starts out by asserting that Won Hoist has a total
want OF perception OF American character and pur

his frst acts was to have his declaration of Intending

returned here for longer period? that he came to

The picture of Democratic corruption
drawn by Senator Hoar in his recent talk to
the Boston Republicans rivals his scathing
philippe against Republican venality in
his oration inspeaching Secretary Belknap.
President Cleveland was described as max.
ing appointments of unworthy persons to
control the elections, and pardonirg con.
victs to corrupt the ballot-box. With Spar
tan firmness the Boston moralist declared that
If two other men could be found to Join him,
he proposed the trio should "labor until we
have convinced the American people that
1t is their duty TO return to the old policy
The old policy referred to is of course the
Republican policy, under which appoint
ments were made for every purpose under
the sun, except the good of the service, when
the Eph Hollands were pardoned, and the
Dorseys conveniently acquitted. Senator
Hoar isacultured man, and sometimes quotes
from Sir Walter Scott. We recommend to
him the reperusal of "The Fortunes of Nigel
wherein King James the First relates how
Buckingham, the prohigate, lectures on
female virtue and Prince Charles on dis
stimulation. go Geordie, Jipgling Geor-
die" says the King, Z" it was grand to
hear Baby Charles laying down the guilt
"of dissimulation, and Steenie lecturing on
the turpitude of incontinence." 1t was
equally grand to hear Satan reproving sin,
or Hoar denouncing political immortality.
Senator Hoar will beat Methusaleh's record
if he lives to see the day when his trio have
convinced the American people that the
Presidents appointments have been made
from improper motives.

Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depsw has brought for
ward as candidate for Governor Of New
York General William II. Seward, son of the
late Secretary of State, who for time acted
as private secretary to his father when the
latter was in the United States Senate.
Young Seward served with distinction in the
Union Army, rising to the rank of brigadier
general, conferred upon him for patriotic
and gallant service.' He is now banker
OF large means. Mr.. Depew is far-sseing
man, and has at his back the largest mon

see that his purpose in advocating the nomi-
nation of Seward for Governor looks beyond
to 1855. II Seward should be elected Coy
ernor this fall, it would be difficult to prevent
his nomination by the next Republican Ma
tional Convention.

Mr.. John Cordy Jeaffreson's book, "The Real
Shelly: New Views Of the Poets Life,n is not being
very kindly received by the London reviewers The
general verdict seems to be that the author carried
his frankness to the last limit in his book on The
Real Lord Byron" and that in his new work he has
gone too FAR. "He shows u.s." as the LITERARY
World lLondon) says, not the real Shelley, but the
real MT. Jeanreson." In 9l3 pages he takes the
poet, real and ideal, to pieces, and crushes him to
