Secretary of the Treasury Charles J. Fol-
ger, died on Thursday afternoon, of last
week at his home in Geneva, n. Y. He
was a native of Nantucket, Mass. His par
ents having removed to Geneva during his
boyhood, he was educa ed a, that place,
and has always resided there. Beginning
the practice cf law in 1910, he was in 1914
appointed judge of the Court Of Common
Pleas In 1851 he was elected Judge of the
Ontario County Court. In 1853 he left the
democratic for the republican party, and
ate, in which body he served four success
sive terms. During this period his ability
as lawyer and speaker made him prom
inent figure in New York politics. In
1868 he was appointed assistant treasurer
of the United States at New York. In the
following year he was elected associate
justice of the Court of Appeals, and in
1880. on the death of Judge Church. was
appointed by Gov. Cornell to the chief
justiceship. At the ensuing election he
was chosen chief justice by large major
ity. On October 2, 1881, he relinquished
this position to accept the Office of Secre-
ary of the Treasury, to which he was nom
mated by President Arthur, succeeding
William Window, of MINES ota, appointed
by Garfield on March 5, 1881. He was the
stalwart candidate for The governorsbip of
New York in 1882 against Grover Cleve-
land, by whom he was defeated, the ad-
verse plurality being 1872 1874. AS Secretary
OF the Treasury his record has been in the
main admirable-in advance, in fact, Of
that of his party. In his first report he
urged large reduction of the govern
ment's surplus revenue through reform Of
our tariff legislation, and in his last report
recalled the attention of the legislative
branch of the government to the shortcom-
ings of the tariff act of 1888 On other
matters of practical finance, such as the
silver and national bank note questions
his recommendations, though not acted
upon by Congress, have commanded the
respect of the country.

The New York Republicans are badly
frightened Las, week their central COM
mlttee held meeting and tried hard to
get a colored elector to resign in order
that they might put Mr.. Vim. NJ. Evarts
on the ticket in his place. But the color
ed brother declined to go. and his friends
say he shall not he taken off the ticket.
At the same meeting it was ascertained
that the prohibition vote was also alarm
ing them. The committeeman from the
interior and western portions of the State
were frank in saying that in their sec ions
the Prohibitionists would poll a large
vote and that it would be mostly drawn
from the Republican party. These candid
statements made the New York city and
Kings county members of the committee
vince. Mayor Parsons, of Rochester, said
that in Monroe, Livingstone, Orleans, On
tario and Niagara counties the Prohibition
lists had been very active in holding meet
ings, and he thought their ticket would re-
ceive heavy vote in these counties. The
prohibitionists, he said, boosted that they
would poll 1900 woes iI Monroe county
and exceed this number in several of the
southwestern counties. Several other mem
bers of the committee from that part of the
State conceded with Mayor Parsons and
gave it as their opinion that if the Prohi
bition cause continued to gain Roadway
the party would have a poor chance o.
carrying the State. The members from the
northern section of the State also said that
the Prohibition movement was very strong
up there. The German vote of Brooklyn
and other points are found to be almost
solid for Cleveland, and all the German
papers in Brooklyn had come out decid
edly for that gentleman.

The Cleveland and Blaine Scandals.

! Ex-Gov. Plaisted, of Maine. in the last
issueot hispaper the Neo Age. says: That
Mr.. Blaine is directly and solely response
bile for the scand llous publications. against
Mr. Cleveland in both the Bostor .Jouymal
and Buffalo Telegraph no intelligent person
can have a reasonable doub' What could
be more incredible than that such an at
tack shodld be made upon presidential
candidate without consultation with and
the consent of the opposing candidate or
his responsible managers The infamous
course of the Boston Journal, which was
followed by all the republican organs in
Maine except the Press, stirred up Gov.
Cleveland's friends, and he was consulted
and inquired of whether he would consent
vate character. Gov, c eveland replied to
the sugges ion, Indignantly, No" Such
was the CO duct of Mr. James G. Blaine ;
such was the conduct of Grover Cleveland
! What a contrast -
The New York Herald, in referring edi-
torially to the answer of the Indianapolis
Sentinel in the Blaine libel suit, quotes ex-
Gov. Plasted's charge against Mr.. Blaiae
and says: I'VE should like to add that
under these circumstances Mr.. Blaine has
our unqualified sympathy, but in consid
Grafton of a special dispatch that we print
from Augusta it is impossible to do so.
Sympathy with him must necessarily be
somewhat qualified if it is indeed true
that he was the Immediate ms igator of the
unwarrantab'e attack upon the private life
ofGov. Cleveland his honorable competitor
for the presidency"
Tie Philadelphia Times says. Blaine
has only himself to blame for the publicity
Which his hasty libel suit has given to the
scandal about his marriage. The suit was
a lamentable biunder, regardless of the
truth and falsity Of the publication. II
passed unuoiced the story would speedily
have persisted. But Mr.. Blaine made d
theatrical appeal to the law, and to the
law he must go. He has made public
issue, and he must now submit to have
his most intimate domestic history drag
ged before the pubic sight. The country
did not expect Mr.. Blaine to notice this
scandal, but having voluntarily and OBJ
trusively made the issue, he can afford to
rest with nothing short Of entire and
speedy triumph

Fifty prominent republicans of Newark
n. j., including lawyers, school-teachers
clergymen, merchants and manufacturers
met Thursday evening and passed strong
resolutions repudiating Blaine. While it
was deemed best not to make any further
declarations at present, the meeting was
practically in favor of Cleveland. 1--WE
want to make our votes tell said the
chairman, "and the way to do that is to
vote for Cleveland'' This sentimens was
generally concurred in. The organization
now numbers $50 gentlemen, and it has de-
clared that within a few weeks it would
be increased in Essex county alone, to 1000
voters.

painful, and are in The heshy part of the

had bitten a number of dogs in the neigh.

NAV prove serious.
One of the men employed on the farm
came To the rescue OF the colored boy
