that the Republican policy of protection will

The New York Republicans seem to have
come to very sensible conclusion in the
matter of the mayoralty of the metropolis.
Instead of nominating separate ticket with
the inevitable result of playing into the
hands of Tammany, they have concluded to
unite with the Democratic opposition and
support union ticket. Under these circum-
stances there ought to be good chance of
driving the Tammany heelers out of the
offices and; taking the control Of municipal
affairs out Of the hands of the rumsellers,
where to large extent 1t now resides.

Gov. Campbell, of Ohio, has called a spe-
cial session of the Legislature to relieve him
Of the responsibility of selecting more Dem
ocrats for members of the Board of Public
improvements in Cincinnati. He tried his
hand at it some time ago, and the result was
not success. The Democrats he chose
turned out to be inefficient, and, the Cover
nor intimates, dishonest also. OF course he
might remove the present incumbents and
try again, but apparently he has lost all
faith in the material which the Democratic
party affords for such Offices, or in his own
judgment. AT any rate he wants the legisla-
ture to make the office an elective one, so
that the responsibility of filling it will de-
volve upon the people. Probably the rea-
son he thinks the people can do better than
he can is because they will not have to con-
fine their selection to the Democratic party
1t is pretty good reason, too.

The Hon. Roger Q. Mills appears to be
making himself very ridiculous in his
speeches in the West. In town in Wiscon-
sin the other night he painted most gloomy
picture of the condition of the West, repre-
senting the farmers as so poverty stricken as
hardly knowing where they were going TO
get their next meal. The farms, he said,
were plastered all over with mortgages, and
General bankruptcy was inevitable unless
there was change In our economic policy.
1t SO happened, however, that Mr.. Mills had
submitted to an interview few days previ-
Gus, in which he had declared that the
prosperity and rapid growth of Western
cities and towns amazed him. So the next
morning after his gloomy harangue the
the local Republican paper published the
speech and the interview in parallel columns,
much to the confusion of the Texas states
man and the amusement of the people. The
New York Sun thinks in view of his per-
tormances that the Democratic committee
should call him home or repudiate his utter
ances.

Maine people will be glad to know that the
reputation of the posterity of John Albion
Andrew will not rest alone upon the fabby
young Mugwump who in his seat in Con-
gress has acted steadily with the Southern
oligarchy to obstruct public business, pro-
mote free trade and deny to the poor colored
men and poor white men of the South the
privileges the constitution has conferred
upon them. Henry FL. Andrew, younger
brother of John F. Andrew, is an uncom-
promising Republican and is to-day Re
publican nominee for the Legislature from
Ward in Boston. We hope he will thrive
politically in Massachusetts,; and in time
dispossess his brother of that seat in Con-
gress If some other good Republican does
not do it before that time comes.

The others sent letters OF regret, giving

had decided TO sail at once
for their homes, and the rest
were Ill or too tired TO make the

were unable to do So, and the secretary
OF state decided that the number of
those going would not Justify the ex-
pense of the journey, which would cost
as much as If the entire conference
had gone; the whole outlay would prob
ably have been $4,000.
The secretary said, tonight, that lie
sincerely regretted that the commercial

South who had made preparations to
entertain the delegates had to be disap-
pointed, but felt that they would appre-

much regret that they cannot accept 1t.

pose of engaging in the iewelrv busi-

tucked the pocketbook, containing one
$1,000, two 500, and two $500 bills
between the quilt and mattress under
his head, but this morning the money
and his gold watch were gone. 1t is
thought that the thief must have gained
entrance during the afternoon, con-
cesled himself under tue bed, and
dropped from a second story window
after the theft. He offers a reward of
$500 for the arrest of the thief and re-
turn OF the money.
