Prior to the Buffalo convention ex-
Corporation Counsel Delany of New
York, was a staunch adherent OF Ma
yor Mcclellan. He desired nomna-
tion from TammanS' for one OF the
judicial places for term of fourteen
years, and annual salary OF $1,000.
Murphy won out over the Mayor and
promptly Delany transferred his ale
glance to the Murphy camp with expec-
tation that this would land him the
judgeship. He resigned as corporation
counsel thinking that would placate
Hearst. In making up the judicial
ticket, Hearst refused to allow De-
lany the coveted place and Murphy
had to submit. So Mr.. Delany's prompt
transfer OF himself from one political
camp to another, did him no good, and
those who admire political honor. will
think that he got about what he de-
served.

SOLITUDE

Man cannot live unto himself alone,
Apart from all his kind.
For sad, internal meditation soon
Must wear away the mind.
Whose gentle fabric, in some hidde1
loom.
OF silent nature spun,
Fades in the realms OF solitary gloon
To nothingness, whence it was begun
Life is the summing up of separate
things,
Which go to make the whole.
The evil with it retribution brings,
The good upbuilds the soul;
Then in the busy world move on with
men,
In dutys ranks enroll.
And life's unchanging realms OF beau-
ty will. ,s

UF0ver cleveland rOr Inc senate.
The New York world urges the
Democrats of New Jersey, who are
locking fer a candidate for the Unit
ed States Senate whose capacity will
appeal to all citizens of the State"
to go straight to Princeton and get
Grover Cleveland. 1t is probably too
much to expect at this time. when
Eastern Democracy seems to be drunk
on all sorts of poisonous nostrums
ttat the Jerseymen will have patri-
otism and loyalty enough to lead them
to select so clean, able and healthy
minded man to represent them as
Mr. Cleveland, but 1t Is some consola-
ton to reflect that amid all the con-
fusion created by the opposing isms
affiicting the party and the clamors of
the noisy demagogues there are some
left of sound minds and healthy ideas
who stand for truth, principle and
public sanity. Grover Cleveland in
the United States Senate would at
least bear testimony to the fact that
while the old ark of the Democratic
covenant has been handled very
roughly in recent years and has been
forced at times into very bad compa-
ny. is still intact and will in time
come into the hands OF it's own.
