that Joel r.. Poinsett took Mr.. Cass's place
as Secretary of War. During the term But
Ter was succeeded by Felix Grundy, who in
turn gave place to Henry d. Gilpin. James

er, James Ashton Bayard, was elected to
the Senate from Delaware in 1904 and
served until 1873, when President Madison
appointed him one of the Commissioners
to negotiate the treaty of Ghent. His un-
Gle, Richard H. Bayard, was elected to the
Senate from Delaware in 1886 and again in
1871. His father, James A., served in the
Senate from 1851 to 1869.
MANNING, SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
Daniel Manning was born in Albany, N.
Y, August 10th, 1881. His parentage was
of Irish, English and Dutch extraction. He
was poor boy, and his early opportunities
for schooling were very limited. At eleven
years of age he went to work as an office
boy at the establishment of the Albany
atlas, which was afterwards merged into
the Albany Argus, with which paper he has
ever since, in one capacity or another, been
connected. In 1873 he re-assumed sole
charge of the A1yuS, and was elected Presi-
dent of the company, which position he yet
holds, though he has done little or no writ
ing for some time. He was member of the
Democratic State Convention of 1871 that
nominated Samuel J. Tilden for Governor
and was delegate to the ST. Louis Conven-
tion of 1876 that nominated Mr. Tilden for
President. He has been a member of the
Democratic State Committee since 1876 )
was its Secretary in 1879 and 1880, and was
elected Chairman in 1881, which place he
now fills. He was warmly interested in the
nomination of Mr.. Cleveland for President
at Chicago last July, and it is generally con-
ceded that he showed great skill in the con-
vention as the head of the New York dele
CATION. Mr.. Manning has been active and
successful outside of journalism and poll
tics. He has long been Il director of the
Albany and Susquehanna Railway Com
ic nf ho Nofin
mercial Bank, of Albany, of which he was
first director and then Vice President. He
is also Park Commissioner of Albany and is
a director of the Albany Electric Light
Company.
ENDICOTT, SECRETARY OF WAR.
William CrOwninshield Endicott, Mr.
Cleveland's Secretary of War, was born in
Salem, Mass, in 1927, and is the son of VIM.
Putnam Endicott and Mary, daughter Of
Hon. Jacob Crowninshield, who was Rep
resentative to Congress. He attended the
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1885-03-19

Salem schools, and was graduated from Har-
ward College in the class of 1S47. He mar
ried his cousin, a daughter of George Pea
body, and has two children, a son and a
daughter. Judge Endicott studied at Har-
ward Law School, and read law in the office
of the late Nathaniel J. Lord. He was ad-
mitted to the bar about 1850, and few years
later formed partnership with the late J..
w. Perry, and continued with him until his
appointment by Gov. Washburn to seat on
the Supreme Bench in 1873. This position
he held until 1882, when he resigned on ac-
count of his health. In 1882 he made an
extended tour of the Continent. He was a
member of the Salem Common Council in
1852, 1853 and 1857, when he was selected
President of that board. He was City So
licitor from 1858 to 1868. He is a member
of the Historical Society and of the Board
of Overseers of Harvard College. The new
Secretary of War is direct descendant
from Gov. John Endicott. Politically Mr..
Endicott is of Whig antecedents, his affilia-
ton with the Democratic party dating from
the Bell-Everett campaign of 1860, but he
has never been an active politician. Last

Stanton, McCulloch, Wells, Speer and Den
nison.
President Johnson's Secretary of State was
William H. Seward. His Secretary of the
Treasury was Hugh McCulloch, of Lincoln's
Cabinet. His Secretary of War was first +.
NJ. Stanton, then Gen. Grant and finally
Gen. Schofeld. His Secretary of the Navy
was Gideon Welles, of Lincoln's Cabinet.
His Secretary of the Interior was first James
Speed, of Lincoln's Cabinet; then Henry
Stanberry, and finally VIM. M. Evarts. His
Postmaster-G General was first William Den
nison of Lincoln's Cabinet, and then A. w.
Randall, of Wisconsin. Three of President
Lincoln's Secretaries, Seward, McCulloch
and Welles, remained in President john
sons Cabinet during his entire term.
In Grants First Cabinet were Fish, Bout
we'll, Rawlins, Cox, of Ohio, Robie, Hoar
and CresWell. In his later Cabinet were
Belknap, Robson, Delano Akerman, Rich
ardson and Chandler. In Hayes admins
tration were Evarts, Sherman, McCrary,
Thompson, Schurz, Devens and Key. Gar
fields council consisted of Blaine, Window,
Lincoln, Kirkwood, James, Hunt and Nc
Veagh. Arthur's round table was made up
of Frelinghuysen, Folger, VIM. E. Chan
dler, Teller, Hatton, Lincoln and Brewster.
Compared with any of these the names
of Bayard, Manning, Endicott, Whitney,
Lamar, Villas and Garland, will sound well
and carry weight

fall, it may be recalled, he was the candidate
of his party for Governor in the State, but
he did not himself appear in the canvass,
and received comparatively small vote.
AS lawyer and judge, MIR. Endlcott
holds high rank, and personally he is gen
tlemen of the highest character. The object
of the appointment is manifestly to crafty
the Independent allies of the Democracy,
and may be accepted as an indication of MIR.
Clevelands purpose to make them, if posi-
BILE, permanent supporters of himself and
his party. The rank and file Of the regular
Democracy appear to acquiesce in that idea,
as shreWd and polite thing to do, though
there are, unquestionably, a dozen leading,
New England Democrats, the selection OF
any one of whom for the Cabinet, they
would have hailed with warmer and more
sincere satisfaction.
WHITNEY, SECRETARY OF THE NAVY.
William Collins Whitney, Democratic
Secretary of the Navy, is q native of Con-
way, Massachusetts,, and was born in 1882.
His father, General James S. Whitney, who
had been Collector Of the port of Boston, a
delegate to the Charleston Convention of
1860, and prominent among the great Dem.
ocrats of that State, was regarded as one of
the leaders of the party. The latter died
in 1873 during the exciting contest against
Benjamin F. Butler. After being gradual
Ell from Winston seminary, aG TItSlilaluP-
ton, William c. Whitney entered Yale Col
lege in 1859. With William G. Sumner, the
we'll known writer and teacher upon poiti-
cal economy, who was his classmate, MIR.
Whitney divided the first prize for English
essays He was chosen to deliver the ora
ton of his class on graduation. Entering
the Harvard law school, he was graduated
in 1868, and continued his studies in New
York with Abraham r. Lawrence, now one
of the Judges of the Supreme Court. On his
admission to the bar he began the practice
of his profession, which he has since fol-
lowed.
In 1871 Mr.. Whitney took a foremost part
in the organization of the Young Mems
Democratic Club, which still continues as a
vigorous and powerful political factor. He
was prominent among those in the club who
maintained and perfected the system of in
specton at the polls in the memorable cleo
tion of that year, when the citizens asserted
their rights and fought against the notori-

A spider spun gossamer web
With threads Of the finest tether,
And as light as the buoyant thistle-down
It swayed in the wind and weather.
And over the threads the breezes swept,
As sweet as fairy vesper,
And over the leaves and the grass below,
Came faint Eolian whisper:
"Oh! was woven of silken strands,
In web and woof together,
And I swing from a thistle's prickly top,
On the brown and wind-swept heather.
..I'm lulled to sleep by the cricket's chirp,
wake at the skylark's 8 warning,
am wooed by the twilight's loving eyes,
And the tender kiss of morning.
II hear the chant of the bending trees,
From distant thicket's cover,
And faint and far from the sky above,
The cry of the golden plover.
"To-day goes by and tomorrow comes,
And It leaves me as it found me,
am safe from all destroying hands,
With the arms of Nature round me.
II care as little for time and tide
As the fickle wind that passes,
NY world is here with the sun and dew,
Along with the leaves and grasses"

Villas, POSTMASTER-GE
William F. Villas was born at Chelsea,
Orange county, Vermont, July 8, 1910.
When he was eleven years old he went to
Wisconsin, where few months after, he
was entered a pupil of the preparatory de-
partment of the University of the State.
In 1858 he matriculated in the freshman

BAYARD, SECRETARY OF STATE.

Thos Francis Bayard was born at Will
mington, Del, October 80, 1929. He was
chiefly educated at Flushing School and his
early training was for a mercantile life.
After having had some experience in busi-
ness in New York he returned to Delaware
and studied law with his father, Hon. James
A. Bayard, who was then in the Senate.
He was admitted to the bar in 1851 and in
1853 he was appointed United States Dis,
trict- Attorney for Delaware, but resigned
in 1854 and went to live in Philadelphia,
where he remained until 1856, when he re-

He contributed largely to the honest vote
and count which turned the rascals out. The
attention of Mr.. Tilden was attracted by his
sagacity and courage exhibited in that con-
test. Mr.. Whitney's prominence in the
politics of New York has been uninterrupted
since that time. The friendship of Mr.. Til
den given him then has never been with
drawn nor weakened.
Mr.. Whitney served as an Inspector of
Schools in 1872, and the same year was de-
feated for istrict-Attorney as the candidate
of the Reform Democracy owing to the de-
moralization of the party.

THE CRAFTSMANSHIP OF To-DAY.-The
Massachusetts Legislature was in session
last week less than three hours. Many
are business men who keep right along
with their business while giving the State
little fraction of their time each day.
They rush up to the State House at 2 o'clock,
stay 90 or so minutes, "adjourn," and then
90 back to work. Menantime the Western
Massachusetts members who can't 60 home
every night, can roam the streets of Boston,
or lounge in the hotel and mediate upon
the glowing speeches made less than
month ago, calling for short session!

setts Legislature is, anyway !-NeO Eng
