having shown in its first day’s work
that it will do nothing likely to runs
subsequent proceedings inter-
or important even if the logic

will look anxiously to

the nomination of Garfield and Ar

many respects, it is not so weak as to
give the Democrats a walk over or to
open a hopeful future to the third

be put down as not likely to carry any

that any blunder will be made by the
Democrats at Cincinnati. I think
they will act intelligently, and in that
case every Democrat in this city, in

j. The one thing necessary in selecting
a candidate is to avoid taking one
about whom there is some kind of
suspicion of financial irregularity as
against Garfield. This should be in
sisted on, first and last by every dele
gate. One of the cases against Gar
field may be stated as follows: In 1873
the government of this District,
through expensive improvements of
streets, was hopelessly bankrupt, and
‘Boss’ Shepherd, the head of the
government; asked Congress to vote
two or more millions of aid, Geueral

At a recent annual commencement
of the New York medical college and-

man, said : *To you, young women, I
will say : If I were a woman, which I
am thankful 1 am not, I would never
ask for rights; I would take them. I
will venture a prophecy that people
in future ages will reckon as au ele
ment in the barbarity of our time, that
women are not more largely used to
administer to the liodily ills of our
society. That it is so, is an outrage
on the delicacy and ability of woman.
