If my name should be used in connection with the Presidency, the movement must originate with the people themselves, as well as end with them.

Joel Parker, ex-Governor of New Jersey, is one of the gentlemen of whom little bas been said in connection with the Presidency, but of whom it may be said that a more fitting one has not yet been named, nor one who is more likely to loom up conspicuously into Democratic favor, when the time for making a final selection has arrived. Gov.

Brnce the dusky, from Mississippi, was new to the Senate then and, he tiietaphor ically sat at the feet of the 'Radical Gamaliel Roscoe Conkling imbibing his superior wisdom. Loncheon the diet didn't agree with him; it was too strong, and Mr. Bruce rebelled, inwardly, at first, then a little while since he just asserted himself making a speech which Roscoe didn't indorse, and for which Roscoe will never forgive him. Last winter the too heads were often seen in closest proximity beautifully illustrating light and shadow, but no one could tell whether the black wool or the blonde kinked most, for Roscoe's hair is of the curliest, just think of the black ingratitude of Bruce the black man who having enjoyed Mr.

Conkling's companionship (inestimable blessings oh 1 could bape-ly desert him now. PINCH doesn't hover over the Senate so elclng. ively as he did. You find him now in the. House much more frequently.
