temporary chairman. This action will
be stoutly resisted by the silver men

matter of it's general aims. Teller
must come as a unit of the Democratic
party and the Democratic party must
not be a unit of Tellerism.
We believe that, as tempting as Tel
Ter may look in some respects, the
better sense and better cour-
age of Democracy, and the
feeling of even broader limits than
the issue now involved viii all prevail
toward the choice of a genuine Demo
crat who touches the Democratic
party at every point.
And Teller does not meet this test.
Quite number of weeks ago, 1T was
said, on good authority that, Cleveland
had a letter in soak full of good things,
among them a declination of nomina-
tion, which letter he proposed to send
to the first convention that endorsed
him for the Presidency. 1t was said
he could not decline what had not been
offered him. and that he would take
this method of making known what
he wanted and did not want.
The letter remained in soak, wait
ing in vain for some friendly beckon-
ing from some State convention-but
it never came, and so Mr.. Cleveland
threw his letter by main force upon
the people-the same letter that he
sent to the New York Herald. As no.
body would call for lit, he sent it un-
asked. And 1T has been received in the
same gratuitous way in which it was
sent. Both the letter and it's con
comitant, Mr.. Whitney, are imperti-
nent incidents in the whole situation,
and not a part of it. The majority of
the people reset them both.

CARLISLE NOT A CANDIDATE.

Secretary Carlisle has written letter
to the chairman of the Kentucky State
Democratic committee discouragiug the
efforts of his friends in that State to
bring about his nomination for the
Presidency by the national convention
at Chicago. Among other things the
Secretary Of the Treasury says:
while feel profound interest in
the welfare of my party am much
more concerned about it's declaration of
principles than its selection Of csndi-
dates, because In my opinion its failure
or success, as we'll as It's capacity for
useful service to the country in the
future, depend upon the position /, takes
or omits to take upon the public ques-
tions now engaging the attention of the
people and especially the question
affecting the monetary system of the
country and the character and amount
of taxation to be imposed upon it's citi.
zsns. Issposition upon these and other
subjects having been agreed upon and
clearly and distinctly announced, the
convention ought to have no difficulty
in selecting an acceptable candidate
who will fairly represent it's views; and,
in order that its deliberations may be
embarrassed as little as possible by the
contentious of rival aspirants and their
friends, think my duty to the party will
be best performed by declining TO par.
ticipate in q comes. for the zomins
tion."
AS President Cleveland has not vet
announced his inteation not TO be a can
dtdate for denomination, it may be
that the acceptable candidate" alluded
to by Mr.. Carlisle is the present chief
considered, the Secretary OF the Treas
ury has shown good sense in declining
to be candidate for the Presidency.
His chances for receiving the NOM
ination of his party are very slim. and
oven II nominated by the gold wing"
he would still be very far from an cleo
ton.
Seriously, this declination OF Mr.. Car
Isle seems to show, Notwithstanding
his apparent Indifference to the stand

with the platform adopted, that the
third term danger in the person OF Mr..
Cleveland Is still before she country

The Bohemian Spirit.

Ine bohemian Spirit
He does not believe in cold for1nality,
or, ut any rate, he didn't short time
ago. but Of course his views may have
changed. He likes bohemianism, he said,
md even went so far,as to inculcate
little of it into his boy. He wished the
latter to regard him ~as companion
rather than father and disciplinarian,
so he taught him to call him Henry in
stead of either papa or father.
For time the plan seemed to work
first rate, but it is barely possible that
he may regret it now.
The boy was such an apt pupil that it
only took him very short time to mas
ter the theory of true bohemianism, and
he showed his proficiency few nights
ago. The father was in the parlor enter
tanning some visitors, and the boy was
up stairs amusing himself by letting the
water run into a stationary washstand.
He put in the plug and turned the water
on full head, expecting it to run out the
escape pipe at the top of the basin, but
the escape pipe had gone out of active
business for some unknown reason, and
before the boy realized that anything
was wrong the water was running over
OH to the floor.
He turned it off promptly, but not
until there was quite pool of water on
the floor. He realized that something
ought to be done about that before his
mother saw it, and he naturally turned
to his companion" for assistance
He went to the top of the stairs, and
this is what the visitors in the parlor
heard floating down to their most:
Hi, Henry! Bring mop up here
and don't let the old woman know any
thing about it or there'll be trouble -
There was no lack of bohemian spirit
in the summons, but the circumstances
made it just trifle awkward, and it is
possible that he does not think SO high
ly of his theory now as he did at first
