well that he was again selected in 1859.

While here we will take look at the
hsrd-money Democratic candidate,
ALLEN G. THURMAN.
One bright November morning, sixty
three years ago, an old chaise rumbled
! along the streets of Lynchburg, Virginia.
| 1t was on the thirteenth day OF Novem-
Der, 1913. The chaise stopped before
sumptuous dwelling on quiet street.
| The old doctor got out, and as he as.
| cended the front steps he noticed that
| the silver plate, which proclaimed to the
world that the family of Thurman dwelt
therein, needed cleaning. In few hours
he emerged, quietly remarking to pass
ing acquaintance that it was "a boy,"
and then he drove away. Then aud
there did Allen @. Thurman enter this
vale of tears and nation of politicians
Al received an academic course of in
struction, having removed to Ohio in
| 1919. The possession of q beard found
him awakening the echoes Of the couIt-
room at Columbus, and he addressed
juries, bluffed witnesses, and wheedled
the court until the twenty. ninth con-
gress assembled, and Allen G. was on the
floor. In 1851 the voters of Ohio invest
ed him with authority to occupy WOOL |
sack on the supreme bench. From 1854
to 1856 he was chief justice of that court.
Then Thurman took a rest until 1887, in
which year an ungrateful public declined
to elect him governor. He was, how
ever, by a strong effort, elected to the |
senate that winter, to the intense sur
prize of everybody, and took his seat in |
1869. He wGs reelected TO the senate in |
1874, where he will remain until 1881, |
unless death does from his Office separ- |
ate him. Thurman is a veritable men,

was Democrat, and always will be a |

And now for
GEORGE b. PENDLBT0N.
That Mr.. Pendleton is the available |
candidate for the Presidency in the |
event of the rival factious of the Democ-
racy-i. e., haTds and becoming
hopelessly estrsp ged, is an acknowledged
fact In all well-regulRted political fami-
lies. Mr.. Pendleton was bcrn on the
twenty fifth of July, 1926, at Cincinnati.
The sffluence Of his parents secured for
him q liberal education, and he early
embraced the profession Of the law. He
was sent to the State senate during the
years 1854 and 1856. Soon after he repre-
sented the Cincinnati district in the
thirty fifth congress, and was re elected
to the thlrty-sixth, tbirty-seventh and
thirty eighth congresses. 10 1864 he
was candidate for the Vice-P Presiden-
cy, with George b. Mcclellan. Our re-
collection is that he was defeated. In
1868 Cincinnati went to New York with
Pendleton as an aepirant for the PrCsI-
Dental nomination. Cincinnati came
home with Horatio Seymour. Since
that time Gentleman Georgen has kept
aloof from the political prize-riDg, but is
now making sll preparations to shy bis
castor into the circle. The Enquirer
will second him. Mr.. Pendleton nas
palatial residence in the Cincinnati
suburb of Clifton, where he lives in
Irincely style. Mr.. Pendleton is eating
oranges and making speeches in the
south just now.
Let US now step over the State line,
and hear something about
o. P. MORTON.
Oliver P.
Morton, he
Was born in 1873,
in the county of Wayne, State of IN
diana, on the fourth OF August. The
heat was intense, and his legs were sun
struck, and be now walks with q parish
canes. Oliver, upon reaching the proper
age, was handed over to the faculty Of
Miami university, who graduated him.
The bandsged-eyed goddess Iured him
to the domain of red tape. In brief, he
pursued the pursuit Of the law, aud ere
long stood before Hoosier juries, and
asked to te heard for his cause. In time
he was elected circuit judge Of the fifth
judicial district, wearing the ermine
with due solemnity until called to the
seat of acknowledgements in the year
1850. In 1851, when the war begun, he
assumed the gubernatOrial chair, by rea-
son of Governor Lanes resignation.
Being one of the first down to the depot
to see the boys off, besides being pr0mi-
nent in other ways ia connection with
the suppression of the rebellion, he &C.
quired the So6riQuet OF the "w8r COVER
ner." He ives elected to second and
third term, filling the executive chair in
all five years. He was elected to the
United States senate, to succeed Henry
S Lane, and took his ssat March 4, 1867.
Iu 1872 he was reelected, and his term
expires March 8, 1879. During the war
Morton was q Union Republican, and
since an orthodox Republican. He is an
able man. He has many enemies OF
high position, whose aversion amounts
to bitter hatred. He is a strong man
among the people of Indiana. The peo-
pie in this State who do not talk Nor
ton, do ssy considerable about
THOMAS A. HENDRICKS.
Should neglect to mention this gen.
tleman, in this connection, L very much
fear me that there would be Hoosier
scslp-dasce at the corner OF Washing
ton street and Fifth avenue, Chicago, at
an early date. "Indiana's favored son."
is Buckeye by birth, having taken his
first Tactical sustenance in Muskipgum
county, Ohio, the date of the operation
being September z, 1919. Hendricks is
q virgins veTgipg on sixty. Like
Observation-Disclosures of the prominent
politicians of the United States, he is
lawyer, having adopted the pursuit
when quite young. He entered Indiana
in 1874, and in l84S held desk on the
floor of the Indiana house OF representa-
tives. Next we find him in the State
constitutional convention of 1850. The
following year he wss sent to CONGRESS
and retained there for two terms. Upon
his retirement the important position
OF commissioner OF the general land Of
flee was rendered him. He accepted,
and remained there situated until 1859.
His next preferment was his election
to the fenste, he taking the seat in
March, 1868, and retirin 2 in 1867. Thom-
as A. rose up again in 1874, aud sailed
into the executive mansion OF Indiana
before Democratic gale that blew four
teen thousand majority. Hendricks is
q thor Jugh politician. He can ride any !
number o. horses; can be as dumb as an
oyster, or as talkative as q msgpie,
when occasion offers. His reputation ss
an equilibrist, when standing upon the
ragged edge of the, fence between issues
is established, and Thomas A. is a good
listere-. He will take the Indiana De.
mocrscy to the national convention
