MORRIsoN.-lllnois, it Is fair to presume,
will favor the nomination at CINCINNATI of
strong eastern man for the presidency if one
can be found who Will unquestionabiy unite
the New York democracy and carry the states
of Connecticut and New Jersey. In case the
convention, however, can agree on no such
man, and turns to the West for a candidate,
there Is no doubt but the name of Colonel Nor
rison, of this state will loom up very promi.
nently. He is a man of modest bearing and
pretcntlonS, but always grows up to the level
OF his position; as, Tor example, there was n
sheer when speaker Kerr put him at the head
OF the ways and means committee OF the house
three years ago, but it was soon found that the
committee never had had an ADLER chairman.
Watterson, of the Louisville Journal, who serv.
cd with him IN congress, says OF Col Morrison
"llc has wit; but it Is of the brittle bitiAg sort
He has a clcar-cut mind; but 1t is brusquc to
impotence. He can give more offense on the
least provocation, and do it with more cool de-
liberation, then any man of equal ability, self
possession, and good heart in the house A
quiet resolute man, with devilish courage,
and no concealments and no tact, he would be-
positively unpopular if he were not one of the
most Transparency honorable and kindly of
men. When Morrison gets anything il is a
tribute to his worth, not TO his management or
his manners"

ment of the death, at the family residence, 25l3,
Wabash Avenue, Chicago, Oh Tuesday morning'N
of Mrs JEANETTE GLOVER, wife OF Hon Jos. O.
Glover.
Mrs. Glover had been in failing health for some
months past, and though her death came sooner
than was anticipated, her complaint was realized
to be beyond the reach of human skill. She was
the daughter Of Judge Hart, of Oswego, n. Y,
and sister Of Mrs DR.. F. II. Hamilton of New
York City, Mrs. Burton c. Cook, of Chicago and
Mrs. George Bennett, of this city. She came
with her husband to Ottawa as early as 1887 or
'3S, and had lived here continuously until eight
or nine years ago. when the family moved to
Chicago. Her funeral, which took place at Chi
cago on Thursday from the family residence, was
attended not only by large concourse Of Chca-
20 relatives and friends, but by number from
Ottawa. Among the pail bearers were Geo. H.
Norris, Henry +. Eames d. l.. Hough and Hon
Lyman Trumbull. The profusion OF flowers at
the funeral, the offering Of affection and friend.
ship, was wonderful, consisting Of crowns an
chOrs, harps, &c, with an immense cushion at
the head of the casket, bearing the words "At
Rest in blue flowers. The Rev Mr.. Evarts, of
Plymouth Church, conducted the services, and
Pref. Fiske, of Chicago Theological Seminary,
delivered discourse, in which he dwelt mainly
on the peculiar traits Of the deceased, which be
said might be summed up in strength of Charac-
ter and amiability of disposition. She was given
TO hospitality, and her affection for family and
friends knew no bounds. He alluded feelingly
to the strong attachment between her and Ers
Cook, and closed with the words, Lovely and
pleasaNt in their lives, in death they were not
long divided"
The long residence of Mrs. Glover in Ottaws,
the prominent position she ever held here asa
leader in society, in church work and all womaR
ly enterprises and deeds Of benevolence and
charity, make our people feel her loss as in

Richards Bros. e. Co. have taken possession of
the building lately occupied by the Western Cut
lcry Works and are getting their machinery in.
to position to begin active work. Progress is
slow, since all the shafting has to be replaced
but in few days they will be ready. Starting,
they will furnish employment to five hands, to
be increased as necessary. They contemplate
erecting some time in the future a foundry for
making their own castings which are now made
for them. Their product will be barn-door and.
gate hangings and rollers and articles of hardware
for doors and gates. They also are preparing to
use their device for hanging doors in dwellings.
Their device: a roller and hanging for doors is
very SIMPLE but effective. 1t consists of two roll
lers connected by a bar, on which rests a track
attached to the upper end of the door, the rollers
running on track SIX or eight inches from the
top Of the door All the machinery" is at the
top; the door is held firmly in place; and there is
no opening for disorders in working. They have
been in use but Il short time, but are finding ia
