The HERALD ventured two weeks
ago the opinion that the nomination OF
Grover Cleveland, to be President of
anation of fifty millions would be an at
tempt to spread very small lump of
poor butter over a very large piece of
good bread. and it has not seen fit either
to reuact those words, but, on the con-
trary is in doubt whether Mr. Cleye-
lands nomination is of sufficient size
to cover the Democratic party? Knitted
by Tammany bolted by delegate Ben
Butler, opposed by every labor organ
ization throughout the country. Hoo
ray for Cleveland and Re-f-a-w- en-

friend OF President Arthur. The presi-
dent declined to select man from Da-

GROYER CLEYELAND.

Grover Cleveland, the nominee of the
Democracy for President, is a native of
Essex county, n. j., and is AZ years of
sge. He was clerk in country store
in Fayetteville. n. Y, when II years of
age, and afterward teacher in a school
Tor the blind in New York City; went to
the city of Buffalo when "of age and
studied law, and after four years was
admitted TO practice; became an Office
seeker at once, and in 1868 was APP
pointed Assistant District Attorney at
Buffalo, and was defeated year or two
afterward for District Attorney; was
elected Sheriff of the county in 1870;
practiced law after his term of Office eX-
PRED, and in 1881 was elected Mayor of
Buffalo, and in 1882 was nominated as
the Democratic candidate for Governor
of NewY ork, and owing to a serious di-
vision in the Republican party of the
State, was elected by a large majority.
As Governor he has done tolerably well,
but has succeeded in making himself
disliked by many of the people by his
veto of the Cheap Railroad Fare bill
end other measures relating to the city
of New York. This is all there is of
Governor Cleveland. What he has ever
done to merit the nomination for Presi-
dent of the United States, or what quail
ifications he has for that high office, is
very difficult to discover. He is very
ordinary man in every respect, and has
had no experience whatever in national
affairs. Nobody knows what his views
are, if he has any, on the great questions
of national interest. In this respect, as
in all national respects, his record is alb
solutely blank.

TuOs. A, HENDRICKS.


Thomas Andrews Hendricks was born
in Muskingum county, Ohio, September
IA, 1919 In 1922 his father settled in
Shelby county, Indiana. Thomas grad
uated from South Hanover College in
1871, and was admitted to the bar two
years later at Chambersburg, Pa, after
which he returned to Indiana, where he
began the practice of law. He was
elected member of the Indiana Legis-
lature in IS45, and in 1850 was a dele
gate to the State Constitutional Conyen-
ton. He represented the indianapolis
district in Congress from 1851 to 1853,
and from the latter year to 1859 he was
Commissioner of the General Land Of
flee, having been appointed tothat pos
ition by President Pierce. In 1868 he
was chosen by the Indiana Legislature
to represent his State in the United
States Senate, where he served on the
Committees on Claims, Public Buildings,
Judiciary, Public Lands and Naval At
fairs. He was strongly opposed to the
plan of reconstruction, and also to the
right of franchise to negroes, on the
ground that the foundations of govern
ment ought not to be disturbed during
the war or Immediately after its close.
He was a supporter of measures necess-
ary to the prosecution of the war just
before the Democratic National Conyen-
ton of 1867, Mr.. Hendricks name was
prominently mentioned for the nomina-
ton for the Presidency. and at the con-
yention, which was held in Tammany
Hall. New York, he received 1872 votes
to 1851 cast for General Hancock. The
name of Horatio Seymour was proposed
when it was seen that the contest be-
tween Hancock and Hendricks would
be long one. and the latter was nomi-
mated. In 1860 he was defeated by
Henry l.. Lane for Governor of Indiana.
and in 1868 by Conrad Baker, but was
successful in the race for the Govern
ship in 1872. At the National Demo-
cratic Convention, held in st. Louis in
1876. his name was again mentioned
for the Presidency, but, as is known,
Mr.. Tilden secured the place, and Mr.
Hendricks was given second place on
the ticket. Since 1876 Mr. Hendricks.
has attended to his law practice.

"Queer Ducks"

Newspaper men are queer ducks"
said local politician, who was one of
the Committee of Arrangements for the
National Republican Convention in
1880, as we turned and walked out of
the theater. They remember we'll
when they want to, and arc close as
oysters when they don't want to re-
member. There is one of them in town
who played a trick on our committee
in 1880 that upSets me whenever think
of it. Tickets, you know, were very
scarce, and we were driven nearly crazy
by persistent applications from distin-
guished visitors.
''Thc man Fspeak of made no appli-
cations for tickets. He went to a re-
gala store and purchased the most
striking and elaborate badge he could
find. He took tits 10 printing office
and prin ed on it Grand Marshal of
the Convention and with that worn
conSpicuously on his coat he sailed by
the dOor-keepers without being chal-
lenged, and passed and repassed. re-
ceiving from ushers, detectives and
guards the most respectful considera-
ton. He grew holder the second day,
and passed in probably dozen persons.
The next day he took in twice as many,
and in the end passed in to the Exposi-
ton Building probably hundred per-
sons. All this was done with the -four
ish of certainty, courage and convic-
ton, and the fun of the thing was that
none of the committee thought at the
time of inquiring into the matter"
The same man. said night editor
OF one of the morning papers when he
heard the name,' lis the fellow who is
mainly responsible for the Inauguration
of the movement that drove DIR. Thomas
out of the Methodist Church. He was
present at the gathering of few friends
when the Doctor was called upon to
make few remarks over the remains
of an actor who had died the day be-
fore. The Doctor, i'm the plentitude of
his sympathy, had written out some
general observations suited to the occa-
sion, but after looking them over decid-
ed to take up slightly different line of
thought.
HE put the manuscript in his coat
pocket and proceeded to speak off hand
such words of comfort as came TO his
mind. His newspaper friend, seeing
that the Doctor was absorbed in his
subject, extractel the manuscript from
his coat-tail pocket and took it TO a
morning paper, in which it was printed
as n verbatim report of what Thomas
said at an actors funeral. The Doctor
was embarrassed in his denial because
he knew that the alleged report was
what he had written but had not
spoken. Out of these circumstances
came the agitation that led to the
withdrawal of DIR. Thomas from the
Methodist Church. = Chicago Inter

An Accomplished Negro Batter.

One day last fall handsome mulat-
to boy came to the door of friend of
mine, asking for work. He was good
butler, he explained, despite his years;
he had been carefully trained and could
do many things outside his strict line of
duty. My friend happened to need just
such a serving man and accepted him
very inprudently on his face, which
was good, without asking particularly
for his recommendations, which were
bad. He was most accomplished serv-
ant He knew all about the dining
room; he knew all about the front door;
he was willing and ready, and quiet,
and a great success in every way. He
was an extremely polite boy, thorough
ly gentle and kind, and he soon worked
his way into the good graces of the
family. One day. when one of the
young ladies was playing on the piano,
he was discovered listening. The next
day he was found listening again. His
devotion to music was remarked upon.
Finally he plucked up courage to ask
whether he could not sit down TO the
piano at odd moments when the ladies
were otherwise engaged. They said he
could. He did at the first opportunity.
and for mulatto servingman he played
exquisitely. OF course the ladies heard
him, and were pleased. They felt they
had jewel. They did not have him
long. One day after he had won the
hearts OF the whole family he quietly
stepped out with all the jewelry he
could lay his delicate hands on. On
Tuesday he was arraigned at the bar of
the Police Court, charged with having
swindled dozen families in the same
way He pleaded guilty in his dulcet
tones to each charge. and was held in
heavy bail for trial. Cor. PailaGstphig

You may think him Ounce,
But he begged that for once

Overhearing the din,
His father came in.

You shall have your request

Whom two hours had passed,
John grew sleepy at last
And so tired that he feared he would fall from
his chair;
But, attempting to go,
Heard his fathers stern mo!
Keep your seat at the table. Your place, sir,
is there"
OH how slow licked the clock,
With its dickory dock
For his father insists that the boy keep
awaken,
Till quite humbly he said:
May please go to bed?
I've found you were right, and made mis-
take"
His father said yes;
And now you can guess
If ever that boy did the same thing again.
No sermon could preach,
No punishment teach,
lesson more clearly than he learned 1t then.
Now. boys. when you're told
That it's bedtime, don't scold,
And say that you feel just like keeping awake.
Sitting up all the night
Isn't such a delight
Just try II for once, and you'll own your mis-
