TALLY decomposed. Murphy had eaten
only small portion Of the chicken, and
another member OF the family who ate
heartily has not yet been attacked. Mrs.
Murphy also ate very sparlngly of the
chicken and several circumstances seem
to indicate intentional poisoning by some
outside party, and several physicians de-
clare that ptyalne poisoning could not

How to effect harmonious settlement of
the wrangle over the Boston relationship is
one of the questions of craftsmanship which
viii confront Mr.. Cleveland on his return
from the woods. Months before Mr. Endicott
was thought of as member of the Cabinet,
and was only plain Democrat with more or
less Influence" at his command, he pledged
his support to one Leverett Saltonstall an
estimable and highly respected citizen, who
had fixed his eye en- the custom-house plum.
Knowing nothing of this, or regardless of it,
the ring of politicians, mugwumpian amp
Democratic, who united in recommending
Endicott, and consider themselves his makers,
respectable, as their candidate for the col
lectorship. When they began to press their
claims" collision followed. Mr.. Endicott
declares that if he has not enough influence
with the administration to control the appoint
ment of collector he ought not to remain in
the Cabinet, and will resign. AS the ring is
by no means ready to resign its hopes the
situation is growing painful and crisis is
imminent. Pending settlement of the diff
Guilty it might be well for some of the emf
nent mugwump organs to revamp their old
editorials on the exceeding sinfulness of using
collectorship for party purposes and involv-
ing the administration therein, miles Of which
were written in times past and applied to the
New York Office and Republican officials.
With very little trouble these can be adapted
to the present situation in Boston, and will be
equally applicable. 1t may cause the mug
wump heart some pangs to be forced to re-
Duke so good and pure man as Mr.. Endicott,
one who is so nearly one of themselves, for
practices just like those of corrupt and ras-
cally" Republicans; but they will reflect that
the best of men, as recent events have shown,
may make mistakes"
