We give below the form of call for
Judge Clementson to be a candidate
for reelection, which has been signed
by over two thousand of the voters of
this circuit:
To the Hon. Geo. Clementson:

ing that the Office of Circuit Judge

ing observed with pleasure the faithful
and impartial manner in which you
have discharged the duties of your
office, unite, regardless of party affili-
ations, in requesting you to become a
candidate for reelection to the office
of Circuit Judge.

cal parties, resident in this Judicial
Circuit, who have requested me to

sible duties of Circuit Judge.

The Case Fairly Stated.


Cleveland's message came at very
time. Farmers and laporers
have more time to read and discuss
political matters in winter than in the
summer just before the election. 1t is
pleasing to note that the tariff question
is receiving a great amount of at
tention. The farmers Institutes in
Iowa and Illinois are discussing the
question at their meetings and the
thinking farmers who attend them
are almost all of them in favor of re-
ducing the tariff upon the necessaries
of life. In Wisconsin the Institutes
are controlled by the party in power
and the managers exclude everything
in their meetings that hints at tariff
reform.

citizens to assume that they are not
able to determine for themselves
whether their tariff taxes are too high
or not; but must simply take the side
of commercial restriction because Eng
land takes the side of commercial free
dom. Voters who are not blinded by
party idolatry will hardly be content
to shout nay when John Bull cries aye,
and aye when he cries nay. If Amer
leans are not more intelligent than
that there need be no fear of the tide
of foreign immigration ever becoming

4 HERO CROSSES OVER.


The gallant Gen, Phil I'll. Sheridan
has gone where the s'surges cease TO
roll and the din and clamor of war is
heard no more" OF all the names
that glitter in the galaxy cf fame or
sparkle on the pages of American his
tury, none show with purer lustre,
none arel. IS tarnisned with guile than
Phil n. Sheridan. Warm and gener-
Gus to his friends, magnanilnous to his
foes, his spotless character commanded
the respect Of all, and his unselfsh and
heroic life elected the plaudits of the
world None who met him once in
the shock of battle ever cared to meet
him again, and those who followed his
leadership had. the very prestige of
victory. The writer met this brave
and gallant officer of the Union forces
more than once and knows whereof he
speaks.
Twice the Union armies were beaten
IN the valley of Virginia, and from the
confusion of defeat this brave leader,
by his own heroic and dauntless ex-
ample, reorganized the scattered ranks
and turned defeat into victory. Sheri-
dams ride from Winchester-over
twenty miles in one hour aud twenty
eight minutes-his wheeling the
broken columns of his retreating
army, Wrestling from defeat the palms
OF victory, was the most eventful and
heroic act of generalship during the
late war.
As a aman he was quiet, calm and
dignified, but when aroused was like
the storm in its fury-dauntless and
Irresistible.
bright names are on the roll OF fame;
Like stars they shine on high
HIS may be hid by brighter flame,
But viii never never die
The doctors say the immediate cause
of death was heart failure. The re-
mote cause was disease of the mitral
and aeortic valves. The complications
which have occurred have been ner-
vous exhaustion, pulmonary oegeria,
anassea and hemorrhages. The day Of
his death, August eth, he was restless,
but not more so thar he has been sey-
eral times since his arrival at Nonquitt.
At about $50 P. NJ. symptoms of heart
failure suddenly appeared. Remedies
which had hitherto been successful
were vigorously applied, but proved
Intellectual and he sank rapidly, dying
painlessly at 10 O'Clock.
Philip Henry Sheridan was born in
Somerset, Perry county, Ohio; gradu-
ated from The Z. 5. Military Academy
and was assigned to the First Infantry
As Brevet Second Lieutenant, July /,
1853,
During his late sickness he was made
General of the Army, being the third
person to hold this important position.
Gen. Sheridan was a strict member
of the Catholic church and lived and
died in the Christian faith. Peace to
tie ashes, honor to the memory, !" and
glory to the chivalry and patriotism of
Philip II. Sheridan, who left in life no
blot on his name, but looked proudly
to heaven as the home Of the soul.
As one whe was on the wrong side,
But thought then that he was right.
We would drop q tear on his bier,
Aud fain would bring wreath for that name
That shines on the tablets Of glory,

SUNSET on THE SEA.


These purple sunsets on the noun
tains of Oregon remind me of sunset
once saw upon the sea. OF course
the sun sets every evening upon the
sea as well as upon the land; but you
may be weeks or months at sea before
you find all the different circumstances
combined that are necessary for the
best effect. On the evening / refer to
the CLASSY surface of the sea was
broken only by the gentlest ripple.
The sun had just gone down. The
clouds, from the western horizon al
most TO the zenith, were piled up like
hills of glory, flashing with crimson
and amber and purple and gold. And
now those glowing colors of the clouds
were reflected on the sea, but with a
new, wonderful effect. What seemed
solid in the sky became changeful on
the sea. The erins IN and amber aad
gold broke and mingled and cleaned
and flashed on the molten, rippled
sca, until we seemed to have before
orr eyes the very ''sea of glass min
gled with fire." which st. John saw in
apocalyptic vision. o, surely God has
flsshed such beauty on earth and sky
and sea, to give us hint of the sur
passing glory of the beautiful better
land.-Rev. Joseph Hamilton.
