to be that of Henry Wagner, and that he
came to his death at La Sale, ILL.,, on the
fourth day of June, 1888, from the results
of blows inflicted upon the body of said

there to be dealt with according to law.

A Strange Infatuation.

' The epistle of James G. Blaine, which has been furnished by his friend, White law Reid, to the press of tho land, cannot be read with other than feeling of it's pitiful nature. ... The writer had in his Florence letter distinctly and definitely expressed his re- fusal to stand as tho nominee of the na- tional Republican party. But such was his known character that his intimates and well wishers regarded the Florence letter as 8 political move to gain for the writer sympathy where more direct effort would precipitate hostile action. This view of Blaine's personal honor agreed with public sentiment. Blaine, if he were anything, was a political strategist. He had never been candid or honest in his utterances. It was idle for him, in 1888, to set up any new standard of morals.
 The letter to Whitelaw Reid accepts this situation. As 8 rogue argues with 8 policeman, so is this illustrious American compelled to discourse to his fellow men. MT. Blaine is telling the truth, so he would have 1t known, because of ulterior motives not usually applying.
 Is there any wisdom in crediting the utterance of a man who can tolerate gen eral discredit? Can people believe any thing such statesman may say? And is it not strange infatuation which leads 8 great party to wander from candidates whom 8 truth telling press like The Herald might worthily praise, in order to follow the devious course of this dead head in the enterprise, who, in casting an anchor ito the windward, smilingly admits that those who take him at his word, when that word has been only once solemnly it. :erated, are acting unadvisedly and with out experience in the affair.-Chicago

THE WATERBURY DENocRA THURSDAY JUNE IA s8s

New York delegation to Chicago was di-
 vided as usual But this time the Demo- crats decided that previous methods of
 compromising had been bad, and compelled New York to cast her vote as unit,
 precedent that has since ripened into law. Gen. Mcclellan wss nominated and
 badly defeated. Again in 1868 the New
 York delegation was at war with itself; but the Tammany faction got the upper
 hand The convention met in Tammany
 Hall, New York, on the 4th of July, and Tafnmany favored the nomination of Sal
 mon P. Chase. This gave the other faci ton their opportunity. They '.broke the slate" and secured the nomination of Ho-
 ratio Seymour, with George H. Pendleton { for vice president. It was little more than ], formality, for the war feeling was still
 high, and Gen. Grant took the prize by large majority The campaign of 1872 was an anomaly in politics; great party lost its head for The Democratic party was at it's lowest ebb; nothing but the immortality of Democratic principles kept it alive, and
 now the leaders decided to lay those prin- ciples aside for time for the sake of suc- cess. They were beaten worse than ever, as they richly deserved to be. The Liberal Republicans met at Cincinnati on the 1st i of May and after short but spirited con test astonished the country by nominat-
 ing Horace Greeley; the Democrats con- vened at Baltimore on the 9th of July and accepted the Cincinnati conventions plat form and candidate. The laugh was
 against the combination, and it was doomed from the start Grant was re-
 elected by popular majority of 743,000l { Only two years later the Democrats carried the country, electing the first :, Democratic house of representatives in twelve years by majorities aggregating some 100000. In two years there had
 been change of over 1, 100000 votes,
 and thereafter the country was to be
 Democratic; the Republicans were to win only by the most stupendous exertions
 and by practices admitted by themselves to be very questionable
 !. The convention of 1876, at St. Louis, is regarded by all Democrats as the great historic event of their recent history, the turning point, the time and place of reor- ganization. Had Samuel J. Tlden been
 but ten years younger, Ulysses Grant
 would have been the last Republican pres
 ident. The convention met June 2S, at
 the Merchants Exchange, and was!guided
 by tho highest wisdom in all its acts;
 Tilden, of New York, and Hendricks, of
 Indiana, satisfied all reasonable demands, and secured the two states. Many sen tences from the platform there adopted have become literary classics. Tho ma- iority in popular vote for the ticket was
 but trife short of quarter of million;
 the method by which the popular will was
 defeated is well known. The conventions of 1880 and 1884 are recent history. It is here only necessary to point out two les sons from history: the Democrats nearly always win most votes when they adhere most closely to Democratic principles, and
 when the party is united, especially in
 New York, 1t wins four times out of five. This year it is united and enthusiastic as
 never before.

Why He Withdraws.

MT. Blaine does not withdraw because he does not want to be president. He does not withdraw because he is in bad health. With his withdrawal he couples Inc indication of reversionary legatee Things had gone too far for that within the party.
 Does he withdraw because he does not believe he or any other Republican can be elected2 In his communication he answers in the negative. The logic of the situa- tion answers in the affirmative.
 MT. Blaine's implication that Republi- cans alone befriend labor and Democrats opposs it is sting in the tail of his letter which is untrue in itself and in bad taste for one who would commend himself to all his countrymen by removing himself from the path of contention in that direc- tion. Mir. Blaine is no longer q candidate. After e-who?-Brookly Eagle.

IN connection with the high wages theory the following is interesting: When the salt lobbyists are at Washington pleading with congress to protect them, they pro fess profound interest in their workmen, to whom, it might be supposed, they were paying the most liberal wages. The census figures expose their hypocrisy. In the 268 works given in one of the census tables, there are employed 1, ,2S9 working men and women. The total amount of wages paid in Q year QS80) amounted to $1, ,26O, OPS, or ninety eight cents day, counting 300 working days 2 year. The profit on the $S,225, TAO of capital invested was IS per cent per annum. This explains why the owners of the salt works can spend their summers at the seaside, while their work men remain at Saginaw Bay fighting mosquitoes and the ague.

ROBERT LINCOLN will arrive in England land to have an interview with James G. Blaine. In the first place he will try to secure from Mir Blaine an emphatic declar- ation that he will not be candidate. This point gained, he will spring the real object of his visit upon MT Blaine which is to secure from him an expression of his preference for Judge Gresham. It will be interesting to note the outcome of Nil Lincoln's visit We venture the opinion that MT. Blaine will not express himself for Gresham, even though he leaves him self out of the race.

SOMEBODY has been forging a letter from Mir Depew in advance of the Chicago con- vention. The letter is said to have been addressed to a. delegate of some large western state, and in it MT Depew is said to have expressed his conviction that he was not the most available man of his party, to nominate, and that, while he might carry this state, he was apprehen- sive that his record az railroad president and corporation lawyer would lose some of the northwestern states that are usually safe for the republican party. MT Depew repudiates the letter.
