The follaw- " ffom Samuel J. TiMcn has been liven to the Associated Press: Nkw York, June 10, 1884. f0 Danid Manning, Chautnan of the jkmocratic State Committee of New York: In my letter of June 18, 1880, ad &d to the delegates front the State of New York to the Democrat ic national convention, I said : "Hav iflg now borne faithfully my full share of the labor and care in the? pub lic service, and wearing marks of its bordens, I desire nothing so much as an honorable discharge.

In renoun cing the reiiomination for the Presi dency, I do so with no doubt in my Biud as to the vote of the State of 'ew York or of the United State3, but because 1 believe that it is a re Duuciation of an election to the Presi dency. To those wlj think my re nominal ion and re-election indispen gable to an effectual vindication of the right of the people to elect their rulers, violated iu my person, I have accorded as-long a reserve of my de cision as is possible, but I cannot overcome my repugnance to enter into a new engagement which involv es four years of ceaseless toil. The dignity of the Presidential office is above personal ambition, but it cre ates in me no illusion. Its value is as a great power for good to the coun try, I said four years ago in accepting the nomination. Knowing as I -do, therefore, from fresh experience, how great the difference is between glid ing through an oflicial routine and working out a, reform of systems a-nd policies, it is impossible for me to contemplate what needs to be done in theFederal administration without an anxious sense of the difficulties of ""the undertaking. If summoned by the suffrages of my countrymen to attempt this work, 1 shall endeavor, with God's help, to be the efficient instrument of their will. Such a work of renovation af ter many years of misrule, such re form of systems and policies to which I would cheerfully have sacrificed all that remained to me, of health, and life is now, I fear, beyond my strength. My purpose to withdraw from further public service, and the grounds of it friends to relinquish that purpose, I reiterated my determination uncondi tionally. In the four years which have since elapsed, nothing has occurred to weaken, but everything to strengthen the considerations which induced my withdrawal from public life. To all who have addressed me on the sub ject, my intention has been frankly communicated. Several of my most confidential friends, under sauction of '.heir own names, have publicly stated my determination to be irrevocable. That I have occasion now to consider the question I share no responsibility. The appeal made to me by the Dem ocratic masses with apparent unanim ity to serve them once more, is enti tled to the most deferential considera tion, and would inspire a disposition to anything desired of me. If it were consistent with my judgment of duty. I believe that there is no instrumen tality in human society so potential in its influence upon mankind for good or evil as governmental machin ery. For the administering of jus tice aud for the making and execu ting i he laws not all the elemosynary institutions or private benevolence to which the philanthropist may devote their lives are so fruitful iu benefits as the reserve and preservation of this machinery from perversion that make it the instrument of conspiracy, fraud and crime against the most sacred rights and interests of the people. For fifty years as a private citizen, never contemplating an official career, I have devoted at least as much thought and effort to the duty of in fluencing a right action of the govern mental institution of my country as to ail oflier objects, I have never ac cepted official service except for a brief period, for a special purpose, and only when the occasion seemed to require from me that sacrifice of private preferences to the public wel fare. I undertook the State admiuistra lion of New York because it was sup posed that in that way only could the executive power be arrayed on the side of reforms to which, as a private citizen. I had given three years of my life. I accepted the nomination for the Presidency iu 1876 because of the general conviction that my candidacy would best present the is sue of reform, which the Democratic majority of the people desired to have worked out in the Federal govern ment as it had been in that of the State of New York. I believed that I had strength enough then to reno- I nevertheless acted upon the idea that every power is a trust and iuvolvea a duty. In reply to the address of the com mittee communicating my nomina tion, I depicted the difficulty of the undertaking, and likeued my feel ings in engaging to those of a sol dier entering battle ; but I did not withhold the entire consecration of my powers to the public service. Twenty years of continuous malad ministration under the demoralizing influences of the intestine war and of bad finances have infected the whole government system of the United States with cancerous growths, false constructions and corrupt practices. Powerful classes have acquired pecu niary interests in official abuses, and the moral standards of the people have been impaired. To redress these evils is a work of great difficulties and labor, and cannot be accomplish ed without the most energetic and efficient and personal action on the part of the Chief Executive of the Republic. The canvass and administration which it is desired that I should un dertake would embrace a period of nearly five years, nor can I admit any illusion to their burdens. Three years of experience in the endeavor to reform the municipal government James G. Blaine is a menace of evil to the republic. Of all the citizens that were proposed to the assembly of partisan electors Monday, and of all whose names have been mentioned in connection with that office, Mr. Blaine is the least fit, the least trustworthy. He is, pcrhajis, the most intense par tisan in America. Moreover his par ty ism is not the party ism of a states man who is guided by sincere convic tions founded on broad knowledge and understanding. It is the party ism of a mere passion for leadership actuating a man of intense prejudi ces, of ugly temper, and of defective understanding, whose highest happi ness is in playing the ring-leader in a disturbance. Boston Herald, (Ind.) It is perhaps well, as we suggested a few days ago, when the nomination of Mr. Blaine began to seem inevita ble, that the party should ask the judgment of the people under the leadership of a candidate who embo dies more completely than any other man the real spirit of Republicanism. Believing that Blaine would be a bad and dangerous President, we hope to see him defeated. Believing him to be a weak candidate, we expect to see him defeated. His zealots say he can be elected without the Stale of New York. They will have a chance to prove it. Perhaps they think he can be elected without the help of Massa chusetts. It is nt improbable that of the City of New York, aud two they may have a chance to test this years of experience-in renovating the ! also. If the Democrats rise to the administration of the State of New York, have made me familiar with the requirements of such a work at the present time. The considerations which induced my action in 1880 nave become im perative. I ought not to assume a task which I have not the physical strength to carry through, to reform the administration of the Federal government, to realize my one ideal A the people would indeed warrant as they could alone compensate sacrifi ces which tile undertaking would in vole, but in my condition of advan cing years and declining strength, I feel no assurance of my ability to ac complish these objects. I am, there- occasion, nominate Governor Cleve land aud give him an honest sup port in his own State, we believe they will carry the election. How Seven Men Dispersed 1,200. Mr. George V.

We only chronicle what is patent fact to every discerning person that the Domocrats can win thousands. of Republican votes for their Presiden tial candidates in mass, provided they select their strongest man. Springfield He publican, (Ind.) These nominations are revolution ary. They are such as the Republi can party has never before., presented and will carry dismay and alarm to thousands of men who have regarded this as the party of safety, of integri ty, of principle and of high moral ends. They portend deserved disas ter and defeat to the Republican par ty and a revolution in the national administration. Chicago Times, (Ind.) The Presidential candidacy of Mr. 1,500 of them in the business. The sheriff telegraphed the gover nor that he feared a riot. That morn ing a man came in and said the burn ers were assembling mounted and armed, and intending to come to town. The sheriff jumped on his horse, armed with a Henry rtfle and revolver. Before he got out of toWn he hallooed to six men to arm and follow him and meet him at a certain place. He could have had a hun dred men if he had said so. Meeting at the place he said : "I'm going to make a speech to that crowd, and they must and shall listen to me. Tie your horses boys, our Heurys are good for sixteen shots each, and our Colts for six each. Now don't shoot until I say the word, and not unless they defy me." Then on those seven men went on foot, about a quarter of a mile, and came to the strikers, ful ly 1,200 men mounted and armed, but sober, though like their race they became very excited on seeing seven armed men coming toward them. The leader rode down on them fol lowed by the whole gang. The sher iff said : "You know I'm the sheriff. You are an unlawful crowd. You must disperse." "To perdition with you and the law," and all that vast crowd were riding round that little band of seven men, with fearful oaths in their own language. "Boys," said the sheriff, "look sharp !" Furious ly the leader cursed and defied them. At the word "fire" the sheriff killed the leader, and seven bodies rolled from their saddles and the quick re peating rifles killed twenty of them before their horses could take them out of range. Had the seven kept their horses so they could have pur sued them, many more would have been killed. They didn't think the sheriff meant anything more than talk. Had they got into town and whiskied, there would have been an and so many mounted men were sn by the Italians urging their horses toward Eureka, they fled further into the mountains, thinkiug the whites were rallying to again slaughter them. That determined sheriff iu a few days went out to their haunts and told them they could return to their business and wouldn't be molested. "But if you break the laws you'll suffer worse next time." One said: "Pini Garlici's horse threw him, poor fellow ! and one of your men shot him." The sheriff told them they could go to town and get the bodies. A few went in, but they felt safest when the sheriff was in sight. Many left the county, and there has never been any more coal- Jbnrners attempting to defy the law. Our Vice Presidents. Baltimore Sun. In discussing the question of Presi dential nomination, the Philadelphia Bulletin suggests that as four out of the twenty-one individuals who have been occupants of the White House were Vice-Presidents, it is obviously the duty of nominating conventions to attach more importauce to the proper filling of the Vice-Presidential office than they have generally done in recent years. Tyler served three years and eleven months of Harrison's term. Fil Imore two years and eight months of Taylor's term. Johuson three years and ten months of Lincoln's second term, and Arthur when next March he completes his present period of office, will have served three years and six months of the terra for which Garfield was elect ed. As about twenty per cent., there fore, of our Presidents during the past ninety-five years were elpcted as Vice-Presidents, it is plainly incum bent on every nominating convention, following the intent of the constitu tion, to nominate to the second place on the national ticket as will, in case of need, be a suitable substitute for the President, and not put in so re sponsible a place some wooden-headed individual whose selection is cal culated solely with reference to the supposed "claims" of a certain section or faction. Of the four Vice-Presi- deuts who have been called on to service as President, the last two are not universally regarded as well fitted for the place. Still les, in popular estimation, were such men of negative ability as Wheeler and Hamlin qual ified for the place they might have been required to fill. In the early days of the republic abler men were chosen to preside jn the Seuate, and be at hand to sustain, if occasion should demand, the duties of the Presidential office. Adams, for ex ample, served twice with Washing ton, Jefferson with Adams, Aaron Burr and George Clinton with Jeffer son, the latter again with Madison, lompkins with Monroe, and Van Bu ren with Jackson. Even the great Oil houn served twice in the Vice-Presi deutial office. There has been du ring the last two decades of our his tory a trifle too much, perhaps, of mere trading politics iu the choice of V ice-President. Representations touching the dutv of friendly powers in regard to dynam iters have been sent by Great Brit ian to Washington. Gen. Gordon's sister has refused to accept the many offers of money she has received for the relief of her brother. She says that Gen. Gordon is a British officer and that it de volves upon the government to rescue him. Capricious Murder. Lynch burg, June 11. In Rnssel county, away from prompt mail and telegraph facilities, a young negro on June 5th shot and killed a little white boy out of pure vicious caprice. The negro was arrested and placed in jail, but last Friday masked men took him from jail and hanged him beside the public road. SAVE YOUE FRUIT!

Moral questions as affecting political move ments also come within the legiti mate province of religious journalism. On this ground we have not hesitated to speak on party issues which clear ly involved principles . of morality, believing that there is an obvious re lation between politics and piety. Holding firmly to this view, we rec ognize a moral obligation to express an emphatic dissent from many of the sentiments embodied in the platform of the Republican convention at Chi cago, and the means adopted to effect the nomination of the national can didates. But waiving, for the pres ent, the discussion of these questions, the public record of the Hon. James G. Blaine is such as does not com mend him to our judgment as a fit man to hold the highest place in the gift of our republic. Caesar's wife should be above suspicion, and a man who aspires to the presidential chair should be above the charges which dishonor the official life of Mr. Blaine. Hon.
