without caring snap whether It pleased
ANYBODY else or not. Ed Shaw and his fol-
loyers. in the meantime, having been denied
admission to the Convention, organized one
of their own and nominated Mr.. T. A. Ham,
ilton. From the appearance OF things then
it seemed that the triangular fight OF two
years ago was TO be had over again, and that
Casey Young would have the same oppo-
uents to contend with who met him in the
last race. The refusal, however, Of Mr..
Moore TO run left the field open to Mr.. Ham,
ilton as the only Republican candidate, but
neither faction OF the ring were satisfied with
him, though they have not yet been able TO
agree upon any one to take the place oil
Moore. Some wanted one OF the Smiths,
some Hill, and others Latin or Tay-
lor; and, finally, being unable 10
agree upon a Republican the ring proper,
which il must be conceded is composed Of the
brains and respectability of the party, have
decided 10 take Democrat. We coDgrstu-
late our Republican brethren on this evil
dence of improvement on their part, and
hope they will cut loose from the less repu-
table of their associates aud come into the
Democratic party. Unless they do this We
fear they will have some difficulty in getting
a Democrat to accept their nomination, espe-
cially ouch an one as Judge Horrigan, who
has been so honored and is so esteemed by
his own party. We fear our friends are
losing their calculations upon slender foun-
dation, for they will scarcely lind in
Judge Horrigan exactly the man TO
lend himself to any scheme devised
for the betrayal of his friends and the
disruption of his party. The Democratic
party selected Judge Horrigan for the dis-
tinguished position of usefulness which he
now occupies, and for which he is go eminently
well fitted, and when they need him In an
other station they will relieve the Republi-
cans of the trouble of putting him there.
We invite these new found friends Of Judge
Horrigan to join the Democratic party and
leave their insubordinste brethren to the
leadership of Tom Hamilton and Ed Shaw.

THE ISSUE roRcIBLr STATED.


John Y. Murry, chairman of the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee OF Tippah
county, Miss, has issued stirring address
TO the Democracy of his county, from which
we make the following extract:
Suppose when the next Congress meets and the
vote Is taken for Speaker, when all the districts
have voted except the Second Mississippi, result
can candidates, and then this district Is called
and M. Chalmers responds. II give the deciding
vote for the nominee of tho Radical caucus :

President of the United States and shall II be SAID
of the Democracy of the banner county, that BY

This brief extract shows the Importance OF
the Democrats in the doubtful districts
uniting for the purpose of securing Demo-
cratic majority in the lower branch of Con-
gress. One vote may possibly elect Speaker
of the next House of Representatives and
possibly president of the United States. By
energy, zeal and harmony Manning and
Young can be elected TO Congress, and in
view of the importance of the Issues involved
it is hoped the Democracy will unite in
determination TO secure their election.

GROVER CLEVELAND.

MAYOR OF BUFFALO.
Grover Cleveland, at present mayor of
Buffalo, was born in Caldwell. county of
Essex, n j., ON March 49, 1887. He is a
rsceI dsnt OF New England family that
traces its linesge directly to Englsnd
though more than two centuries in this
country. 1t is family that has apparent
ly been noted for religious zeal, and for gen.
erations il has had distinguished representa-
tives in the clerical profession. Mr.. Cleve-
lands great grandfather, Aaron Cleveland,
was Congregational preacher of Norwich,
Conn. He was strong man, both mentally
aud physically, and hundred years ago he
was the author OF many radical auti-slavery
papers which attracted public attention.
A great-uncle OF the mayor. known
as "Father Cleveland" was for many
yesrs 4 city missionary in and about Bos-
ton. Mayor Cleveland's grandfather, Will
liam Cleveland, was a merchant of his ma
tive town of Norwich, Conn.,, where he
brought up a large family, one OF his chill
dren being Richard Cleveland, father of the
subject of this sketch. Richard was born at
Norwich, and was educated for the ministry,
embracing the Presbyterian faith. He was
born in 1905, and about 1929 married Miss
Neal, of Baltimore. He was soon after set
tied as pastor in New Jersey, where Grover
as born, and afterward he had charge of
church in Fsyette, Onondaga county, n. Y,
and still later he was settled over a church
in Holland Patent, Oneida county, n. Y,
where he died ia 1855.
The Rev. Samuel II. Coke, the distin-
guished Presbyterian preacher, of New York
City, aud the father of Bishop Cleveland
Coke, who was named after his great-grand-
father, Aaron Cleveland, married sister of
William Cleveland, thereby bringing two
more divines into the family and making
the mayor a second cousin OF the Episcopal
bishop of Western New York. Mr.. Cleve-
lands educational opportunities consisted OF
attendance at ordinary common schools in
country places where his father was located
until he was fifteen years old, when he WAS
sent to the Academy at Clinton, Oneida
county. n. Y. After a brief term in that
school be entered upon a clerkship in one of
the eleemosynary institutions of New York
City. While thus employed he made the
acquaintance of = young man who persuaded
him to undertake Western trip in search of
business opportunities. The point of desti-
nation agreed upon by the young men was
o. 1t does not appear that the
name of the place had any influence with
them in the selection of : future home
This Journey was undertaken in 1855, when
Mr.. Cleveland was eighteen years old. The
young travellers made a stop in this city
chiefly to enable Mr.. Cleveland to pay
visit 10 his uncle, Lewis P. Allen. During
this visit the future plans of the nephew we're
drawn out by Mr.. Allen, to whom the scheme
lid not seem most promising. As much TO |
iissuade his nephew from his Western ven.
ure as anything, he told him that he was in |
aeed OF clerk, and if he would stop in Buff |
alo be should have the situation. The Oder !

staying at his house two months last sum

at her present condition, in view of the fact
that in a married life OF twenty two years
she has not spent six years in her husbands

He has no harsh critism for George
Melville, whom he chsracterizes as
one of natures noblemen-a gentle
