coming from 50 First avenue. DAvEN-

orator was warmer. for the motion Of that
tremendous mass OF intellect generates an
intolerable heat. He put one foot on his
chair. to indicate that. superior as he was
in economics and finance to the rest OF the
House, there was no false pride about him.
He took of his coat as testimony to the
thermometer. the ardor that was consum-
ing him. and tho vigor with which he pro-
posed to smash silver. There was moment
OF wonder In the House and then grin that
rippled to the galleries.
When the Hon. THOMAS BRACKET REED.

chusetts exhibition began. returned and
observed the confess statesman. blush OF
anger spread over that continent OF face
Mr.. REED was perturhcd. That member
OF body presided over by Nj. REED in his
beautiful imperious sixteenth century man

presence was an outrage unparalleicd
Imagine the feelings of tho Lord Char

and dance fling. Imagine the feelings ot
the Archbishop OF Canterbury If ho were
travelling in this country and some brush
American citizen should iyuornntly address
him rs young feller.' Mr. REED resented
tho insult to the dignity of the House aud
to his own dignity. Mr.. WALKER was per-
emptorily called down.
But he had passed into history. He was
to be Old Shirtslccves henceforth He had
shown that all his weight OF stntcsmanship
had not made him averse to being free and
easy. He had made scene which painters
will not neglect. He had exhibited that
polish OF good manners which the most
enlightened. virtuous. prosperous. anu
happy inhabitants Of Massachusetts de-
light to honor. He had set the example
which less original Republican orator. the
Hon. JACOB SLoAT FASSETr, was to initiate
brfuro u different audience. Worst of ell.

Concerning Mr.. Carl Schurz.

The Mugwump Nc,c York Times continues
TO favor the Democracy OF the Empire State
with It's advice as to the choice Of United
States Senator. 1t persists In calling at
tention to what 1t regards as the qualifca-
lions Of the Hon. CARL ScHURz for a seat in
tho United States Senate as the colleague
OF DAVID BENNETT HILL.
This does not seem to be conscious and
Intentional Jest on the part OF the Ncp York
Times. That newspaper prints letters from
other Mugwumps highly commenting the
nomination OF Mr.. ScHURz. Moreover. tho
nomination appears to be regarded with
enthusiastic approval by the Hon. WILL
LIAM II. GRACE, who Is reported as saying
II do not think there Is another man in the
State who would so ittingly represent the
people in the Senate. His past record is
like an open book. tho pages Of which are
without a blcmish. His broad views. his
able opinions. his craftsmanship. and. in
fact. everything he has ever done. make 1t
plain that no Is the ono man OF many who
can carry out the will OF the people. which
In this country is law"

held for tho four years between March 4.
1877, and March 4, 1881, the Office OF Secre-
tary OF the Interior in the Fraudulent Cabl-
net OF RUTHERFORD i. HAYES. He was ono
OF the principal beneficiaries of the Great
Fraud of 1876. and ono OF the agents OF the
Republican party in defeating tho will OF
the people. which in this country has not
always been law. Notwithstanding the Hon.
WILLIAM II. GRACE's assertion. That page
OF Mr.. SCHURz's past record Is stained in
effaceably. For tho sake OF the salary and
emoluments OF the office. the Hon. CARL
SEIZURE gratefully and without shame ac-
cepted it. hot and dirty from the hands OF
J. MADISON WELLS and the forgers and
perjurers OF Louisiana and Florida.
This Is the gentleman whom the Hon VIII
LIAM r. GRACE regards as the fittest man in
the State to represent the Democracy Of
New York in the Senate
is not inappropriate that the nomina-
ton OF Mr.. ScHURz as candidate for Sem
ator should proceed from the newspaper
which boasts Of having conceived and start
cd the infamy OF 1876. by which Mr.. ScHURz
proHted. Coming from such source and
addressed to the party OF SAMUEL j. TILDEN.
the suggestion that the Hon. CARL SCHURz
shall be honored by the New York Democ-
racy Is insulting.
