rhs Succession Nomines.

Grover Cleveland, the man nominated for
President by the Democrats, is native of New
Jersey, born at Caldwell, Essex county, March
is, 1887. His father was a minister, and the
candidate has living relatives prominent among
the Protestant clergy, not to speak of his numer-
GUS clerical ancestors. After receiving such in
struction as was %procurable from the common
school in various places of the parental resi-
dence, young Cleveland was sent to the Acade-
my, Clinton, Oneida county, New York. Upon
leaving this seat oi learning he went to New
York city, where he filled for some time the
position of clerk in an institution for the blind.
lie is next heard of making his way West, in
company with an enterprising young man,
with Cleveland, o., as his objective
polnt; but visiting, while on his
way, an uncle residing in Buffalo, he was in
duced to remain in that city. as clerk in the
store of his relative. He was Is years of age at
that time, an ambitious young fellow, possessed
of the earnest desire to become a successful
lawyer. His uncle favored this aspiration, and
we soon find the youth a clerk in the Office of a
law firm and at the same time enjoying the
comforts of a good home al his relatives house.
He was admitted to the bar in 1859 His first
political Office was as assistant district attorney
for the county of Erie, under C. G. Torrance.
he held the position three years, until the end
of his superior term of office, when he was
nominated for district attorney on the Demo-
cratic ticket, but was defeated. In 1870, five
years after this failure, he was elected sheriff
of Erie county, and in November, 1881, was
elected mayor of Buffalo by a decisive MAORI
ty. Last year he was elected governor of the
state of New York. He is a bachelor.

Application has been made to Mr..
Lowell, the United States Minister at
London, in behalf of certain Scotch
holders of the bonds of the Oregon Rail-
way for his official aid in protecting their
interests. The bondholders in question,
it seems, claim that they subscribed the
money or part of it with which the road
was built; that their agents, the direc-
tors of the road, leased it to the Oregon
Navigation Company, and that company
has disregarded the lease and has thrown
the road into a damaged condition to
the injury of the ~bondholders. The
Scotch holders of bonds will soon learn
that the United States government has
nothing to do with private contracts be-
eEeen them and citizens of the United
States. Our courts are open to all, but
the government guarantees nothing to
foreign or domestic money ~loaners, save
loans made to itself.

Record of Casualties.

At Toledo, o., in four hours twelve acres,
containing twenty million feet of lumber, had
burned over. The losses are as follows:
Mitchell and Rowland Lumber company, $3.50,
COO; insured, S255, 600; Nelson, Holland & Co,
loss $4,000; fully insured; Kelly, $15,O 600:
fully insured; over ~s5,O00,OO0 of property
were jeopardized by the fire.
The painful discovery has been made that the
late W. R. McGill, president of the Cincinnati
& Eastern railroad, who came to his death by
falling from the door of a baggage car to the
bottom of a trestle near Winchester, has been
raising money by fraudulent practices. This
gives color to the theory that his death was a
suicide. He had been in easy circumstances,
since his connection with the railroad has
been much embarrassed.
