nal says, speaking of the recent TRADE of Senator
Tombs against the Republican party, il is graf
flying evidence OF truth and justice of Republican
principles that their opponents dare not assal
them. The columns OF the Democratic press, the
speeches OF Democratic orators, will be searched
in vain for anything like argument against the
doctrines of the Republican party. Instead OF
logic They arc compelled Ia resort To yitupera

a Deserved Gem IEEaaent TO u
worthy officer.

Mr.. Andtey Sexton, who has served for
a year as city Treasurer, has received from
the Finance Committee Of the Common
Council the following gratifying testimo-
NAL 10 his qualities aud conduct:
Your Committee take pleasure in
bearing testimony to the ability and in
tegrily which have marked Mr.. ScXton'o
administration of the City finances. lis
books and accounts have been kept in a
very neat and systematic manner, and
leave nothing to be explained but the good
fortune Of the City III availing itself Of 50
worthy an officer
Mr. Sexton may wei he proud Of the
above, and it must be known to every CT
izen Who has done business with him that
his efforts to deserve it lave been eviden
cel in a model attention 10 business, and
an exemplary disposition to accommodate
the humbIest alike with the most intiuen-
tial. lie has performed the duties Of an
industrious printer III this city for several
years, ard the manner il which he has ae-
Quilted himself IN this first Office ever ill
ed by him is honorable to himself aud
ereditahle to the Democracy that elected
Hudson Patriot.
The above handsome compliment to
an old friend of ours, we cheerfulIy copy.
Many a weary hour have we worked be-
side each other sticking type, and no
more faithful friend or honest man have
we ever met with. We rejoice that Mr..
SEXTON has proved 50 worthy of the good
will of the people Of Madison, and hope
yet to hear of his name in prouder posi-
ton than that Of City Treasurer.

THE RUSH FROM IRLLA>D.-1he emf
grafton from Ireland to this country this
year is likely to he as extensive as that
which followed The famine Of 1913. Il is
said tina: at least 10000 persons have
started or are preparing 10 start from the
single county of Mayo. In the first three
weeks of May 1900 emigrants, chiefly
Irish, landed in New York. Parliament
airy returns show that the total population
Of Ireland in 1859 was 5,9SS, $50, or
nearly 100000 less than it was in 1921,
aud two MILL ms less than it WAS in 1911
Such rapid depopulation, coupled with
emigration TO this country, seems 10 justi-
fy the remark lately made by the London
Times, that eff the exodus from Ireland
continues, she will soon become English
and the United States Irish"

SrRADDLING THE FEHCE.-There is an
obscure print published in this State,
claiming to be Democratic, which has put
up both the Douglas and Breckenridge
ticket, when there are not three persons
in the village where the paper is publish
ed, supporting the latter, and probably
not twenty five in tie county. The sheet
would appear far better if it would put up
likewise the names of Lincoln, Bell and
Houston.

! the party who has sustained him by their
bounty. lie evidently seems to think that
the people of the county will show he
same degree of supIeness in following lliui,
as be has displayed in obeying the dicta-
lions of those who assume to speak for the
National Administration.
We have not been at all surprised at
the detection Of the editor of the Herald,
for he has never supported the straight
Democratic ticket since we came to MANS
towoc. Last Fall he opposed the Demo
cratic Assembly candidate in this District,
and at the spring election he voted and
worked against the Democratic candidate
for Chairman of the Town and claimed to
have elected through his influence the Re-
publican candidate for Trustee Supervisor
Of the Third ward of this village; and for
the past six months lie and his friends
have been fraternizing with iheRepubicans
of the County in all local matters.
Mr.. FlTCH says that neither of the can
didates vas fairly nominated at the Bati-
more Convention. These are the facts
let the Democrats Judge whether lie tells
the truth, or is only making a shall low
pretence to excuse his treason Tie Con-
vention met at Baltimore on the 1Sh of
June With full delegation from each
State, there would have been six huudred
and SIX members, casting three hundred
and three votes. By the rule of the Con-
yention, and the usages Of the party, two
thirds Of all the votes were necessary 10

Withdrew from the Contention, because
tie majority would not adopt and support

manned in the Convention four hundred
and twenty five Delegates, casting two

On the first ballot, Mr.. DOUGLAS obtained
one hundred and seventy-three votes on

Death of G. =. Il. James.

Recently we saw in foreign paper a
statement that Mr. James, the novelist,
had had AL attack Of paralysis in Italy,
and was likely 10 die. The last steamer
brings news of his death, though the dis
patch does not mention where or " hen it
occurred.
George PAYNE Rainsford James was
born in London in 1901 was educated At
Greenwich under French schoolmaster,
and when Is years old, was sent TO
France, where he spent several years. lie
began to write prose and verse while yet
boy, and Washington Irving, having
seen some of his efforts, persuaded hun to
try something more important, and he
wrote a life of Edward the Black Prince,
which he published in 1922. His first
move, Richelieu," WAS written in 1928,
but not published till 1899. After that
came g Darnley, De L'Orme, Philip Au
gustus,' and long string of other novels,
amounting to nearly eighty in number,
and equal to about two hundred avera-
ging dnodecimo volumes. His last pub
lished romance, The Cavalier appeared
last year.
Mr. James came to reside in the Uni
ted States ten or twelve years ago. living
at Stockbridge, Mass. In 1852 be was
appointed British Consul at Norfolk, but
in 1858 left there to accept the British
Consulate at Venice, where he has since
resided. Mr.. James was once one Of the
most popular Of British novelists. His
romances were modelled after those of
Walter Scott, and many Of them were ad
mirable of Their kind. But lie wrote too
much and too rapidly, and the reading
public weariel Of the sameness Of style
and structure percepiaJle in all his stories.
Bulwer, Dickens aud Ihackeray have
long eclipsed him. In addition to his nov
els, Mr.. James has written some mediocre
poetry, and several minor historical works,
none Of which ever made much sensation.
lie was an amiabe, worthy gentleman,
and lad many friends in this country as
well as III Europe, -PhH0delphia Dulle,
tin.
We have often had the pleasure OF
meeting Mr.. JAMES at Menasha, where he
owned considerable property. lie was a
fine, sociable gentleman, and possessed
more democratic style OF manners than is
generally found in English nobIcmen.

TIE DoUGLAs MEETING The great
demonstration for Douglas Monday even
inc, we apprehend was all that the most
earnest friends of that distinguished gen
tleman could fondly desire. Tie night
was one of the sultries Of the season. The
time of meeting was chosen at a period Of
the day when most of our people are anX
ious rather to separate than to congreqate
and but comparatively little effort ont of
he usual course had been made in Vance
SO We are informed, to bring numbers to
gether; but, it is the unanimous testimony
of the reporters, that the meeting was al
together the most numerous and entAusi-
astic, at the same time orderly and re-
spectacle that has been gathered within
and without Tammany Hall for a long
while. There was an earnestness about
the speakers and their auditory which is
not often seen there. There were think
ing men in the crowd, as well as men who
came to "hurrah r'-and it is but justice
70 say that the orators, as if with keen
perception Of that circumstance, addressed
themselves TO the minds, rather than the
passions and feelings of the Multitude
As for the rest, the very full report of the
proceedings we print must speak for Itself.
