Senator Vest has been AT Jefferson
City, this week, on business before the
supreme court. The senator looks
we'll, and never held a warmer place in
the hearts OF the people OF Missouri
than he does to-day. In the senate he
never suffers a SANDER against his state
or section to go unrebuked, and ON
matters of national economy always
speaks strongly and effectively. HIS
recent speech on free ships is the
ablest contribution to the literature on
that subject that has been made for
years. The talk Of defeating Vest for
reelection is all moonshine. There is
not a man i'll Missouri who can carry
one-fourth Of the state against him
and it is to be said to his credit toe
that his admirers are not confined to
his own party.

The New York Times is a republican
newspaper, but it is not so far partisan
as to be blind to reason and common
sense. 1t said, Wednesday:-"The op
position to Mr.. Morrison was very ap-
propriately opened by Judge Kelley.
OF all the mel in the house he is prob
ably the only one who could have talk
| ed absolute nonsense with the sincerity
of a fanatic, and the boldness of uncOn-
scious ignorance. 1t must have been
some comfort to Morrison to see1 his
opponents in his own party compelled
to follow such a leader. Undoubtedly
they will follow him. They have
thrown away reason, and not even the
Righteousness of falling in behind a
man who prays that America may never
get access to foreign markets, and who
hopes to see the country isolated will
change their minds. But there must
be some satisfaction for the chairman
of the ways and means committee in
sect g them made conspicuously re-
sponsible for Mr.. kelley's absurdities.
1t is not certain how long the tariff de-
bate will last, but it was fairly summed
up in the speeches of Messrs. Morrison
and Kelley yesterday. Whatever ia to
be said on either side will not seriously
vary from the..lines they entered on,and
when it is over the bill will probably
be killed outright or amended to death,
and the case will be appealed to the

The New York Herald takes thi:

Of members of his own party as well

in spite of the many obstacles placed in
his path, he has gained his point. He
VOL in the caucus, his moderate views
on the Converse bill gained the day,
and now he sees his measure before the
house. The exciting events of yester-
day are fully told in our Washington
dispatches. That veteran tariff re-
former, Mr.. S. S. Cox, who had come
to the house from a sick room, was
fifty chosen TO preside. The vote was
close; SO close that a change of two
votes would have given a different re-
suit; but the Morrison following az
ried their point" Exactly and against
confident predictions that they couldn't.

The only thing MI. Tilden can say ia
that he does not want and will not &C.
cept the nomination. Saying it at all
he must say it positively. He is per-
fectly sincere, and he is right. Were
he to pursue any other course he would
place himself in the position of being
a candidate, of seeking the place. That
he cannot afford to do-he occupies too
exalted a position. He has only to ut
ter the faintest whisper Of acquiescence
to drive all other aspirants out of the
field. Why? Because he is the only
democrat of integrity and brains? Not
at ALL But because the presidency
was stolen from him in 1876, and be-
cause the great, generous, honest heart
of the American people recognizes the
fact, and intends to right the wrong. 1t
is more to the credit of the people that
this is true than it is even to Mr.. Til
denis honor. He occupies a position
with regard to the presidency which
no other man has been in since Geo.
Washingten-he has only to say that
he will accept it to receive it. His SER
vices will doubtless be of inestimable
value to the country in purifying its
public service and in calling it back to
Jeffersonian simplicity and honesty, but
the position cal only be an honor to
him now, personally, by coming to
him unsought by word, act, or deed.
And in that way the democratic party,
and the people, propose to tender it to
him. When they do SO he will not
say no. 1t is for these reasons, among
others, that the Tilden feeling among
democrats moves right along regardless
of the pilgrims to Gramercy Park and
their perfunctory reports of what is
there said and done. When the demo-
crazy wants to speak to Mr.. Tilden it
will address him in person. He has
never yet failed to respond to its call,
and he is too old to change his habits.
