Ben Wade.

The climax ofindecency was reached in the
impeachment trial when Ben Wade, as the
roll was called to vote on the question of gull
ty or not guilty, "rose superior to all consider
atoms Of common decency and voted 'aye" Oh
the question to make himself President of the
United States. No wonder sensible radical
papers find consolation in the fact, that though
their darling scheme Of ousting Johnson from
Office has failed, the failure at least involves
the keeping of "sturdy old Ben" out of the
Presidential chair.
