The Philadelphia Press rises TO inform
the country that the revolt against the
Republican presidential ticket is declining.
The country will doubtless be much Obliged
to the Press for the information. IL mist
have some evidence Of the decline that is not
in reach OF the country, and which, strange
TO say, 1t does not publish. However,
what about the New York TSmeS's
Boston special, which is published else
where, and gives an account Of
the anti-BLAINE Republican and In
dependent organizations that are forming
this week in different Massachusetts, towns?
Can II lie that the Times and other promi
nent papers have been imposed upon by
wicked TeXas-meIeor man? Can 1t be that
the leading papers Of New England labor
under u delusioD when they state that
The revolt continues TO gather strength?
Such must he the case, for the Press always
publish es the news, as was shown by the
enterprising silence II maintained about the
the Connecticut bolt.

II was originally intended that the mar
riage OF Mr.. Hallam Tennyson, the poets
son, and Miss Audray Boyle should take
place in Henry Wis chapel, at West
minister Abby. The reason 'or the change
TO the choir Of the Abby IS said to have
been the unsafe condition OF the chapel
roof.
An English gentleman named Sumner,

Sir Bartle Frere is said to have left very
little money. His widow and children are
but poorly provided for. Lady Frere will
probably get pension, and 1t is presumed
that the Queen will offer her apartments at
Hampton Court. Sir Bartle left ample ma
terial for biography, but it is questioned
whether the papers and correspondence
could safely be published for some years to
come. Sc r..ra m.

The Position Of che south.

The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle and Consfi.
tafionaiist.:n discussing "The chance for
the Democracy" says:
"The conservative and non-committal
sentiment Of the delegates 70 the National
u, mocratic Convention Is becoming more
apparent every day. A few States have
advanced with enthusiasm the claims OF
isyoriie so. e; several OF the convention
have manifested q feeling for some promi-
nent candidate, and oil OF the delegates
have individual preferences. But nowhere
are the claims Of any one advanced with
unsecmly prominence, nor arr the cicc-
pioneering forces endeavorlng 20 precipl-
tate verdict with hazardous haste"
True. And the position OF the delegates
from the South, taking them asa body,
fairly represents the position Of the people
Of the South. While nearly every man has
bis preference, he Is perfectly willing TO
yield II for the good Of the party and the
good OF the country. The southern idea Is
that every other consideration should give
place TO such harmony as will result in put
ting the best and strongest msn on an hon
est platform. The South will be heard
from In the Convention ne she should be,
but 1t may be relied upon that she will
Lave nothing TO urge inconsistent with
an unselfsh desire TO do the will
Of the whole people. She has moth
ing TO ask In the way Of regard for
her views that she does not consider Is die.
tated by the interests OF the party at large.
Although It is safe to say that the sentl-
ment OF the South is largely In favor Of
CLEVELAND, she goes into the Convention
virtually unpledged to anything save re-
form. IL, therefore, the outcome Of the
Convention is not the result OF high aud
patriotic purpose to rise TO full and ei-
fective appreciation OF "The chance for the
Democracy and the chance for honesty, 1t
Will not be the fault OF the South.

81 believe you are friendly to lIoadly?"
ayes, Hcadly l. elem, able man, strong
with the Germans, and in the late election
pClled more votes than were ever before
cast for Democrat III Ohio at any election.
But this question Of a candidate for the
Democracy is above all personal prefer
encCs. am not booming Governor Cleye-
land. although believe in his candidacy.
Tie has made a good State Executive and
the warfare against him il one OK the
most unjust and in many respects OF
the most unmanly character. The
cries against him are those OF dem
agCgy and such as should make
him strong befor- the country. Whether
they will or not is question for the near
future. Since his election he has been
Governor instead Of politician. which is
great point in his favor. This has natu-
rally brought him trouble. The fight on
him on account OF his veto OF the iiye-ccnt
fare bill Is about on 4 par with the petty
crusade against him. There j. absolutely
nothing in ii. II he bad been good poll
tician instead Of good Governor le would
have lodged bis responsibility In this ques.
ton. He could very easily have left it 20
the courts TO decide and saved himself
trouble, but he had a Just idea OF his respOn-
sibility rs Governor and he dealt with the
iii according TO his own ideas OF duty. On
this account they say he belongs to the cor
porations? His lie is all against such an
assertion. He never belonged 70 blind
pools, as Cornell aid, or sat in the Western
Union directory while Governor OF New
York. He is poor, and has the old-time
ida Of the dnty OF public officer rather
than an eye single for personal success. II
he should be elected President he would.
IN my judgment, bring to the national Adj
