In the Chicago convention, 1884, while
seconding the nomination of Mr.. Edmunds as
a candidate for the presidency. George Will
lam Curtis said:
I'VE are confronted with the Democratic
party, very hungry, and, as you may well
believe, very thirsty; party without single
definite principle; party without any distinct
national policy which it dares to present to
the country; party which fell from power
as conspiracy against human rights and now
attempts to sneak back to power as conspir-
acy for plumber and spoils."
But Mr.. Curtis went out from that conven-
ton, and from that day to the present has
exerted all his influence in favor of this party,
and now announces, in effect, that no matter
what the Republicans may do. he may be
counted upon to continue as hacker of ''the
conspiracy" Ephrain1 is joined to his idols;
let him alone.

THERE is such thing as being too amiable
and popular for ones political good. Admirers
of Mr.. Chauncey M. Depew saying that
this favorite son can reconcile the half breeds
and stalwarts, is a friend of the capitalist
and laboring man, and can bring Roscoe
Conkling and George William Curtis into the
same fold. A man with such abnormally en-
gaging qualities as this statement indicates is
evidently not long for this world, and as he
would certainly be translated before his term
was half over it is hardly worth while to nom
mate him. In order to work up boom the
Depewites should permit their candidate to
have few faults.

the brilliant young artist may well be proud.
He is a man of rare intelligence and capacity,
impressing every one with whom he comes in
contact, not only with his high character as
true gentleman, but his mental alertness and
artistic spirit. Though but few days in the
United States, he seems to be thoroughly
imbued with the American genius. The
monument commissioners have been as happy
in the person Of their artist as in the design
they so creditably and unanimously accepted.

Among others, resolution was
adopted declaring for the principles
that federal officers for the territories
and the district Of Columbia should
be chosen from the residents thereof;
also resolutions offered by Mr.. Dick
son declaring that the territories
should be admitted as states as

SO adopted:
Resolved, that we express our
cordial sympathy with the struggling
people OF all notions in their efforts

timable blessings Of self-government
and civil and religious liberty; and
we especially declare our sympathy
with the efforts Of those noble pat
