whom are still living. Her relations
with her first husband were said to be
very unhappy, but that was before ]

q very intense nature, all fire and
flame, yet not without her gentler
moods, when she was very charming
and loveable. As child Adeline was
extremely like the mother, could give

When she was years old we came to

The Washington correspondent Of
the Hartford Times makes the glad
prophecy for Virginia that "Wise is
going to be badly beaten. He will
fail to get the negro vote in many Sec
tons OF the state. There is bad
break in the readustcr party, but even
if it was solid Lee would be elected,
for the simple reason that Virginia is
democratic. When Malone had the
federal government behind him he man
aged to carry the state. He also had
the advantage Of hard times and a
mixed up debt question. Now times
are good, and the debt question has
been settled by the United States
supreme court"

President Cleveland is credited with
the declaration that he was elected for
other business than helping to win a
political campaign in Ohio or any other
state. If the President sticks to this
view Of the matter there may not be 50
much fun in political campaigns as
there used to be when Presidents went
swinging around the circle, but the
public business is certain to be better
performed. Presidents were not orig
inally intended by the constitution of
the United States to be winners of
other peoples political battles. If
President Cleveland succeeds in bring.
ing the Presidency back to its original
significance, he will have done work
