A hoarse, wild cry went up tumultu-
ously. A sea Of passion-torn faces glow
cred at the onimous chronicle.
With yells shrieks and curses, the
great throng surged nearer to the iron
doors.
The man who had loosened the paving
stone uttered cry like that Of lost
soul. his voice rang far above the inco-
herent tumult. his hand, brawny with
labor, trembling with the emotion that
told him that he was beggared, swung
far above the angry heads of the throng.
He lifted the great paving stone and
shot it forward with q curse, straight at
the massive doors of the bank.
A trightful crash shook the ponderous
metal portals-a knock like that Of doom
fell on the strong bank doors.
And upon the hearts of those within.

CLARKSON HAS NO FEARS
The Chairman Of the National Republican
Committed Sees Victory in Defeat.

Gen. Clarkson's address at the Louis
vile convention was as follows:
We meet here to- day in the name of
the republicanism of Abraham Lincoln,
Ulysses S. Grant and James G. Blaine
This is the republicanism whose eternal
word is human liberty. 1t is a repub-
licanism that respects itself, loves the
republic and its fellow men, never hauls
down the American flag, reveres God,
defends the weak and despises ingratitude
cither in political parties orin nations. 1t
is afght of republicanism, and all the
world loves a man or party that believes
enough in its own cause to fight for it.
The first general convention Of republi-
cans has made the name of their party
glorious in the greatness of things done
for country and mankind. 1t is practi-
cally a new generation that musters here
to-day as the republican party of the fu-
ture. The day has come when we need
the double power of blood and youth of
the youn man at the front of the party
The democracy, made up of old men, ne
yer could defeat republicanism, but the
danger we have to face now is a demo-
cratic party made up of young men.
With the coming of the rule of the
young men let us hope that we shall have
a party of greater courage in cardinal
things and a larger tolerance in minor
things. A majority of the voters of the
United States are republicans on the real
republican issues. The many voters have
been alienated among strong clements bv
what might be called the intolerance of
morality. Let us make the platform so
broad that any man, native or foreign
born, any man Of any church, or of any
occupation, may find a place and a vel
come in our ranks. Thus we gam new
votes and new elements, and we have the
pleasure of giving welcome here to-day
for the first time to a delegation of fight
ing republicans from the Territory Of
Utah. AS we welcome them here te-day
as a territory, so do we hope to owelcome
them from state. AS we begin here
to-day the march of victory in 1896, we
have neither complaints. her apologies,
nor explanations to make for the eefeat
OF the last year. Indeed the republican
party feels better to-day over the situa-
ton than the country itself. The demo-
cratic party, that saw in the republican

GRESHAM SICK OF HIS JOB
The Secretary Of State Doesn't Like His
Position as Well as well as he Thought
he Would.

"A special from Washington to the
Minneapolis journal reads after this
manner:
If reports that are put in active CT
culation from time to time in Washing-
have any foundation in fact. Judge
Gresham, the present Secretary Of State.
is not enjoying life in attending to his
official duties. There are some incidents
which strongly Indicate that tie stories
Of trouble between the President and his
secretary Of state seem to have Il great
deal Of foundation. These stories net
only come from outsiders, but close
friends of the premier of the administra-
ton time and again drop hints which
lead Knowing ones to believe that the
judge has been very many times sorry
that he resigned his life position on the
bench to become a cabinet minister un-
T"r Grover Cleveland.
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1893-05-17

LII has Deen tnOuSnC 1Of a long tlme,
even previous to the inauguration of
cleveland, that he had promised Judge
Gresham to appoint him to position on
the Supreme bench should vacany oc-
cur during his present administrati on.
With this inducementi in his mind, ,Gresh-
am was prevailed upon to become men,
Der of Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet, Now the
Judge has grave fears that Mr. Cleveland
will either not be able to carry out this
promise or will show no disposition to
do so if an opportunity is given him.
This is one reason why the Indiana jurist
is on the anxious seat.
Mr.. Cleveland has not only made him
act in the capacity OF merely private
secretary to the President, but it is also
understood that he has grown very chill
ly in his demcanor towards the man he
has placed at the head of the state de-
partment. 1t is stated that Judge
Gresham has recently said to intimate
friends that the mistake of his life was
in having resigned life position to ac-
cept one of turmoil and uncertainty. He
has little to hope for in the future, pro-
vided Mr.. Cleveland does not keep his
promise to appoint him to the supreme
bench and death must intervene in order
to give Mr.. Cleveland this opportunity.
While some of the justices on the su-
preme bench are aged, they are robust
lot of men and grim death is in no man.
ner of means stamped upon any of their
countenances.T They are liable to live long
enough, at any rate, to prevent Judge
Gresham's ambition being fulfilled.
Then, again, should President Cleveland
have an opportunity to carry out his
promise to his secretary of state, the lat
ter has fears that, owing to the political
| flop he has made and his lack of stand
ing with both Republicans and Demo-
cratic senators, he might fail of confirm
alton, should the President send his
name to the senate for one of these high
judicial positions. The best that Judge
Gresham can DO now, of course, is to
await his fate.
There is one ray yof hope for him should
his lucky star be in the ascendant Dur
ing the next four years he may be made
the presidential standard bearer of some
of the parties now in existence, or Of
some party that may be organized be-
tween now and 1896, and, should he not
lose strength during this period, he might
he elected to the presidency, and, in that
event, he would probably be we'll salts
fed that he had become a member of
Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet. This will not
occur, however, if President Cleveland
can prevent 1t. There are some who are
mean enough to say that President Clevc-
land got Gresham into his cabinet to
shelve him politically. The idea of GER
tain politicians is that he appointed
Gresham to this place with the intention
Of checking his popularity. He believed
that if he could get him into his cabinet
he could place enough stumbling blocks
in his way by belittling him in certain
directions so that no party in existence
would turn to him as leader.
