In a dilapidatcd Boston house is living
n family of three-two boys and one girl,

more and more prevalent daily that he i,
the one man IN the country upon whom

is II republican of the old school, Il firm
adherent of the same principles that the

republican faith. He has kept his state
steadtast in the republican faith. He has
been neither stalwart nor half breed ,
indeed, so impartial has been his position

neither faction can claim him against the
other. Besides, he represents some prin.
c'pIes that are gaining in vitility and must
soon be brought to Il final issue. The E4.
munds bill shows his opinion of the Nor.
man abomination, and the energy with
which he would deal with it if he were in

Another fact which would help Mr..
Edmunds' popularity and bring HIM
thousands of votes in every state, is that
ne is man of the people. He
has achieved recognition as the ablest and
purest statesman in New England, and
the foremost constitutional lawyer in the
country. AS dgnitied as it becomes a

Although many democrats do not Xix,

Although many democrats do not like
to be reminded of that fact, Hon. w. H.
English was at the last general cleo ion
the candidate of their party for the vice
presidency. His own state OF Indiana was
at one time regarded as most important
factor in the contest, and Mr.. English
secured the services of Mr.. Murphy, of
New York,who made twenty-five speeches
there in advocacy of the democratic ticket.
The ticket was beaten. and Mr.. English,
to the surprise OF no one, refused to pay
the New York stumper for his services.
Mr. Murphy brought suit for 81 900 in
his own state. and Mr.. English filed y
demurrer that the employment of hired
speakers at political meetings is ag INST
public policy, and agreements to pay for
such advocacy are void. The New York
judge before whom the suit was brough,
has decided that it is not an offence at
common law "for candidate for a national
Office who could not personally present
his individual views Of national policy
over wide area of constituency, to employ
and compensate person for that purpose, :"
and unless Mr.. English can 6nd some
statute law covering the case, Mr.. Murphy
will get his pay.
