"Come, my man, you are wantedl" said
Haywood, turning toward him, revolver in

Under the stern gaze Of the foreman's

PRESIDENTIAL AsPIRANTS,
Those Who Wanted the Once Most Nevs
Got 1t.

Those Who Wanted the Office Most Never
Got 1t.
1t was the once famous but now forgot
ten William Lowndes, of South Carolina,
who said: 1.-THE Presidency is too high an
Office to be sought for, or declined"
This was his response to the Legislature
of his State when they proposed his name
as a candidate for the Presidency He did
not live to become candidate, or in all
human probability he would have been
elected President in 1924. But his saying
remains, and is still worthy of being
pondered by the ambitious aspirants of to-
day, in the light of history, since its utter
ance in 1922.
A we look back over the Presidential
contests of the past sixty years we see,
says the Chicago Herald, how this great
Office has eluded these who most ardently
sought it. Crawford, Clay, Calhoun, Web
ster, Cass, Douglas, Seward, Chase Conk-
ling, belong to the roll of our great men,
some OF them our very greatest, who each
in his day worked, and strove and intrigued
for 1t in vain. They sought the Office. but
the Office did not seek them, but rather
singled out Harrison, Polk, Taylor, Pierce,
Buchanan, Lincoln, Grant and HAYES No
one can say that any of these Presidents
when elected ranked as high in public life or
as statesmen as those we have first named,
and yet the people kept it from them and
gave it TO these. How passiouately Web
ster, Clay, Douglas and Chase desired this
baublel How persistently they worked for
it, and what anguish they suffered as their
aspirations were defeated!
If any of our statesmen may be said to
have deserved this splendid station they
certainly did. If high merit. conspicuous
public SERVICE and love of country entitle
men to the honor it should have been theirs
And yet, because they so longed for it, so
persistently demanded it, placing upon it so
strongly all their hopes that the people
would not give it to them, as if they were
determined that it should not be prize to
be striven for, but free gift to be
bestowed.
The names Of these great men are none
the less illustrious because they never
reached the summit of their ambition
They would have saved themselves great
bitterness and many heartache, and their
fame would thave been as secure had they
looked upon the Office as Lowndes did.
This chapter in our history may still be
read with profit, and is commended TO the
too-ambitious statesmen of today

The POKER AT Chicaro-

Some of our contemporaries, says the
New York World, are concerning them
selves about Mr.. Thomas c. Platt's inteu-
tons in the Chicago convention. They
seem to suppose that the position the local
boss" may assume will have an important
influence on the conventions action.
New York viii not control the Repub-
lican nomination. The West has the power
to make the candidate and will exercise it.
New York's vote is not necessity of Re-
publican success as it is of Democratic sue
cess. A candidate who can hold the Re-
publican States of 1884 can win without
New York by carrying Indiana with either
New Jersey or Connecticut OF course the
Republicans would Ike TO strengthen them
selves in New York, but it may occur to
them that the best way to DO so will be to
take the Presidential nominee from another
State, and thus avoid those bitter local
rivalries which would be excited by a New
York candidate for President, although not,
as was proved in General Arthurs case, for
Vice President
1t Is pretty certain that a State ike ILL.,
nois will have more influence than New
York in shaping the action Of the Chicago
convention.

riding club was feature Of society life at
Lenox. With the rapid growth of the
leisure class in New York, some means Of
healthful recreation becomes imperative,
and our society leaders, who are all more or
less tinged with Anglomania, naturally turn
to England, where the social conditions are
to certain extent similar, for the lead in
the matter of amusements. Though we
may scoff at the efforts of American society
to follow in English tracks, there is no
doubt that we owe to Anglomania the pres
emit tendency toward outdoor sports, ath-
letics and consequent good health, a ten

Judge Gresham Is put forward with the
special recommendation that he is honest
and honorable. In public life he cast no
anchors TO windward. He never sought to
get in on the ground foer of a corporation.
He never rose behind Jay Gould's breast
works in the Senate of the United States to
FIRE upon men honestly engaged in an effort
TO make jobbers respect their obligations TO
the Government of the United States. He
never traflicked in Spencer rifles nor made
money out of the necessities of the Govern
ment during the war. de never wrote any
Mulligan letters. He never put the bench,
as Blaine put the Spealsership, into schemes
for money-malsing He never telcgraphed
In red-hot haste TO commence libel suit at
indianapolis and then, the campaign over
and the defendants standing ready TO justi-
fy their allegations, ordered it discontinued
upon the allegation that he couldn't have a
fair trial in Indiana. Gresham has not
been advocated as a brilliant man, but as
representative Of the better aspirations of
the Republican party; not as q great, but
as safe, honest, well-meaning man. In
short, he has been presented as the very
aptithesis of Blaine.
Are his proponents sincere in thisl asks
the Chicago Times.
It was natural enough that Garfield,
kindred spirit, a beneficiary OF Blaine's tao
tics in the convention of 1850, member of
the same faction, shareholder like Blaine in
the Credit Mobilier, should call Blaine TO the
chieftaincy Of his Cabinet. Could Gresham
be elected with the understanding that he
would make Blaine Secretary OF State,
thereby proposing TO become mere stalk
ing horse for the purpose Of restoring
Blaine to administrative statlons Probably
not. For such administration would become
Blaine's, not Gresham's.
Yet Gresham,s prepayment hints that
