The death Of Charles O'Conor re-

The death of Charles O'Conor re-
moves one of the most eminent lawyers
of the United States. He was the son
of an educated Irish gentleman, and
was born in 1904 in New York city,
where he has always made his home.
After receiving common school edu-
cation, young O'Conor studied law, and
admitted to the bar at the age of q
years. He was an untiring and indus
trious student and in a few years, he
worked himself to the front rank of his
provision, in which he became the &C
knowledged leader, position which he
retained until his advancing years COM
PEELED him to retire from active prac-
tics. Charles O'Conor was always
democrat in politics. The only political
Office that he ever held, however, was
that of district attorney, for a few
months, under the administration of
President Pierce. He was a member
of the constitutional convention of 1864.
Few people remember that Charles
OConnor was once nominated for the
presidency Of the United States, but
such is the fact. In 1868 he was NOM
mated for the presidency by the extreme
or "straight-out" democrats, and receiv-
ed complimentary votes to the number
of about 10000, in various states.
During his public career Charles
OConor was regarded as one of the
leading lawyers and one of the most
eminent of American citizens. He was
engaged in some of the most important
cases ever tried in this country. A
quarter of century ago there was no
better known man in the American
metropolis, and there was no better
known voice in the courts than his, ut
tering, as it did, the utter bitterness of
sarcastic emphasis. To the man of to-
day, Charles O'Conor was a tradition.
Now that he has passed quietly away,
after years of retirement, Charles
OConor, by reason of his singularities
and his extraordinary abilities, is worthy
of recall to the peoples memory. It is
claimed for him that he was the last of
the common lawyers, who believe the
common law to be the s'perfection of
human reason" He always stuck to
his old time logic and learning, and was
so thoroughly their master that he was
rarely overthrow by any opponent. It
is said of him that he never allowed his
preconceived opinion to be modified by
any subsequent event, that he always
stuck to his prejudices, and never for
gave an enemy or forgot friend-Bee.

FRALEY, the St. Louis grain gambler,
and Keene, the New York stock gam
bier, are both going to resume. 1t is to
their credit that both will pay dollar
for dollar. There would not be many
tears shed, however, if neither could
resume. Men who gamble with stocks
do not have much more public sympathy
than men who gamble with cards.
