The recent Democratic Conven-
ton was the tenth national conven-
ton Of the Democratic party. The
five Presidents before 1924 were
nominated by congressional caucuses
at Washington. In that year, the
caucus nominee, William Fl. Craw-
ford, had to contend with three indie
pendent candidates, Adams, Jackson
and Clay, who succeeded in carrying
the election into the House, where
Mr.. Adams was elected. In 1928,
Adams and Jackson were nominated
by conventions of their respective
parties in the several States, and
Jackson was successful. The first
national convention was held in
1882. at which Andrew Jackson was
re-nominated by acclamation. OF
the eight subsequent Democratic
conventions, the candidates Of only
four were elected, viz: Van Buren, in
1886, Polk in 1874, Pierce in 1852
and Buchanan in 1856.

The Statistical Report for Great
Britain shows the remarkable fact
that England has four times as many
panpers, or persons receiving public
relief, as Ireland. The number in
the former during the last year, end
ing January l, 1868, was over a
million, Tin rouud numbers1 that
in Ireland for the same time was
$4,000. The population of England
is about %, 900, 900; that of Ireland
less than 100000. The Irish peo.
pie, just now, are not, SO very badly
of. They have general employment
and fair wages. But they have re-
ceived an impulse of emigration
which makes them discontented with
Ireland as it is, and will keep them
so for good while.

Never has the prospect for Farmers in the
Northwest looked so fiattering as this season.
The era of low prices has probably forever
passed here, as the facilities for Transports

tween powerful rival lines. The spring was
unequalled in its advantages for early seed
ing. the ground was in excellent order. the
weather since has been most favorable, the
broaG fields are covered thickly with the
healthy and strong growing grain, and those
most experienced regard an extraordinarily
large crop as almost fully certain.
The question now of most importance TO
the farmer, and indeed TO us all, is. how can
this great crop be secured most safely and

THE OLDEST LIVING FREEMAsoN

A few weeks ago, we briefly stated that
Mr.. DAVID SALES, now. stopping with his
granddaughters in this city, had reached the
remarkable age Of l02 years. s#
yesterday enjoyed very pleasant visit
with Mr.. STILES, and a few facts in regard to
him will, not fail 10 be interesting to our
readers.
1t gives one sense of awe to sit and con-
verse With one who bears the weight of a
hundred and more years, who twice voted for
Gen. Washington for the Presidency. who
speaks knowingly of the fashions before the
ReroEation. Il is History vivifed. No one
would suspect Mr.. STILES extreme age from
his conversation or appearance. He has now
more vigor than most men of seventy. and
seems likely to iivemany yearsyet. His step
is reasonably firm, his mind clear, his memo
~ tenacious, his disposition cheerful and So
cial, his voice unbroken, and his conversation
enlivened with touches of sentiment and wit.
Mr.. STILES was born in Woodbury.. Litch-
field Co., Conn, May 81, I766, and is there
fore little over I02 years old. His first wife
was MARTHA Ransom. daughter of EBENEZER
RANSOM. of Vergennes. VT. whom he married
in 1898. and by whom he had three children.
His second wife. ELIZABETH CUMMINGS, who
lived near Plattsburg, N. Y. he married in
1899, and she died at Hazel Green, in this
State, in lS47. having borne him ten children.
Mr.. STILES followed, or rather led the adj
vance of civilization Westward to the Mixsiss-
ippi, having located at Hazel Green. in Grant
Co., Wis.,, in 1889.
His Masonic history is alike interesting,
and honorable to him. He has been Mason
III years, and is no doubt the oldest Mason on
this continent He was made Mason at To-
ronto, Canada West, December %, 1897,
when VIM Jeryis was Grand Master of Cana
da. The Lodge at Toronto was No. l6 of
that jurisdiction. He has assisted in form
ing very many Lodges and is now menu
her of Hazel Green Lodge, No. 43, of this
State. He is not, like too many, Mason
merely in name-a rough asher, but he has
been a devoted student of its teachings and
faithful follower of its precepts, his memory
holds intact its lectures, and he is truly a
polished stone fit for the Masters use.
With his naturally genial and cheerful dis
position, sweetened by piety and strength
ened by faith, with the companions of youth
and the friends of middle age all gone before
him. he stands on the far eutreaehing point
of Time, waiting for the Masters beck TO
cross the narrow space which keeps him
from the "Other Side" Nay the call be
gentle when ii comes, and the answer ready
aud willing.

JAMES BucHAEAS.-We clip the 70

JAMES BUCHAEAS.-We clip the fol-
towing from the Milwaukee .SeRtinal:-
The time has not come when a fair
ard dispassioDate estimate of James Bu-
chanan's public character can be arrived
at. He was uDquestionably a man of
fine abilities, and as diplonatist be was
particularly accomplished, his dispatches
while at the head of tae State Depart
ment and Minister to St. James being
regarded as models of diplomatic writ
ing. 1t would have been a fortunate
thing for his fame it he had never been
elevated to the Chief Magistracy of the
nation. His failure to check the Iebell-
ion in its incipient stages brought upon
him the indignation of the loyal people
of the country, and it will be long time
certainly before it will be forgiven. 1t
would be charitable and perhaps just to
believe that he really desired thar the
Union should be preserved, aud that his
grevious sins of omission, aud perhaps of
commission, were brought about by a
sincere conviction that the Federal Gov
eminent had no authority to coerce a
state. 1t was in part his fault and in
part his misfortune that be was surroun-
ded by the most infamous and damnable
traitors that ever plotted against the life
of nation, and it is possible that a gen.
erous posterity will season justice with
mercy, and write over his remains,
