FULLER'S BOOMLET.

Chief Justice Fuller is a good man,
but as presidential candidate he car
rieS too much whiSkerS TO the square
yard-New York Recorder.
Mr. Cleveland will not Withdraw in
favor of Chief Justice Fuller; in other
words, the eX-preSident is not gibber-
ing idiot.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The ticket Will be Cleveland or a
Western man. Judge Fuller is.a Vest
ern man, and a good one too good a
chief justice ever to be nominated for
president Louis Republic. ~
The tale that Cleveland is to retire
from the race for the candidacy and that
Chief Justice Fuller is to take his place
is weak in two points: First. Cleveland
has no intention OF withdrawing, and,
secondly, it he should withdraw Falier
about the last man that any consider
able number of Democrats would ever
think of putting up for the presidency.
st. Louis Giobe-Democrat.
But for the unyielding obStinacy of
the Cleveland adherentS in New York
it is limited that Chief Justice Fuller
might obtain the Democratic nominal
ton. Tie truth will finally dawn on
the Democracy that it is a proftless
business to eternally pander to the
WhlmS OF few mugWump puriStS
whose allegiance to party is the GER
tain forerunner of its DECENTRALIZATION
Democrat.
Cleveland himself is said to favor
Judge Fuller, next to himself, believing
that the great jurist is only second to
the eX-preSident in ability, if not in
popularity. 1t is a mere matter of pol
Icy on the part of the Democratic party.
They are DESTROYS of putting up their
strongest man, and perhaps it would be
a wise thing to push Fuller forward
should it be shown in Chicago that
Cleveland is hopelessly swamped.-
PittSbnrg Press.
The latest fool rumor put afioat by the
comic newspapers is that Mr.. Cleveland
has made present of his presidential
"boom" to Chief Justice Fuller. AS
Mr.. Cleveland doesn't own his "bOom,"
he couldn't transfer it to any body, even
if he should desire Ia do so. When a
nomination for the presidency shall be
made at Chicago the constructors OF
''booms' will not be consulted. Their
work is mere speculation and guess
work. having no serious popular fOun-
dation and no appreciable influence in
shaping results.-Philadelp hia Record.

WHY IT WAS DONE.

The Minneapolis Times characterizes
the omission from the Republican elec-
toral ticket of any person of Scandina-
Wan descent as "A Bad Break" Our
contemporary is not showing its usual
Derspicacity. 1t is looking too far back
ward. Prior to the memorable cam
paign of 1890 any such omission would
have warranted the application of the
phrase used, but the omission at this
time is not all break" but is the
recognition by the Republicans of an
actual condition; the fact that the Scan
dinavianS are no longer any such COLI
siderable factor in their party that or
binary political prudence demands their
recognition on any ticket. The Repub-
llcanS have no place for mere empty
compliments. Their favors must be ill.,
vestments rendering handsome returns.
With the Scandinavian vote SO largely
lost, place for any of their folks on the
electoral ticket would be favor grant
ed with no adequate return in prospect.
1t was indicative of their accustomed
ShrewdneSS, then, that they dropped
the ScandinaviaDS, and, for the first
time in their career, recognized their at
tacheS of color by giving an dictatorship
TO gentleman of color. The Republic
ans may be safely left to put their rec
ognition where it will do the most good.

4 GREAT GATHERING.

In recent enumeration OF the great
gatherings of the early summer, one. pos
sibly the greatest of them all in num-
berS, was not mentioned. Its authorized
membership viii be several times
greater than that of any of the national
political conventions. The latter NAV
surpass it IN the tumuits of feeling, but
1t is doubtful if any will possess more
intensity of purpose and enthusiasm.
For some reason the great convocation
of the Christian Endeavor societies, in
July. is to be held in New York city.
Whether it is allured there by Tam
many, or led by a reformatorv
zeal, inspired by the proclamation
of the PARKHURSTS, does not appear.
But it will be a great gathering and
represent vast constituency. There
are 1880 societies and constituency of
1,100,060 to be voiced in the assemblage.
This organization is almost entirely the
Outgrowth OF the past decade. The
Philadelphia convention in June. 1882.
was trifing affair in numbers, and rep
resented but few hundred members.
Its growth since is one of the significant
indications of the growing strength of
the moral activities. 1t is not the less
SO that the movement is composed in
the main of the young men and women
connected with most of the great relig-
1ous denominations. 1t is strictly nom
sectarlan. and has its inspiration in the
life OF the people ami not in Anticipated
dogmas. This is, perhaps, one of the
chief causes of its remarkable develop
meht. II foreshadows the time when

ON TO MINNIE APOLIS.

The prospect now is that the conven-
ton at Minneapolis will be a dellbera-
tive body. This seems to dispose or
Thomas B. Reeds chances OF being Its
presiding officer.-BoSton Herald.
A man who has been there says a
suite of parior and two bed rooms at
Minneapolis during the visit of the Re
Iublicans will cost $50 day; and yet,
even in this state, many gentlemen seem
to want to be sent to the cOnyentl0n.-

The report that Minneapolis society is

appear from these states. South Caro-

one representing the regular organlZa-

is probable that two delegations may
also appear from Virginia. Florida,

delegation. If the Southern Republic

litical rights as they are in electing del
egates they might perhaps be able to do

NOT QUITE HAPPY.

The statistical pOSitiveneSS with which

anything but assurance and quietude.

the crowd outside by the claim that
they have the thing absolutely certain.
and the hesitating but hungry
FLANAGANS must hustle for the
band wagon if they do not want
to be left. On the surface, the advan-
tage is largely the HARRISON way. His
forces have a definite goal in view,
while the others have no available man
in sight, and are under the lmputation
of being led by men who have personal
grievances only to satisfy. Could the
plOtterS get BLAINE to accept the nOm-
inatiOn, there is hardly question that
they could sweep the Minneapolis con-
vention. This is the only chance that

THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY.
1t Is Discussed by Methodists at
Omaha.

OMAHA, Neb., May S.-The American
university and Christian education were
the prevailing themes at the mass meet
ing at Exposition hall this afternoon.
Notwithstanding the forbidding weather
there was an audience of over %, 600
people present and they sat out the en-
tire programme that lasted two and
three-quaFfers hours. All the addresses
were with reference to the proposed
great university at Washington. which
will be open only to college graduates
and the doors of which are not to be
thrown open until an endowment fund
of S5,000,000 has been secured.
The nature of the scheme was set
forth by Bishop Hurst while presiding.
The musical part of the programme was
in charge of Chaplain McCabe and DR..
Shard. The opening prayer was made
by Rev. DR.. d. w. Hays. The following
programme was carried out: Rev. DR..
Moulton, the English delegate, was
called for by the audience and re-
sponded briefly, expressing his ap-
prOval of the magnificent scheme and
faith in its contamination. 1t was an
nounced that several subscriptions had
already been promised, Mrs McCabe
taking the first share of $1,000. An
other sum across the water is only wait
ing for some one to 90 after it. A resO-
luton was adopted asking the bishops
to designate Oct. Is as Columbian day,
when subscriptions will be taken for
the American university. The question
will come before the general conference
for definite action some time during the
present month.
