PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITIES.

The announcement of ex-secretary Whit
'ney, apparently made in cold blood. after
mature consideration and Tor business
reasons, that he would decline the Demo-
cratic Presidential nomination, if ten :
dcred him, places the party to which he
belongs in greater and more desperate
straits than have heretofore been lima gined
or conceived.
In this instance the most available can
diIate. possessing personal popularity, ex-
ecutive ability, conservative financial views
and all the requisites necessary to leader
ship, declines in advance the preferment of
the highest honor which it is possible for
his political associates to bestow.
In spectacular details, 1t far exceeds the
declination by Caesar of kingly crown,
and is only equalled by the refusal OF Rob
ert T. Lincoln 10 reap The benefit of that
sentimentality which attaches to the name

With Senator Hill millstoned by two
successive. and disastrous defeats, Secre-
tary Olney Handicapped by a corporation
practice of $1,000 per year, German
showed under by an avalanche of anti
bossism ballots, Walter Q. Gresham and
Isaac p. Gray gathered TO the silent ma
jority, Vice President Stevenson stultified
by : his former record as an out-and out
greenbacker, with Secretary Morton hay-
ing been candidate for governor of Ne
braska on the same ticket with Ben Butler,
Secretary Carlisle whipsawed in Kentucky,
and Senator Gray barred by geographical
limits, the condition which confronts the
Democratic party is alike remarka BILE aud
deplorable.
The only fact that stands out as n silhou-
ette on the blackness of the future is the
emphasized declarat ion that President
Cleveland is the only Moses that his party
Tan discover in the political wilderness.
If he should respectfully decline 10 become
the sacrificial lamb, the position OF the
party wolid. indeed. be beyond redemption.
There has never been an instance in the
history of party extremities when there
existed such dcarth of Presidential possi-
bilities. The inevitable conclusion cannot
long be deferred that the exigen cics OF politi-
of an unknown quantity. Just as Mr.. Hayes
was chosen by the Republicans in 1876,
and thus Mr.. Campbell OF Ohio, Mr.. Roies
of Iowa. Mr.. Anes of Minnesota, or some
other lesser light. for the leadership OF the
Democratic hosts. Z.
The natural inference would be that such
figureheading expedients must necessarily
prove fatal TO success, but it is generally
admitted fact that the prospects of vic
tory are at this time a trifle stunted in
their growth aud development. They are
far from spreading out like a green bay
tree and overshadowing the whole earth
Jude. such circumstances one man, whether
he be of high or low degree, will serve
the purpose as wen as another. 1t is GUS
toinary in making a sacrifice TO minimize
the actual loss aud at the same time mag
nifty appearances, while reducing to the low
est possible limit that which is given.
Such may be the attitude Of the Demo-
cratic party in bestowing its Presidential
nomination.

Senator Marion C. Butler, of North Caro-

registered at the Shoreham. When seen
by Times reporter,M Mr. Butler said:

ABOUT Ine ne west thing that has happened
down in North Carolina, and ono which
the general public knows nothing about,
was tne calnng OF convention by me
democrats TO deciare for free silver. The
democrats OF the section seemed To think
that the PopufistS were better silver men
than tncy were, and III consequence the con
vention was Called: Every,ning about 1t
was kept very quiet.
The press associations did not send any
thing ABOUT 1t to the outside world. The
convention assembled, and the following
resolution was passed: 'WheTcas We favor
the free coinage OF silver at Il q to 1, We viii
vote for II at the next election. We Will
vote for Congressman and for the candidate
for the Presidency and Vice Presidency who
is in favor OF the rree and unlimited coinage
OF SILVER. and then oniy fOrpeople whose past
record and platform Is their guarantee or
good faith ON the subject.
We al sOpleuge eourseivestovOtca against
any candidate, no matter by what party
nominated, who will not stand firmly on
the platform for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio OF 16 10 -
Now the politicians or the state are In
hiding, AMI u great many OF them deny
ever having attended the convention, but
there is absolutely M doubt that they were
there and voted with the convention.
The people proved ut the last election
that they would much rather have Satan
himself, who professps to be nothing else,
than to elect a man oh the Democratic
platform who Processes tn be an angel and
turns out tu be high priest among the
devils. No, / don't think Mr.. Cleveland
will ever be reDomnated, and another
thing, l hardly think there is a State in
the Union that would favor il. But, To re-
peat, am still of the opinion that the sill
yer men can organize the Senate II they
will only get together and stand together.

Representatives who have reached the
city Seem almost unanimous in favor OF Gen.
Henderson-tiIe older members ON grounds

STRENGTH OF HENDERSON.
During Vlearly quarter OF a century Of
service iIS tfe House Gen. Henderson made
many eabhsH and warm friends on both
sides of ute Chamber.
He waa a=sniember OF the Committee ON
COMMERCE for many years before that COM
mittee was divided and was subsequently
chairman OF the Committee on Rivers and
Harbors. Pennsylvania members recall
tile active work Of Gen. Henderson in
behalf OF the improvement of tie Delaware
River anu the removal OF Smiths and
Pettys Isi3iits from that waterway.
Representatives from the States border
ing on the great lakes feel under oblIga-
tions to him ior his iabors in securing ap-
preparations for Cecp water clidnnel by
which the draft OF vessels on those waters
was greatly increased and the cost OF trans
portation proportionately lessened-
Un,n Rcpubiica members make their
appearance in Washington no intelligent
prediction can be made as to which OF
the candidates will be successful.
MAKE A CLEAN SWEEP.
The best-known candidate for the post
mastership Is Capt. Sherwood, postmaster
OF Washington under the Harrison Admin
istration. lie is crippled Union veteran.
having lost leg in battle, and was post
master of the House of the Forty.third and
Forty-seventh Congresses.
An interesting phase of the race for chap
lain is the Claim to the position set up by
the coIorcd Republicans. AT least two
prominent culured dvines will, from present
signs, be among the candidates.
John T. Ross of Baltimore, who was
elected assistant postmaster of the House,
is now the acting pustma ster. and has been
for some months owing to the death OF his
chief, Mr.. Dalton.
1t is the custom of the House to rake
a clean sweep OF the offices when one party
succeeds the other in power. The minority
party is allowed deputy sergeani-at-lrms
and two or three mcssengers-iust enough
to do duty in guarding caucus.
1t is whispered among the few Republi-
can members who are now here that Mr..
Reed has eXarted a promise from the Re
publican leaders that he shall be given the
control of the House patronage as abso-
lutely as he will control the formation of
the committees, and as result the aspira-
tions of several gentlemen to positions
under the House are said 10 be certain OF
an untimely end. 1t is difficult TO esti-
mate the accuracy of this story, because
nothing has been heard from Mr. Reed HIM
self and but few Republicans OF prDmi-
Dente are now in the city.

such matters David Is. Hill has had an un-

Many of the Supreme Court justices be-

public life and active politicians. as witness
Chief Justices Taney and Chase and Asso-
ciate Justices Joseph Story. John Mclean,
Levi Woodbury., Nathan Clifford, and ex-
secretary Lamar. When President Madi
son named Story he wasso much of a Massa

THE PAINS OF RHEUMATISM

According to the hest authorities,
originate in morbid condition of
the blood. Tactic acid, caused by
the decomposition of the gelatinous
and albuminous tissues, circulates
with the blood and attacks the
tibrous tissues, particularly in the
Joints, and thus causes the local
manifestations of the disease. The
back and shoulders are the parts
usually affected by rheumatism, and
the joints at the knees, ankles, hips
and wrists are also sometimes at
tackled. Thousands of people have
found in Hoods Sarsaparills posi-
tive aud permanent cure for rheuma
tism. 1t has had remarkable sue
cess in curing the most severe cases.
The secret Of its success lies in the
fact that it attacks at once the
cause of the disease by neutralidihg
the Tactic acid and purifying the
blood,a we'll az strengthening every
function Of the body.
