THURM1N'S WIPE.

The late Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who was one
of the profoundest Of modern explorers into meta
physical science, declared that the efficient mo-
tive" for the existence Of the human nose was the
necessity Of supplying to the race proper resting
place for the bridge Of pair of spectacles. This
efficient motive is, however, subject to excep-
tons. One Of these exceptions is the nose Of the
Hon. A. G.. Thurman, of Ohio, who is alleged to
be the only noble old Roman extant at this time
in the United States. The efficient motive for
the nose of the Hon. A. G. Thurman was to furnish
him an organ for the enjoyment Of snuff. 1t is as
serted by archaeologsts that the Hon. A. e. Thur
man Is the only noble old Roman in history Of whom
j. may possibly be asserted that he was snun
talSer. This is q remarkably interesting fact and
we commend it to Mr.. BodlSin, of " The Evening
Post" as being within the line Of its researches
into noble old Roman and other antiquities.
The nose Of the Hon. A. G. Thurman has been
used by him for fifty years past as q receptacle
for snuff. 1t constantly happens that when his
fine old Roman nose is charged with this pungent
powder it goes off into rebellion, something after
the manner of small volcano. When these erup-
tions take place-and they are said to occur every
hour in the day-they are invariably accompanied
by dctonations which, if not greatly moderated by
artificial means, would make the noble old Roman
an alarming if not even dangerous neighbor.
The efficient motive' which leads the Hon. A. G.
Thurman to the use of red bandanna is, remotely,
his habit of taking snuff and Immediately, de-
sire TO moderate the unearthly noises made by his
nose when in q state of eruption. Moreover-and
we seek to put this phase of the matter into as
delicate a form rs possbe-the Hon. A. G.. Thur
man uses red bandanna because it is less UNI
slightly object than white handkerchief would be
under the same circumstances. The exact fact
is, indeed, that it is condition and not theory
that confronts the noble old Roman in this i'm
portant matter.
Among his familiar friends the red bandanna is
called Humans Wipe Now, it is perfectly
well known at Washngton-within Administra-
ton circles that the efficient motive which
moves one Grover Cleveland to seek the nOmina-
ton of A. G.. Thurman a Democratic candidate
for the Vice-Presdency is firm persuasion that
Humans Wipe" full high advanced will
mand for free trade and four years more of Demo-
cratic administration! Grover has q great head
The Democratic cries will be Humans Wipe
and Victory !" Free Trade and Humans Wipe!"
We will wipe up the floor with Humans Wipe!"
"Wipe off your chin.'
wipe, boys. wipe; keep your noses clean;
Wipe boys wipe, and all will be serene.'
This fine refrain may be varied indefinitely.
And that Thurmans Wipe" will attract the whole
American people to vote the Democratic ticket is
at least the opinion of Grover Cleveland! and of
his National Convention Ensign Bodkn, of The
Evening POST will carry The Wipe" in the Sec
ond Ward.

chairman more unfortunate in his retrospect OF
his party's history than MIR. Collins in his
"reminiscences of the original Jeffersonian prin-
ciples.
Free trade and whiskey are the real working
principles of the Democratic party and have
been in the main since Gallatin's day. The
party stands to-day for the same sort of tariff
legislation which Democratic Congresses
enacted several times before the War and OF
which Gallatin was the original champion. IL
stands also now, as ever before, for Southern
domination in American public life and Tor
sectional assaults upon Northern industries.
It stands, moreover, for the saloon as power
in politics-is in open alliance with the most
formidable enemies of the American home as IL
is with the relentless foes of American industry
These are the time dshonored principles which
animate the masses of the Democratic party

TEE LATE THOMAS McELRATH.

The death of Mr. Thomas McElrath removes
another OF the rapidly diminishing group OF those
who have been conspicuous in public affairs In
this city for more than half a century. we
give q record elsewhere of his active and useful
life The TRIBUNE, as an institution, owed
him lasting obligations. 1t was his iudicious
management. and his business sagacity, upholdlns
Mr.. Greeleys editorial genius, that placed TINS
journal In its first years on the foundation Oh
solid prosperity. For sixteen years from Jus
establishment he directed its financial affairs as
responsible publisher, and when he left it, to as
sumo the presidency Of tho Nassau Bank, the
future Of the paper was assured. The consclch-
tiousness, the practical knowledge and the execu-
tive ability which he put at the service OF TINS
journal in those early days Of its existence, ne
exhibited in every public position he held Ihese
were numerous. Abroad, where he served on
important commissions, his patriotic feeling was
as notable as his integrity and business judgment
in his public service at home. In the business
community he was universally esteemed, both for
the strength and solidity Of his character and for
his sagacity. The one work which he produced
Dictionary Of Commerce. is an authority on
the subject in the courts. His life was as
fruitful and useful it was long and active.
His personality was both impressive and at
tractive. He was stril,ingy handsome man.
with an air Of dignity and command which dld
not make him any the less winning. This manly
beauty he retained to the last. His associates
always found him consideratc, kindly and just
In social intercourse he was genial, sympathetic
interested and interesting. The home circle was
his paradise. Mr.. MCElraths nature was deeply
religious He enjoyed highly the society and
serious conversation of Christian scholars, main
tanned lively interest in all religious movements,
and afforded in his own Life IN example OF sim
cere and unprctending pety. Familiar from
his youth with books he was no mean scholar
himself and he had an extensive acquaintance with
men of the highest intellectual rank and accom-
plishmcnts in the country. After long, honor
able and useful career he leaves behind him an
untarnished name and the gratitude and respect
of his fellow-citizens

on the platform. Over this there has already
been a brisk skirmish in which Watterson
has been endorsed. The committee are re-
ported as having decided to readopt the plat
form of 1884, which Mr.. Watterson has been
vigorously denouncing. As to the nomination
for the Presidency, there seems TO be
little doubt The tide is still setting strongly
in favor of Thurman, although the failure to
nominate him yesterday was temporary
victory for Gray's friends, the motion to ad-
iourn being proposed by Senator VOORHEES,, OF
Indiana. But no one anticipates MIR. Thur
mans defeat to-day,
As most of the Democratic public officers
of this city are administering their pubic
trusts this week by shouting for Cleveland at
st. Louis, the news of the nomination was
received here with the stagnant piacldity OF
frog pond on hot summer day with no
breeze stirring. The chief city OF the United
States has never been centre OF enthusiastic
admiration for the ex-Mayor of Buffalo, except
among office-holders or office seekers, and the
Presidents visits to the metropolis have always
been conspicuous for lack of any spontaneous
demonstrations of public favor. The rank
and file of the Democratic factions had simply
resigned themselves to the inevitable. and the
general undercurrent of feeling among them
is that the Free Traders, who have got the
party in their grip, may 60 ahead and elect
their candidate-if they can.
Superintendent Jasper is now secure in his
place for another year, a majority of the Board
of Education having decided that the charges
brought against him had no sufficient founda-
ton. The bitter attacks which have been
made in some quarters upon the present admin
istration Of the public schools seem in the MAN
to have been inspired by willy politician, who
has made repeated eff orts to get the Department
of Education completely in his hands. In
fact. so spacious and all-cmbracing is the public
spirit of this well-known manipulation OF polt-
ical machinery, that he stands ready at any
time to relieve the citizens of New York, ana
even the people of the entire State, from all the
trouble of governing themselves On the
whole, the action of the majority of the ochooi
| Commissioners seems to have been decidedly
| in the interest Of the schools and OF the city.

loyalty to Democratic principles has never been
doubted, but this is the first time that its

Our latest dispatches indicate that the ma
jority in the State may reach Z 1000, and
that the Legislature will probably stand
seventy Republicans to twenty Democrats.
