, but stocks will not buy forever. Per
sons may often be heard to wonder
whether Mr.. GOULD'S great fortune will
last. The answer is easy: 1t is not I'M
til the end of q high game that We
know who leaves of 8 winner.

Arc delegates come with the crocuS,
All labelled and tagged for Blaine.
For me they are tagged aud labelled.
For me Is the general voice,
And earh of the others Is only
A third or q second choice.
The sheets of my book may grow dusty,
AS silently sit in my room,
And note with unSpeakabl wonder
TIE size and speed Of my boom.
But one thing is sadly lacking,
That ought TO give tone to the Job;
miss the sound Of the trumpet
Of eloquent pagan Bob.
Time was when he found his Olympus
way mp in the State OF Maine,
And had for the god OF his worship
The lovely tin idol named Blaine.
No more at the shrine OF the idDl
he lovingly bends his knee,
And the pelican voice OF the Pagan.
He lifts up no more for me.

Allow me space in your valuable

of this district. In 1882 the Repub-
lican party was divided, many well
known Republicans voting the hide
pendent ticket. From information
CLEANED from the Weekly Dispatch
of York learn that matters are a
little reversed, and men who were
formerly opposed to the so'called In
dependents are now working with
them and are trying to make it APP
pear that Mr.. M. Schall is one of the
worst men we have. | take but little
stock in these chemelion characters,
the men who are trying to vilify the
character of Mr.. Schall, whom they
once professed so much love for. The
vile SANDER against Mr.. Scball, which
appeared in a recent issue Of the
Dispatch, was very disgraceful.
Could Mr.. Schall give all OF his enc
mics q position it would soon dry
their tears. L.. }. u.
