will, in its turn, elect a United States Senator
to succeedMr. Lapham. There are two men, it
is said, whom the remnant of the Old Guard will
support for the position. They are Roscoe Conk-
ling and President Arthur
'0There is no doubt said a gentleman we'll
posted in these affairs, to-day, that the old love
for Office still fingers in Mr.. Conkling's breast.
Whether his friends would see fit to subject him
to che modification Of another defeat, is still
doubtful. President Arthur would doubtless
make a much more acceptable candidate, and
whether, like President Adams, he would con-
sent to serve his country in the legislative de-
partment, after having been its executive, is at
present undecided
There would be, of course, q curtailment Of
dignity, said the gentleman, 'sbut with such an
example as President Adams, it is thought the
President might consent to be acandidate."

Good Prayers at Both Conventions.

OStO OVHBiekdJlondhbt.
The ticket, Cleveland and Hendricks, is an odd
assortment, with the tail end frst-a shaping Of
things which Mr.. Hendricks himself was not
alone in being vexed at. A number of fine things
can be said in praise Of Governor Grover Cleve-
land, but his biography furnishes somewhat
scanty material for even his warmest ~eulogist.
A good sheriff Of Buffalo; for a year a faithful
mayor of that city; for one term a fair Governor
of his State; heavy in flesh, weighing nearly $50
pounds; not easily pushed off his hinges; by
no means fine in the fibre of his mind;
rather sluggish in intellect; wholly without
experience in national affairs, and whose con-
victions as to the mighty questions Of the
time have not been made known generally. To
choose such a man above all others for the chief
magistracy Of our Republic, the worlds greatest
nation, strikes many as having IN it an element
Of unwisdom. Such a nomination was not sug-
gested by any sense Of the transcendent civil re-
sponsibilities to be assumed. But it is, after all,
the winning party rather than the winning can
didate that rules. The choice is. In part, be-
tween Dir. Blaine and Dir. Cleveland; it is, vastly

mond is a wonder. He is a small blonde young
man Of thirty-six, with sandy hair and mus
tache. He has a modest personal appearance,
dresses very neatly, and there is no man in New
York State, not excepting Samuel j.. Tilden,
who has a larger acquaintance with the Demo

prominent Democrats of the Nation. He was
for years Tilden's private secretary, and his most
trusted friend. He is perfectly honest knows a
man at a glance, and the moment any
one comes into Cleveland's Office he
can tell what his business is. He signifies to
Cleveland by a nod of his head what he thinks
of the request about to be made. He never
loses his head, has been with politicians all his
life, and he has the most exemplary habits. He
never smokes, and never swears. He is inferior
in size, and does not at first command the atten-
ton to which his abilities are entitled. He is
courteous and quick, is very friendly with the
newspaper men, and gives them all the news
freely, with a fair estimate OF that which should
not be reported. He is very domestic in his
tastes, and he has a pleasant wife and two little
children. If Cleveland should be elected, Mrs.
Lemond will take a leading place in the White
House circle. 1t was Lemond and Apgar who
presented Cleveland to Manning as a candidate
for Governor to knock out Slocum and Flower"

Sow STORY About General Sherman.


Washington Letter.
I heard a funny story of General Sherman to-
day, which / believe has never been in print.
Some years ago, while he was making a tour in
the Eastern States, he was given a reception at
the house of an acquaintance, and it was attended
by nearly all the people of the town. Among
other guests, was an elderly lady who was a sort
of local Mrs. Malaprop. and was noted for her
tendency to say the wrong thing at the wrong
time. She was clad in her Sunday gown, and
bedecked with all the fnery of her wardrobe.
Ambling up to General Sherman, she shook
hands with him, and jauntily inquired: "Are
you the General Sherman who was in the army
during the warp
For once in his life. the hero of the march to
the sea and the general of the army was COM
pletely taken aback. But it was only for a mo-
ment that he was Disconnected. He looked at
the old lady quizzically, saw she had intended no
im~pertinence, but was perfectly honest and
serene, and then he responded, in his quick,
nervous way: Read history, madame, read
history
