Massachusetts is the only state that does
not show an increase over the vote
cast for st. John. The showing is
significant in general and in detail. 1t is, in
fact, the one dark cloud in the Republican
horizon. This fact may as well be
faced at once. The great problem for the
Republican party to solve is how to bring
back those Of It's members who have gone
into this movement-the movement that
defeated the Republican ticket In 'S4 and is
chiefly depended upon by Democrats to help
them through in 'SS.

THE Will OF the late Samuel ]. Tlden will
probably not stand tue legal test which the
heirs propose to apply. The New York
court Of appeals said in recent case !;
This court is not likely to agree that n
devise may become the mere equivalent Of
q general power Of attorney" This is
equivalent to saying that testator cannot
legally give his trustees power of attorney
to DO as they please. Mr. Tilden has given
the broGdest discretion to the executors.
They could establish an asylum for horses
or dogs instead Of a library without yio-
latlpg the ipjunctions Of the testator.

relic, as it had been handed down from
