lied as a demigod. Before his death be had
been made a mandarin Of the highest but
ton, received the supreme honor of the Vel
low jacket and been appointed practically
the generalissimo Of the Chinese forces
After his death Colonel Forester succeeded
to the Subordinate command of the ever
victorious army but soon resigned, and
subsequently Colonel Gordon found his
stepping stone TO greatness by taking the
leadership and putting the capsheaf on
Ward s nearly finished work.
Ward was believed in China to have ac-
oumulated a great fortune His accounts
were all in the hands of a well known Chi
nese banker. Whe the family Of the
American. some OF whom are living now,
applied for a settlement the heather Chi
nee" blandly denied knowing anything
about IT,, and not a tael was ever recovered
from Celestial clutches. The story Of the
Yankee sailor Ward, though but little
known 10 his eountrymen, Is one Of the ro-
mances Of the nineteenth century. Had it
not been for our own war, which was raging
~ the time, absorbing public,attention. his
wonderful career would have been far more
widely talked about. The English have
since claimed that had Ward lived 70 have
finally achieved his plans he would have
proved a worse menace to China than the
Tai-Pings themselves. But this is mere
International jealousy.
Colonel Forester was wont 20 speak Of
his old time chief of those romantic DAYS
ia terms Of enthusiastic praise. and in the
company of his ntimates he was full q tue
most interesting anecdotes concerning his
adventures by field and food, when the
destinies Of a great empire We're hanging in
the balance, and one heroic American was
the weight that tipped The scale.

THE DEMOCRATIC SITUATION.

Secretary william c. Whitney
sailed yesterday on the Majestic and Is
now on his way home.
or course Mr.. Whitneys return will
give rise to many rumors, and his name
will be at once associated by the gos-
sips with the Democratic nomination
for Governor. There are many reasons
why the ex-Sccretary would make an
acceptable candidate. But there Is no
reason whatever to believe that he has
changed his mind as TO remaining en-
tirely out OF political life, for the pres
ent at least. and there are many rea-
sons why he should decline to re-enter
the field just now. His presence and
counsel will, however. be valuable to
his party in the campaign. and every
Democrat will be pleased at his return.
The gratifying feature about the stu
atioL is, that while the Republican
Convention was a mere farce. the mem
bcrs of which were under orders to
indorse what their boss had already
done in their name, the Democrats 20

best for the people and best for their

lican delegates were Platts chattels.

The party has such excellent material
to select from that 1t cannot go wrong
in making its nominations. provided II
desires good government and looks to
the honor and prosperity OF the State
rather than to political and partisan
advantages. Its candidates will at least
be the free choice OF a party and not
tho creatures OF boss.
