Tt may be added that we have seen in Mr, Lincoln's weil-remembered handwriting the Jectining to interfere in the nominatic of Vice President. ‘They were anawer to a direct letter of inquir; nse of the Illinois delegation in the cunven- tion, of which Hon. B.C. Cook was the chair- man, and were a+ follows: “Wish not to interfere about V. P. Cannot interfere about platform. Convention must Judge for itwelf.”" ee The Rock Creek Park ease has not only been decided by the District Supreme Conrt in gen- eral term. wer as tosustain the act cresting the park and to insure the appointment today of appraisers as requested in the petition. The decision af complishes these results by 1 matter the right of eminent domain of the gen- eral government under the cession of the seat of government by the state of Maryland in 1791. The objection raixed to the excreise of this right was based on the alleged reservation in the act of cession of the right to exercise the power of eminent domain by the United States Within the District ofColumbia. Judge Hagner, whe delivered the opinion of the court, after aclear statement of the law of eminent domain as applied to the individual states and the general government, held from the cireum- stances at the time of the settlement of the seat of government here and the words of the Maryland act of cession, as well as the prece- dents furnished by other cases, that the right exists in the United States and that therefore the Rock Creek Park act is constitutional. This decision of a most important matter affecting the Dittrict of Columbia and the rights of the national government is highly gratifying to the public. It affirms the recent legislation of Congress: upholds the only living theory of government, is itself fair, equitable and in the kne of precedents, and caunot fail to set at r amber of vexatious questions, while it enables the carrying out of an import- ant measure intended for the public comfort and benefit. There is no iuterferenee with private rights which is not necessary for the beneficial purpose in view, and in such matters the individual's intercats yield to the com- munity'® see j The democratic reliance for 1992 seems to be on the failure of the third party movement in the south and its success in some of the north- Western states. The signs favor the democrats sofar asthe southern states are concerned, although there is still a good deal of soreness in certain quarters. A glance at the electoral figures is worth while. If mutters stand as they did, the solid south will give the demo- | cratic nominees 159 votes. which, in a college | of 444 electors. will lnck 64 of a necessnry 223. New York.

Every oue of these states, say the democratic lightuing esl: uiators, elected a ma- jority of democrats to the Fifty-second Con: gress and the third party i= more than likely te merease the chances fur democratic success in the presidential election. These states are all neceswry to the republicans tat is to say, unless the loss of any of them exn be more than compensnted for by gains from the south- ern or eastern states.
