Deatb or Uon Edvar,I Wa,e

A brief notice under our obituary head
in yesterday mornings issue announced
the death of Hon. Edward Wade, at his
home in East Cleveland, on Monday-an
event not unlocked for but which will be
none the less painfully received by the
very extended circle to which he was
known. Mr.. Wade was born Nov. 22d,
1902, in West Springfield, Mass, and was
consequently in the siXty-fourth year of
his age. He come to Ohio in 1925 or
1926, and studied law at Garfield, Ma
honing county, practicing, after his ad-
mission TO the bar, in several of the
counties of the Western Reserve. Taking
up his residence in this city, he continued
the practice of his profession, being a
partner in several of the first law firms of
this section Of the State, and having a
leading practice. Mr.. Wade was in his
day one of the first lawyer in the State,
and as an advocste mad few equals. He
was a man possessed of the finer feelings
of our nature-was friend of the poor
especially was he a friend of the down
trodden slave. Many of our readers will
remember his argumentstive and eloquent
speeches against slavery years ago, when
anti-slsvery men were few and far be-
tween, and when it was considered dis
grace to be called an " Abolitionist." Mr..
Wade took an active part in organizing
the old Liberty Party in 1912, and after
wards was prominent leader Of the Free
Soil Party which was organized in ls4s
In 1852 he was elected to Congress
from this District as a Free Soiler,
having two competitors, Hon. H. v.
Wilson and the late William Case, and
held that position four successive terms,
serving in all eight years.
Mr.. Wade was twice married, his first
wife, who died some fourteen years since,
being daughter of Judge Q. F. Atkins
His widow was Miss Mary P. Hall, to
whom he was married some eight or nine
years ago. Mr.. Wade had no children of
his own. He had, however, adopted a
son and daughter, the latter of whom is
still living, the son having died in the
army. The deceased was brother of
Senator Wade and uncle of James Wade,
Jr., of this city.
His funeral viii take place this after
noon, from his late residence in East
| Cleveland.

The PhIIndeIphIn Conrention.

Up to midnight (the hour at which we
write the dispatches are meagre as to the
doings of the Copperiohnson Convention
at Philadel phia. We have sufficient, how
ever, to confirm our conclusion, before
stated, that the whole band of reb-
els and copperhesds, both from the
North and the South, are TO enjoy
the full favors of the Convention, and it
would appear that especial consideration
and favoritism is to be extended to them.
The Convention was quite properly
called to order by Randall, Andrew john
sons Postmaster General, who being, of
course, "cocked and primed' for the oc-
casion, announced that "the delegates
from South Carolina and Massachusetts
would now enter the Convention arm
in arm" Here was a grand coup
Getat and the Convention respon-
ded with burst of applause that
must have shaken the walls of the wigwsm
to their foundations. But loyal men of
the nation, think of this exhibition! and
you martyrs of Massachusetts, whose
blood crimsoned the streets of Baltimore
in 1861, a sacred sacrifice TO the treason
of South Carolina, what would be your re-
sponse TO these renegades for whom you
gave up your lives? Following this in
suit to the memories of the dead soldiers
of the nation, the Convention proceeded
to a temporary organization by electing
General Dix temporary President, whose
address upon assuming the Chair is at
this writing coming over the wires. Our
dispatches this morning will be found
very complete, and We leave them TO the
discussion of our readers, without further
comment from US at present.

Death of John Parsons, Esq.

1t Is with the deepest regret lhat we arC
called upon to announce the death of that
estimable gentleman, John Parsons, Esq ,
which took place at Detroit on the 18th
inst, at the residence of his son-in-law,
E. W. Gleason, Esq. His age was 20
years Mr.. Parsons, ever since the death
of his Tife about a year ago, had been in
failing health, and latterly had been con-
fined TO his room for some several months.
1t would appear that he died simply of
old age as he apparently suffered from no
particular disease.
Mr.. Parsons was born in Southampton,
England, where he resided up to the time
be emigrated to this country. He carried
on there the brewery business on a large
scale, and at the time of the Railway
mania, when George Hudson reigned
supreme, was President of two railway
companies, one of which was the South
ampten & Manchester railway. Owing
tospeculations he became engaged in he
was so unfortunate as to lose the greater
part of his rather ample fortune, which
loss he bore very philosophically. For
many years Mr.. Parsons was member
of the Town Council of Southampton, and
for several years filed the office of High
Bailitf of that place. He held an ex-
ceedingly high position in the estimation
of the people of Southampton on
account of his many amiable traits
of character, his ineorruptible integ
rity, and the interest he mani
Tested in the general welfare of the
community. So greatly was Mr.. Parsons
thought of by his old townsmen, that, after
he had left for America, special meet |
ing of the Town Council, with the Mayor |
IN the chair was held, and resolutions ex-
pressive of regrets at the departure of Mr..
P, and testifying to his character as a
gentleman of the highest degree of honor,
&c, were passed and ordered to be en-
yrssed on vellum and forwarded to him.
Mr.. Parsons emigrated to this country in
ls49, and resided in this city ever since.
He endeared himself to his new Ameri-
,an friends, by his kindly manner and
inc conversational powers, and it is not
'ften that one is taken away whose loss is
10 sincerely regretted by his acqaintances.
He left ten children, nearly all of whom
