The amiablo and innocent looking gentle-
man from Ohio still insists that he Is not q
candidate for the presidency, but his son
made a big bid for an organ In New York,
just the same. Maybe 1t is the son who Is q
candidate --SieubetrUe Gdsctto.
The Springfield Republican demonstrates
with republicans as furiously as hen that
has Matched ducks; but the ducks rush pell
nell into the water all tho same and heed
not the cackled warnings of the incidental
mother OH tho shore.-Aibdny Argus,
One serious difficulty with the presidential
booms that exist mainly in newspaper
offices is the fact that tho only people who
can be affected by the newspapers in question
/ got tired of their candidates before tho time
for action arrives.-NeD York Mail aud Express.

Of machine politics in Georgia, and when tho

1t would DO losing policy to lead the
democratic party on false trail by holding
out hope of Mr.. Tilden's eventual willing
ness to run for the presidency only to have It
dashed to the ground in July. In order that
30 dangerous disappointment may be
averted, why can we not know the truth at

IfTildeu could warm up his love for Hon.
bricks and gracefully retire to put Hendricks
at the head Of the ticket the cause would be
stronger than with Tilden at the front in u

Mr.. Armstrong of Cleveland, BILLY" Arm

regard Mr.. Payne as a presidential candidate,
because Mr.. T. had said he did not want it.

In view Of the prevailing belief that con-
gress is purposely delaying legislation, and
thereby extending its session until after the
republican convention, with the expectation
of getting a chance to mako q raid on the
platform then adopted, it is we'll to consider
that the republicans have it in their power to
keep congress in session until alter the dem
ocratic convention shall meet on the eighth OF
July.-SprinGfeId (0hio) Globe.
The free trade democrats do not appear to
be much disheartened by the result in Has
kell's old district in Kansas. Six thousand
majority for Funston, protective tariff re-
publican, does not scare the free traders off
tho track. The leaders of the democratic
party have their eyes set on theory, and
will either carry out their views or wreck the
party of rebellion. Wait until they hear

No party can oppose the popular Judgment
and expect to bask in the sunshine of public
favor. The democratic party is melancholy
illustration Of this fact. For years and years
it has run counter to the public judgment
IL has sought to substitute its ideas and will
for those of the people and, as consequence
has been a constant object of distrust As
such it will remain until its leaders learn
to listen to and obey the voice Of the people

This is probably an exact statement Of thu
