WASHINGTON, Jaly 3l.-[exclusiye] The
necessity of answering an imaginary inter
view is something like alawsuit for breach
of promise wheif you never saw the female
It's annoying and it costs.
Personal. ----.
A Washington newspaper reporter makes
Maj. McMahon, of the REGIsTER, answer
questions which were never asked. THIS,
in justice to the reporter who failed to do
himself justice. -,, Co.,
How easy it is to take away mans rep
utationl How hard to restore it. The man
who undertakes to catch up with a lie, goes
on fruitless mission.g q -
Every man who is habitually holding out
for his rights makes himself the equal of
his interiors; and he must take the conse-
uuences, which are far from pleasant.
a pugnacious man is far less disagreea-
bic than defensive man.
= Utopia. ~EF7 ENt
Henry Watterson, who wanted a. free
trade plank in the platform, and didn't get
it, now says he is satisfied. Mr.. Randall who
wrote the tariff clauses on the back of an
envelope, on his way to Chicago is the most
completely satisfied man in the party. The
arti-free traders. on the Committee on Res
olutions, principally Converse, of Ohio.
Davis, ofWest Virginia, Hay, of Pennsylva-
MIA, and Burke, Of Louisiana, saved the
party from being unimericanized.
Eating Dirt.
A disappointed politician must needs
have good digestion, for be must either kick
or eat dirt The necessity that compells a
fellow to be satisfied and ratify, is hard
dose.
The Campaign.
Indeed this seems TO be the era of gener
al satisfaction among party leaders. Ex.
Congressman, Martin I. Townsend, Of
Troy, n. T., tells me that the Republicans
up his way are happy. II am full of JOY"
he said to me, "over the nomination of
Cleveland as the Democratic candidate.
He is the weakest man for his party for
whom they could have pledged their sup.
port. think he will draw but few votes
from us A, few, here and there, will act
like fools and vote for Cleveland to spite
some one; bat think these will be. very
few. Good men have prayed for Cleveland's
nomination. II has come and we are
glad." .....- ...-.-.-.' a. Mn
United States Marshal Tuomey. Of South
Carolina, who is an Irishman by birth, said
to me yesterday: Il have just come from
New York, after putting a brace Of prison
ers in the Albany Penitentisry. made it
my duty to talk, generally, 10 Iishnen
about the feeling they had for Cleveland. j
can assure you that was amazed to hear
how some Of them denounced him. Men
who have always been Democrats swore
they d never vote for him When l asked
them if they d vote for Blaine they said for
Butler in preference to Blaine, but for
Blaine or anybody in preference to Cleve-
land don't think it will be John Kelly
who will defeat Cleveland if be loses New
York by very heavy majority, and yet
Kelly viii be cursed tor it.
e Kelly
Before the Chicago convention Mr.. Kelly
told me in a way which thought was far
from prejudice or passion. that in opposing
Cleveland he only regarded the result that
would come of his norsination He told
me, too that Cleveland had the opposition
Of the workingmen and whether this op2o-
sition was Just orunjust the result would be
the same-they would not support him, and
that he was favored man who had not the
enmity of these men. He wanteds man
free from oil entanglements and Cleveland
was not such acne.
-rH.. me- other sidel
There is Just as much satisfaction among
the leaders on the other side. Cleveland
says Col. William. r. Morrison, "is sure to
be elected. He is. gaining every day AMI
will grow stronger and stronger as the cam
paign advances. am quite certain of the
election of our ticket" Mr. Randall, who
threw the Pennsylvania delegation into the
breach that was being made i'm Ciegeisnd's
ranks by the Hendricks flank movement
says that the reformation of the Govern
ment in all its branches is worth all the
other issues; that Cleveland'is young man
and has the will, the energy and the strength
to bring about such reformation.
Mud Flinging.
The mud fingers and. tattoo fends have
gathered together like buzzards over
the carcass Off dead buffalo. They live,
ike ourselves, upon carrion andlseu Of that,
upon the stench.of theirsown Glthiness.-
Justice is necessarily anlaggressiVe virtue.
The self constituted righteous ones are,
in a way, kind Of mud fingers, too, aud
what vanity these fellows. have butwe will
not be surprised at that Vanity is not a
monopoly. 1t is as universal . law Of the
mental and moral worlds as graTitation is
of the material.

Life is sehtom so varied OF so adveutur-

have room in threeseore years to do more
than give specimens Of what he might be
and will be. r-r
There is hardly q man or woman in the
world Who has not got some corner Of self

Its the privilege of any rufian to abuse
