Secretary of State in President cleve-
lands Cabinet.

Judge Walter @, Gresham, of Hi
nois, now occupies the third highest
position, as an officer Of the Govern
ment, Secretary of State in Cleyeland's
cabinet, and in the event of the death
of the President and Vice-President
would become President of the nation.
He left the Republican party on ac-
count of its ultra position on protec-
ton, and came out squarely for Cleve-
land before the last election
Judge Gresham was born in lndi-
ana in 1888. He attended Blooming
ton University and subsequently read
law at Corydon, in the Office of Judge
Porter, being admitted to the bar in
1858.
His professional career was highly
successful and in 1860 he was elected
to the State Legislature. lie took
prominent part in the Civil War and
was rather seriously wounded at At
lanta.
In 1879, Mr.. Gresham was the un-
successful Republican candidate for
Congress, and in 1881 was a candidate
to the U. S. Senate, but was again de-
feated. In 1882 he was appointed
Postmaster q eneral under President
Arthur, and on the death of Secretary
Folger was transferred to the latter's
chair. In 1884 he was appointed U.
S. Judge for the 9TH Judicial Circuit.
Judge Gresham was lndiana's can
didate for the Presidency last year,
before the actual nomination in Chica-
go. lie has always been rather inde-
pendent in politics.

IMMIGRATION.
a. m. to-day

A subject about which The people,
not alone of Texarkana, but of Miller
and Bowie counties as well, should
manifest deep aud abiding interest,
is that of securing as tillers of our
idle soil, fair share of the immense
tide of excellent immigration, which
will ere long set in from the older
States, which, unless an intelligent
and earnest effort is made to check
and retain it, will pass right through
our midst in its natural and accus-
toned course toward the far and
tabled West.
The DEMOCRAT has already devot-
ed much space to this important sub
ject, publishing letters from these peo-
pie back in the old States to their
friends in this community, and in
every possible manner striving to
arouse public interest in this weighty
subject Once the people are aroused
to a full sense of the benefits to be
derived to our country from the pres
ence Of these people as citizens, we
are confident that they will lose no
time in arranging to put forth the
necessary efforts to secure same. We
believe a meeting for this purpose,
which only embraced, however, one
side of the city, was called recently
by Messrs. Hairston, Estes and others,
but owing to insufficient notice Of
time and place, failed to accomplish
its purpose. Now we would suggest
that a meeting for the citizens of the
entire city and the adjoining country
as well, be called by number of our
most prominent property holders and
business men, TO take place at Texar-
kama within reasonable time, when
the ways and means for accomplish
ing this most excellent and desirable
purpose may be fully adopted
