He Says He Cannot Talk to Political
 Meetings.
 Ex-Governor Thomas Waller, United States consul general to London, arrived in New York Thursday, on the steamship City of New York, on sixty days leave of absence, to recuperate his health-not the democratic army, he assured a reporter. He looked little older and stouter, and more rugged than when as district attorney he prosecuted the charge of murder against Rev Mir Hayden, in New Haven, several years ago. He protested against the as sumption that his leave had anything to do with the campaign, but said that his fences and vegetables at New London needed his attention.
 II would," said he, gladly take part in the present political campaign if were at liberty to do so, but the consular service, don't you know, will hardly permit that sort of thing. I think my actions would be criticised were to take the stump for my party while holding my present posi- tion. and have no thought or intention of doing so." >
