Mr.. Hendricks letter Of acceptance IS
model document. 1t will excite no dis
cussion. Mr.. Hendricks says that he ac-
cepts the nomination and approves the
platform. What need is there for him to
say more? What else could he say that
would be SO satisfactory? Why should
he write a two-column essay as Logan
did, Mr.. Hendricks has a record which
the country knows by heart. 1t is a
record Of which he has reason to feel
proud. The country knows what he will
do il elected. 1t does not need to be told
bv him. He approves the principles
of his party as set forth in the platform.
II he did not he would not, Of
course, accept the nomination. Why
should he restate those principles in a
letter accepting the nomination, or sup
plement them, or elaborate them? He
showed wisdom in not doing so, and
Cleveland showed wisdom in not attempt
ing to improve upon the conventions
work. The letters Of acceptance being
aIIin, or at least all that are expected,
let the campaign music begin, and let US
hear less about scandals and more about
principles.

There is nothing in the constitution of the
United states, as there was nothing in the
intention of the constitution makers, which
requires that the electoral vote of airy state
shall be rendered as unit. Gen. Butler de-
fines policy for the campaign which will give
full effect TO the ballots of his supporters in
every state of the Union where the advice IS
followed. His plan. in brief, is fusion every
where with the supposed minority, on the
distinct understanding that if the fusion
ticket prevails, the electoral vote of the state
shall be divided between Butler and his
allied candidate in that State in the ratio of
their respective votes at the polls. The sug-
.estiou. in the present condition OF parties,
carries with il the possibility Of interesting,
if not astonishing results.

Malone does not appear to be as big
man as he was few months ago. When
the delegates TO the Chicago Convention
were being elected and for considerable
time before that period, he was regarded
as a very important person. 1t waseNeh
thought probable that if he should secure
the control Of the delegation from his state
he would be able to give the nomination to
Mr.. Arthur. He made great saerihees 10 gel
the delegation. He was forced to cease
masouerading as Readjuster, and TO an
nouuce himself boldly as Republican.
That announcement was a blow TO his
mower in Virginia from which he will
never recover. The Readjusters aban-
doned him in great numbers and re-
turned 10 the Democratic party. The
Republicans never liked him, and
hence did not rally around him with
increased enthusiasm because of his pro-
fession Of Republican faith. The Repub-
lican leaders are jealous Of him, and will
ship. Dezendorf and Wickham
feel that they have been sighted
on Mahone's account when they should
have been honOred, and they will be
happy only when they have driven him
into retirement. Some of the younger
Readjusters have remained with Malone,
but they don't like being classed as Re-
publicans. Riddleberger, the junior Nir-
ginia Senator. is said to be feeling his
way back to the Republican party, He
would probably get there very quickly If
Cleveland should be elected President
He is pretty certain to get there even
tually whether Cleveland is elected or
not.
Malone is managing the Repub-
lican campaign in Virginia.
He Is having some trouble with his cleo
tOral ticket. 1t doesn't make much diff
ference, however, whether it is arranged
satisfactorily or not. 1t hasn't any
chance whatever of being elected. The
Democrats have Virginia and they are
| certain to retain control Of it. The elm
ination of Malone from Virginia politics
will not be regretted. He has never
aimed to advance the interests of the
| State OF to benefit the people. From the
beginning of his political career his OBJ
| ject has been TO advance himself. The
people have no regrets for that sort of a
man when he passes on the stage Of
| action,

BY refusing to extend the time for paying
the whisky tax Congress has only subjected
the distillers TO a little more expense in CON-
pelIing them to send their whisky abroad for
a temporary sojourn. That is all. Had the
proposition for tax extension been made in
behalf Of any other commodity thus enOr-
mousIy taxed its equity would have been
universally recognized. But because the pro-
duct in question was whisky the opportunity
for a cheap display of demagOgy and cant in
opposing the bill for extending payment OF
tax could not be resisted.

A Passaic N. j. lady who keeps
bOarders hired a new cook a few
weeks ago, with whom she was delighted.
One night last week she lost the valu-
able domestic through an accident which
was both novel and exciting. The mis-
tress had occasion to enter the cooks
room about the retiring hour. There she
saw her cook partially disrobed, but in
stead Of having the night garments APP
propriate to her supposed sex she had on
those of a man, in fact, she was man,
who had disguised himself in order to get
employment. The lady was so surprised
that she screamed and aroused the house,
when, of course, the cook was forced to
leave.

The Republicans in Indiana appear TO
be somewhat ratified. Calkins, their good
looking candidate for Governor, is already
on the defensive. He has been charged
with trying to cheat his creditors and
with levying blackmail on a Postmistress.
IL is said that he cannot make a square
denial to either charge. The Indiana part
Of the aggressive Republican campaign
appears to be a failure.

The Old Leaders.

The old leaders Of neither the Demo-
cratic nor the Republican party have
taken as vet a very active part in the
campaign. On the Republican side not
a word has been heard from Grant,
ConkIing, Don Cameron, Foster and a
dozen others who have played con-
spicuous parts in previous Presidential
campaigns. Are they to be brought to
the front later on? Even the voice of
John Sherman has not yet been heard. Is
it his purpose TO let the grand old party
be wrecked without extending a helping
hand? Sherman has some reason to feel
aggrieved, but then all the leaders cannot
have a Presidential nomination.
1t is probable, that, now Cleveland's
letter OF acceptance has made its appear
ance. the canvass in his interest will soon
begin in earnest. The statement that the
old leaders are suIking because a COM
paratiyely new and unknown man was
chosen TOR the standard-bearer has no
foundation in fact. They will take
hand in campaign work, doubtless,
before long. They are only waiting until
the programme Of the campaign is COM
pleted.

The Evidence of Cannibalism Found in
Kislingbury's Body.
In continuing their examination of
Lieut.. Kislingbury's body, says a Ro-
chester, New York, special of Aug. Is,
Drs. Charles Buckley, F. A. Vaudeville,
and James Buckley have had recourse to
the microscope in examining the contents
of the intestines. They have found here
woody fibre, cellulose. spiral fibres Of air
vessels of plants, shells and mineral sub
stances, striped muscular tissue, epider-
mis-, red blood corpuscles, and oil glo-
bules.
eve believe" said the physicians,
''that the epidermis and muscular tissue
found was that of a human being, the
epdermis contrasting exactly with cpl
dermis taken from the arm of one of us
and put under the microscope. The It's
sue presented the same characteristics as
laid down in plates of eminent authors,
and while we cannot say positively that
Lieut.. Kislingbury partook Of human
flesh, yet deductions warranted to be
drawn from the admissions of the survi-
vors of the expedition, the scarcity or
entire absence of food from the camp, and
the large quantities of epidermis and
striped muscular tissue found by us sat
isfy US that the story OF cannibalism was
a truthful one. What we under a magni-
flying glass on Friday last thought was
hair under the microscope seems more
like vegetable fibre. Kislingbury's physi-
cal condition, just previous to hfs death,
was such that perfect or even approx
mate digestion was impossible"
The examination of the body of Lieut..
Kislingbury in the chapel of Mount Hope
Cemetery on Thursday last was nearly
completed when DR.. Buckley broke the
silence and said: "Gentlemen, the dissec-
ton of that body was the work of an ex-
pert. There was no hacking with knives,
but it was the work of a sharp scalpel in
the hands of a clever anatOmist. Gentle
men, DR.. PAWS work is before you"
DIR. MandeYille-"It was the work of an
artist. Nearly every hgament and ten
don was utilized"
A person present said: ''Dr. PaYy died
before Lieut.. Kislingbury, and your con-
illusions are therefore wrong"

vile again expressed the Oh y that
