Adlai Ewing Stevenson will take the gavel
as vice-President Of the United States at g
o'clock on March 4. Probably no Democratic
Vice President ever entered upon ofIl CO who
more thoroughly represents Democratic prin-
ciples and who has more endeared him self to
his party. His record as q Democrat is un-
excelled. He believes In the principles OF
jefferson and the methods OF jackson. He has
proved his devotion to the former by his
speeches In tho South and West. and his fealty
to the latter by his action while Assistant Post
master-GeneraL During the four years OF his
incumbency he removed over $4,000 Repub-
lcau fourth-cnss Fostmasters and put ster-
ling Democrats In their places.

4 he will face Senators who refused to confirm
his appointment by President Cleveland to the
bench OF the Supreme Court OF the District Of
Columbia 1t may awaken peculiar emotions
In the hearts OF these Senators to think that II
they had confirmed Mr.. Stevenson's appoint
ment he never would have been elected Vice.
President OF tho United States. However much
Mr.. Stevenson may have felt acgrieved at his
rejection at tho time he can now view It with
phlosophic complacency.
Mr.. Stevenson will mako an excellent pre-
siding ofIlcer. He is calm. judicial. and digni-
fed. His friends say that 1t will be impossible
for him to give offence to any Senator The
rights Of all will be scrupulously observed.
While strict party man in every sense OF the
word he is incapable OF being personally un-
kind to any one. A personal friend Of Mr..
Cleveland. and q valuable officer in his former
administration. he will undoubtedly be con-
suited in all matters OF Importance. Tho
Democratic Senators will be In touch with
him. and he will be In touch with
tho Administration. More than this. he will
relieve tho office OF Vice-President from the
innocuous desuetude to which by common
consent it seems to have been heretofore con-
But this Is not all. Vice. President Morton
has been prominent figure socially In WASH
ington for the last four years. 1t will be diff
cult to III! his place In the social world. No
Vice-President has ever given more charming
entertainments. and none has ever surpassed
him and his accomplished wife In, graceful
OF Mr.. Morton. Vice President Stevenson pos
sesses all his charm OF manner and agreeable
ness. Mrs. Stevenson is OF the highest type Of
American wonanhood. She entertained his
friends while her husband was Assistant Post
master General In a modest but very charm
ing manner. Her three daughters were then
at school. but two OF them have already
made their debut In society. and will be
OF great assistance to their mother in
the four years to come. There Is ono son in
the family; Young man who parthkes Of the
first vote at the last election. and took an
lied Young Mems Democratic Club In Bioom-
ington. consisting OF first voters. and number
ing 800 m embers.
Those who knew the Stevenson family four
years ago anticipate their return to Washing
ton with great pleasure. Social as we'll as 20.
ltical life will be stimulated by their presence.
For those who know say that Adlai himself
with all his charm Of manner. Is not as charm.
ing as his family. AMOS ]. CUMMINGS.
