Exploration of New Guinea.

y = y 'In ~connexion with the Waltham
Watch Company, it may be stated that when
the proprietors of The Age desired to present
Mr.. G. E.. Morrison (the explorer of Me-
Guinea) with a reliable ~chronometer, acting
upon the advice of Mr.. r. l. j. Ellery, the Gov
eminent Astronomer, two Waltham were, now
ever, procured for Mr.. Morrison instead.
These were kept at the Melbourne Observatory
for a fortnight, and thoroughly and carefully
tested, and were pronounced by Mr.. Ellery, al
the end of that time, to be better suited for Mr..
Morrison's requirements than any chrome
meter. Extract from the Melbourne Age.

Mr.. Blaine has, reports from Augusta
say, been using violent language about
his national committee men, going 30 far
even at one time as to speak of them IS a
pack OF fools. And now comes Mr.. John
1. Davenport, and confirms, in part at
least, Mr.. Blains's judgment.
In letter from Mr. Davenport, which
we print elsewhere, be ttsi ky EXPIRE sses
bis opinion that Stephen B Bkins twas

decide questions which arose and 80
deficient in executive capacity as to have
inevitably and unavoidabiy committed
serious blundsrs In the canvass, and hii
defscts in these respects were 80 glarinl
that, In my judgment, the conduct OF 9

results being attained"
| We do not prop se to question the cor
reotness oil Mr.. Dsvenport's judgment o
Mr.. Eskins, bus compliment Mr.. Blaine OIL
having his own opinions SO far confirmed
Irdeed, remembering that Mr.. Eikip
engineered the little scheme by which Mr.
Blaine was nominated at Chicsgo, ant
considering the tremendous falling off Il
the Republican vote caused by that nomi
nation, We strongly incline to agree witt
Mr.. Davenport. A man who nominate
Mr.. Blaine with the notion that he woul
"sweep the country" would nndoubtedl
fail in the conduct Of even so humble

Mondays Philadelphia Times cites a
few pertinent facts from the political his
tory OF past presidential contests in this
country which may serve as 4 profitable
lesson to Mr.. Blaine in his present absurd
and highly undignifed attitude toward
the vote Of New York. Viewed in the
light OF these facts, Mr.. Cleveland's
plurality Of about l 200 is by no means
unprecedented close, for we find that in
1850 Washington Hunt was elected gov
ernor of New York by only 262 majority.
Horatio Ssymou was the defeated candi-
date and quietly, with dignity and
patriotism submitted gracefully to the re
suit. Two yeSrs later Mr.5eymour defeated
Hunt by large majority, but was again
defeated in 1854 by Clark by 300 on the
official count. Seymour was then gov.
ernor, with Democratic power in every
department, but second time he quietly
submitted to the will of the people with
out protest. In the Harrison Van Buren,
campaign, Pennsylvania gave a majority
OF only 349 ever the latter, who
who was then President, welding the
whole political power of the nation, but
there was no thought of resistance to the
popular verdict, Again, in 1874, the
electoral vote Of Tennessee was given to
Clay on the bare majority Of 113. 1t was
Folks pstiVe state and the contest was
one OF unsxsmpled bitterness, but there
was no cry Of fraud.
In Psnnsylvania sgain, in 1848 John.
son, the Wing candidate was elected
governor over LoDRstrsth, Democrat, by
. majority Of 305 on the official count.
Massachusetts, furnishes a striking ex.
ample OF = peaoeabie and dignifed sub.
mission to the expressed will Of the ma.
jorisy on close vote. In 1889 Edward
Everett was defeated by Morton fol
governor by only two majority,
There was Wing legislature into
which q change Of one vote would
have thrown the contest, and thus secure
the success Of Everett, who was then the
governor Of the state with all the requisite
political and partisan machinery in his
hands to reverse the result, but there
was only one thing that prevented such
a course. He was an honest man and q
patriot and knew that majority Of two
was as valid IS majority o
100000. There are quite a number
Of other examples Of lik,
nature, but these are sufficient
In his forthcoming second volume o
"Twenty Years In Congress, Mr.. Blaine

sufficiently to draw some very interestin,
parallels concerning small mAjorities, ant
the actions Of defeated candidates in re
lation thereto.

At IL O'Clock yesterday morning Mr..

call attention to it. In 10 inmates he'd

Absurd, bombastic, cruel, dirty, forosd
as this might be, it was nevertheless an
exponent OF the popular indication Of

Field and all the monopolistio gang were

and sitting the voice of the public. Il
was noticed that many of the bulletins

credited to the Western Union Telegraph
Company rather than TO the Associated
Press, and many queries were pat as tc
the meaning Of that report, the universs
answer beins that "Jay Gould YVES doc

idea obtained lodgment in the publi'

Iunttce 20 John Kelly.

Our Democratic contemporaries should be |
careful not to overetep the bounds OF truth |
and justice in their illusions to John Kelly.
1t has yet to be shown that he had any part
in or knowledge Of the treachery in New
York City. From what is disclosed it is fair
TO assume that the County Democracy did
more of the crooked work than Tammany.-
Boston Post,
We are inclined to agree with the FoSt
in this matter. The fact that the
TRmmsny ticket was defeated by 10000
votes certainly goes far to exonerate
John Kelly from any well-founded
suspicion of trfachery; while, on the
other hand, in just the same degree that
it releases him it duplicates the County
Democracy in q treachery far more
despicsble than John Kelly has ever
been accused Of. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Cleveland was especially
the nominee Of the County Democracy /;
while John Kelly fought with all
his strength against that nomination and
gave his reasons for his opposition
openly, fully and Aggrsssively. II will
bs remembered just as clearly that
this very opposition was an important
factor in Mr.. ClevelRnd's nomination
that the disposition Of the majority Of
the convention to "sit down on Johr
"Kelly" exercised a potent and ial
reaching influence. That Mr.. Kelly
"sulkedh for weeks is indisputable
that he finally subordinsted himself AND
used his influence to subordinate tn,
organisation with which he is connected
to the will of his party and to the sup
port of It's electoral ticket
borne out by his own expires
and positive declarations. That tn
Tsmmany ticket could and would hav
been elected had the trading with th
Republicans been done by that organizI
! tion, we regard as exceedingly probable
l that II visa defeated goes very far toward
showing that the greater part, II not IL
whole, Of such trading must be laid I
the doorE Of the County Democracy. AM
until the latter organization has sdduce
: very strong evidence to clear Its skirt
it will be very unjust to blame Mr.. Keli
in the fAcs of strong presumptive inn
u cence, for the diminution OF Cleveland
rightful vote in New York City.
