Horace Greeley.

Mr.. Greeley was born at Amhest
New Hampshire, in FEBRUARY, 1911, and
is now in the Goth year of his age. His
father was poor farmer, who removed
to Vermont in 1921. 1t was at East
POultney, in that State, that he learned
the art of printing, and there he worked
for four years ut his trade.
He removed to Erie, Pennsylvania,
where he found employment for severed
months ut his trade. In August, 1881
he sought work in New York city, ar
irving there with only ten dollars in
his pocket. Having no friends or ac-
quaintanccs, and his dress being very
quently met with in later ycars-it
was with difficulty he obtained en-
ployment.
For over year he was engaged as a
journeyman printer, when in January,
1888, he becamea partner of Francis
Story, and began the publication of the
Morning Post, the first daily penny
paper ever issued. 1t lived, however,
but Il few weeks. In March, 1882 the
New Yorker, u weekly literary journal,
neutral in politics, was founded by
Greeley 4 Co. Mr.. Greeley wrote the
leading editorials. This journal lived
for seven years, during which time it
became quite an influential paper, but
was not profitable to the publishers.
In the year 1886 Mr.. Greeley married
a Miss Cheney, of North Carolina, and
he then returned to his trade rs Il jour
neyman printer.
About May, 1910, he began the
publication Of the Log Cabin; u week
ly which supported Gen. Harrison for
President. So great was the popular
ity of this paper during the celebrated
s'Hard Cider" campaign, that its circu-
lation numbered over 10000. 1t has
biOgrapher, that this paper 'g:lVe Gree
ley an immense reputation in I'LL parts
of the country rs an able writer and a
Jealous politician.'
In April, 1871, Mr.. Greeley establish
ed the Daily Tribune, price one cent, a
Journal that speedily became political
power in the land, and is still SO. MIR.
Greeley still writes for it, though he is
notthe managing editor, Mr.. Whitelaw
Reid holding that position. In 1871
Mr.. Greeley advocated the election of
Henry Clay to the Presidency. In
1913 he was elected member Of Congress
to fill a vacancy fora term which eX-
pired in March, 1S49. In 1881 he visit
Ell Europe. He supported in success
sive Presidential elections, Gen. Scott
in 1852, J. G.. Fremont in 1856, and
Abraham Lincoln in 1860, having eXer-
ted his influence against the nomina-
ton Of eX-Secretary Seward at the Chi
cago Convention of that year.
He was the first to proclaim ''uniVer
sal amnesty an d universal suffrage at
the end of the late war, and offered
himself as bail for Jefferson Davis in
May, 1867, for which he was much
censured by many of his Northern
friends, but greatly approved by those
who saw in it Il proof of lnagnanimity
and moral courage. Hirny,,~.

Democratic Parish Conventions are
reminded that the parish of Orleans is
not united in reference to the Reform
party. FIVE of the country send dele
gates accredited to both conventions,
and the Democratic delegates of New
Orleans are excluded from the Reform
Convention, we enter that Convention
ut a great disadvantages. Another tr0u-
bic is, that the Reforners base repro
sentation upon the Radical as well as
the Democratic vote of 1870, and thus
give Concorlia, Il Radical parish, four
votes, and Claiborne, Il Democratic
parish, only one more, that is, five
votes. Concordia pollcd, in 1870, only
81 Democratic votes and 1899 Radical
votes while Claiborne pollcd 1907 Dem
Ocratic votes and only :123 Radical votes.
Democrats should never sanction Rad
zeal representation in one of their con-
ventiOns- Reform cannot come from

Democratic Parish Convention.

We call attention to the notice
of s. ID. NIcEnery, Esq, President of
the Democratic Executive Committee
of this parish, naming next Saturday,
the 18th, as the day for holding Il con-
vention to select delegates to attend
the State Convention of the :,rd of June
next.
The last Convention held here, we
are informed, (not being present, y was
slimly attended, owing to the apathy
of the people. The campaign has now
partly opened, and voters must prepare
the foundation for eventual success
Primary meetings are of the greatest
Importance, for in their action is heard
the voice of the people.
We would urge the voting class to
attend this convention and go prepared
to assert their independence of all I'M
due influences, if any shall be used.
We see no reason, however, to apprc-
bend any dissensions. If the Demo-
Gratis of this parish are not Il unit in
sonal ends or animosities, then indeed
they are subjects for judicial interdic-
ton. We suggest to the Convention
the importance Of organizing clubs and
preparing otherwise for an earnest
prosecution of the canvass ut hand.
The Bill to Authorize PnrOchial Aid to
Railroads.
We are reliably informed that Gov.
Warmoth positively refuses to sign
Senator John Rays bill, passed ut the
late session OF the Legislature, to au
thorize the several parishes to issue
bonds in aid of the construction of
railroads. The Governors objections,
it is said, are based upon the prOvisO in
the bill which permits all voters in Il
given parish to vote on the question
of aid, without regard to property
qualification. If it he 4 fact that no
discrimination is made in the bill,
to protect the rights ofproperty, we I'M
hesitatingly endorse the Governors
action, but we never supposed that any
legislator would frame such Il bill,
or that the Louisiana Legislature, bad
as it is, would pass it. The rights of
property are no less sacred than
those of the individual. Bonds are
predicated on property, not upon indi-
Vidual franchises.
Mr.. Sam ID. Ferguson, formerly Of
the New Orleans commission firm of
Fellows, Ferguson Il HerVey, died at
his residence on Sicily Island, Catahou-
Ia parish, on the Bird. Mr.. f., many
years ago, was a printer, and seeking
work as such came to New Orleans
where he took Il case in the Picayune
Office. Subsequently he was employed
in a commission house where he soon
attained an cnViable rank and Il very
large salary. The commission house
OF which he became Il member, was
established after the war, but went into
liquidation last year. Since that event,
Mr.. Ferguson has no: been actively
employed. His urbanity, goodness of
heart and true manliness won for him
a host of devoted friends who will re-
ccive the sad tidings of his death with
genuine sorrow and regret. An insu-
rance policy of $4,000, in full force,
was left to his family.
