citation of new word within seven years, and the
final form hit upon in defiance of the analoges of
the language, and against all the other leading
photographers, expose the editors OF WeDsters
Dictionary to just criticism.
Manton Marble has been in Albany calling upon
Mr. Cleveland. 1t is understood that his visit had
nc political signifcance-he merely went up to ask
the Presidentelect what he thought Of the idea OF

Exposition.
Many of our contemporaries are warmly COM

evidently disinclined to sacrifice herself in the

story was recently circulated in Democratic
circles with n view to hurting ex Governor Waller
with the incoming National Administration, to the
effect that the gentleman in question made CON-
promising overtures to General Butler during the
recent Presidential campaign. The TRIBUNE, in
mentioning it, raised doubt to its correctness.
And now The ,c-Lond0n Telegram representing
Mr. Waller and speaking with the emphasis and
drectness so characteristic Of the Little Giant of
Connecticut" declares the rumor "a malicious
lie" fabricated by "a cowardly enemy" whose
personality and purpose are clearly understood by
the Ex-Governor. Really. il begins to look rs If
Mr. Barnurn's soft Establishments had been less
eifectual with Mr.. Waller than with Congressman
Mitchell, and that the godfather of the Morey
letter forgery had been resortipg to his old-time
methods of warfare, to nJure formidable rival for
the leadership of the Connecticut Democracy. No
one knows better than the chairman Of the National
Bourbon Committee how much Mr.. Cleveland
really owes to Mr.. Walters tact, energy aud loyal

out adequate leadership will probably move Mr.
Edmunds and Mr. ingalls, to wonder whether they
think they have been adequately led before.
There is n faint report from Albany that the
South is not altogether satisfied with Lamar. Gar

Governments. This pretty Illusion vanished IN

latest pressure from the South, Mr. Cleveland must

A Democratic State Senator from Indiana has just
