TnE LrEuTEN vNT. GENERNL of the
Army honorcd the service and him
self yesterday afternoon in the selec
lions he made of Colonel Sanford G.
Kellogg and Captain Stanhopc f.
Blunt, to be his aides de camp with
the rank of lieutenant. colonies. The
CmTrC congratulates itself that one of
its nominees, Captain Blunt has been
selected, and while rcgrclting that its
advice to appoint Colonel Fred. w.
Bcnteen was not accepted, it joins the
service in admitting that the choice
OF Colonel Kellogg is very just and
happy one. Colonel Bentcen is the
older man and has more prominently
distinguished himself on the frontier
since the war, but Colonel Kellogg has
also n brilliant record a-iicld and Is
crippled from his hard work and expo
sure. 1t is probable that the selection
of Colonel Kellogg was also intended
as q graceful tribute to the gallant
General George II. Thomas, whose
relation and faithful aide this officer
was.
IT is with the greatest pleasure that
we note the progress of the voting for
different articles at the National Rifles
Fair. Up to the present writing our
esteemed contemporary, Brother Il,
W. Fox of the Ndti0Hdl Republican,
leads all competitors for the EDITORS
chair, which we trust is a very easy
and comfortable piece of furniture.
We have no doubt of Brother Fox's
successful candidacy. The chair, as a
sort of consolation purse for the way

back ON him, is his by every right, and
we want our esteemed contemporary
to understand that we are with him in
this movement. If we had man on the
promises capable of the feat we would
have him write an Afternoon High
Tea Letter to the Public" advocating
Brother FoX's indisputOble claims.
SAYS the National Republican,; "THE
WAsu1NGToN CRITICS cartoon, The
Lost Mugwumps, copy of Van
Thoren's Lost Dogs with the heads
of Schmz and Curtis substituted for
the originals, is one of the best things
Of its kind that has appeared for many
months Such is the universal impress
sion of this great work of art. Repub-
licans and Democrats alike combine
to praise the artistic nature of its con
ception and the profounl significance
it possesses rs n moral lesson. What
the Mugwumps think of it we can
better tell when we come across one to
interview.
In his graphic word paintings of
the present Cabinet at the Brooklyn
meeting last week, Senator Voorhees,
referred to the Secretary of the Interior
as: Lamar, with his fiery Huguenot
| genius and hot Southern blood, who
by the saving grace of great common
sense has spoken for conciliation, har-
mony and love between the sections in
strains of imperishable eloquence. "
This tribute to the able ex-senator and
present Secretary is as just and gener.

tcrday beat the record and shook hands

preston that their votes for the past

GEN. CARR, who was the Republican
candidate for Lieutenant Governor of
New York, ran pretty well ahead of
his ticket. The General seems TO be a
sanguine sort Of gentleman, and says
that he is not yet sure of having been
defeated. He is very solitary in that
way of thinking. If he will tnrn to
our cartoon of to-day he will see thai
he has been defeated and also discover
what it was that hit him.
