TO THE MAIL READERS.

The practice oI bestowing Christmas gift* ba* steadily grown with the years until not only the children are made happy by receiving them, but nearly every person expect* them aud i« generally remembered by aorne token of 'esteem from those who ar« near and dear to the recipient.

The issue of *'tbe Christmas number" by newspapers, periodicals and magazines no doubt originated with tbis idea. It is a pretty custom, and one which has always been followed by The Saturday Evening Mall, endeavoring to give to Its patrons an edition so worthy as to be considered by them a welcome gift. Encouraged by the avidity with which the exceptional Christmas editions of this paper have been sought for for In the past, It has been determined to still further repay that appreciative spirit on the part of its patrons by the issuance on tno Saturday before Christmas of a still more attractive, unique and artistic number.

In its general character it will be the best that money, careful judgment and the most earnest endeavors can make it: artistically,, too. there is no doubt that it will meet the approbation of the most critical. In fact, it will be such a souvenir as all will detdre to possess. And that they may, we suggest that orders be sent In early in order that a supply may be printed sufllelont to meet tho demand. And right here, let us suggest to advertiser* that an unusually large edition will be printed, which, togethor with its attractiveness, will render it an exceptionally valuable advertising medium. It Is the intention of the pub Usher to surprise and please you, and he has every oonlldence that he will.

BLAINE AND HARRISON. Now that the time ami place of hold ing the national Republican convention has been determined, the politicians are assiduously devoting their attention to the question of candidates on lhat ticket Thus far there is only one avowed cantlldute—Henjamin Harrison. Past experlencn has caused presidential asplr suits to beware of the early boom, which promises much, but generally dies In its youth. Probably this has something to do with Mr. Maine's determination to "Miy nothing ami saw wood" when any person says presidency to lilm. lint within a week the Maine statesman has gone to the trouble to inform the public that at the age of sixty one he is in good health, and that his physical condition m!x months hence will be better than It is now. He wont to Philadelphia a few days ago, submitted to a thorough examination by his physician, who pro. not)need his case as stated above. This mav be taken as an intimation that Mr. Maine is in the hands of his friends, or it may nly be thrown out as a warning to prospective candidate* to keep off the track. The first opposition to the secretary of state as a presidential candidate manifested itself this week, when exSenator l*almer declared against him and In favor of Harrison. The ex-sena-tor has soiur- presidential idea* which are peculiarly original. He thinks Mr. Maine has had all th glory which can •be carried conveniently by one man, and that he -Mould not seek the presidency. Mr. Palmer mav be honest in his opinion, but he is none tho less unreasonable. The ide* that any American would decline the presidency is, preposterous, and no one knows this better than the mass who advances it. lint there Is nothing to show that Mr. Maine a candidate. Iteyond a doubt he Is the choice of nine tenths of the Republicans U-dav» and if he would consent to the use of his nauie all other candidates might just as well retire. There is no doubt that he was the choice of the convention l» ISfW, and would hare been nominated with a hurrah had he allowed the use of his name. Harrison was taken as a compromise candidate, received the hearty support of Blaine and hi* friends and was triumphantly electedL The largest part of bis administration has been Blaine, whi, when McKlnUylsm threatened to become unpopular, came to the front with recioroclly. The larjgvwt and moet popular portion of the Harrison administration te day is Blaine and no
