Unexpected and unprecedented fac tors may have presented themselves in 1S02 to puzzle the politicians and per plex th.3- party prophets, but since No vember G of that year affairs have set tled down to their old-time bais, and New York is once more the great bat--tle-gTOund of the democratic and re publican parties. It looked for a time as though popu lism liad so asserted itself in the west hat it could lay claim to a dominant, even if transitory, existence; but the elections of last fall and this spring proved otherwise. New York may safely reassert herself as the pivotal state, a position which she never has really lost. And for this reaRon the leaders of both great parties, who from Washing ton are curec-iing-the preparations for the great struggle which has already be gun and which will was hot JBfcHns?Yfe;; even during the WRfrKw$Si ds- days' aro jooitmg xo mo Empire state to cast before tho shadow of that event which will josEyn choate. come with 1E9G. The man who is elected governor of New York, be he democrat or republican, will head or tail the ticket in 166. There nre few politicians who believe otherwise; yet only one man out of the fifty candidates may bo the govornor c f the Empire state. The result of the conrenticei to be held by the republic ans in September will probably be tho nncxpecte 1. The status of affairs in New York state is unprecedented. Tho rivalry be tween the committee of thirty and the Plat-Milolland factions extends throughout the country districts, al though it is confidently expected that these differences will be patched up by r-onvention time, and a candidate ac ceptable to ail factions nominated. No name is mofe frequently and fav orably mentioned as being agreeable to all sorts and conditions of republicans tlian that of Sir. Levi P. Morton. But as yet Mr. Morton, at present in Eng land, has given no intimation of what he intends to do. It may be stated, however, almost positively, that Mr. jVIortoa's name will not be presented to the convention. In tho first place Mr. Morton is seventj' years of age, nnd in the second place ho is not ablo physically to stund tho hardships of a j campaign. Ex-Vice President Morton will Tin- doubtcdly exert an inlluenco favorable to a compromise hetween the fac tions, resulting in the nomina tion of a man to take rank, pro viding he bo elected, with McKinley, Reed fend Harrison.

Francis Hendricks has been engaged in too many factional fights to be an acceptable nomineo. congressman Kay is not well enougn: known. The opposition would be such against either Hiscock or Belden that neither could be nominated. Mayor Green is -comparatively un known: Senator Lexow has not been long enough before the public Among' the others are perennial candidates, nono of them acceptable by the party leaders, except for the minor places. Viewed from a distance of threo months' time the contest has narrowed down to three men Joseph H. Choate, L. W. Russell and Cornelius N. Bliss. Aside from Mr. Morton's age and in firmities there are men prominent and influential in tho party who are inimi cal to him as a nominee. Joseph H. Choate, the leader of the bar of the United States, as he is recog nized by many to be, is one upon whom the eyes of a great number of republic ans are turned. He undoubtedly is the favorite with the Union League contin gent, as well as with the republican members of the New York bar. Among business men there is opposition to him because he is not a popular man in the accepted political sense of the word. Judge Leslie W. Russell, of St. Law rence county, is a man whose claims wul undoubted ly command large support. He was tho most efficient attor ney general the stato has ever had, and his ca- a ' i ' . !- bupreuiu ucuuu of New York, Leslie w. r.ussni.-. has been distinguished and highly honorable. He is, moreover, a popular man in all the strongholds of repub licanism. The times and the stato of business man's mind favor the candidacy of Cor nelius N. Bliss. Tho treasurer of the republican national committee occupies an unusual position with regard to the politics of the party. He has been identified with tho struggles of the party for the last two decades. As a business man he is widely known, and ns a leader in ait tne greater puDiia movements he lias been conspicuous. Mr. Bliss has been engaged in factional fight3. and at tho present time, as a member of the committee of thirty, ho is opposing the Platt-MilhoUand move ment. But even so, his connection with tho committee of thirty has been that of a man who acts from convic tion rather than mere factional prej udico. This fact is recognized by his opponents, and for this reason Mr. Piatt's opposition means less than it would in the case of any other man who can be classed as anti-Platt. It is paid by Mr. Bliss' friends that he will make no a-ctive canvass for the govern orship, but that if tho convention shapes it&elf upon lines favorable to his nomination, then ho will consent to be named. For third cholco with the leaders aro either Elihu Root or James A. Rob erts, their stand ing being in the order named. Mayor Schieren may be consid ered in tho light of a compromise nominee. T h o nomination will bo made with more of a view to influencing the result of the Ei.nnj hoot. convention of 1S9G than to the nomina- tion of a governor. This cannot be done unless perfect harmony prevails, ! and, judging from the number of can- j dates already in the field, this is not likely. If no satisfactory nominee can i c ueciaea upon wnom tlie voters oi New York could accept as a candidate for national honors, then Mayor Schieren, who was born in Germany and who is therefore ineligible to tho presidency, may bo chosen. Even though ho possess the Erie and Gen esseo vote, Roberts' chances for sec ond placo on tho ticket are much bet ter than they are for first, with tho itrength of the convention pretty evenly divided between him, Senator Lexow and Spaakcr Malby. At tke present moment there is but little doubt among the leaders of the republican party that the next gover nor of New York will be either Joseph II. Choate, Cornelius N. Bliss or L. W. Russell. Just what course tho leaders of tho party will pursuo in regard to the con vention has not yet been determined. Mr. Morton's advice in this matter" will have great weight. A number of prominent republicans will visit Eurone next month, and Mr. Morton is not so far out of the general route of travel that he cannot be seen and consulted. THE DE3JOCBATIC CANDIDATES. " The situation within the democratic party in New York state is chaotic, and the result of tho state convention problematical. It is purely a question as to who comes out on top the admin istration or Mr. Hill and Tam many; but there may be a com promise on Mr. A illiam C. Whit ney or some man persona grata to both divisions of tvn.r.OJ c whitxkv. tho ew York democracy. However, this is not prob able. The result of last fall's state election was wholly unlocked for. It was more of a surprise even than the result of November S, 1S92. It placed Lieut. Gov. Sheeban on the shelf and wrecked the machine hieh Senator Hill, Sen ator Murphy and the rest of them had so laboriously put together. But it bore equally a& hard upon the anti snappers and the politically moral and the politically corrupt came to grief ticrether. If their calculations had not gone for naught it was the inten tion of the Hill-Tammany democracy to put William Shcehan ia nomination ir the governorship, and placste Flower with Hill's place in the senate, should the ambitious senior senator succeed in his endeavor to secure the nomination in lKKi. But the plan went "aylfly"' and a new plan is now formula tins:. ?v -btwcHMskmHand J H. .

On the contrary it waxed fiercer than ever with the defeat of the nominations of Hornblower and Peck ham. Neither side is now in a placa tory mood; neither the pres- charles scueriex. ldcnt nor the senator will permit the other's wishes to receive unhampered and unembar rassed consummation. This fact is recognized by every democrat, and for this reason there has not been a rush to launch early booms through the newspaper press. It is believed by a majority of the democratic leaders that Gov. Flower will be renominated. He is already assured the support of Tammany; this, it is stated, in payment for the veto of the anti -Tammany bills, so called, and more particularly the Lexow appropriation bill. There is one reason in particular whv ' Mr. Hill and Tammanv Hall should desire the nomination of Ros well P. Flower for governor Mr. Hill's ambition to be the choice of the next national convention. So early in July, 1893, Mr. Hill's plan of campaign was mapped out. It was known, for Mr. Cleveland IiimscH had so stated, that tlie New York senator could not expect any favors from tho administration, and that in the last political will and testament of Grover Cleveland Mr. Hill would not be even named, much less be the chief beneficiary. For this reason it was decided that Mr. Hill should make no effort to please the ad ministration, but should alienate as many as possible from fealty to the president and try to secure a personal following in congress and among the business men. The defeat of the nom inations of Messrs. Hornblower and Peckham gave tho senator the prestige he desired in congress and the income tax feature of the tariff bill his golden opportunity to make for himself a high place in the estimation and respect of bueiness'.nen; more especially the busi ness representatives of the east and north. Senator Hill stands to-day much bet ter with the men who accused him of misrepresenting them at Albany and of trickery und peanut politics than he has ever stood before. He has become a national figure and his name is men tioned with ro-pect and liking in Wash ington. But Senator Hill is too good a politician to believe that any machine man can bo clocted governor of New York and too good a partisan and care ful of his own ambition and plans ever to consent without a struggle to tho last ditch to the nomination of an ad ministration man, for such a consum mation would blasthis hopes for higher preferment the presidency. Senator Hill's efforts and the efforts of the old machine will be directed to the renomina tion of Gov. Flower. They will bo this, knowing that Gov. Flower can not be reelected, nis defeat, of course, would re move a- danger ous man from the senator's path, a path which has been kosweli, r. flower. strewn with obstacles and dangerous with pitfalls and administrate o and anti-snapper spring guns. If it were thought possible for Gov. Flower to succeed in reelection, then his nomina tion would be opposed, for his success would mean his ranking with any man in the democratic party before the convention in 1S9G. Hi3 defeat would make it possible for Mr. Hill to saj-: "I am the only nominee who ever carried New York state in the face of great odds, and nevor was defeated, although both Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Flower have been beaten." Mr. Whitney has been asked to run but whether he will or not he has not decided. It is believed the administra tion would consent to part with Daniel Lamont and run the chances of finding b new and satisfactory secretary of war, provided Mr. Lamont could pet the nomination. Smith M. Weed har bors gubernatorial ambitions and so does Mr. Bissell, of the cabinet and Buffalo. Congressman Lockwood, of Buffalo, has announced his candidacy, and Bourko Cochran could be induced to run. Among the administration favorites are E. Ellery Anderson, A. S. Hewitt, ex-Secretary Fairchilds, and Joseph C. Hendricks. The signs all point to the nomination of either Gov. Flower or William C Whitney. Air. Flower's chances are good, for he already has the support of Tammany, the Kings county ex machine. Senator Hill. Senator Murphy and William F. Sheehan. Sheehan and McLaughlin, however, are worth as supporters only what they arc worth- Sapient Sentences.

Then they idly lifted their locks as tho sun shone upon them and watched tho pretty sparkle as it widened and lengthened into uneven, brilliant spots on tho water's surface. Then they twined and coiled their ringlets and produced all sorts of fantastic effects. So the idea of the coiffure was born. The Egyptiai didn't stop until bhc had evolved an elaborate arrangement that set her face in a frame of wondrous ; glossy braids, relieved by gold and jewels. She plaited her long- black hair in innumerable small braids and tied two or three of the braids together with woolen strings. TI j braids hung over her shoulders and were bound to gether about the head by a fillet of gold, set with precious stones. She v?3. -."t -CVVx IZtz &3l&ZT !TT-ir-"f geeek; coiffttp.k woex bt sibti. sas-- DEESOX. hung a blue lotus flower over her fore head, and the short tresses at the side she plaited and caught with the hair at the back. The Jewcis, when she paid her first visit to Egypt at the invitation of the Grout Joseph, was quick to see tho ad vantage tho Egyptian possessed over her; and tlie fashion was at onco adopt ed. The Jewoss does nothing by halves so in front her hair was elaborately befrizzled, at the back it fell down in long braids that were interwoven with bright ribbons. Sometimes she curled it all over, and let the ringlets fall loosely, adding a diadem on her fore head, or a fillet inlaid with jewels, or that network of sequins or gold which her descendant in the east w ears to this day. Tho good old prophet Isaiah was moved to reprovo their vanity, and even to prediot the time when the Lord coiFruEE or adt asttesxet. should take away the "wimple, crisp ing pins, the mirrors, the hoods and the veils."

A more elaborate ar rangement was a round chignon of plaits, a taU frontal of small curls ris ing like a diadem above the head, small, regular curls about the fore head, and three small ringlets in front of each ear. But the Roman matrons were but women, after aU, severe as they seem to us; and after awhile we hear of their frizzing and dyeing-, waving and tying' their hair, making- it into pretty bows, j manufacturing to some extent; and, finally, of keeping several coiffures on I hand, ready to don at any moment, i But some dissenters loved to pattern I after the style of the vestal virgins, who veiled their locks, allowing only a few to peep out about the forehead. It was in the tweUth century that the feminine portion of modern Europo s woke to the possibilities of the coif fure. They began with long tresses floating- over the shoulders, and held in place by a simple head band. But their ideas with true western progres sion were quick to embrace more than one arrangement. Before the tweUth century had ended we find the tresses caught up in a great loose net at the top of tlie head, hanging apparently from two brass knobs that were placed on I the forehead over the ears. By what means this fantastic couture was in duced to remain in place, we are left in ignorance. Almost more grotesque, however, was the steeple head-dress, which is still occasionally seen in Normandy. It reared itself to great height from one and a half to two feet and a drapery of fine lawn floated from its peak. Sometimes the drapery was no j&at, jjnnxnAr.DT as sun wears iter hait. dt cleopati:a. larger than an ordinary handkerchief, but more often it fell over the dress, nnd not seldom to the feet. This stylo was restricted to dames of hkrh rank, The lower classes used a cloth cap, with pieces sticking out on each side I that resembled tho ears of an ape. ' Addison tells us, in his Spectator, how, when Thomas Connecte launched his invectives against it from the sacred pulpit, the women mado a great bon- ' fire of them all but no sooner wai lie gone than, liko snails, they shot out their horns when the danger was over. Kathorine of Aragon covered her hair with a soft drapery, fastening it to a diamond frame that pointed over her forehead, and was carried down j each side of the face. Queen Mary ''wore n curl that was so massive and ponder- i ous with gold and jewels that she was ! fain to bear up her head with her i hand." i It was not much later that the women adopted a "wagon" headdress, which seemed most grotsque of all. It was made of gold threads, drawn by six dapple grays of blown glass, with coachman, postilion and gentlemen within. Of course only a lady of quality could bcar such a headdress with be- coming gravity. n moments oi naste or excitement, her dignity must have been difficult to maintain, for even tho most stolid of waiting maids would not be insensible to the ridiculous attitude of a mistress who exclaimed, as a poem of that period has it: "Xelly whero Is the creature Cedf "Put my post-chaise upon ray oa." Some high dames preferred sailing to rolling with swift wheels along smooth paths, and these evolved from I their coiffure a wonderful ship, -with ! flags flying nnd sails set. j After such absurdities, the women of i to-day may fairly congratulate them selves upon their moderation. And yet it takes little more than a breath to eend-them all flying in one direction. A beautiful actress will arrango a curl at a fetching angle; ami lo! all woman- kind trill adopt tho fancy, whether be- coming or not. When Emma Eames. as Elsa, wears thoso wonderful braids, tho whole world of women begins to plait and coil. When Melba drops her hair in soft waves, in Carmen, all the irons that were laid away are aguin brought forth, to manufacture the soft ringlets. When Sibyl Sanderson moves majestic ally about in clinging robes and simple ijreek coiffure, all the world puts a fillet in its hair; and when Bernhardt shakes out her locks in her Cleopatran moods, there is nothing to be done but regret that society will not permit tho loose-faUing tres&tis. But womankind gets this benefit, at least, from all her impetuosity that she need no longer follow anv pcrticu- lar fashion of arranging- her hair. Most society women, indeed, pay scant cour tesy to prevailing mode; and wear the lame coiffure so long as it Kit.i them. Maegaeet. ljb-Kox Gymnastic.
