hide and seek among the half rotten piles

is leaving town. Great tram loads OF peo-
pie are daily Steaming away to Saratoga
and Newport, and the scores Of summer re-
sorts that are free from malaria aud bugs.
Somehow the bugs never bother summer

Governor Hoadly,
of Ohio, here yesterday. He is well now.
He has been for several months. His phys
ical condition is such that he eau, on
| clear day, from Ohio view the White
House. On cloudy days he sees big plush
| chair in the Senate chamber. Some people
are skeptical enough to say it is simply
mirage that enraptures his vision and that
little Johnny Mclean will waken him from
| his dream. 1t may be true. Mclean isn't
married yet. Neither is Hoadly'S daugh,
ter. Both may be some day-but not to
each other. Putting this and that together,

Still Governor Hoadly looks well. He
| walked up to the clerks desk At the GiIsey
house Yesterday dressed in a gray business
suit and leghorn hat.
| He had the appearance Of a prosperous
| country merchant. He refused to talk poll
| ties with newspaper men and said politics
| did not interest him. But later in the day
he had long interview with Mr. Mooney,
John Kelly's private secretary. Perhaps
Mr.. Mooney has specific for malaria.
| Governor Hoadly is on his way to deliver
the annual idress before the Yale law
| school President WOolsey, OF Yale, is the
only brother of Mr. Hoadlys mother.
| Roscoe Conkling.
II is pretty generally understood that Mr..
Conkling will support Mr.. Blaine. To be
more exact he will not oppose him. Conk-
| ling is not mashed on Blaine. He would
not take off his collar to hurrah for the
| great "Tattooed." But he will not take the
stump against him. Probably he will not
even vote the Republican ticket But he
will say nothing against it. For this yalua-
| lie service he is 10 be allowed to return to
the Senate The hall breeds have consented
| to it. Collector Robertson is authority for
this statement. What sight that would
be- Roscoe Conklng marching up the
aisles Of the Senate chamber TO take the
oath of Office, his red cravat blushing sweet
" at the famous curl. Ye gods on old
| OLYMPUS what sight! 1t would need bat

Garfield TO make it an immortal scene. But

was doing the best possible thing for his
COUNTRY. But why; oh, why did he decline

cratic party could have gone to the seaside,
or up into the White mountains or any
where they chose, and had money to pay
their way, until after the convention. Nov
We must stay at home and "fgger" on pos

cuss. Sometimes be lives out West, then

A TiIden Possibility.
saw petition to-day signed by great
number of Republicans and Democrats
calling for mass meeting to urge the nom
nation of Tilden in spite Of his deciination.
Strange, isn't it2 Millions Of people have
more confidence in the old man sick, than
| in jim Blaine strong and hearty. Itwont
surprise me if Tilden is nominated. He
NAV decline. But he should be nominated.
The mass meeting win be the biggest thing
in New York politics this year. In the
| event of Tildens non-nomination, or his
| absolute declination, il is well understood
that IL New York presents Mr.. Clevelands
name in sincerity he will be nominated.
