 column and half eulogizing himself
 and declining the Democratic nomina-
 ton Tor President. He settles the ques-
 ton about his health and strength, and
 refers to 1t frequently in hIs letter, clos
 ing; Having given to their welfare
 Whatever of health and strength I pos-
 sessed or could borrow from the future.
 and having reached the term of my csp-
 aeiiy Tor such labors as their welfare now demands, I but submit to the will ot God in deeming my public career forever closed" It Is rather q sad letter. but the old man has more sense than his entire party possess and though en- ieeoied as be acknowledges he is, he has strength enough to say to them he can not and will not be candidate. Eyi- dently the old gentleman does not relish the thought of being made tool of SD that another might be elected and reign Tn the White House in a few
 uOhtus alter the election, should the old man get there. He don't love Tom Hendricks enough to die for him; nor does it seem he loves the Democratic party enough to die for II, or perhaps, wiser foresight than this foreshadows disastrous defeat, either of which would be death to Mir. Hidden. Take 1t all in all, the letter, though weak Tn many respects is wise in ifs cOnclusioD-the old man will not die for the Democratic party. In that the country will applaud him. fl for nothing else. But what Is to become of the Democratic patty! Will the torch bearers in the processions of the wear mourning and the bands play toe dead march? Farewell, Uncle may the peace that passath all understanding be with you now and forever more, you have relieved the minds of many people and they should be grateful. 1t Is now in order for the numerous aspirants to come to the front and bid for the prize

A LOT o' sOrehead Republicans. so. called Independents and Ben Butler Democrats got together in Boston Massachusetts, and resolved not tc support Blaine and Logan. Such action IS an old trick of the De. mocracy; having failed, however. so often in the past to accomplish any. thing politically by such movements, one would suppose they would hardly apply the old plaster again. It won't draw any better Eow than it did in the Greeley campaign. Blame and Logan will carry Massachusetts by a large ma- jority, and all the capital the Democ- racy can make out of soreheaded Re publicaus th ' are perfectly welcome to. There will be a very few of these by the time tEe election comes about.

IT IS sad sight nowadays to see q Democrat. All hope has fled since Iilden swesrs he wont die for the party Butler, the only man they could get uI hurrah for Is a pill they can't swollow. There is no war-hoop iu Thurman, aud Bayard Is as cold as au iceberg, or John sherman: Carlisle would die first before he would permit Randall to becoms the man and the Pennsylvania and Ohio Democrats would howl like mad before Carlisle should receive the nomination, and the California Democrats have shelved poor Field, and in q disgraceful manner. They might go down south and select an ex-Bregedier who would carry the solid south and more fully represent their party. It would be but justice to that section for the Democracy to honor 1t once in twenty years. Their susten- ance has mostly been drawn from that part of the country.
