post himself IN regard to the facts in the

the Middletown paper the trouble was at

The Delaware team, in my humble

THE discussion about Mr.. Bayard's in
tentions, sentiments and his advice to
Democrats has broke loose again This
time the authoritative announcements
from Mr.. Bayard do not emanate from
any better authority that a garrulous
friend. Mr. Bayard has not usually
spoken through any indiscreet
mouthpieee. When he has had
anything to say he has always said It for
himself IN his own way aud at his own
time. He will likely continue that pru-
dent habit. Meanwhile the Republicans

vorced4 Mr.. Hayes is already married
and has family in New York. so that it
would be inconvenient for him to wed
the sprightly Miss Fuller and it would
probably result in domestic disagree

likely miserable fake" The question
concerning Mrs. Langtry is not so easily
disposed Of. Mr.. Gebhardt has been
travelling around with her so that II she
should happen to obtain divorce he
would be on the ground first and ready
to marry her at once without loss Of
time or without putting the prize to the
jeopardy Of a rival. The country will
hang on the wires in anxious expectancy
for later news concerning Mrs. Langtry.
