As to s'Accident. /"

The Republican party has so woefully
avoided nominating distinguished men,
and been so painfully careful to select
inexperienced and unrenowned mem
bers, that It's cutlery against Cleveland
as an accident and ''nonenity" is
peculiarly absurd. To listen, to this
outcry no one would imagine that in
1856 it passed over such tyros and I'M
knowns as John p Hale, Gideon
Wel!eS Chase, Giddings, Sumner,
Seward, and nominated the experienced
statesman, John c. Fremont, who had
served three weeks in the Senate.
In 1860 it again overlooked school
boys like Chase. Seward, Collamer,
Cameron, Wade, and nominated the
well-tried and celebrated Lincoln, who
had served without distinction onetcrn
in the House of Representatives.
In 1868 it failed to see such green
horns and abecedarians as Wade, Sum-
ner, Fessenden, Wilson, Colfax, Chand.
Ter, Cameron, Butler, but nominated
Grant, who had when nominated lived
in Washington as General OF the Army
about two years.
In 1876 it was apparently unaware o.
the existence of such young pupils as
Blaine, Morton, Chandler, Boutwell,
Morgan, and nominated the sage and
well-seasoned Hayes, who had won 6
worldwide fame Us Governor of Ohio
and member of the Congressiona
Library Committee.
As a matter of fact, with the excep.
! zion of the nomination of Lincoln anC
Grant, for a second term. and of Gar
field and Blaine for first one, the Re
publican party has always fished out
some unknown or inexperienced mar
as its candidate for the Presidency. Two
only out of the six who have been nom.
mated have had any title to the nomin
alton on the score of known and proved
qualifications. The talk of the Blaine
organs about Cleveland's being lion
entity" and an accident is who'll,
absurd and ridiculous. Had their party
been influenced by such talk, only ont
out of their five Presidents would eve
have been elected to the Presidency

Cleveland an Acceptable Candidate.

As the Constitution has steadily pre-
dicted since the positive withdrawal of
Tilden, Governor Cleveland, of New
York, was on Friday overwhelmingly
nominated as the Democratic leader in
the coming campaign.
We are firm in the opinion that we
have put forward our strongest and
most available candidate. Governor
Cleveland is man of the people. He
has fought his way from their ranks to
his present high position with a rapid
ty that is dazzling. From first to last
he has been irresistible. Never beaten
before the people. changing adverse
maiorities with the case of a magician,
he is vested with certain prestige that
hangs about him as an armOr. The
rapidity and certainty with which his
victories have followed each other is at
tributed by some men to ''luck' by
Others to destiny. 1t is probable that
they are due to the fact that he COM
hines more fully than any other man the
elements of reform, and that the people
feel they can safely look to him for the
ability to plan reforms in public affairs
and the courage to carry them out
The Democrats have offered to the
country clean and capable man. He
is the candidate preferred almost unan-
imously by those men who bolted the
nomination of Mr.. Blaine. He appeals
directly to the common sense of the
people, and his record is assurance

In 1913 he was elected TO the Indiana Legts-
iature, and after serving one term declined 8
denomination He was member OF the Con-
sttutional Convention in 1850 and took q
prominent part in the proceedings. He was
then recognized as one of the rising men in
the State, and his election in the fall of the
year as member OF the National House OF
Representatives from the Indianapolis dis
trict showed the esteem in which he was held.
Two years later he was reelected, but on his
third appearance as the candidate of his party
for Congress he suffered defeat He again
applied himself diligently to the practice OF
his profession, but before he had fairly settled
down he was solicited by President Pierce TO
accept the position of Commissioner OF the
General Land Office, and assumed the duties
of that responsible position. In this capacity
his work was of high order.
In lStO, after four years service in the Land
Office, he returned TO Indiana and was the
candidate for Governor against Henry 5.
Lane Mr.. Hendricks made a magnificent
canvass. but was defeated. In 1852, however,
he was chosen to the United States Senate by
the Democratic Legislature of Indiana Dur
ing his six year term he served his country
and party so earnestly and well that he has
ever since been regarded as one of the fore
most statesmen of the country.
In 1868, at the Democratic National Conven-
ton in New York, he was one OF the gentle
men prominently named as the choice of the
Democratic party for President. In 49,,
against his wishes. he was nominated as the
Democratic candidate for Governor of In
diana, and his great personal popularity Sc
cured him the election. although all of his as
sociates on the ticket were beaten. Mr.. Hen
bricks four year term as Governor strength
ened him with the people of Indiana, and to a
greater extent than any other man he was re-
garded as the favorite SON or that state.
In 1875 he was strongly supported by the De-
mocracy of Indiana for the nomination for
President, but that being accorded to Cover
or Tilden, of New York, he received the unan-
imous nomination for Vice-President, With
Tilden and Hendricks as the Democratic can
didaues Indiana was carried for the Democ-
racv in October lS76 and again in November
of the same year. and the fifteen electoral
votes of Indiana went to swell the victorious
column.
Governor Hendricks was married in lS45 to
Miss Eliza c. Morgan, who lived near Cincin'
natl. He has no living children.-DctroI Fret

The Career II Thomas A. Hendricks.

Every one is familiar with the name and
record of Thomas a. Hendricks, the man who
was selected e-President OF the United States
in 1876. and who. deprived of his rights, sub
mitted patiently and quietly to the great out
rage OF which he, as the representative of
the people, was the victim To-day he again
stands before the people as the chosen can
didate of the Democracy TO the office to
which he was once elected. and after the 4th
of March next Will grace the Office TO which
the people win. beyond question. for the sec
ond time call him.
Thomas A Hendricks was born September
l.. 1919 on farm near GAINESVILLE, o. When
he was SIX months old mis- parents removed TO
Madison, Ind. His uncle William, who after
ward became Governor of Indiana, and sub
seouently United States Senator from that
state was then a member of the National
House of Representatives. In 1s22 Thomas
father removed to Sheibyville, where the lad
received his early education. Later he en-
tered the college at South Hanover, and, aft
er graduation, began the STUDY of law with

At TIE STILE.

We had met, and we had parted.
In the stiffness, heavy hearted,
z vas lingering where she left me, at the olden
rustic stie;
Torn bv warning pride and sorrow,
All my soul shrank from the morrow.
With its haunt.Ig recollections, that no hope
could now beguile.
And the silence, like a token
of that fact, so rndely broken, .o-
presence did OF yore;
Seemed to trail along the grasses,
Like a mist. that looms and masses
Shade on shape, till form and shadow blend IN
gloom for evermore!
Gone tor ever! All was ended.
How-we neither comprehended;
For, nor youth nor maiden ever yet was known
in tale or song
Who would own self-wiled, reliant,
He hal proven harsh. defiant
Nor would she confess impeachment when he
deemed her wholly wrong!
So that hour, born of gladness,
Crept away in somhre sadness,
While my heart grew sick to anguish with re-
morseful warnings vain;
Desolate an lost. and lonely,
Still fingered, dreaming only,
Till the passion of my longing brought us face
TO face again!
Face to face! But not in dreaming
Did feel the tender beaming
of the eyes whose limpid azure smiled on me
thro' pleading tearsl
And leaned TO greet my maiden,
With word all passion laden,
As she murmured: LET fOrbearance light
the pathway thro the years."
And that whisper, meek and lowly,
Sweet as music in the holy
Hush of even. fell divinely on the tumult of
my soul
Till like balmy incense stealing
Ger the troubled tide of feeling,
sCrept the rapture of an impulse that no ran
cor could control!
And turned. in shame and sorrow,
Kissed the face that else tomorrow
And forever had rcprOached me with its sad
upbraiding smile;
And the little han IS Outre1ching
In the pathOS of beSeeching,
Close within my own | ciaspt taem-and 70,

Drinking While Eating.

Nature never intended for PEG
pie to wash down their food while
eating. She has wisely placed
salivary glands in various places
in our mouths; they secrete fluid
for the moistening, besides chem
ical action of the food after masti-
cation. This gets the food in a
suitable condition for swallowing.
Drinking every few minutes while
eating prevents the usual flow Of
saliva; also it washes it down be-
fore it can have chemical action
on certain portions of the food.
One of the most pernicious habits
to health is drinking several tum-
blers of water while eating; better
drink warm drinks. The stomach
will not digest one particle Of food
when it has temperature below
100 degrees Fahrenheit; neither
will it digest one atom Of food un-
til all the fluid is first absorbed.
No healthy person should drink
more than a half-pint Of some mild
fluid while taking food, ana dys
peptics should not drink a drop
while they are eating, nor for three
or four hours after-Dr. j. III.
