topped by the coil of hair" were not
removed, it is said, during the prelimi-

The nomination by the Democrats In
1872, of Horace Greeley. a lifelong
abolitionist and high tariff advocate,
was one OF the most ridiculous blunders
made in political party. Every one
conceded the eminent ability and staunch
integrity Of Mr.. Greeley; yet his candi-
dacy was the butt of a thousand jests
and his nomination was regarded only
as astupendous joke. Everybody laugh
ed-not at Mr. Greeley, but az Dir. Gree
ley as the Democratic candidate. The
result was that the Democratic party was
laughed out of every chance Of success
and the kind-hearted, sensitive philoso-

Which reminds US of the trials of

himself on the great fashionable drive
leading out to Chapultepec. where he
had agreed TO meet some important per-
sonages TO whom he bore letters, who
were in the habit of making that drive
during the fashionable hour. Having
made no note of the style of the public
conveyances of that country, he offered
no objections when the sorriest looking
turnout that was ever hitched up since
the conquest of Cortez, was driven up,
but without word tumbled in, lighted
his cigarette, layed back and ordered

the aristocratic turnouts with their out

tried to make coachee understand that
he would give him five dollars to let him

editor whipped the harder and swore
the louder-he had contracted with the
interpreter to make the complete rounds
of the fashionable drive and he would
do it or knock the last hair from the
rumps of his roadsters. Field got in at
a late hour but not until our entire party
had come in possession of all the par
ticulars and had sent man out to pro-

The Democratic papers point with
PRIDE to the fact that Cleveland has at
last vetoed one bill for public building
in the south. They say it is in the state
of Georgia, too. If this is actually true,
that the president has vetoed this one
single southern measure then, his wor-
shippers claim, it proves his impartiality
to all sections. 1t also proves that the
president is nervy sort of person. How
did he know but that single act might
break the solid south?

The very grotesque figure of great

initiation theory being made the tail to
Grover Cleveland's kite would excite the
widest ridicule and would do more than
anything else-more than the Widow
