Although Fuller and not Phelps has got
the glory of being Chief Justice, we need not
apologize for reproducing here one more
stanza from the latter's immortal poem on
Essex Junction:
"Here Boston waits for Ogdensburg,
And Ogdensburg for Montreal,
And late New York long tarrleth,
And Saratoga hinders all;
From far Atlantic's waye-swept bays
To Missssppfs turbid tide,
All accidents. mistakes. delays,
Are gathered here and multiplied.
Oh, fellow mani avoid this place
AS you would plague or Peter Funks town
And hope in hell
Their souls may dwell
Who first invented Essex Junction"
The conclusion we reach is that II the NOM
ination had been destined for the better
poet of the two, and if Mr. Cleveland had
been a competent judge of those qualities OF
verse which unerringly indicate, to such as
can read them Alright, the mental processes,
habits of mind, and individual characters
tics of the author, the great judicial .prize, OF
the republic would have gone to Evardus
not to Melvillius.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May THE Ameri-

with A. NJ. Hughes, Jr., chairman OF the
Republican State Executive Committee, re-
garding the failure of Roscoe Conkling to
actively support James G. Blaine in the last
presidential canvass. M. Hughes's facts
were never before made public. Mr.. Hughes
says that Senator Chaffee labored with Mr..
Conkling, and the latter agreed to announce
his support of Mr.. Blaine in an open letter
if the latter would write personal one re-
questing support. Mr.. Blaine wrote the let
ter, which was given to Walker Blaine to de-
liver. The latter carried the letter to New
York, but on his way to Conkling's house he
stopped at the National Republican head
quarters. mentioning the purpose of his
presence in New York to Steve Elkins, B; r.
Jones, chairman, and one or two others. The
managers decided it was best to ignore Conk.
ling, and the letter must not reach him, and
accordingly it was suppressed. The animos-
ity of C0nkling was intensified at the addi'
tional affront, and Mr.. Blaine lost New York
