The Confessions of a Boston Mugwump Co
His Minneapolis Son.

The Confessions of a Boston Mugwump Co
His Minneapolis Son.
New York Sun.
The youth who edits the Minneapolis Tribune
is the son of the literate editor of the Boston
Herald. The Boston father is among the fore
most in the little band of devotees who regard
mugwumpery as cult. to be practced with holy
rites and adhered to even unto martyrdom. The
Minneapolis son cherishes no such nonsense in
his noddle. He has reverence for mugwumps
and frequently laughs at them in public, his par
ent among the rest. -s~,-~zv~-4ers
We allude to the relationship between our two
esteemed contemporaries because the irreverenca
of the son has just drawn from the father an
ure of deliverance or rescript. The father
had counted up four parties as likely to enter
the next presidential contest The son immedi.
ately inquired why the mugs were left out of the
reckoning
We notice with surprise that the Herald says moth,
ing about the mugwumps. Is it that this is tacit
confession that the independent element in politics is
no morei Do the mugwumps themselves admit that
they have gone, and ALL into the Democratic maw3
1t hardly seems possible, and yet believe moth
ing else from the statement to which we REFER The
facts are patent enough but this is the first suspicion
OF even tacit admission that we have seen.
Coming from any other source this pertinent
question might, perhaps, have been treated with
silent contempt But father cannot very we'll
refuse to enlighten his son, and we accordingly
find the following reply in the editorial columns
of the Boston Herald:
My dear boy you do not understand these matters
yet. The mugwumps do not form party nominate
ticket They sit in judgment on the other fellows:
They not political strikers" They are political
kckers. They want Offices for themselves, but
they demand the best services for the state.
So there is no mugwump party. in the opinion
of mugwumps themselves. They do not regard
themselves as political organization, but rather
as Judicial body court of appeals, with the
high and almost sacred function of passing
finally on the decisions of their fellow mortals.
This is a tremendous responsibility, but we are
not aware that any real mug ever shrank from
assuming it. The young Minneapolis editor has
drawn forth most interesting announcements
from his papa In Boston.
Anything calculated to throw light on the
origin, motives and esoteric philosophy of the
mugwnmps will be historically valuable. Soon
there will be none of them left on earth Now
is the time to pump them dry. We hope thai
young Mr.. Haskell will continue to take ad.
vantage of his parents paternal and communi-
cative mood.

A Curious Political Prediction.

New York Sun.
We find in Chicago paper an interview with
the Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew which contains
one rather remarkable passage.
Being asked for an opinion about President
Cleveland's prospects of denomination, Mr.. De-
Pew is reported as saying:
II have no doubt of it. His marriage led me
to that conclusion. and If his wife has baby it
will be confirmed"
We have heard opinions of the same sort pri-
vately expressed before, but never with the
clearness, frankness and felicitous simplicity of
language here attributed TO the distinguished
gentleman who rules the New York Central
railroad.

The Recommendations He win Make in His

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Dec. "a Washington
special to the Eagle says: 'In his message the
President will call attention to the regulation of
silver coinage by placing discretionary power in
the Secretary of the Treasury. and to the reduc-
ton of the receipts by reduction of customs
duties and internal revenue taxes in order to pre-
vent the redundance of revenue and TOO
great an excess of the surplus fund. The Presi-
dent, from the data furnished by Treasury Off
GERS, will be able to show that because another
year has passed without trouble, no withstand
ing the Indifference manifested toward his rec
omnendation last year on the same subject, it
does not follow that the danger has been passed.
He shows that the favorable conditions of trade
averted the complications threatened then, but
that we are now much nearer crisis, and
that when it comes it will come suddenly and
will require prompt treatment"

In his own house Senator Sherman is a CHEEKY
host. His greeting is more cordial than en-
phatic. He is never demonstrative, but rather
inviting and assuring. The Senator ages grace
fully. He does not look to-day older than his
appearance indicated ten years ago, save that
his whiskers have donned the full tinge of gray
and are kept closely cut to the chin.

Politics in the south.

Washington Special.
The Democrats of Virginia are gradually re-
covering from the stunning effects of the re-
cent election in that State. and are beginning
preparations for restoring it to the Demo
cratic party es soon as may be- 1t is said that
Representative Brown, who defeated Ca
bic in the Fifth district has decided to act with
the Democrats, although he was elected as an
independent Republican. Senator Riddle
berger's home organ has just come out with a
suggestive editorial, very friendly to the Presi-
dent in it's tone, and the inference is that the
Senator is thinking of trying TO find his way
into the Democratic ranks. Meanwhile, how
ever no matter how much influence of this
sort the Democratic leaders in Virginia may be
able to exert the silent and steady growth of
manufacturing enterprises in that State will
furnish a counter influence in favor of the pro-
tective tariff and the Republican party, which
they will find it very difficult, if not impossi
bic, to resist Virginia is just as likely TO be q
Republican as Democratic State in future.
The same may be said of West Virginia and
Tennessee.
