The completely OF the political situa

1t seems to be somewhat difficult for
the Democratic national committee to
make Mr.. Hendricks understand that he
is not the first vIolinist in the Demo-
cratic orchestra. 1t is one of the stFik-
ing pecullarities of his party to always
utalIze amateur talent In the selection
of leaders.
Belva Lockwood has written a letter
accepting the nomination for president
at the hands of the Woman's National
Equal Rights party. In volume it
strikes a happy medium between the
Butler and Hendricks Examinations, but
for delightful assurance it offers a
challenge which even st. John might
well hesitate to tackle.

Smith NJ. Weed makes the statement
that Mr.. Cleveland impaired to him the
secret that he found his ideas much en-
larged after having enjoyed the inyigor-
ating climate of the Adirendacks. Such
a shameless violation of confidence
should be denounced by every fairmind-
ed man In the country, irrespective of
party or previous condition of political
utilization.
