The Reason Why.

If Walter @. Gresham fails of the
nomination at the convention-as he
may according to all indications at the
present writing-it will not be because
he lacks in any particular, the intel
lectual and moral bone and sinew of
which presidents should be made. 1t
will be because he has never been the
politicians candidate, but the candi-
date of the people; because he is no
wire puller; because he has gone quiet
ly about his business, leaving his boom
to work out its own salvation, without
manipulation on his part. Perhaps it
might be said that he is little too good
stuff for the presidency IN the present
stage of the game.
The local paper, which made the
statnment last week that Judge Gresh-
am was ''the man selected by the rings
who run the government for themselves
and make the people their game, pos
sibly forgets that his famous anti-rail-
road decision in the Wabash case led
other political enemies to assert that
tibet decision was a bid for the votes of
the army of people who are tooth and
nail opposed to the railroad monopolies.
He was clearly not with the ring that
time. One statement has about
as much truth in it as the
other, he has bid for no votes except as
he has bid for them in clean, upright,
life, statesman-like ability and perfect
honesty, His judicial decisions have
been rendered, as are the decisions Of all
just judges, in accordance with the law.
1t is safe to say that man educated
in the points of the law, appointed to a
United States circuit judgeship for his
keen insight into all legal points, knows
as much about administering that law
as does country newspaper. 1t is
much the fashion to denounce every iu-
dicial decision as unjust and benighted.
1t don't make any difference what the
case is or in what state the decision is
made, certain people must needs
condemn it before it is fairly off the
Judges tongue. Weeks and months of
patient inquiry and investigation and
balancing of testimony, count for moth
ing, if the decision isn't what certain
people want, the judges are all corrupt
and the verdict corruption.
We maintain that the country editor
knows more about setting type but we
are willing to admit that he don't know
as much about the administration of
justice as man who has devoted his
life to arduous study of legal techni-
calities.
Judge Gresham's decisions in the
Wabash case and his decision in the
Burlington case were made according
to the writing of the law and prove him
outside of rings, the wise, Independent,
upright judge, the tool of no man or
body of men.

charges utterly false. and Sherman had
the manhood to acknowledge publicly
that he was in the wrong and Chester
Arthur wronged. The Vice-Presidency,
and thereby the Presidency came to
him as pledge of the peoples faith in
his integrity. Out of the mire of SLAM
der and false accusations he came UNI
sullied. His administration as Presi-
dent after Garfeld's martyrdom
was wise, pure, and just.
In all his public and private life
men say of him, Chester Arthur the in
corruptable gentleman. Under this same
Pres. Arthur, Gresham was appointed.
on the death of Secretary Folger, to the
vacant Secretaryship, and he is de-
nounced for this as weak If every
charge against Arthur had been true,
instead of entirely false, Gresham
would have shown strength rather than
weakness in accepting the place. Any
good man, sure of his own righteous
intentions, sould have undertaken he
duties, that, one cabinet Office might
at least be honestly administered. 1t
would be a poor theory that no honest
man should accept Office under man
accused of some crookedness. The
more honest men, the less rogues, and
the less chance for roguerY.
Peace to the stainless memory of the
dead Kingly Arthur, and long life and
honor to his Secretary Gresham.

A Sense Of Duty.

1t is somewhat singular and good
deal amusing, to the uninitiated, to see
how many men are moved to allow
themselves to become candidates for
office, from a supreme sense of duty.
Depew, under great pressure from his
delegation, permitted his talismanic
name to be presented as candidate for
the presidential purple, only from n
glowing sense of his duty to his state
and the Union. 1t was ''with great
self sacrifice" and he himself has said
it, 1t follows that with heart bound
ing with JOY and satisfaction he made
his first and last speech in the conven-
ton, Withdrawing from the dutiful
contest Fair Mistress Duty smiled
upon his devotion to tho railroad en-
ploye and whispered "ah there, stay
there and he did.
That General Sherman entered the
lists from a sense of duty also, cannot be
doubted, when we read his letter wmts
ten on the Sth of January 1884, to some
oflicious person who attempted to
sound him on the subject of the nomi-
nation for the Presidency. 1t runs as
follows:
1T gives me twinge of pain every
time l see my name in print on any
subject other than my pure official
work. am not and never will be can

TO indicate that in this land of freedom,

vention. in his declining years, beneath
his own tendrilIed climber and dried
fruit tree. is to be conceded TO

THE REMARKABLE CURES Which

THE REMARKABLE CURES Which
have been effected by Hoods Sarsapar-
lila are sufficient proof that this med.
icine does possess peculiar curative
power In the severest cases Of scrofula
or salt rheum, when other preparations
had been powerless, the use of Hoods
Sarsaparilla has brought about the
happiest results. The case of Miss
Sarah G. Whittier, of Lowell, Mass,
who suffered terribly from scrofulous
sores; that of Charles A. Roberts, OF
East Wilson, N. Y, who had thirteen
assesses on his face and neck; that Of
Willie Duff, of Walpole, Mass. who had
hip disease and scrofula so bad that
physicians said he could not recover,
arc few of the many instances in
which wonderful cures were effected by
this medicine.
