Mugwumps, in late issue of Harpa's

men who will compose the Democratic
National Convention. He comedies that
there is growing opposition to Presi-

them that an effort is being made to use
the ''two-thirds-ruler fatally against his
denomination. He notifies them that
/ the party for which he is spokesman can
not be depended upon to support any
other Democratic candidate than Cleye-
land, and urges Democrats all over the
country to unite on his denomination

CHEF JUSTICE WAITE, the announce
ment Of whose sudden death Friday,
was a great shock to the entire country,
come to his high office comparatively
unknown in National sense. The only
public service he had ever rendered up
to the time Of his appointment as Chief
Justice, in January, 1872, was a. counsel
10 the Government in the Alabama arbi-
tration at Geneva. This service was per-
formed in a manner most gratifying TO
the United States Government and no
doubt led to his elevation to the Supreme
Bench. Although the Senate had refused
TO confirm Caleb Cushing, whom Presi-
dent Grant had previously nominated for
Chief Justice, and Senator Sumner in a
bitter speech opposed Mr. Waite, he WAS
confirmed without a dissenting vote, and
it was not long before the country real
lied that the mantle OF Marshall, Taney
and Chase had fallen upon 4 worthy and
competent successor The Office is re-
garded by many as the highest in the
land and it requires qualities that are not
looked for in any other position pro-
found learning, absolute fairness, and
greatest dignity. Chief Justice Waite
had all OF these, together with an urban
ity of manner that endeared him to his
associates and Others. Senator Hoar
said on Friday: "Chief Justice Waite
brought 10 the discharge Of his great du-
ties an ability and impartiality, = consul
mate and unrivaled good sense which
never failed 10 equal the demands Of ey-
cry occasion. He wasa man of unsullicd
purity Of life, of kind heart, OF uniail-
ing courtesy and Of admirable temper
and tact. do not think President Cleve-
land can find. in the political party from
which his selection will undoubtedly be
made, lawyer who can fill the place of
the chief justice in the public regard, or
in the discharge of the duties Of the
office"

Nearly all the victims were spectators The

All switchmen Go Out.

CHICAGO, March 24-The swiichmen OF
the Chicago, Burlington q Quincy road
struck last night at midnight. All engines
were run into the roundhouse this morning,
and everything is quiet around the yards.
Not freight train Is moving. but the pas
senger trains are allowed TO move as usual,
the Strikers not interfering in any way.
They have given no reason for their with.
drawal, but the impression prevails that the
X of l.. has at last decided to come 10 the
aid Of the striking Burlington engineers and
viii try to force the company To take back
the strikers. 1t is also hinted that the switch
men, who have heretofore been excluded
from the brotherhood. have established their
claim to equality, which is now recognized
by the brotherhood, and they win be admit
ted as equals Deputy sheriifs are on the
ground this morning. Now that the X OF
l.. sympathy has been enlisted il is probable
that should the switchmen fail to force the
Burlington TO come 10 terms, the freight
handlers and other employees will go out
and the strike will effect not only the 90
but all roads in sympathy with it.

is no work for them while the switchmen

Last Friday he murdered his Gtiher-in-law
and consigned him 10 the river. The woman

TaTEs POLITICAL CAREER.
james William Tate was elected State
Treasurer in 1867. having been nominated
by the Democrats. He has been reelected
continuously at each election since then,
making his tenure of Office twenty years on
August last In the last Democratic cam
paign Mr.. Tate had no opposition for the
nomination as State Treasurer. Everybody
laughed at the idea Of opposing Honest
Old Dick Tate He received the Democrat
ic nomination for the tenth consecutive
time. His majorities have always stood
jolly Dick Tate has been one of the most
widely know and universally liked men in
Kentucky In addition to being State
Treasurer, he was a Commissioner of the
Sinking Fund, and was one of those in
tursted with the management of the State
Penitentiary.
FEASKFoRr, March 23.-The Judiciary
committee of the Senate and House. 10
whom was referred the matter of the defal-
cation and flight OF State Treasurer Tate, in
joint report rs the Legislature to-day, recon-
mend impeachment. The report says that
the suspension of the State Treasurer by the
Governor does not vacate the Office. and that
impeachment is the only constitutional
means by which the absconding Treasurer
may be removed and his place made va
cant.
Auditor Hewitt stated to reporter this
morning that he had worked almost three
found that the shortage would fall under
500. 900 but above $4,000 Tate's where
abouts are still unknown
The Republicans are claiming that Tate's
defalcation will enable them 10 carry the
State at the next State election. They say
Tate's shortage is but poof of the charges
made by the Republicans on the stump that
the Democratic State Government was rotten
to the core.
\ morning paper says: 4" Some startling
developments are promised when the private
papes of the Treasurer are looked into 1t
is said that these documents will show loans
to various high officials, among them being
s. 900 to an ex-Judge of the Court Appeals.
1t is said by men who are conversant with
the States affairs. that more men than one
knew OF Tates financial straits and they
were in a measure responsible in putting
him TO flight, One thing seems to be evil
dent and that is the Governor means 10 lay
open the whole thing. There were many
uneasy heads last night"

Were Unable to Agree.

CoLUMBCs, o., March 23.-The jury in the
celebrated tally sheet case came in at 1l;45
o'clock this morning The foreman an
nounced that they had failed to agree and
that there was positively no chance of agree
ment. Judge Pugh said that under such
circumstances he did not think he had a
right TO keep them out any longer, and con-
seq1ently relieved them from further delib-
erations. The vote had stood 10 to ? for
conviction since last Tuesday
The State forced the jury ~ remain out
since Monday, and because they eonld not
secure favorable verdict, aud the convic-
tion of the defendant, the contrary jurors
are being roundly abused by the press and
private individuals an the street. All sorts
of reports are being circulated against the
defendants, but il is believed the non agree
ment in tins trial will ei1ectually settle the
work, as the trial has been in progress over
two months, and has been great expense to
the county,

Is the view Of Senator Blair, of New
Hampshire, ex-Confederate soldiers who
shot down Union men in battle are to be
preferred in appointments to office to
peaceably disposed southerners who did
not shoot anybody. The object Of the
Senator is TO apply to cx-Confederates a
distinction similar to that made in favor
Of Union soldiers in appointments 20 GER
tain Offices but he makes an amusing
peryersion Of principle While it is
sound policy to gratefully remember men
who risked their lives in battle to save
the Government by giving them prefer
ence for offices which they are compelled

make such a distinction in favor Of soil

Solicitor tsenetal jerks. Senator Edmnisds,
and. in fact. every leading member Of Con
crcss who had been fortunate enough to
know him added the same.
Morrison r. Waite was a native Of Lyme,
Conn. He was born on November -, 1916
He graduated from Yale in 1887, and was 8
class-mate of William NJ. Evarts, Edwards
pierrepont, Professor Benjamin Sillman and
number of other men who have since be-
come famous. He then studied law in his
native town at hIs fathers office. In 1895 he
went West and took up his residence at To-
letlc, entering the law Office of Samuel Il.
Young at Maumee City.
For eighteen years Mr.. Waite remained in
the same office He rapidly built up a
large practice and in 1919 was elected a meIa-
Der of the Legislature. In 1862 he was
nominated for Congress as moderate Re
publican against NJ. Ashley. the radical Re-
publican nominee. Mr.. Waite carried To-
le,lo by ! .ao0 majority. but the radical cle-
ment was too strong and he was beaten in
the district Shortly after he declined a
nomination to the Supreme Court bench of
the State Of Ohio
The national prominence of Mr.. Waite be-
gan when in 1871, much 10 his own surprise
he was appointeI one of the counsel for the
United States before the Geneva Tribunal.
His work there was earnest and faithful.
The result secured gave each of the counsel a
position before the country that was envi-
able. In 1878 Mr.. Waite was elected with
out opposition member of the Ohio Con-
stitutional Convention, ana was made presi-
dent OF that body when it me, in January,
1874
At that time the position of Chief Justice
of the United States was vacant through the
had first nominated George II. Williams
and then Caleb Cashing for the place, but
the Senate had refused 10 confirm either of
them He decided, on the advice of intluen-
tial Senators, TO send in the name of Morri-
son r. Waite of Ohio. He did so, and two
days later ii was confirmed.
The news of the nomination was received
in the hall Of the Ohio Constitutional Con-
vention while Mr. Waite WAS in the chair.
1t was greeted with tremendous cheering,
aud resolution was at once offered approx
ing the action of the President The chair
declared it ont of order and other business
was proceeded with. On March 1, 1874, Mr..
Waite took the oath of office rs Chief Justice
Since that time his work has compelled the
universal Endorsement of an appointment
that, when it was made, was regarded with
surpise by everybody outside the State Of
Ohio.
