from Gov. Candler*s interview
"If Mr Cleveland w inted to give the

If Mr. Cleveland had sold before the

would have compared him to an nnkn.il

PITKIN** 1 NIHIINIi.
Mr IMtkln. the ptkstma'-ter at New Dr
leans. has fount! it advisable to resign tils
office. It i rarely that the holder of a
good office resigns, nnd when h* does It
is for a g<ssl reason. evidently Mr
Fit kin had r goo<l reason.
Mr. IMtkln has been • Republican for
many years. He was one during the re
construction |eriol. ll** used to is* a
rather fine looking man and a verv |san
pma one. Doubtless he retains his pom
posity still.
In one of his long stops In Washington
waiting for an office he t>eMme acquaint
ed with a widow. Subsequent events In
dicate that she woa a wailful woman. At
any rate she follow*-1 Mr. Pitkin to New
Orleans when he was appointed i*ostm.s
tcr of that city, and by him was mad**
bis private secretary, though there la
lacking evidence that she bad any quali
fications for f In* H e.
Together they wrote n novel and named
It “Dove ami IVdUlce." It Is full of pas
sion. poetry and politics, it Is a Help'd
by the woman tha.l It Is a true story of
a section of the lives of herself and IMt
kin. It contains some comments on th**
President that must make the Chief
Executive f**el that office holders as well
as republics are ungrateful.
For some reason or other Mr. Pitkin
and the woman quarreled, and she threat
ened to have him prosecuted for sending
to her. through the malls, letters of a
character that are forbidden by the poet.il
laws. Then he had her arrested on a
* barge of stealing some articles from his
desk, and tried, it is alleged, to get the
letters from her. Bhe was released from
Jail a few day* ago on her own tamd. and
now Pitkin* has resign***!. It looks an if
the wuvmtit had the better of the fight.
That was good advice which Mr. Weller
gave to his son Hammy about widows.
Clifton Holme*. a N..' York drummer,

probably correct. The Democracy, how

When ho wan a candidate for President
he wan always certain of a big audience
when he wan announced to make a . ptc*?r

|eatl< r of a great political parly. Ills repu

attraction. The people wanted to tear

to reed what he wrlten. Therefore It In
certain that hln paper will ntart oft with
