Senator Norwood, of GeOrgia,

Hon. THOMAS MANSON NORWOOD,
the newly elected United States Senator
from Georgia, is s native of that State,
fortyone years of age, and practicing
member of the Savannah bar since 1852
He was member Of the House of Rep
resentatives in the Georgia Legislature
in 1S61.2; besides this, he never held
any office, either before or since the
war. His father was possessed of an
ample fortune, but believed it to be
proper for everybody TO learn some
trade. Accordingly, he had the subject
of this notice, who was his youngest
child, to learn the trade of shoe and
boot-maker, which he did; and he
made the boots with his own hands
which he wore when he went to college.
He is said to be an able speaker and de-
batter, and one of the best informed
men of his age in Georgia.

THE Grand Duke Alexis, third son OF
the Gar Of Russia, has at length arriv-
ed at New York, and has been received
with the greatest demonstrations. He
is simply a Lieutenant in the Russian
navy, but will be received with the
highest possible honors in this country.
He is thus described:
His Imperial Highness, the Grand
Duke Alexis AlexandrOvich, is young
man of pleasing features, with very
light hair and light complexion that
might be termed horid large. light
blue eyes magniicenly built figure ;
about six feet two inches high, with
broad, massive shoulders. While all
around him were dressed in uniforms
blazing with gold and silver embroid-
cry and decorations, he stood in the
simple uniform of Lieutenant OF the
Russian navy, without star or other
decoration. In manners, the Prince is
unassuming, affabe and winning. He
speaks English very well.
After his official reception at Wash
ington, he will give the ilunkeys full
opportunity to do him all the honor
they can and will then make a tour
through the United States.

EvANs.-The Erie Observer pithily
remarks: Probably the happiest man in
Pennsylvania over the late election and
Republican victory is Geo. o. Evans,
the fellow who made 50 nice a haul as
Gov. Geary's Especial AGENT To pull
the wool over the eyes of the people, he
was arrested just on tho eve of election,
and provided with comfortable quarters
in the prison of Dauphln county. Had
the State gone Democratic, he might
have remained there still, but the facts
having been fully ventilated in the
canvass, aud the Republicans been
victorious Notwithstanding, the powers
that be very naturally accept it as a
verdict that the people looked upon
Evans swindle as joke not worthy OF
serious consideration. He has according
ly been set free, and laughs heartily at
the gullibiity of those who supposed
the State authorities had the least idea
of furnishing him.

Some Of the kuavish politicians, gov
erned only by their keen scent of plum.
der, are proposing pretty much any
and everything to bring Presidential
success. They care not jot what it is
so that success results. Among these
propositions is one that the Democracy
shall make no nomination but support
candidate to be nominated by the dis.
satisfied Radicals. A modification of
this legerdemain is for the Democrats
to nominate some soured Radical. In
an able protest against either policy,
the Reading Gazette energetically says:
We for our part are most decidedly
and unqualifledly against any arrange
| ment of the kind, aud we believe this
to be the sentiment of ninety.nine hun.
dredths of the Democrats in this county.
The Democratic party has seen its worst
days in the conflict with the centraliz.
ing tendencies of Radicalism, and the
latter has seen its best days. The worst
that could befall the party now, would
be back set for few years more. Its
| ultimate triumph and restoration to
power Is but question of time, for

| nations at all, or to support any other
| candidates than men fully identified
| with the party as distinct political or
| ganization, would be suicidal indeed,
| it would not be tolerated by the body
of the party who adhere to it from prin-
ciple. We feel satisfied that no man
| who is not regularly nominated by u
| Democratic National Convention, and
who cannot show clear Democratic
record, will be supported for Presiden I
or Vice President by the Democracy OF
our county, come what may.
| The Gazette is most eminently icon.
servative," and we are therefore de-
| lighted to see such declarations from
that quarter--a quarter from which we
were rather led to apprehend mischief,
as conservatism is 50 often used as a
genteel synonym for skuking. The
law as here laid down by the organ of
the brave and stern Democracy of noble
old and undismayed Berks is the law
and the philosophy of the Democratic
party, and political gamblers may as
well make up their minds to abide by
it. The rank and file of the Democracy
will never consent to ratify cheat, and
therefore candidates who do not hold
firmly to their principles can never re
ceive their support or endorsement.
If there are towards amongst US let
them crawl to their holes and abide
there till the battle is ovcr-the true
men of the party are its great body,
who contend for the establishment of
correct principles without even caring
to count the gains and honors of Office
that are incident to success and who
scout plunder as a thing to be wiped
from the record by Democratic hands.

NOT A PARTY TRIUMPH.-TheN New
York Tribune says that sin New York
party organizations coalesced, and the
grand Reform victory was the joint tri-
umph of the honest Democrats and
honest Republicans against the thieves. "
In another article 1t says: at is a
great and inspiring triumph but it is
a triumph of People rather than Party.
We have no desire to claim for any po-
litical organization in this city the
fruits of a victory which has been the
result of the uprising of a great peo,
ple."
The New York Post and Sun, also
Republican, take the same view, en-
phatically declaring that the result is
in no sense a party victory. The Grant
organs, which have boasted so loudly
over New York, will hardly thank
thesej journals for telling so much truth,

OLD MEN FOR CoUNsEL.-The
Lynchburg Ne,cs says: The late war in
Europe has vindicated old age from the
imputations of imbecility and inefli-
clency which it has been the Young
America fashion of late to cast upon it.
Inc stalwart and victorious Emperor
OF Germany, the peerless General Won
Moltke, and many other leading Ger.
man officers, are all old men. Bismark,
the giant statesman, is by no means 8
youth. Disraeli and Gladstone of Eng.
land are no chickens. Thiers, at the
age of seventy.four, holds the helm OF
France. 1t would be better for this
country if it paid more respect to the
ncousels of age and experience.

DEATH OF REV. ALFRED CooKMAN

DEATH OF REV. ALFRED CooKMAN.
Many of our readers will be panied
to learn of tho death of this distinguish
ed minister, which took place on the
18th inst, after a brief illness, at New
ark, N. j. There are few M ethodists in
this State who knew him but paid him
that reverence which is due TO one so
gifted as ALFRED CooKMAN. He was
not only one Of the most eloquent and
favorite preachers of his denomination,
but has always exerted great power in
his ministry by virtue of his eminently
earnest, consistent, personal piety,
which, Joined to natural manners, ap-
pearance and address of peculiar win
ming character, made him, if not one of
the very greatest certainly one of the
very best of the divines of the present
day in his church.

should he not have faith?
In 1899, as will be remembered by
many of our readers, the Democracy
carried nearly every State in the Union
even carrying Massachusetts for Gov.
ernor by one vote-and literally wiping
the Wing party out of existence. Dis
mayed, the Wings went to work with
more energy than ever-hooded the land
and crammed every household with
speeches and documents, teeming with
true and false statements, worked the
people up to state of excitement and
bewilderment never known before,
guzzled every body with hard cider and
harder whiskey, worshipped coons,
sung songs, and crazed half the nation,
moro or less-and the next year carried
Congress and the President by over
whelming majoritos! The surprised

capable of making, carried the Presi.
