The Successful Nominee.

Grover Cleveland, the man nominated for
President by the Democrats, is a native of
Jersey, born at Caldwell, Essex cc0nty, March
Is, 1887. His father was a minister, and the
candidate has living relatives prominent among
the Protestant clergy, not to speak of his numer-
Gus clerical ancestors. After receiving such in
s~truction as was p%rocurable from the common
school in various places of the parental resi-
dence, young Cleveland was sent to the Acade-
my, Clinton, Oneida county, New York. Upon
leaving this seat of learning he went to New
York city, where he file! for some time the
position of clerk in an institution for the blind.
He is next heard of making his way West, in
company Nth an e~nterprising young man,
with Cleveland, o., as his objective
point; but visiting, while on his
way. an uncle residing in Buffalo, he was in
duced to emain in that city, as clerk In the
store of his relative. He was Is years of age at
that time, an ambitious young fellow, possessed
of the earnest desire to become a successful
lawyer. His uncle favored this aspiration, and
we soon find the youth a clerk in the Office of a
law firm and at the same time enjoying the
comforts of a good home at his relatives house.
He was admitted to the bar in 1858. His first
political Office was as assistant district attorney
for the county of Erie, under c.. @. Torrance.
he held the position three years, until the end
of his superior term of Office, when he was
nominated for district attorney on the Demo-
cratic ticket, but was defeated. In 1870, five
years after this failure, he was elected sheriff
Of Erie county, and in November, 1881, was
elected mayor Of Buffalo by a decisive MAORI
ty. Last year he was elected governor of the
state of New York. He is a bachelor.

Record of Casualties.

At Toledo, o., in four hours twelve acres,
containing twenty million feet of lumber, had
burned over. The losses are as follows:
Mitchell and Rowland Lumber company, $780,
600; insured, $255, 900; Nelson, Holland & Co,
loss s75,W fully insured; Kelly, $1,000;
fully insured; over $5,0O0,O00 of property
were jeopardized by the fire,
The painful discovery has been made that the
late W. r. McGIl, president of the Cincinnati
4 Eastern railroad, who came to his death by
falling from the door of a baggage car to the
bottom of a trestle near Winchester, has been
raising money by fraudulent practices. This
gives color to the theory that his death was a
suicide. He had been in easy circumstances,
but since his connection with the railroad has
been much embarrassed.

Porfrio Diaz, who has been reelected
President of Mexico, seems to be almost
the only man of intelligence, force OF
character and honesty among the Next
can leaders of to-day. His predecessor,
Gonzalez, was of the ordinary type OF
the feeble and corrupt intriguer, who
was mainly anxious to plumber the
treasury, and, under the circumstances,
the provision of the constitution pre-
venting the election of president for
more than one term, simply results IN
alterations between good government
under Diaz and peculation and incapac-
ity under those who have preceded or
followed him.

Application has been made to Mr..
Lowell, the United States Minister at
London, in behalf of certain Scotch
holders of the bonds Of the Oregon Rail
way for his official aid in protecting their
interests. The boadholders in question,
it seems, claim that they subscribed the
money or part of it with which the road
was built; that their agents, the direc-
tors of the road, leased it to the Oregon
Navigation Company, and that company
has disregarded the lease and has thrown
the road into a damaged condition to
the injury of the bondholders. The
Scotch holders of bonds will soon learn
that the United States government has
nothing to do with private contracts be-
tween them and citizens of the United
States. Our courts are open to all, but
the government guarantees nothing to

friends to seat himself at the board, but in the
midst of the game he would suddenly sweep
the pieces, rise, and start of to attend shat

had not forgotten his cunning at chess is evil
denced by the fact that during the recent visit
of Steinitz to this city, he carefully followed the
games Of that player as they were reported by
the players, and criticised their moves.
Paul Charles Morphy, born at New Orleans,
