Hon simon Cameron.

The death Of Hon. Simon Cameron
which occurred at Lancaster, Pa, on
the 18th ultimo, removes another old
landmark connected with the admin
istration Of Lincoln, and a CONSPICUOUS
figure In the political history of our
country. The Cameron family has
been prominently connected with the
politics Of Pennsylvania for many
years. Simon Cameron was born in
Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, on
the 8th day Of March, 1888. In his
early life he became a printer, and. in
1920 he was editor Of a newspaper at
Doylestown. Afterwards he became
President of bank, and subsequent
" President Of two railroads. In
1915 he was elected to the United
States Senate to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation Of MIR. Blu
chanan, which place he held until
1849, the close of the term. MIR. Cam
eron was a democrat up to the year
1854, at which time he united him
self with the republican party. In
1857 he was again elected to the
United States Senate and took his
seat this time as a republican. Atthe
National Republican Convention held
in Chicago, in 1850, he was proposed
as a candidate for President of the
United States on the republican ticket
and received SO votes on the first bal
! lot, his name was then withdrawn and
his friends voted solidly for Abraham
/ Lincoln. On LincOln's inauguration
! In 1851. he entered the Cabinet as
Secretary Of War, which place he
held until June, 1862, when he re
signed for the purpose of accepting
the appointment Of Minister to Russia.
In 1866 he was again elected to the
United States Senate, and in 1872
was chosen Chairman Of the Commit
tee on Foreign Relations, in place OF
| Mr.. Sumner. In 1873 he was re-
elected, but resigned in 1877 and was
succeeded by his son, Donald j. Cam
erOn.
Mr.. Cameron was a man of large
experience and strong force of char
aoter. He lived to the ripe old age Of
ninety years, three months and eigh
teen days, when he passed TRANQUILITY
away in the same county where he
first saw the light

Our daily papers of last tuesday
announced the appointment OF an
other batch of registers and receivers
of land offices seven in all. Again
Kansas only captured one IN the
shuttle, that Of receiver of the Office at
Great Bend. Bacon still holds forth
in the Oberlin land Office, and this in
the face of the strongest demands
possible for his removal. As we IN
derstand the situation in this case,
Congressman Turner and Senator
Plumb arc kicking vigorously for his
removal, but each have man named
to succeed him and are not disposed
to unite on either one or the other.
Senator ingalls, is equally as strong
in his demands for BacOn's retention
in Office as the two former are for
his removal. Thus the matter stands
Ingalls, for Bacon, Plumb for one
man and Turner for another, with no
prospect of Il compromise. We can
not censure either Turner or Plumb
for asking the appointment Of their
favOrite, yet we believe they could
serve their constituents better and give
greater satisfaction by uniting on one
or the other and thus secure the re-
mOvRl OF the present incompetent.
But if we understand the position of
Senator Ingalls, correctly his actions
cannot meet with criticism too severe,
and he should be remembered by
every republican in the district in the
sweet, sweet hereafter. HerndOn
COWrGnt.
The above item from the Herndon
COurGnt is without any foundation in
fact, at least so far as Senator Ingalls,
is concerned. Those who are person
ally acquainted with the Senator will
smile when they read the above as
founding statement, for of all the
traits in his character, sympathy for
democratic Office holders is the least
developed; in fact the honorable gen
tleman is not built in that way. Mr..
Ingalls, is fully persuaded that when
political party is responsible for the
running of great government, il
should have agents to perform the
functions of that government who are
in full sympathy with the policy Of
that party, even down to the smallest
VEINS and arteries of the civil service
Indeed we have positive knowledge
of the falsity of that part of the above
article relating to our senior senator
and we are confident that if he had
his way about the matter, the sDac,
of duration would be indeed brief
until a republican occupied every fed
eral Office In the State of Kansas.

out Of 1852 engaged. The 14Ist Penn

The Doings OF a Frisky Editor.

The Dolngs oG q EEiEEy Editor.
The Logan Freeman last week
reared upon its hind legs and emitted
a dismal howl, in comparison with
which the last dying vail Of the coy
ote Is but gentle murmur, and all
on account Of the appointment Of DR..
II. Wallace upon the Board of Pen
sion examiners. It uses the tender
epithets, "dog." and 'Iiar," as glibly
as a school girl trips over superlatlve
adiectives. Mr. Boyd still claims
that there was a meeting Of old sol
diers held IN Logan, and at that meet
ing they denounced the appointment
and the way It was made. Now we
took occasion to interview some old
soldiers who are members Of the Lo-
gan Post, q. A. r., and they knew
nothing of such a meeting, and did
not believe that such q meeting had
ever been held. Besides, Boyd ad-
mits as true, the HERALD's statement,
that DR.. Wallace is a member Of the
g. A. R. in good standing, while he
Boyd is not. That being the case,
how does Mr.. Boyd know so much
about the inner workings of the G.. A.
r. if he is not a member Of it in good
standing? The whole thing sizes up
about like this: IF there was a meet
ing of any soldiers at Logan at all, it
was probably a meeting composed of
Boyd and some of his soups held,
perchance, in the back room of his
Office, or in some other secluded spot,
where, at a lonely midnight hour
with no ear to hear, save the moist
ened and gurglIng bung-hole Of some
partially defunot beer-keg, they might
have proceeded to ''resoloot." It is
quite evident that the frlsky editor
Of the Freeman is striving to ingra-
tiate himself into the good graces OF
a certain democratic faction at Logan,
which, last fall, failed to recognize
Boyd's stupendous ability as states
man, when he again endeavored to in
flct himself upon the people Of this
county as their representative. Ru-
NOR has it that the friskY editor is
still willing to be offered up. Yea
he remembereth that November'l
elections draweth nigh, and he snuff
feth the oats from afar. It Is certain
| ly very naughty of the Pension De
partment not to have consulted Mr.
Boyd before taking such an import
ant step, and it probably never viii
be forgiven by him for such a rasl
act But Boyd is mistaken about tn,
old soldiers not being satisfied, TO
when it comes to having their wounds
caused by rebel bullets, examined
they do not desire to have it done b.
men who fired those bullets, or b,
men who sympathized with thos
who shot.

terested as can be gathered for a gen
eral consultation as to the conditions
favorable and unfavOrable for farm
ing, the particular crops most prOfita-
BILE and other matters Of interest con-
nected with agriculture.
We want to hear from the farmers
themselves, what they are doing, and
from others who are lockers on as to
the general prospects. We shall have,
of course, something to say. ourselves,
but do not want it understood that we
have come to do all the talking, but

feasible, calling a meeting for that
evening, asking some of the best in
formed among you to be prepared tC
give their views upon the subjects
under consideration. If you cannot

Yours truly.

Governor Foraker Renominated

The republicans of Ohio have again
nominated Governor Foraker. for a
a third term. The nomination w,s
made on the second ballot. This
means a strong and vigorous cam
paign in the Buckeye state. Gov
FOraker's administrations have been
both characterized as economical
brilliant and aggressive. His sturdy
and prompt resistance to President
ClevelRnd's order to return the rebel
flags, has made him famous tbrou0b-
out the whole country. The Conven-
ton adopted a strong platform in
which they Endorsed the administra-
ton OF President Harrison, also the
two administrations Of Gov. Foraker
and highly complimented Senator
Sherman. The republican doctrine
of protection to American industries
was strenuously approved.
