universal inquiry and interest. We give such

DRY.
WALTER FoRwARD Secretary Of The Treasury
MIR. Forward is citizen of Pittsburgh Pcnnsyi
vana. Our first knowledge of him De-
mocrauc Member of Congress from his DISTRICT
in 1924, and an ardent champion Of the American
HySten. lie united in the caucus nomination of
Mr.. Crawford for Presden', but aitcrward recant-
cd, when The Jackson whirlwind swept over Penn
syivanin, aud went with the current. He aban-
doned Gen. jackson when it became evident that
lie was Identified with tile enemies of the Proec-
ton of Home Industry. He has since been
mainly out of public life, but known as Il Nation
al Republican,, or Clay Wing, in contradisnclion
iroih TIE Ahtlmasons, who hear sway in his sec
ton In 1886 he chosen member of the
Constitutional Convention of Pennsylvania, and
distinguished himself in the deliberations Of that
body, of which we think he was President. But
ile has not for many years been active in politics
till last SEASON. when he took The stamp for liar
rSou and Tyler in Western Pennsylvania with
great efficiency. His high personal character and
reputation Tor independence gave him great
weight. When GeH. Harrison became President,
he made Mr.. +. Marshal for Western Penusy-
vaIla, winch nc declined, then frst Comptroller
OF the Treasury, which he accepted, aud has
SINCE discharged The duties OF that office. lie is
well qualified for the station to which he has been
called.
JOHN MCLEAN, secretary Of var. hlr Mclean
came INTO Congress- II we mistake not, III 1910, ms
Democratic Representative OF the Warren DIS
trlc', ONO lie There distinguished himself by in
duslry and efficiency, and in 1923, appoint
Ell Postmaster General by President Monroe. Mr.
Adams was naugaraed President, and requested
Mr.. Mclean TO retain his Department, which he
did throughout, though avowing himself sup
porter OF Gen. Jackson for the Presidency. But
inns made no difference, since he ana Mr.. Adams
were united in the principle that no Postmaster
should be appointed or removed OIL account OF hIs
politics But when Gen. Jackson was Inaugural
TED, different rule OF action was resolved or.
Mr.. mclean frankly signlhed to The President
that he could not be made the instrument OF pro-
scripton, being committed against it by his pub
NC career and ayerse to 1t III principle and feeling.
