Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. TiIden.

Mr.. BLANE's letter OF Saturday is gener-
ally construed as the final renunciation Of
On honorable and lifelong ambition to be
President. In that aspect. the letter seems
10 some OF our contemporaries to be pathetic
in what 1t signifies.
4 Yet we suppose II Is true that for months
and perhaps for years Mr.. BhAINE's view OF
the possibility OF another nomination has
been almost that OF personal indifference.
We mean that he ceased long ago to regard
the Presidency as the main object in life
the thing to be desired above all others and
10 be hoped for and worked for as one hopes
and works for the crowning prize OF an in
complete career. II has been tho fortune OF a
tew statesmen in American history to grow
beyond that point JAMES G. BLAINE Of
Maine is one OF them: and as was the case
with Mr.. TILDEN during the years between
1876 and 1880. tho possession OF tho great
Office which was his at call has become q
matter secondary in Importance to con-
alterations Of health. Of personal comfort.
Of the wishes OF family and friends. Only
IN assured and splendid fame and an un-
questioned supremacy can afford to make
the choice which BLAINE makes and which
TILDEN made.
Another view Of the letter to Gen. CLARK
son. the view which seeks more than one
meaning behind the words. is too paltry to
be entertained single instant. Scheming
and writing double for the sake Of what To
obtain nomination which was already his
II he would consent to accept it? To make
sure OF that which no force now potent in
politics. and no combination possible to be
madebetween now and the meeting OF the
Republican National Convention could keep
from him II no we're willing to receive it !?
Certain persons took the same asinine view
Of Mr.. T1LpEN's similar decision twelve
years ago.
InMr. BLAINE's case. as in Mr.. T1LDEN's.
the nomination for President rested en-
tirely upon tho decision Of tho great leader
whom an over @helming majority Of his
party wanted for President. Moreover. as
was true concerning MIR. TILDEN in 1880.
tho nomination meant election. We are
free to say that in our opinion no candidate
whom tho Democracy can name In June
could have beaten Mr. BLAINE at the polls
in November: and, on the other hand, with
Mr.. BLAINE out there remains to the Repub-
lican party no candidate who is likely to OBJ
tain next November majority Of the elec-
toral vote against DAVID Is. HILL or
ARTHUR p. GoRMAN.

The Truth About Governor Hill.

mont OF the Hon. D. b. HUI claims that Mr. Hill adan.
Eerous to intrust with power. alleging that while

answer to the above would greatly oblige reader Of
your able paper. Yours. =. HALL
PirsourH. Mich. Feb g.
We inform our correspondent that the
Court of Appeals of New York is entirely
independent OF the Governor. Moreover.
there Is due proportion Of Republicans
among Its Judges. Coercion Of that court
is utterly impossible. and its decisions are
justly regarded here in the State OF New
York as pure declarations OF the law itself.
Governor HILL has performed many pub
lie services Of high value and Importance.
but nothing else to be compared with his
overthrow Of the Republican conspiracy to
maintain the control Of that party in the
New York Legislature and to prevent for all
time the taking Of new census and a new
distribution OF Legislative representation
throughout the State. For years our Repub-
lican managers have foiled every attempt at
reform. every effort for the achievement OF
justice in this important matter: but the
courage and persistence Of Hill have finally
overcome them. They hate him and abuse
him accordingly; but every intelligent
Democrat appreciates his worth and re-
CARDS him with gratitude and honor.

Handshaking Wa, a TrIaI,

George Meikle Kemp, the architect Of
the Scott monument at Edinburgh, was
man who raised himself from OBJ
scurity by the sheer force Of talent and
determination. He had retiring
nature, and shy and shrinking manner
toward strangers. The habit of hand
shaking created in him an embarrass-
ment and aversion which he could
scarcely control, and one Of his friends
gives an amusing description of the
manner in which he accomplished
the deed when it became inevitable.
The two were walking along one of the
streets in Edinburgh in the full flow of
an animated conversation, when Kemp
suddenly became aware of a friend APP
preaching them from the opposite direc-
ton.
Instantly the current of his thought
was arrested, he lost the thread of con-
versation, and then became silent alto
gether. A whimsically troubled expires
sion crept over his face, and a nervous
commotion developed itself in his man.

angles with the body.
