friends of Mh Dlaino nro doing all in their
power Wiectiro hit election. Mr. Mortoh
did magnificent work for Blaino and he ought
to reccivo some recognition. Messrs,
Elkins, . Jones . and, Fcssondcn and
nearly ???all 'tho Blaine politicians, aro
unanimous that a stronger, abler and more do.
candidate could not bo named. Tho
, xqpubfep force,s abb divided. Arthur docs not
possess tho good wBl of tho Blaine men because
bo. 'exhibited an 1 unwillingness to aid in this
election of a republican Successor. Ono word
from him and tho county ticket fiasco would
uevor havo been permitted. This blunder cost
Blaine 3,000 votes in this county alouo.Conkllng
has incurred the enmity of tho half-breeds and
Iho friends of Mr. Blaine. The manner in
which Blaino was kuifed in Conk ling's own
county shows that the stalwart fooling is not
yet dead and that Conlding himself, indirectly
??? maybe, did-what he could to defeat the repub
lican candidate. Another thing against him
is that tho democrats want him.
"Cbauhcey M. Depcw is a third candidate.
I havo no means of knowing whether ho do-
sires tho honor or not. I am informed, on
whot I consider indisputable authority, that
Mr. Vanderbilt-does not desire that he should
enter tho race. If. tbqroforc, Mr. Depqw con
sults Mr. Vanderbilt's wishes, and he general
ly does, ho will not stand as a candidate.
There remains ex-Oovernor Cornell and
cx-Benater Thomas C. 1???Iatt. Tho for

rare, nnd I doubt it.Platt's name will be mon-
tlbtfed when tlii>: eancus is called. Now tho
Blaine men constitute a majority of tho re
publican member* of-the legislature. They-
will certainly prefer ,;to volo for tho friends
rather than * the enemies of tlicir sacrificed

ence to some recently published assertions
that American interests in Mexico are ia great
Cs moron was in the most genial humor, but
by aieries of diplomatic maneuvers avoided all
reference to his chances for re-election. Ma
gee, for his own amusSihent, endeavored to
evoko some expression front Cameron na to
wbat be thought of tho project.of sending
Bitine to tho United States eon at?? from Penn
sylvania.
. "I don't think Blaino wotfld spoil the find
record ho made in the largo majority he re
ceived in this state at the recent election by
becoming a candidate for senator,??? said Magee
smilingly.' Senator Cameron, without betray
ing tho least emotion, created much merri
ment by serenely goring at tho threatening
sky and declaring that it looked "very much
liko snow." Mo appeared very much amused
when attention was called to Senator Sher
man's statement that Senator. Cameron must
havo been .misunderstood when reported a*
having declared that the republicans in tho
United States senate would place obstacles in
the wsy of Cleveland's appointments. In tho
drollest manner Senator Cameron remarkod,
"John Sherman nover did sao a joke."
Chris. Magco says thero will bo no material
opposition, if anv, in the republican legislative
caucus to the selection of Cameron as his own
successor. This view is shared by many
other republican politicians. The defeat' of
Blaino bna rather increased .than diminished
Cameron???s .chances for re-election. It is
claimed by some of his friends that 131 of tho
172otthe republican members of tho legisla
ture are already pledged to his support.
Protecting tlie President's Message.
Washinotoit, November 27.???It is a curious
fact that Mr. Arthur is tho only republican
president whoso messages havo not been
printed in ndvonco of their presentation to
congress. Last year ho called Public Printer
Hounds to the white house, and said that ho
should hold him responsible if thero
wero any premature publications of
tho document. This year ho mado the
rame declaration. Mr. Hounds is sotting up
the document himself, with tho assistance of
Cadet Taylor, bia first assistant. Ho is cor
recting all proofs, und the typo is looked up
in his big safe when not in use. Mr. Rounds
says responsibility is making his hair grow
wiiite, but ho is doing his best to protect tho
president's message from unworthy eyes.

that thero Was no. deception about i?? Mr.

"All right," said tho roan as ha wont out,

During tho samo day the same man called
upon Maier & Delkin, gold workers on White

had handled and placed it on tho counter for
inspection. The package was opened

result as when Mr. Fry subjected it to heat.
Being thoroughly satisfied as to the value of
the metal, tho gentleman to whom it was
offered asked:
. "What do you want for it?"
"One hundred dollaas," was tho answer.
"I'll give you seventy-five." was tho offer.
"No, l can't tako that,??? and again tbo rapor

From the Gentleman's Magazine.
Among the 'many In stances of d iJTcmco be
tween ooraolvcs tnd our closest neighbors on tho
continent, nouo Is more striking than tbo manner
In which, iu writing or in speech, we address for
eigners.
While) with an guy assumption that in bestow
ing a-French designation bo is paying a compli
ment, the Frenchman addresses os Monsieur tho
stranger of every country from Coromandel to
Nova Zcmbla, tho Englishman strives to bestow
on each visitor bis appropriate designation, This,
the snoro polite couno, would be tho more scuil-
bio also If our knowledge wero cuual to our desire
to plcaso.
When, however, a Frenchman has Leon called
monsieur, a German herr, au lteliau signor aud a
Kpaulsnl seuor the limited acquaintance of most
LnjjllAhucu with foreign diodes of address Is at
"which of us knows how a Russ, a Norwegian, a
Greek, a Turk or a Montenegrin is to be called.
At this point we foil bock with a rather servile im
itation upon the French and address alias non-
sJrur, vbkm, wJlb ??oroo vafuo notion of rare, wo

Involves the general employment of Ur.
It Is donbttol In anotlkr respect which Is more
to be condemned, the pride of themsnvalse honto
of a Frenchman, that make* him decile# to speak

Methodism br Dr. Stephen* and that by Bishop
McTjdro and Bishop Wightmah is a good author
ity on this point. The first conference was hold
In 1741 by Wcxloy In Great Brltnlu. nnd iu 1701 the

In 1771, wheu Asbury came
America, there wero only ??????
Methodists on tho American continent chiefly iu
New York, Philadelphia nnd Baltimore. There
my a Jew local preachers from England and

the people. From sock-tics they grew into
e rcults, then Into quarterly conferences, thou
Into Informal annual conference* and
regular annual confereuocs, thon
Into Informal general conference
aud then Into a general cotaforonco aud a dele

in ul) its branches In America numbers 4,81<I,7J0

Presbyterians, 387,010 for the CongregationalUtr,

1o what can this unpanillolcd success lx
ireri bed?
It is nil of graoo, under providential direction!
from tho doctrines of Methodism.
Methodism teaches the fall of man, his depravity
and hlsrcdtraptlon.
It teaches that man Is totally fallon by tho Ad
amic transgression, aud that tho penalty was
death Jn totality-death of body, soul and mind???
Immortal death???tbo end of tho Adamloraco.
Every descendant of Adam owes bis redemption
from death to the mediation of Christ. God pro-
pored to people this world

and
executed that pmpooo. by tho gift of bIs son. God
did not permit Adam to fall???ho suffered him to
do??o. Mon was a freo agent, capable of Owing

The sentence of death pronounced against Adam
was not executed because Christ wax a Lamb stain

was co existent with tho fall.
