NEW YORK. 1884.

About sixty million copies of THE Sun
have gone out of our establishment during
the past twelve months.
If YOU were to paste end to end all the
columns of all the Suns printed and sold
last wear YOU would get continuous strip OF
interesting information, common sense wis
dom, sound doctrine, and sane wit long
enough to reach from Printing House square
to the top of Mount Copcrnicus in the moon,
then back to Printing House square, and
then threc-quarters of the way back to the
moon again.
But the Sun is written for the inhabitants
of the earth; this same strip of intelligence
would grille the globe twenty seven or
twenty eight times.
Ifevcry buyer of a copy of the Sun dur
ing the past year has spent only one hour
over 1t, and his wife or MS grandfather has
spent another hour, this newspaper in 1883
has afforded the human race thirteen thous-
and years of steady reading night and day.
1t is only by little calculations like these
that you can form any idea Of the circulation
of the most popular of American news
papers, or ofits influence on the opinions
and actions of American men and women.
The Sun is, and will continue to be, q
newspaper which tells the truth without
fear of consequences, which gets at the facts
no matter how much the process costs,
which presents the news of all the world
without waste of words and in the most
readable shape, which is working with all
its heart for the cause Of honest government,
and which therefore believes that tho Re
publican party must go, and-must go in this
coming year of our Lord, 1854.
If you know the SUM- you Ike it already
and you will read it with accustomed dill
gence and profit during what is sure to be
the most interesting year in its history. If
you do not yet know the Sun, it is high
time to get into the sunshine.

their preferences for a Presidential
candidate. Senator Bayard in express
sing his views, has said that he only
desires the nomination of the man who
can win.
Representative Valentine at one end
of the Capitol and Senator Hawley at
the other took occasion to defend Sen
ator Logan from the charge of being a
landgrabbcr. There had appeared i'll
the Congressional Record statement
containing a catalogue of citizens hold
ing enormous tracts of land in the var
ious States and Territories, and among
them was found the name of Senator
John A. Logan as holding 10000 acres.
Abiding to the matter Mr.. Logan said
although it was false, he did not think
it material. He did not propose to give
a schedule of his property to anybody,
but he did not hold Il hundreth part of
what is charged.
President Arthur has been having
troublesome time over the Fitz John
Porter bill It has been discussed at
the two protrscted Cabinet meetings,
and Secretary Chandler who leads the
fight against Porter, presses it so hard
that it is thought the President may
veto the bill. Secretary Chandler is
by all the Members of the
Cabinet, except the Secretary Of State,
and the Attorney General.

Political.

On Tuesday next the Democratic ma.
tional convention will meet in Chicago
and will have probably nominated the
candidates for President and Vice pres
ident before our readers receive the
next issue of The CLARION.
The letter of Mr.. Tilden declining to
allow the Use of his name, as We have
already stated, threw the party into
confusion, inasmuch as by the action of
State conventions already held, he had
been virtually nominated. At first it
seemed decidedly certain that the man
tie of Tilden's Inheritance would de-
scend upon the shoulders of Governor
Cleveland Of New York and it has by
no means been demonstrated that such
even yet will not be the result, but
some figuring at the vote in New York
whereby he obtained the phenomenal
majority of 1s2,s54 having shown
that he really received but SOY more
votes than Hancock and 2O,224 less
than Garfield in 1880, coupled with
the suspicion that John Kelly has &C.
creted in his boot the same knife that
he slipped under Hancock's fifth rib
in 1880 and that he will probably use
it on Cleveland, has at least rendered
his nomination less ecrtain
There also seems to be half formed,
rather half-destroyed belief that Til
den will yet be nominated by an over
whelming vote on the first ballot and
that he will then be driven by that cir
cnmstance to accept. Whether or not
he would under such conditions, we
have no means Of judging, but that
such a vote will be made we do not be-
lieve.
The friends Of Senator Bayard CLAIM
to have good grounds for hope, while
the names Of Senator Payne of Ohio
and Mcdonald of indiana, Gov, Hoad
ly and Ex-senator Thurman of Ohio
are also mentioned We give the names
OF the different candidates, placing
them in the order in which we believe
they stand for the chance of the nomi-
nation rs follows Cleveland, Bayard,
Mcdonald, Payne, Thurman and Hoad-
~. We believe however that there is
fair chance of the entire ticket being
made up out of the above six names,
either McDonold or Hoadly being NOM
mated for the Vice Presidency in case of
the nomination of either Cleveland or
Bsyard for the Presidency. We should
say that it now looks most likely to be
Cleveland and Mcdonald.

TUE USUAL RESULT. 1T IA not toS1a de-
MED that good sewing machine is one of
the most important appurtcnances of the
modern household.
W. thought we had Il good machine in
our horsrhoid until one day the agent ofthc
Ne,r Jioms presented himself at our door
and proceeded to deliver an Grafton upon its
characteristic merit
But" we answered. "our machine serves
us nicely and suits us well, and we do not
care for another"
The agent, however, begged tho privilege
Of leaving onc OF his machines with us, for
the ladies to try"
The rcques! WAS not unreasonable SO we
granted it--hut more to ohligc the agent
than anything else; for really we did not
want the machine, and had not the rcmotest
idea of buying 1t.
The machine once in the house, it was nat
ural that the ladies should look it over they
did So, and as Il consequence fell in love
with il. They say that without the slight
est wish to decry or dsparage any sthcr
machine, this, all things considered, is, in
their opinion, the most desirable one to be
had
The hrshot of the whole matter was that
the old machine was disposed Of and the
Iight-ltunning New Home" installed in
our household. 1t is pronounced a genuine
beauty and real comfort, and "our folks
wanted lis to tell other folks about it.

Congress is moving along toward

several important bills but these could
not be satisfactorily arranged for both,
by either long or short delay.

The ACT Of 1870 regulating gaming
has the general appearance of other
Acts; nevertheless, it is question
whether it was not repealed slmultane.
oIsly with its passage.
Restrictions, Arenses, ETC., are pro-
yided, and everything seems to be all
right until the last clause is reached.
This clause says: GAN Acts and parts
Of Acts in relation TO this Act are
hereby repealed"
Without doubt, it was intended that
tho above should read Gin conflict with
this Act" but it is notso printed in the
Statute book, and that is declared by
the Legislature to be of full authority
In Courts OF Justice.
1t is grave question among law.
yers whether the mistake does not have
the effect Of destroying the force of the
Act to the same extent as would the
striking out Of the enacting clause.

George Thomas, who has been pros

vein about four miles south of Sun

link between Aurora and Bodie, and
proves that a continuous ore.channel
exists between the Two places. The
recent storm compelled him 10 quit
work, which he will not be able to re-
