lt is q trite saying, that demo cratic ofRceholder never dies nor se- signs; at least no democratic presi- dent ever died in office.
 The most signal instance of one inferior man being selected, or rather planned, in the presidential office over that of the most brainy man of the age, is that of Grover Cleveland over that of James G. Elaine.
 Cleveland is certainly the luckiest man of the times. President Ar thur was very anxious to carry the election in New York, in 1882, and for that purpose. rather forced upon the republicans of that state, Judge Folger as the republican can didate for governor. The party took umbrage at the interference of the president, in their local affairs, and Cleveland, quiet gentleman of Buffalo, who was hardly known out side of his bailiwick, was nomina- ted by the democrats, and the re- suit SO astounded the country, by his large majority over Folger, that he was thus found to be good tim Der as presidential candidate in 1884. He was declared elected over Mir. Blaine. But it has been repeat ediy asserted that he did not, truth fully, get the electoral vote of New York. At any rate, the proposition holds good-the inferior over the superior, generally prevails.
 The present executive, like Mir. Garfield, is an exception to the general rule laid down as above.
 Mir. Harrison has disappointed both his friends and political ene- mics. His administration has been, so far, pure. clean, upright, manly and without blemish. He has shown himself to be a statesman in the broadest sense of that term. He has managed the internal con cerns of the nation without a jar, and the foreign relations with dig nfty and to the honor of the country. His administration will stand the test of adverse criticism, and by future generations be classed as the equal of any of its prede- cessors. W. Fl. McGREw.

With the resignation of James G. Rl.;ue, as secretary of state and the action of the Minneapolis conven- ton in refusing to nominate him, as candidate for president, the last three of the greatest men of the age is retired to public life, there to remain ths balance of his days; Blaine, Bis mark and Gladstone, trio of great, ness. and each a tower of strength in his own country, three of the ablest men the world has ever seen, has each probably made his last page of history in his respective country. While none of them has attained to the pinnacle of his ambition, each has boon honored, and in turn has honored his country, and will live while history lives.

Yesterdays game of ball was a
 very close one, resulting in a score of
 Is for the Whipples to 14 for the
 Prescotts. At the close of the game little side play was indulged in which was not down on the bills. During the last inning the umpire of the Whipple nine got in the way of runner of the Prescott nine caus-
 ing him, it is alleged, to lose his
 base. Kelly" who was coaching the Prescott team, called out to the member who was interrupted ask ing him why he didn't knock the umpire down, or something to that effect. The umpire took um- brage at the remark and started to- wards Kelly" but was persuaded to desist and it was supposed that was the end of the side play. After the game closed, hover, he advanced to Kelly" .nd asked him what he meant by his remark, to which the latter replied that he meant just what he said. The umpire replied well 1 am here to be knocked down" and no sooner were the words out of his mouth than Kelly" reached out with his left mauler landing on the umpire's jaw sending him to grass as neatly as John l.. could have done. or the latter regaining his feet, a ring was formed around them and an. other round was had in which the umpire came out considerable dis up the wrong man he gave m and a a friend of his jokingly said to him: "Come on home nov; we won tha ball game; we can't expect to win everything" Whether this littia incident will result in . disrupt;on of the friendly feeling heretofore existing between the two clubs and | prevent future games between them remains to be seen yet.

rHs REPUBLICAN NOMINEE.

The nomination of President liar rison, as the standard bearer of the republican party for the coming campaign gives universal satisfsc- tion to all republicans here. Dem ocrats do not seem to be pleased with 1t. as the more shrewd ones oI that party imagined, whether right or wrong, that with MT. Blaine a: the nominee of the republican par V. their chances of success would have been better than with MT Harrison. It seems to be almost { certainty, they argue, that Cleve land will be the nominee of theil party; that with the entire inf1u ence of the administration he was defeated by Harrison four years ago and that the latter is now stronger than he was then.
 Democrats will not gainsay the fact that the admlnlstratlOn O1 President Harrison has been clean honest, dignifed, and marked fol its ability.
 With him as the republican nomi nee, the party will enter the cam paign with united ranks. While there were personal preferences, in the party, for other candidates upon the majority expressing their preference for MT. Harrison thess personal preferences have been al lowed to drop.
 The ballot that resulted in the nomination of President Harrison will be found in special telegram to this paper.

Our contemporary professes to be disappointed at the defeat of J. G.. Blaine. It says that 'had he been nominated, the heart of the nation would have swelled with patriotic pride and. the republican party would have been lifted out of the force-bill rut of sectional malice, and democrats would have gone into the contest with that stern joy which warriors feel in meeting a foeman worthy of their steel. Where the democrats had expected to do battle with the proud eagle of the north, they will now have to be content with the tame and spirit less occupation of skinning the h. diana mud hen" Now this is all the yeriest kind of democratic rot. The Courier knows very we'll, as does every democrat and republican in the country, that if MT. Blaine had been nominated he would im- mediately have become the subject of the most vituperstive abuse pos sible from every democratic paper, every democratic orator and every small fry democratic politician in the country. Had MT. Blaine been nominated we seriously doubt if any laudatory paragraph concern ing him would have appeared in our contemporary. As Mir. Blaine will not figure as presidential candlate, democratic papers can, of course, in dulge in little harmless lsudation of a man whom, they have been wont 10 abuse.

The modern use of the word '.rats' as an interjection can hardly be ex. plained. Sometimes it expresses in. consciousness and is uttered disdain- fully just after the climax of an exaggerated statement. Sometimes 1t is used to express disgust, and if rightly pronounced is effective. Its use as noun has a place in the dic- oouary of slang as one who deserts his party or associates; among print, CTS one who works at less than es

WAITING.

A little face at the window.
When the lamps fash out In the street,
A little pale face waiting
The coming Of welcome feet;
A pressure OF baby fingers,
A simmer OF golden hair,
A little laugh in the hallway,
A little trip on the stair.
A little pagent passing
Through the churchyard hush and stili.
A httle nome that Is empty.
A little grave by the hill.
A little season of waiting.
OF weeping, and wiping OF tears,
Till a new star gently rising
Shines over the valley Of years.
In the CLEAN OF Whose morn's awaking,
When the clouds and the shadows part,
When a hOlier sunlight breaking
In peace on the mothers heart.
She will smile at the storm and darkness,
The clouds ard the twilight star,
Meath a sun that knoweth no setting
NIcre the souls OF her loved ones are.
