put his fat-ribbed, heavy-footed horse to
the road at such pace that O'Rourke
had i've minutes to wait for the train. He
secured a ticket for the first stage of his
journey. and walked on to the platform
carrying his portmanteau. He had been
thinking Of Angela and Maskelyne and
his own chances all the way: but now
he suddenly recalled Dobrosk to mind
That venerable conspirator and he would
travel to England together, for Dobroski
was on the train.
Nothing occurred to make the journey
particularly remarkable, and the two
companions were silent for the most part

roski and O'Rourke at Brussels, and
pointed them out one to another; and at
Dover they were known again, and Gre
ated little stir ~ they walked up and
down the platform, side by side, waiting
for the train.
They arranged where to meet again.
and Dobroski betook himself to the
streets, whilst O'Rourke went upstairs to
sleep, giving injunctions to his servant
to call him in four hours precisely. But
after entering the bed chamber and lock-
ing the door he stood awhile in thought.

LETTER OF JUDGE GRAY,
WHICH NOMINATED KERN

DENVER, July 1.-THE letter o
Judge George Gray, preventing hi
and which caused the Sc
lection of John w. Kern. when it wa
read to the convention, was as follows
Wilmington, Del, July l.
To the Chairman of the Delaware
delegation to the Nat1onal
Democratic Convention:
Dear Sir-You of course know
from my letter to the Democratic
State convention by which you and
your associates were appointed dele
gates to the Democratic national
convention OF my absolute unwill-
ingness that my name should be
presented as candidate for the
presidency. Since then have re-
peatedIy, in the public press and
otherwise, stated that I would not
be a candidate for such nomination,
and / now write to you, and through
you to the Delaware delegation, my
unqualified and peremptory refusal
to have my name so considered.
In saying this 1 am not unmind-
full, as l said In my letter to the
, State convention, of the great honor
done me by the convention and my
Democratic friends in Delaware in
urging this presentation of my
name, and 1 appreciate more deeply
than I can express the personal
kindness with which the suggestion
of my nomination has been received
by my Democratic and other friends
throughout the State. My duty to
them, however. as we'll as to myself
requires that I should speak with
perfect frankness and say that tho
reasons which control my judgment
in this matter are insuperable.
I suppose 1 need hardly add that
all have said applies equally to
the suggestion of my name for the
vice presidency and that under no
circumstances could l accept the
honor of such a nomination.
With kindest regards and best
wishes to each member of the dele
cation. 1 remain, yours respectfully.
GEORGE GRAY.

Then, that platform is going to be
worth thousands of votes in our State.

The happiest man in the New Jersey
party is, of course, James E. MARITIME,
who wore all the edges off his voice
