Smashed crockery, fractured mirrors, lost babies, mislaid heir-looms, and the cook in confusion and despair. But one happy man, whatever his surly face may indicate — but one happy man—the janitor and the king. Bow down to him until you can lick him, and then get ready to move again THE STANDARD- BEARERS. INGS, according to old monarchical theories, are the appointees and selection of Divinity. If “the voice of the people is the voice of God" the heads of constitutional governments are also rulers by divine right. The choice of political conventions is not chance. The selection of a standard-bearer is frequently made because the nominee, lacking great national conspicuousness, will from absence of antagonisms be more likely to receive a generous party support. The first nomination of Mr. Cleveland was so inspired ; it was an important factor in the selec~ tion of Mr. Harrison. The defeat of Mr. Blaine and subsequently of Mr. Cleveland was the combination of opposing personal as well as politi- cal forces. It is impossible to strip a party contest from the atmosphere environing its leader. The platform of purpose and promise is subordi- nated as a pedestal for the figure of the nominee who is idealized and ma by party enthusiasm with impossit dowments. A carcer of opportu prominence is but a conspicuous target whose distance, range and area make it easier of attack. ‘The scant defeat of Mr. Blaine would have been impossible had he not been so familiar an object in the political field. The Democratic rout of the last presidential election was because Mr. Cleveland had become cven larger and more dngerous than his party. 7 Ivis likely that the next national con- test will be a reversal of previous methods of political masquerade. The contestants will be selected for the tournament with visors up, faces and weapons known. The country is weary of political dum- mies; the struggle will be on marked lines and by tried men. The interests are too vast, the hazards too great, to put the helm of the national ship in the hands of a cadet. ttt The Democracy will likely be coerced to a selection between two of its cham- pions, Cleveland and Hill, Mr. Cleveland may have lost the support of the free silver enthusiasts of his party, but achieved a reimbursement by his fran ness. The favoring and irrepressible lu- nacy of Mr, Watterson passes also in the south for inspiration, T ction, notwithstanding the “silver set-back” of the ex-president's letter, has less faith in Governor Hill, who, it claims, has shaped his course more in harmony with the hard-pan than the top-soil of the Democratic party. ttt The Republican selection is seemingly narrowed to a choice between Mr. Blaine and a renomination of the president. It is but just to say that the high place this administration will take in the history of the United States will be largely of the skillful building of the great secre financial annexation of South America in bonds of mutual inter conception and will be his achievement. Even those who a few years ago were appalled at his possible jingoism and predicted of his po success a general embroilment with foreign powers confess admiration for that diplomatic fairness, firmness and wisdom that has shown him the superior of old-world statesmen. Yet, notwithstanding rumors to the con trary, Mr. Blaine, as chief of the cabinet, the councillor and co-ordinate formulator of its policy, is too punctilious to place any personal embarrass- ments in the way of President Harrison succeeding himself, That Mr. Harrison has enmities and irritations to overcome incident to the di appointment of solicitations for place is beyond question. lis prudenc courage and honesty have, however, been tried, and he has earned and has the general confidence of the country.
