WHO rs no BE VICEp PRESIDENT

UhN ~ " DE- fJtI-f hbofDH'< =
TIE Vice-Prcsident has ordinarily
proven TO be little more than n member OF
the United States Senate from the Nation
at large, yet II is matter OF great import
ance TO select man OF points and ability
for the position. II Cleveland were to die,
or TO become incapacitated in any way, 1t
would DO very comforting to the whole
country TO have such man as Mr.. Thur
man, OF Ohio, TO take his place. II he
would accept the Office in compliment to
the party he has served 80 faithfully, II
would greatly strengthen the ticket and
arouse an amount OF enthusiasm quite
equal to that which Cleveland's name
does with the rank and file Of the
party. What Democrat in all this broad
land does not know Of "0ld Bandana,"
the modest Roman OF them al?"--the man
who stood In the Senate like breakwater
wiihstanding the onslaughts Of the Re-
publicans when he had but q corporals
guard at his back. Ills name is a
synonym for integrity and his record is a
platform on which the whole party
might easily find sure and secure
footing All the other candidates
mentioned, including Villas, are OBJ
scure when compared with Mr..
Thurman, whose career extends back
more than forty years and is part Of the
history Of the country. lie is the only
man connected with the Government who
has been able 10 cope with the Pacific
railroads and force them even TO a de-
iensivo position. As President OF the
Senate he could not do much perhaps
10 influence such legislation as President
Cleveland has suggested in iuriherance Of
his policy Of making those violaton pay
what they owe TO the Government, but he
would prove moro than a watchiul scnii.
mel and would be an accession TO the coun-
ellis Of Democratic senators, helping them
in the solution Of knotty problems. The
nomination OF Mr.. Thurman TO he Vice
President, by the 81. Louis Convention,
would be hailed with the utmost satisiac-
ton by the Southern States, and would
relieve that body OF any participation in
the contentious that are just now separat-
ing tho Democratic leaders Of Indiana, so
prolific OF candidates for Vice President

O'Dwyer, Of Limerick, has sent letter to

Catholics who attend the League meeting
announced TO be held last Sunday, will be
guilty OF grievous sin in view OF the adj
monitions Of tho Papal rescript The
Bishop regrets that the national organiza-
ton should be risked for the sake OF up

face OF this the Irish Catholics Of Chicago
say they will take their religion but not
