A Trlbuno reporter saw Mr. Morton at tho Hanover, In Flfteentb-st., last night.

About two months ago 1 met Mr. Blaine In Part, several times, but nothing especial was said la reference to tbe approaching cam? paign- When I saw Mr. Blaine he was In the nest of health; In fact, 1 never saw him looting better in my life or more cheerful." In answer to tho reporter's question he said that Mr. Blaine was sangulno ot suc? cess for the Republican party and that lt was not so much the candidate as tho principles of tho Republi? can platform that would carry the day. Mr. Morton furthermore aald: "1 sincerely hope that Mr. Blaine wtll not w'lve up participation In politics.

The woman with a summer gown, hat and parasol ?cored o sweeping victory In Flfth-ave. and the Park yesterday over her rivals In the comparatively faded glories of Ranter bonnets and merely spring co. tome.. The first really warm Sunday of tho yem- was welcomed by an outpouring of rich and poor In the best clothes they had which eentred largely In Central Park. The. drives were gay with well-groomed turnouts, tho bridle paths were out up by the hoofs of hundreds of XAtwm, who?e riders urged thom fast, through the space hidden by the trees and reined them up to a walk at the open spots where they could see and be seen. All the avail? able seats were oocuplcd by peoplo who had walked out to see the procession and were made unusually weary by the unwonted warmth. The bright sun of tbe last two days has made tho buds on the earlier varieties of trees and plants burst out amaclngly and thc grass, which has been growing for some time now, formed a carpet of verdant velvet good to feast tho eyes upon. The restaurants did a thriving business and the number of pretty girls eatln,. tee* and strawberry shortcake on the piazzas must have mado big holes In the purses of an equal number of young men, whose fancies were evidently turning, kt the poet assures us they do, at this season of tho your. The animals attracted more than their usual share of attention, a;.u what with the crowds and tho hutt, the atmosphere of tho Bon h. uso equalled lu best July record. One of the funniest sights of the day was an athletic flrl spinning along ?on her tricycle, which Serried. fasten, d to the axle of the front win el, a i -at willow besket, from wblch protruded the head and shoulders of a vlllanous pug, who blinked contentedly el his mistress, seeming to enjoy tho attention ho attracted. The girl was accompanied by a youth on a bicycle, who seemed hopelessly far away for eoaversatlon, perched upon hla big wheel, aud evidently felt himself at a i,..advantage with the dog. What was evidently a married couple, of sedate years, went by also oil a tandom tricycle, and the writer looked to sec if they might not bo towing tho baby lu its perambulator be ___id, but they were not. dr. mcglynn on papal politics. Dr. MoG'ynn referred to tho Hope's condemnation of the Plan of Campaign In Ireland, at tho weekly meeting of the Anti-Poverty Society yesterday after? noon, In Cooper Guion, In somewhat fiery language. This la what he said : '" 1 havo spoken to you before of tho Interference of Rome In tho politics of other eouiitrl.-, and particularly In Irish politics. When asked whst I think of the latest move of the Pope, la denouncing tho struggle for liberty by the people of Ireland, the answer I would give ls: 'If thu Irish Nu tlunallsts In Ireland and America and Australia, aud Eugland can stand lt, well, I think I ran stand It somehow, too.

The transportation department of Barnum's big de? ens had a novel .xperlence on Saturday night while *h_ show was being brought across tho Bridge on Ita ?way Irom Brooklyn to Philadelphia. W ben the heavily ladon red wagons, each drawn by four horse?, began to roll down the New-York Incline lt was found necessary ,to chain up the left hind wheel In order to check tho speed. As the Inch and a half steel tire of tho chained wheel slid over tho Belplan blocks, the friction soon brought the metai to a white heat which in turn Ignited the wooden felloes and seeks*, so that nearly every wagon when ll reached New*Ter.: dragg.d a blazing whoel and a section of red-hot lire.

Wealth and fashion, Inlollect and genius were rep? resented In tho strolling throng lo broad war and Fifth Avenue on Saturday afternoon, and Tbe Tribune Stroller found lt difficult to tell which waa predominant. Russell Sag., with bia Immobile taco and Ita fringe of black whiskers, strode gravely up? town besltlo Julian Hawthorne, the writer, without being conscious of tl.e writer's Identity, who might possibly have been studying the man of puts and calls from a novel wrlter'a point of view The Rev. Dr. John Hall, towering above everybody around him. walked up tha street, his fine Scotch face wreathed with the smiles that come from tho heart. Over against the same buildings one caught a glimpse of the blonde whiskers and lithe figure of Henry Monett, the shrewd and active general passenger agent fa the New York Centra! Railroad. The Stroller selected him for his first victim. "Wo are getting ready for heavy business at the time of the National convention.," said Mr. Monett " We shall send several hundred Democrats out to St Louis In special trains. The New-York Republicans are a llttlo slow In arranging for Chicago. I should think they would want lo go out there all together In great trains that would make an Impression on Chicago and tho country. No one, however, Is willing to undertake the management of tho matter yet," The Stroller runs next across James W. Hawes, the lawyer, whoso peculiar habit of carrying his hoad on ono side ls marked, and whose sandy whiskers, parted In the centre, give him, with his blonde complexion, tho appearance of a German of good lineage. Mr. Hawes has been reading "The Nineteenth Century," and has been prompted by a perusal of the articles contributed to lt by Minister Phelps to criticise that gentleman's knowledge of Arnot kan history. " Mr. Phelps says that no Vice-President was ever re? elected." remarks Mr. Hawes, " This ls not correct. Four Vlco-Prc*ldonts enjoyed that honor. They wen John Adams, who served with Washington, George (linton. Daniel D. Tompkins, and John C. Calhoun. The resignation of Calhoun was handed in before he completed his second t.rm, but he waa twico elseled to tho office. Anotner serious error made by Mr. Phelps ls lils statement that Presidential electors In south Carolina have always been .elected by the Legis? lature. This was true up to ths time of tho war, but not slnco reconstruction. Possibly Mr. Phelps thinks the couutry has had no history since tho war." General George A.

I want to nay that during these four years the church committee ha. dropped eighty member*. The church owed lt to me that lt should clean housa before I came here; but It did not do that. Th.so eighty members left tho church not ou account of any ...Tci-ence of religious opinion- from mo, but they had become of no use to (ne church, and the committee I nipped them. lt ls not true that 1S5 have with? drawn frxmi the church since 1 havo boen here; lt might have been bcttet If thoy had.

The Rey. jj-., jo(in nj,ey Thompson preached on The Providential character of American Methodism" , before a large congregation In the Washington fJBjtBfa Methodist Kplm-opal .hurch last night. Tabing hla i 'ext from the first ve, .e of the CXVth Psalm, he said ; In part: " ls <;(H. ;n History? and If so, how shall we , discover and traco His presence clearly to our own j "--rids and convincingly to the minds of others!

The whole object of philosophical history Is to show that human society movos to a definite end. There ls such a thing as a " trend of events," a " drift of ages" ; more sud moro lt ls seen that In "evolution of things'* a moral purpose Is distinctly had In view. My purpose to-night la to uso the philosophical method to explain a certain body of facts of com par am dy recent occurrence in thc world's hts-i-ry, the ii ,", Amerlcaii Methodism, a subject peculiarly ap? plicable from fhe fa t that the Twenty-fifth Oeneral ( oc/ei-cnee meets li, New*Vork this week. the Englishman says truly that tho sun never sets on tho Queen's dominions; lt ii cquaiiy true tbat lt n,e,er sets on the territory of th.

HER ER NEWTON^ O.V MATTHEW ARNOLD. "PnRF.MINrcNTT.V~T.ir. CRITIC OT Ttr.LIGION, Hi: COULD NOT CREATF. ANEW." The Hev. Dr. K. Heber Newton spoke yesterday at All Souls' Church, on ? Matthew Arnold as a Religious Teacher." In the course of his remarks he said: This man af letters was far more than a mere littera? teur. The blSBtb of a living spirit ls felt throu.l. all his works.

Aa " I_mp"docles on Aetna" taupht, man la " horn Into Ufe" fore-ordalned to hla experiences by birth. Matthew Arnold's birth fathered him with a soul. Thomas Arnold waa the one man In the l.nK_jah Church In the carly part of our century who could he placed alongside of Newman In Itifluenre. From lils father he also inherited a nature which made him In religion qu.-tio.ilng as well aa devout. lly nature endowed with the most remarkable critical powers, he thus became pro-emlrie.itly the critic of r-llg lon. No such trenchant handling of tho tradlllonal formulas bas our d?y aeon as that displayed In " Litera? ture and Dogma," and " The God of the Bible." Such doubting as his ought to lead to new believing, if the history of man In tho past Is to Interpret eur j experience. Uut though he could criticise brilliantly he toni- not create aiieic. Ile cut down faith to Ita roots, hoping for a new growth. Spiritually, Matthew Arnold ?ought tlie same end af .eciirlng a vital faith by driving the growth of Nllftea burk and down upon ila eeeentl-i element, the moral life. Ills poetry aad prose alike are full of moral tonie, bracing us to live bravely. lie sympathized with the social stir of our day, fin-lug la lt a real hunger after a better order. -e-1-.
