Caleb Gushing. one OF the greatest
lawyers and shrewdest politicians in
the United States, died at his home
at Newburyport, Mass, last Thursday
evening. He was born January II,
1900 and was consequently almost 70
years old at the time OF bis death.
He entered politics early, having
been elected to the Legislature OF
Massachusetts, at the age OF twenty
FIVE, and from his first entrance In
politics to the day OF his death he
was almost constantly holding some
position given him by the people OF
the government. No man in this or
any other country ever mingled SO
much in politics and at the same time
held 80 high q position at the bar.
He also found time to do a good deal
OF fine literary work; but from his
entrance into public life to the time
OF bis death he worked to advance
the interests OF Caleb b. Cushing.
and will never be esteemed as a man
of his great and versatile talent
might have been had he worked for
the interest Of the people. He died
wealthy.

Editor Republican,
For quite a number Of years have
been trying to read everything Of ed

hands, not excepting the reports OF
proceedings Of teachers Institutes, as
found In the public press.
Having read these reports from all
parts OF the county quite diligently,
/ could not fall to come to the one
conclusion, that they could by some
fortunate possibility be made q trifie
moro interesting and profitable; or
could be well omitted altogether, az
they Invariably fail to impart any in
formation. except the meeting Of the
institute, officers elected. teachers

The Indiana Legislature meets to
day. The election OF United States
Senator will take place Jan. 2lst. or
the two houses will ballot on that day,
though 1t is not probable that any
one will receive q majority OF votes.
Neither party has q majority, but the
friends Of Mr.. Voorhees, claim to have
already secured the votes Of two Ct
the National Greenback members,
the number required to elect him IL
all the members OF hts own party
stand by him. We have never had
any doubt but that Voorhees, would
be elected. 1t will be q bitter pill for
the honest money Democrats, and the
election OF such demagogues will
eventually demorallze the party.
There is however. perhaps. no man in
the State whom the Democrats could
elect that could do less harm to the
Republican party than Voorhees, and
while We feel ashamed OF having In.
diana represented in the United
States Senate by such a man, 1t will
hunt the Democratic party more than
any other.
