we are somewhat surprised at the nomination,
by the Cincinnati convention, of MIR. Buchanan
for the presidency. inasmueh as we had expect
ed that the choice would have been fallen upon
some individual more thoroughly identified with
what has been termed democratic policy. Ii
there be any truth in political history, Mr.. Buch-
anan may be quoted on both sides Of every po-
lltical question of any Importance that has ever
presented itself. Commencing his political ca
reer as an ardent federallst, he continued to ad-
vocate the doctrines of that party until the sec
ond term Of general Jackson, when he gave in
bis adhesion, and became member OF the Jack
son party, as did many other prominent fed
eralists. .-.. .-- ...-.s .e,izs .
We are the more surprised to find in the nom:
inee of the southern democracy, at the present
! iuncture, the same individual, who, in 131 5, re-
presented Lancaster county, in Pennylvania as
a federast who served in congress from 1896
until 1928, as federalist, who in the same yeal
headed circular recommending Mr.. Gregg as
a federal member of the Pennsylvania legisla
ture, and in 1929 supported Gregg, the fedora
nominee for governor, against Shultz, the dem
ocratic nominee-who voted for every tariff thai
has ever been passed, including the 'black tar
iff' as it is called, of 1928, in opposition to the
Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, &c, who played
a part in the 'bargain and sale'' affair,-and
of whom it is said in 'Hagues Horoscope" 0

try into the room he introduced the subject 0

Letcher asked, "How could he have one NOR

were both Madison and Gallatin? Where woule
he be able to find equally eminent men?'' Mr.
Buchanan replied that he "would not go out o
