Calvin S. Brice, nominated for the Unitel
States senatorship from Ohio by the Demo-
crats, was named for the place in 1855, his
closest ndherents then insisting that nothing
was too high for the abilities Of Cal Bree.
He was chairman Of the Democratic national
campaign committee in the last Cleveland
canvass. His name WIS new in national pol
itics, although he had been figure in the St.
Louis convention which renoninated CIeye-
land.
Mr.. Brice was student and d soldier dur
ing the war, and has always kept close eye
on practical politics. He attended every
convention and was u worker, but he refused
all nominations for office. After graduating
in law he became a rniroad attorney, still
paying attention to politics. In 1880 he
stumped for Hancock. His first important

The baby king has been surrounded with
grown people principally, as Spanish royal
dignity would not permit of playuates for
his majesty Of inferior rank The regent
has lived i'll the same apartments she occu
pied with her husband, Alfonso MI, sur
rounded with all the grandeur OF royal ap-
pontments, relics OF the houses of Bourbon
and of Austria as they were united by the
union Of the Spanisl. monarch aud Christina,
an Austrian archduchess. From the balcony
of the palace the baby king received the
homuge OF the soldery who parade upon the
Plaza do Armeria. According to traditional
custom, the heir to the Spanish throne is q
sergeant in the kings regiment of Guards.
Bpt, as Alfonso XIII, the infant also became
captain general Of the army and commander
in-chief of all the forces The chief events
affecting the peace Of Spain md the welfare
Of the young monarch during his short reign
were the revolutionary uprising Of Norenl-
Der, 1885, and dynamite plot in January
following. Tho uprising in November was
aimed ut Senor CAnovas del Castillo, prom
inent conservative politician, who was
leader i'll the movement to restore tho Bour-
bon rule in Spain by bringing Alfonso XII
to the throne.
Senor Canovas' carriage was attacked by n
street mob, and the occupants, Scnor and
darmcs. The dynamite plot of Jan. $ con-
sisted of the explosion OF bomb within the
royal palace near the apartments Of the
youthful monarch. Great devastation OF the
walls resulted, but the royal family expert
enced no harm beyond n terrible fright. The
bomb was doubtless exploded by Anarchists
with :he intent TO murder the royal family.
The death OF Alfonso XIII will place upon
the throne his sister, Maria de las Mercedes,

his life there is material FOR many valuable
lessons and vast inspiration for NIL young

Roman order; his errors-like other men, he
had faults-never grew out of want of
truth or PATRIOTISM and it may most truth
fully be said that
