&C 5" that Governed the World.


When Mr.. Gladstone formally contra
dicted the monstrous story that he was in
any way responsible for sfG.'s' article in
the Fortnightly, all the other 'sG.'s" in the
front rank were passed in review. In
England there are only three conspicuous
sc. 'sn-Lord Granville, Lord Grey, and
Mr.. Goschen, for Mr.. Gorst can hardly be
reckOned as c. Of the first magnitude.
On the continent there are among states
men of the first rank only two "G.'s''-
Giers and Grevy-neither of whom, it is
safe to say, inspired Mr.. Escott. Three
years ago it was said in France that the
world was governed by the ''G.'s.' There
was Guillaume, of Germany; Gladstone,
of England; Gambetta, of France; Gort-
schakoff, of Russia, and Garfield, of the
United States. Death has thinned the
ranks of the s1G.'s," but still with Gull
laume, Grevy, Gladstone, and Giers, it has
the first place in an alphabet Of states
men-as, indeed, it deserves, for does not
SOP stand for government?

The nominations of Col. Pope for Gov
ernor, and Hon. J. c. Greely for Lieuten-
ant Governor at Live Oak, yesterday, by
the Independents, are regarded as the
strongest ticket the party could put out.
If this ticket is Endorsed by the Republi-
can Convention, the race will be pretty
close. 1t is predicted by many that the
Republicans viii go for a straight ticket,
and give the Independents a clear track.
The Democrats are preparing to meet the
struggle boldly. 1t is believed that the
best men in the party viii be put in nomi-
nation. There is no doubt that il viii
take the best men in the State TO win; we
must have them. 1t is no time now to
take part in mems little differences, or
debate over the mistakes or follies Of the
past.

Cleveland's Strength.

The day following the Saratoga Conyen-
ton enthusiastic Democratic journals
in various parts Of the country appeared
with displayed headlines and doublelead-
ed editorials announcing thatit was about
settled that Cleveland would be the Dem
Ocratic nominee for President. The re-
ports that were telegraphed over the
country indicated that the convention
was largely in favor Of Cleveland, and
left the impression that the New York
delegation would be solid FOX him by the
time that the National Convention met.
This impression has not been strength
ened since the State Convention adj
iOurned. Il is true that Clevelands
friends still claim that he has large ma
jOrity Of the delegation, bet the claim IS
as vigorously denied as it is made. The
adherents Of Flower assert boldly their
ability to name at least forty delegates
who are out-snd-out Flower men. At the
same time the story is SET afloat that 3ohn
Kelly has expressed the opinion that the
y ew York delegation does not mean to
support a New York man for the first
place. but has a Western man
in view. II is impossible to reach
the truth, among so many con-
fiicting stories. One thing appears
10 be reasonably certain. 1t is that there
is not a unanimous sentiment in favor Of
Cleveland in New York. If it should
turn out that there is any considerable
number OF the New York delegates against
him, even though the entire delegation
should finally decide to urge his nomina-
ton, it is a question whether it would be
wise to nominate him. The boom that
has been started in his favor is based on
the supposition that he can carry New
York with less effort than any other can
didate. II it shall appear at any time
before the convention assemblies at
Chicago that this suppOsitiOn is
not well founded, he will be
dropped very unceremoniOusly. He has
no hold on the party and no personal
following. His prominence is due wholly
to his supposed availability, coupled with
the fact that during his short career
in public life he has encouraged reform
legislation. The wise thing to do in the
next two weeks, therefore, is to make
vigorous inquiries respecting Cleveland's
ability to carry New York. Is it true that
he is not popular with the Tammany
Democrats? Is it true that the anti-mo-
nopOlists and working classes do not re-
gard him with favor? 1t must be re-
membered that the struggle in New York
is not likely to be a weak or tame affair.
The Republicans have made up their
minds TO carry the State if possible,
and the Democrats cannot afford to select
as leader a man who has elements Of
weakness. We do not mean to say that
Cleveland is not a strong man, or that he
is not the strongest man that can be
nominated. We only mean to say that
before nominating him the party ought to
use every reasonable means to discover
whether his prospects for carrying New
York are better than those of any other
candidate. That his friends were not
strong enough in the Saratoga convention
to venture to secure instructions for him
has a rather discouraging look.

An Amusing story.

Boston people tell somewhat amusing
story. says the Chicago Times. about Mr..
Charles Perkins, Commodore of the Hull
Yacht Club. Mr.. Perkins, it seems, is a
popular and well-to-do picture-frame
dealer in the Bean city, and having any
quantity of leisure on his hands he con-
cluded to join the Hull Yacht Club. Com
binlng every element Of popularity, he
was soon elected Commodore of that Or
ganizatiOn, and formal reception was
gwen in his honor on board the flagship
of the squadron. Now, while Mr.. Perkins
was thoroughly acquainted with every de-
tail Of the picture-frame business, he was
wofully uninformed as to nautical matters,
and hardly had he boarded the yacht on
the evening of the ovation to him than he
made a most compromising break. Sur
rounded by his fellow sailors he proudly
paced the deck of the yacht till he came
to one of the traps leading down into the
hold. Pausing here and peering eau
tiously into the empty space below, an ex-
preston of surprise Illuminated his cOun-
tenance, and he exclaimed: "Gosh! the
darned things boiler, amt it!''

PRACTICAL JOKE.

A horn player In the band of the Wild
West Combination, whose name is said to
be Oscar Frank, is humorist, and is par
ticularly proud of his reputation as per-
petrator of practical jokes. While he and
a party Of his fellow musicians were
passing through Fairyiew yesterday af-
ternoon on a West Shore train bound for
Jersey City, he noticed an innocent-lOok-
ing passenger in a seat near the front of
the car. Mr.. Frank conceived the idea
that the tedium of the journey might be
relieved by a little fun at the expense of
the countryman. Approaching him he
abruptly asked:
stWhat's your name, sir?"
"Henry Dunn Carr" answered the
stranger. "Pm from Wisconsin"
''You are, are you" shouted Mr.. Frank,
with much assumed sarcasm and indigna-
ton.
.'That's too thin. You're a New York
pickpOcket, and you stole my watch and
chain while was sleeping in my seat"
tsNo, sir, didn't" Mr.. Carr protested.
eff you don't give 'em up" said Frank,
drawing a revolver, ''I'll blow your brains
out"
At the sight of the pistol Carr turned
around, and before he could be prevented
he sprang out of the open window. The
train was moving, but not rapidly. When
the train arrived at Jersey City the acct
dent was reported, and Carr, who had
been picked up unconscious near the
track at Fairview. was brought ON to
Jersey City and taken to st. Francis
Hospital, where he was lying, last night
in very precariOus condition.

Following the example set by the Re-
publican leaders in 1880 in giving a ban
quet to Dorsey, Mr.. William Walter
Phelps, the leading Blaine manager at
Chicago, gave a little dinner a few days
ago to celebrate the Blaine nomination.
At the dinner he made a speech, in which
he said: ''We had to pay the expenses of
the colored delegates both ways, and that
averaged about $40. Then we had to pay
the hotel bills in Chicago, and that cost
more, for the colored delegates came early
and staid late, and nothing was too good
for them. And finally we had to buy each
one a suit OF clothes" The colored dele
gates seem to have Jared pretty well at
Chicago.

The Dingley shipping bill passed both
Houses yesterday, but it did not contain
the free ship clause or the postal subsidy
feature. The Pacific Mail steamship
lobby was greatly disappointed at the
failure of the postal subsidy scheme,
which has been urged in one shape and
another before Congress for years. The
Pacific Mail Company, however, find some
satisfaction in the fact that the law which
arbitrarily requires American vessels to
carry mail matter at two cents per letter,
and which prevents an American vessel
from clearing until such mail matter is
received, was repealed. The repeating
act, however, does not go into effect until
April l. 1856.
