F THE FENCE.

David Davis, it seems from the
papers, has got off the fence. We
are not at all astonished to see that
he managed to get off on the Repub-
lican side. His little game i'll the
Tilden and Hayes affair was suffi-
cient to show him up. The Repub-
leans need not howl over his return;
he has never left them. While
South he tried to play off Demo
cratic. We had the same opinion
of his Democracy that we have of
the Republican party's honesty,
which candor forces us to say, is
rather at a low ebb. The old man
is of the Blaine type, politically, at
least, but has not the manliness tc
say so. We admire candor in poll
tics as much as anything else, and
we have no patience with a MAJ
who will straddle the fence and pick
berries from both sides.

THE UNIT RULE.

Our readers may think that the
question Of the Unit Rule in Con-
ventions and delegations a hobby OF
ours, and really we connot deny the
charge.
We are of the opinion that now
IS an excellent time to discuss this
important question that has given
so much dissatisfaction in every con-
vention or delegation where adopted.
We cannot be accused Of advocating
the abolition Of the unit rule for
any personal reason, nor for the adj
vancement Of any particular candl-
dates. The National, State and
District Conventions have met and
put their candidates in the field, all
of which are perfectly satisfactory
to The Sun. And now is the time
to insist on doing away with the
abominable unit rule, when no n
can feel it a hit at him.
There is one thing that has been
practiced in delegations in the past
that is unjust, and we do not believe
that the delegations 5ave any right
whatever to impose on its delegates
in that way. 1t is this: A list of
delegates are appointed, and unln-
structed, Gas they should always be-
the delegates hold a caucus, and by
a bare majority force the unit rule
on the entire delegation, without
the least power or authority to do
SO. and so vote them in convention.
Any reasonable man can see at a
glance that it is unfair, unwlse, I'M
lust and ridiculous for one set OF
delegates to force all the delegation
to vote as they do. Each individual
delegate desires his power to vote
from the convention that appoints
him. and If said convention does not
see fit to instruct him how he cast
his vote, he is left free to use bis
Judgment as to how he will vote,
and if he be n alone in his opin-
ion, he has IA right to express it by
his vote, and if said delegate Is
choked off and forced to vote III any
other way, it is an injustice to the
people who he is sent to represent.

POLITICS

The great campaign between the
two political parties Of our land has
begun. From now until after the
election politics will be the great
theme. The independent voters of
the country are taking some bold
steps in the right direction, and the
host seems to grow larger every day.
Large meetings have been held in
several of the great northern cities,
and there is really a great stampede
in the direction of Cleveland, reform
and Democracy. These Independent
voters seem to be determined that
a change in the 'pslicical arena OF
our country shall take place, and
they will no doubt be instrumental
in seating in the presidential chair
Of these United States on March 4th
1884, the nominee Of the great DEM
o~cratic party. This Independent ell
ement holds the balance of power IN
the north, and it really seems, that
after careful consideration, they
have concluded to Use their vote for
the best interest of the land In
which they reside. They seem to
realize the fact that the time has
come when a change in the political
affairs of the nation must be made,
and the corrupt set who now hold
the reins of the %governmet shall be
kicked out, and another set put IN
the scales and tried. The prospects
now are that Cleveland will occupy
the White House from March 4th.
1885, to March 4th, 1889. And
when the Democrats once get IN
power, we predict that the improve
ment in public affairs will be SC
marked that we will have no trouble
whatever in holding our ground FOL
years to come.

GROVER

Grover Cleveland was born in the
little town of Caldwell Essex county
New Jersey on March 18th 1887.
In 1910 his father who was a Presby-
terrain preacher moved to the small
village of Fayetteville N. Y. where
young Grover was for the first time
sent to school. At the aga of IA
years he was put into store of gene
raj merchandise at Fayetteville where
his abilities for measuring and weigh
ing were brought into active use, re-
ceiving fifty dollars IS the reward
for his first years services. During
two years Of apprenticeship he en-
deared himself to his employer to
such an extent as to cause him
to offer superior inducements
for a continuance Of service. The
removal however of the elder Cleve-
land to Clinton caused Grover to dis
continue store-keeping, and gave
to him the long wished for opportu-
nifty to attend a high school, of which
there vast a most excellent one at
Clinton. Here he assiduously APP
piled himself until his family moved
to the Holland Patent, a village of
six hundred people fifteen miles
North of Utica. The family had
been there but q few weeks when
the elder Cleveland died. This threw
Grover on his own resources, and
we next hear Of him as as teacher
in an asylum for the blind in New
York city at that time under the
supervision Of Augustus Schell.
Here he remained two years, and his
record shows great industry, with
the part which was assigned to him
honestly and faithfully performed.
After a short service with his uncle
as book keeper, we next trace him
to the law Office Of Messrs. Rogers
Bowen & Rogers at Black Rock
where he received for services the
sum Of 81 a week and the use of
the library. He boarded with his
uncle in Buffalo quite two miles
away and walked to and from Black
Rock daily. The walk to and from
his uncle's was a long and at that
time a rugged one. The first winter
was a memorably severe one, and
his shoes were broken and he had nc
o%vercoat. But he never intermitted
a day. 1t began to be noticed that
he was the most p%unctual and regu.
lar of the lads in the Office. Often
at night he was compelled to stanc
by the warm chimney in the loft
where he slept and dry his feet afte1
tramping the two miles through the
snow. His senior employer had ia
ken a copy of Blackstone on the frs
day of the boys Office experience and
planting it before him with a bans
that made the dust fly, said; THAT
where they all begin" There wa
a litter ran round the little circle
of clerks, for it was a forebodins
thing to begin with to the average
lad. 1t appears, however, that h
stuck to the Blackstone so we'll tina
he mastered it, and SO absorbed wa
he in it one night that they LOCKED
him in and all went off. He spen
that night with the book and neve
forgot it.

We do hope in the name Of justice
and common sense that delegations,
who have no power to do so, will
never attempt again to force tise
odious unit rule on a delegate. No
set of delegates has a right to adopt
the unit rule. That power certainly
remains with the convention from
whence the appointment as a dele
gate came, and we insist that no SCI
Of delegates has any right to adop'
the rule, unless every delegate ia
vors it, which is seldom the case.

Thomas A. Hendricks.

Thomas A. Hendricks was born
in Muskingum county, Ohio, Sep
TENDER 7, 1919, removed to Shelby
county, Indiana, in 1922, graduated
at Hanover college IN 1871. and at
ter studying law at Chambersburg,
Pa, was admitted to the bar in 1913.
He at nice returned to Indiana,
where he built up a large and lucre-
tive practice. He was elected 10
member Of the Indiana House OF
Representatives in 1913 and OF the
Indiana State Constitutional Coz
vention in 1850. From 1851 to
1855 he was IL Democratic member
of Congress, and from 1855 to 1889
| commissioner Of the United States
land office. In 1868 he was elected
to the Unlimited States Senate from
Indiana, and served with distinction
in that body for six years ending
in 1869.
A a member of the Senate he
took high rank for his answering
devotion to and able advocacy Of the
principles Of his party, distinguish
ING himself by the frankness and
boldness with which he urged his
opinions at IL time when the coun-
try was just emerging from the
chaos Of civil war and the Republic

trenched in power. Throughout the

instances. In 1872 he was again {;
