JNDJtNqS L4TE GOVERNOR


The late Governor Williams, of Indiana, be-
longed to a class of public men that used to
be somewhat numerous but has steadily d.
minished with the spread of intelligence-men
who seek to attract attention and votes by
SOME singularity of dress. Of late years Gov
ernor Williams was perhaps the most con-
spicuous example of this class. He was a
man of mediocre intellectual ability,
and it may fairly be said that he
owed his election to Congress and
his SUBSEQUENT election to the Governor
shin of Indiana to his habit of wearing
clothing made of "blue jeans" a coarse fabric
of mixed wOollen and cotton stuff, much worn
on account of its strength and cheapness by
the poorer class of country people in the
West and South. There was nothing ill bis
circumstances which induced him to adhere to
this servceable and inexpensive sort of attire.
He was a wealthy farmer, owning 1000 acres
of fertile land and reputed to be worth the
snug sam of 100000. He might have ar
rayed himself in the best brOadclOth and
CASHMERE. but he was ambitious OF political
bonors. and his "blue jeans" suit was worn to
identify him with the class of poor farmers.
70 which he did not in fact belong, and to
Gain their support He rose into prominence
during a period of industrial distress and
business prostration. He shrewdly calcu-
lated that in such time his homespun
clothes would be accepted as represent
ing simple habits and a desire for econ
omy in public and private expenditures.
He was right. Without any real quail
fcations for office, he was able, in the meme
able campaign of 1876, to beat one of the
most eminent men in Indiana. scholar. lawyer
and orator, who bore historic name of which
the people of Indiana are especially proud.
This he accomplished simply by travelling
over the State and exhibiting himself in his
blue jeans to the voters.
Williams was peculiar product of hard
times and Western Democracy. We shall
probably never see his like again. His friends
used to compare him to Abraham Lincoln.
and in face and figure he did look
hike the rail-splitter President, but the resem-
blance went no further. OF the humor which
made Lincoln's homely face 80 attractive he
had not trace, nor had he Lincoln's unfail-
ing kindness of manner, or his political
sacaclty. or his high patriotic enthusiasm.
WilIiamss temperament was selfish and rather
saturninc. He had no gifts as an orator OF q
writer and no ideas concerning government
save that cheese paring economy should be
nractised In all its departments. When in
Congress he chiefly interested himself in the
expenses for soap and towels.
Some good lessons might be drawn from his
nrivate life, for he worked his way up to
competence from the position of poor farmer
on a quarter section of forest land. and no
doubt practised the virtues Of industry, pa
thence and self-denial but so far as his public
career ia concerned there is nothing in it to
admire. He said nothing remarkable and did
nothing remarkable, and nothing but his blue

PRESIDENTS is SEA1TORS-AT ARGE
The Boston interview with Mr. Blame on
the proposition to make eXPresldents SEN
ators-ai-Large for life does not exhibit the
brilliant Senator at his best. We shall be
glad, indeed, to hear that the reporter has not
entirely comprehended his exact position.
The Senator is represented as holding
that the scheme il unconstitutional, on the
g1ound that it would violate the clause in the
Constitution providing that "nO State, without
" its consent, shall ever be deprived of its equal
"suilraee in the Senate" Mr. Blaine was once
twitted by a fellow-SenatOr with not being
lawyer. But surely the smallest stickler for
hair-splitting tcchnicalties need never again
object to Mr.. Blaine on that score. He Is
so much of a lawyer in this matter
as TO lose the broad view we are accustomed
to expect from him. Readers will at first be
puzzled to guess how tie act of the Nation in
sending the man whom it had made Presi
dent into the Senate as member-at-large,
could possibly deprive the several States Of
their equal suffrage. Because, explains Mr.
Blaine, the President would necessarily be-
long to ms own State, and thus that State
would have three Senators. 1t is not from
the north of the Potomac we have generally
heard the doctrine Of allegiance to the Stare
before that to the Nation pushed to such an
extreme General Giant. for instance, could
mo-, on Mr. Blaine's theory, give any counsel
as TO public affairs, without first considering
them in the light of the interests OF Illinois
to the gross prejudice of the equal
rights of the other States He was
born in Ohio; he served in Michigan and on
the Pacific Coast while ont Of the Army, be
lived longest in Missouri. But just before his
reappointment he spent some twelve months
in Illinois, Therefore, the ex-General and ex-
President, if placed in the Senate, would
necessarily give his fIst thought TO the inter
ests of Illinois, and the constitutional right
of the other States to equal representation in
the Senate would be invaded.
With all respect to Mr. Blaine, we submit
that this argument does not appear weighty.
Americans are practical people. This seems
too much like asking them TO be deferred from
a positive advantage, by moOnshine.

Mr. George Jacob Holyoake gives New-Yorkers
credit for a reverence for venerable and sacred ed
fees which they do not fully deserve. He says in
speaking of elevated railways here and the viaduct
roads of London, that If We had possessed ST.
Paul's Cathedral we would never have tolerated
railway before il, as the Londoners have We
haven't n St. Paurs, it is true, in the sense. Mr.
UoIvoake meant bat we have a Trinity and also
ST PauPs Church. which, with their surrounding
cemeteries arc considered as venerable as any
buildings IN New-York City, And it happens that
the Metropolitan Elevated Railway has its noisy
terminus in the street directly behind Trinity
churchyard while its trains run directly in front OF
St PauPs or rather in the street on which 1t once
frouted Years ago the old church altered to front
on broadway and the offices of the corporation to
which II belongs were built Church-st.. the former
front of the cemetery The fact s we have less than
our share as a people of veneraion. We make no at
tempt to preserve historic houses in the city, they
have nearly all given way TO the demands of trade.
As MIR. HoIyookc himself says in the article from
which we have quoted. and which was printed in
