There should bo ono Judicial Trial

Ministerial Trial Justices in criminal

bringing tho Minister t<> realize his situa

what had transpired, his Secreta: , visited
the newspaperofticcs ami correspondents
and tried to induce them b> say nothing

his rounds Monday afternoon, but met
with such poor success that he advised

tho fact that thc Minister's wife ami
daughter were due to arrive by yestorday
morning's train, they suppressed tho
story, provided thc matter did not Do
como notorious throughout the city,
when further attempts nt concealment
would be impossible. This arrangement
was made Monday evening, but Tuesday
tho story had become so thoroughly

will give il as a contribution to history.
Thc hostility <>i >ir. Daua ?.sot early
?late When Mr. Cleveland was elected
Governor of New I'ulU, Mr. I 'ana made
au urgent ruined that bo appoint Mr.
Franklin Daniell on bia shill io J uduc
Advocate General. {Shortly uflor this
recpicst wa s made, and when Mr. Dana
was liii:.;.i: bis friend wool I certainly
gottlioappoudmo.it Mr. Chas. MeCuue,
litte propriel.I' ?hu I ht ll a lo Courier,
happened to bc al Hie Manhattan Club

IK a mau wh<> is more hiiluuntiul with the
administration Limn Daua, li i Henry
Ward lleccliei', and he ?H backing Mora
Iii? C. King." King was apiiointcd and
Dana ttl once commenced war.
Soon alter lids, however, Mr. Cleve
land conceived Ibo idea ol' hav ing a se
lect dinner parly al Albany, and eon
eluded ho wimbi Invite Mr. D ina, lie
accordingly com missioned Mr. Manning
to approach Dana on tho subject, which
was doue, and tho editor of tin-sun said
ho woura 'A"- Mr. Mantling then told
liim that the Governor, would lis adato
anti send him au in\ dation. Tillie passed
on, the dato was not lixed, the invitation :
waa not sent, and thal particular dinner I
was le vcr given; hence I bese tears.
Pulitzer's grievances are also of a
purely personal nature. !!. went to
Washington after tho inauguration with
his family, notified members ol the Cabi
net Hud he was then , und expected holli
tito Cabinet oillex rs and thc ladii io! tin ii
households to call on him ami his, which
they dill not do. I.'ulit/.ci' wasalsu ?onie
what disappointed al his rec? pt ion at thc
White Mouse, lb: had to Willi his lill'll,
like other mortals who had made much
better records in tho army and out of it,
Tho fact that he lia l boo?i deserter did
liol help ililli.
Then tlio liidinnnpoli Sentinel man,
who is now so hot in tho collar, was an
applicant foroilico, which ia-did not gut;
and the same is trite of Ibo Alexandria
editor, from whose obscure newspaper
tho World and Sun tpioti willi so much
(satisfaction, though it is doubtful if
i ?ber Dana or Pulit/.t r kuov. Iii n .. ic
,r tho name of his i aja v bi toro it coin
menced to attack tlio President.
Tho Connor-Journal's hostility can
also lie traced Ic personal grievances.
Watterson had done much loose bilk
during the campaign, nevi r missed au
opportunity lo depreciate Mr. ( loveland,
and, then: is much evidence to show,
privately preferred the election of Blaine,
though Haider iran would not allow him ,
to destroy the paper by betraying thi>
preference in its editorial columns. After
('loveland was elected anti inauguintcd,
Watterson was exceedingly anxious to
make pence willi Hie m w and uuexpech d
powers in Washington. Ile accordingly
wrote to his friends, in different portions
ol' the country win. were also friends el
the President, and through th? in st cured
something ol ft favornblo reception. Ile
got a sop in tho way <<i getting a friend
or two appointed lo olliee, and he wrote
letters to tin Couricr-iloumul exalting
thu new President, endorsing his civil
service view s and, indeed, all other views
which tho President was supposed to
hold, and was almost nilen ivory elVusive
mid gushing in his admiration of Mr.
Cleveland, .Mis- Cleveland, thc Cabinet
anti everything connected with the nd
minist ranon.

Tho war is therefore i nangu rated by
I lindeman, and Watterson must be lin
tigurc head in tho light. To relied Hal

personal piques and disappointments ol

not haye bee?; conciliated or whose act ?vc
