How to Get Rid OF BOres.

An American Ambassador, calling
on Prince Bismark, casually observed
that the Chancellor's time must be
greatly taken up by bores.
"That 10 true" said Bismark, "but l

ing OF them"
"What is it?"
any wife always sends for me on
some pretext or other, and then, of
course, the visitor is forced by polite
ness to take his leave"
Hardly had he spoken the words
when the Princess entered, saying in
an innocent tone:
@Otto, it's time to take your medi-
cine"
The Ambassador saw the ludicrous
side of the matter, burst out laugh
ing, and took his leave.-Truth.

WINGED that the scheme will never

public st t. set forth such facts
and appropriations of them as
will enable mankind to judge
men who have acted conspic,
ious parts in the conduct of the
government. 1t is therefore
incumbent in dealing with
Rutherford B. Hayes to say
that he knowingly consented
to act an odius part at a trying
time in the history of the re-
public. He had been a soldier;
he had performed the duties
assigned him with fidelity, if
not with marked ability. He
had served the State with sob
riety aud good sense as All Exc
cut We. In 1876 he was, by one
of those curious capr.ces, which
seem t. rule political conven-
tons, chosen over such eminent
men as Blaine. Conkling, Nor
ton, Logan, Sherman, Br. ston,
as the candidate of his party
for the Presidency.
He was defeated by more
than a quarter of a million
votes at the polls and score
or two in the electoral college.
He squarely owned his defeat,
and seemed to bow tn the une-
qlivocal verdict. But a New
York newspaper-inspired by a
love of the sensational. if not
baser mot..ve-boldly disputed
the returns, insidiously suggest
ed rascality, and, to the amaze
Inent of the country, found
countsnance and cooperation in
the vehement support of the
leading party managers. The
claim was so monstrous, the
rascality SO open that the man
chiefly concerned President
elect Tilden-paid no heed to
the swiftly concerted eonspi-
racy. Gradually the plot took
the cons stency of a party
pulley. Many journals that
had advocated Hayes held
aloof, even protested half-hear-
tedly; but, aided by an ad-
rnlnistration, leaning rather to
party than law justice. the and
will of the people was made to
seem in doubt Corrupt cleo
ton boards In Florida. Louis
lana and South Carolina were
bribed to change the returns,
and through the instrument
tally of a partisan bench of
Judges, Hayes was given the
seat to which Tllden had been
elected. Hence Rutherford B.
Hayes must live in the ANNALS
of the Republic as a warning,
as conspicuous instance of
the moral precept which warns
US that great station can be

Vail VIII BE Nominated.

Col. Mansur's campaign led off with
grand flourish. The idea of two
brave veterans, each minus an arm
lost in his country's defence, as lead.
ers proved alluring at first thought.
When given more mature eonsidera-
ton, however, strong objections be.
came apparent. We have outlined
some of these heretofore.
I In consequence, Vail current has
set in that bids fair to carry the Pom
/ fret gentleman into the second place.
Mr.. Vail has certain elements of
strength that all will acknowledge
and certain Others that considerable
portion of tn party feel disposed TO
look upon with favor. His ability TO
discharge the duties of the office with
honor, no one has disputed. While
not an organic office-holder. he has
held positions Of importance sufficient
TO give his friends plenty Of conf
dence in him. He has been a menu
Der of the House and Of the Senate in
the State legislature and is now on
the State Board Of Agriculture. His
fitness for the office of Lieutenant gov
ernor we have not heard disputed.
Then there are certain other reasons
why some Republicans would like to
see Mr.. Vail nominated. Firs.. he
frankly states that he does not aim to
Use the position rendered him, as the
stepping-stone to the governorship.
There would be no necessity for this
stand were it not for the odious prac-
tice in vogue until recently of pro-
noting lieutenant governors to the
higher office with clock-like rcgulari-
ty and with little consideration for
,hcir abilities. True, the rule was
disobeyed in 80 but in the nominal
tions of ex-Lieutenant Gov. Fuller in
'92 and ex-Lieut. GOV. Woodbury. this
year, it is easy TO note the tendency OF
a return to another rule not less in
furious to the party-the practice Of
promoting ex-lieutenant governors af-
