i.ev T. Morton is the son OF clergyman
and the descendant Of New England Puritan
family, and was born In Shoreham, Vermont,
about sixty'fve years ago. He was educated
In the local academy; engaged In business in
Hanover, New Hampshire, at the age Of
twenty years, and at twenty-five was o clerk

Five years later he founded the dry goods

New York City. In 1868 ho established the
banking house OF Morton & Bliss, OF which
he is still the head. His business career has
been uniformly prosperous, and he Is
to-day regarded n millionaire. Mr. Morton's
active interest in politics began in 1876, when
he was for the first time q candidate for Con-
gress, and narrowly missed success Two years
later he ran again In the Murray Hill District OF
New York City, and was elected. In 1890 Mr..
Morton was talked OF for second place on the
Presidential ticket which was, however given
to General Arthur. President Garfield ap-
pointed him United States Minister to France.
Two years ago he WAS u candidate for the Sen
ate, but was unsuccessful.

Reason Enough.

"May it please the court, there are
thirteen reasons Mr.. Juror is not here
to-day. The first is, he is dead; the
second"
"Hold!" interrupted the court. eve
want no second One such reason as
that is sufficient"
There are at least thirteen reasons why
the thoughtful American voter should
not vote the Democratic ticket this year.
The first is, the Democratic party is op.
posed to the protection of American In.
dustry. The second--but second Is not
necessary. One such reason is enough.

The Judicial Convention.

The Republican Convention for this,
the Fourth Circuit, met at Chillicothe,
o., on Wednesday. OF last week, and
after ballotting seventy.seven times
nominated Major d. A. Russell, OF Pome-
roy, for Circuit Judge.
Major Russell was good soldier, an
able lawyer and his nomination is q
most excellent one. TIE candidates be-
fore the convention were about evenly
divided in strength, until the break
started for Russell, after the withdrawal
of Mr.. Newly. 1t was one OF the most
exciting and hotly contested Judicial
Conventions ever known, the ballotting
lasting day and night. We are sure
the nomination will prove satisfactory
all around, though the friends of Mr..
Newly regret that he was unable to re-
ceive the prize, but he certainly did the
wisest and best thing by withdrawing
his name, thus breaking the dead lock,
because, this county, after supporting
Col. Louden until they saw his nonina.
tion was not among the possibilities,
then threw its votes to Major Russell,
and secured the nomination for him.
Ross county in her endeavor to dis.
please none, offended all. She gave her
votes to Newly, and her promises and
influence to all the other candidates in
as near equal proportion as she could
get it, Senator Massie, however, at all
times remaining true to Highlands can
didate. While Ross county voted solid
ly for.Mr. Newly good many times, a
set of Chillicothe Republicans, some Of
them in the delegation and some OF
them not, created and spread the i'm.
preston among the friends of the other
candidates, that they did not expect or
desire the nomination OF Newly, but
were supporting him merely for politi-
cal reasons, and by this means the
friends of every other candidate were
led to expect break in the Ross delega-
ton on every ballot, and the friends Of
each were expecting to get the benefit
of the break. This accounts in a great
measure for the deadlock that ensued,
because with the honest support of Ross
county, the nomination OF Cyrus New
by would have been almost certain.
Ross county Republicans by voting for
him solidly as often as they did, ac-
knowledged that they o,ced their solid
support to Mr.. Newly, but by their
talk on the outside-that is, those of
them that did so-they proclaimed their
unfaithfulness, and lost the respect and
confidence of the whole convention.
We venture the opinion that Ross
county was more generally "cussed"
than any other quantity in the conven.
ton. One thing they made evident,
and that is, that Ross County Republi-
cans intend to name Judge Clarke's sue.

their course at the recent convention
was wise one, having in view that end,

The Candidate for Circuit Judge.

Major Daniel A. Russell, the Republic.
can candidated for Circuit Judge in this
Circuit, is resident of Pomeray, Meigs
county, Ohio, and is, we judge, in the
neighborhood of fifty years OF age. He
was brave soldier and has an army
record that any soldier would be proud
OF. He is pure and upright man and
an excellent lawyer, and his selection is
most excellent one. He should and
will receive the united and hearty sup
port of the Republicans of this county.
There is nc doubt of his election.
The News-Herald. [volume] (Hillsboro, Highland Co., Ohio) 1886-1973, 1888-07-05

One OF the squarest and most inffuen-
tial men in the recent convention at
Chillicothe was our Senator, David
Mead Massie. No man outside the
Highland county delegation did as much
for Mr.. Newly as did Senator Massie.
There is no false position or double
dealing about you, Mr.. Massie, and
Highland county Republicans will not
only vote but tclk for you.

The possible combinations with these

innumerable that it becomes evident
that the Republican party has great
many more chances OF success this year
than its enemies have calculated upon

If for any reason the Pacific Coast
States should slip away from the Repub-
lican column, the basis of calculations
would be changed by II votes (Califor.
mia 8, Colorado, Nevada and Oregon each
- to l65. In such case the vote of New
York would exactly carry, as follows:
Republican States Except Pacific Coast). .l65
New YORK. ..................... VI
POI
But in that case neither OF the other
combinations would be possible, nor
would the combined votes of the three
doubtful States New Jersey, Connecti-
cut and Indiana) make an election, the
figures standing thus:

The addition Of the 9 votes of West
Virginia, however, would Just carry. The
discussion of the possibility OF certain
Granger States going Democratic in some
contingencies has led to the considera-
ton OF these figures

Minnesota and Winconsin). .l48

This would not quite elect but few
persons longer regard it possible to lose
any one of them. Here are some propo-
sitions, however, in that line: With
New York the party could lose either
Michigan or Wisconsin, or both Minne-
sofa and Nebraska or Iowa, and still
carry the election. With New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut, the Republican
column would climb up to 233 votes and
the party could then lose any two of the
States of Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota,
Nebraska and Wisconsin. With New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut, the
party could lose the Pacific Coast with
its IL votes, and any one OF the North
western States, and still carry the elect.

The fifteen known species of the sweet
potato arc all found i'll America and only
four of the same in the old world. The
cultivation of this potato Though it is not
truly potato) has been carried on from
the earliest times in America, and there
are strong arguments in favor Of its
American origin; but others argue that
it originated in Asia, De Candolle, the best
authority, not being among the number; {
however, there is good deal Of ur certain
ty about the matter, he himself admits. 1t
is either necessary to assume prehistoric
communication Of inhabitants between
America and Asia, or that the sweet potato
is one of those plants indigenous to wide
extent Of territory on both continents.
The radish is native Of Europe but has
been cultivated from the earliest historic
times from China and Japan to Europe
The builders of the pyramid of Cheops ate
this root Its original home is thought to be
in Western Asia, from whence it spread
both east and west.
The turnlp, cabbage and cauliaower wera
all developed from a coL--l'tn parent stock.
They were natives Of temperate Europe,
and their cultivation was ditfused in Europe
/ before, and in Asia after, the Aryah in
vasion The ancient Hebrews knew moth
ing of them.
Spinach, it is thought, is t.alceable to
the empire of the ancient Modes and Per-
slams. Its cultivation began in Persia about
the time of tho Greco-Ronlan civilization,
but it did not spread vc''ss' rapidly. The an-
cient Hebrews never saw the plant and it
had no ancient cultivation in India
The original home of the common culti
waited red pepper was probably Brazil, and
from America it was ely introduced to
various parts Of the world.
The tomato, or love apple is of American
! origin. 1T was not knowa in Europe before
the discovery of Amer, and it was not
cultivated in Japan one hundred years ago,
It is probable that the cultivation Of the To-
| mato first took place ia Peru. Que variety
of this plant and only one, has been found
growing wild on the se:.:..ore Of Peru, and
on the frontiers OF Mexico and Of the United
! States towards California.
Of all the common garden vegetables,
only two Of them, the pc ss1o and two kinds
OF beans. are certainly 7.nogyn to have Or
l}5inated in America. All others, unless the
sweet potato DO also excepted, were intro
duced from Europe, ana Europe got much
Of them from the East. The antiquity OF
cultivation of most Of t':2se vegetables ia

ology that the probable truth OF theic
origin can be ascerlaincG.
