ing of business men in New York
which indorsed President Arthur for
nomination. The original plan had
IN entirely different object in view.
The idea of holding q business meet
ing was, it is said, first conceived by
MI. Conkling, and the man to be en-
dorsed was to be U. s. Grant. This
was the plan and understanding so
often and mysteriously referred to by
Mr.. Bedford of Colorado, who is &C.
credited with being In the confidence
Of Mi. Conkling. The design was to
conceal the real object of the meeting
until the last moment, and then all
q sudden, as if by enthusiastic inn
pulse, go over to Grant with a rush.
The result was looked for by Grants
and they were completely be-
vildered when they lost control OF
he scheme and the meeting was
allied and Arthur Endorsed. The
of Grant & Ward is given as
be cause Of the failure of the plan.

In speaking of the recent English
Derby, Truth says: Never before in
the one hundred and four Yeas of
the English Derby has the finish re-
suited in q dead heat. It was one ofthe
greatest upsets, in a betting point of
view, that has ever occurred. There
was also another great surprise in the
contest, and that was the wretched
showing that "Plunger" Walton's
Richmond made, who, despite the
fact that ten to one was laid against
him In England, was supported in
America to win a fortune. Walton
Is a shrewd man In some things, but
he has evidently got to the end of
his tether so far as horse racing is
concerned.

by a number of prominent socialists
who, during the course of their

upon the workingmen. The speakers
also advised continued agitation by
workingmen for the reduction of the

Gen. Sherman at Home.

1t Is said the old fellow never
grOwls or swears, audiDly at least,
while going through his mail and
newspaper clippings and marked par
agraphs, except when so'ue fling at
the Catholicism of his wife is seen, or
when any reference whatever, how
ever kindly, is made IT, her religion.
Not that he has any religion of bis
own, but he regards his wife's reiig-
ion, as indeed 1t is, "nobody's busi>
ness." And thereby hangs a tale
1t is well known ind ed here that but
for that Gen. Sherman would have
long since settled all this talk about
his running for the presidency by
such a clear, strong, ringing, unmis-
taxable emphatic utterance as should
have rendered it impossible to have
ever named. him in print again in
connection with the presidency. But
this nettles the old fellow. Some of
the pleasant paraeraphers do not
know how old Tecumseh WOrshins

A friend of his is reported to have
said to him IL day: General, if it
were not that your wife is a Catholic
nothing could keep you out of the
White House." He turned around
livid with suppressed rage, aud
bringing his old iron fist down On
the desk before him, exclaimed in
thunder tones: zine - you say!

there can be none between any two
of the other candidates. OF the two
most prominent candidates Blaine
will come the nearest to achieving
success, If he does not quite succeed.
He has q longer following of dele
gates than Arthur, but the latter's
adherents are better disciplined and
may wresc victory from the Plumed
Knight by superior generalship.
One fact will greatly add to Blaine's
strength, nearly all his followers
come from States which furnish Re- !
publican majorlties, and hence Re-
publican enthusiasm.
Arthur has a pretty solid Southern
phalanx Of State delegations. His
strength will come almost
from south Of the Ohio and
Potomac a fact which will not COM
mend his candidacy to the delegations
rom the Northern and Western
.tates, which must elect him if he
an be elected. Logan is practically
