shire, Pennsylvania and Illinois furnishing
all the incumbents so far Cleveland will
be the third president from New York
Van Buren, and Arthur being his prede,
cessOrs.
II is somewhat remarkable that no mem
Der of the United States senate should ever
have been elected to the presidency at the
time of his incumbency. Disreggrding the
fact that experience in this body ought to
fit man for the high office, the people
have ignored the senators. The army has
furnished large number of presidents,
and, with the eXceptian of Hancock, Nc
Clellan and Scott, no military man nomi-
mated for the Office has failed of election.
Warrington owed his elevation to his sue
cess in the field, JacksOns record in the
war of 1912 was the wave which lifted him
into the white house; and Harrison, Tay-

honored with the chief magistracy of the
nation.

They were severaily convicted, sent to Jail

that the court charged the jury from the
bench that the right to the possession of Il
slave was an inalienable right and that who
ever violated it committed treason against
the constitution, and advised the jury to find
its verdict accordingly, which it did. An
incident that well illustrates the John

trial before the commissioner at Ottawa to
determine whether the negro should be
sent back to slavery. While the wrangling

sprang up in the assemblage and excitedly
