TIE FIRST MAY PARTIES OF THE sgAsoy

A number Of May parties, which had taken the
chances Of favorable weather yesterday, were out
In Central Park the first Of the season. This is also
the first occasion any year since May parties be-
came a custom In New-York that any Of them have
been able TO secure the first warm and pleasant saur
day before tho first day OF May Itself The air

only just beginning to bud the lawns are Of a
bright fresh green and the lawn mowers have been
at work on some Of them trimming the green. There
were many people in the Park I'm tho afternoon but
these few parties and the robins which have already
arrived had the lawns TO themselves. They were
watched by throngs of spectators and the children
romped on the grass and enjoyed the pleasant warm
day thoroughly.

EVARTS AND GRESHAM.

TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir That Mr.. Blaine the choice Of the masses
Of the Republican party Is conceded by ALL and bis
withdrawal is misfortune In that It leaves the people
all at with regard to candidate. There is not
time for tho masses to consider. compare views
and concentrate any one man, and we will have
to depend on the wisdom, judgment and honesty OF
the Convention. What wo want the Convention to do
Is to nominate a man OF experience and Of National
reputation for ability and integrity, in whose hands
We will feel that the interests Of the country Will be
safe and then let the contest be principles alone
John Sherman would make a strong, competent and
safe President, and We in Pennsylvania wonld give
me a cordial support. But there many who think
no would not be strong candidate.
IL there Is local objection unknown to the people,
Mr.. Evarts, Of New-York, would think, be a very
satisfactory candidate to the party at large. He has
great learning and ability and large experience In
public affairs and political and personal reputation
for integrity which is lrreproachahle. Dut unfort-
unatey NewYork has several other candidates. which
fact will chill discourage any efforts elsewhere to
push Mr. Eyarts. Then there is Judge Gresham, who
believed TO be strong and very suitable But
then Indiana has at least other candidate and so
II goes and the people all at the question.
Now II NewYork could unto on Mr.. Evarts and the
Convention nominate him with, say Ores ham, with the
ability of each, with the character of each for integrity
and with the strong location OF each. would not the
matter be well settled and the election virtually settled
