Ew 1t is useless to attempt to elect any
man to prominent office who has "sympa-
thized" with John Brown, or endorsed the
Helper treason. John Sherman did both,
and he lost the office of Speaker. Seth
Padelford did both, and the Republican par
ty have lost Rhode Island. w. H. Seward

to be seen whether the Chicago Convention
will risk their chances of the Custom Houses
