Death of Secretary Gresham,

Walter Q, Gresham, secretary of state,
died soon after l o'clock Tuesday morning
He had been suffering from exhaustion,
due to protracted overwork, when, about
May 1, acute-pleurisy appeared Two days
before his death pneumonia developed.
While his critical illness was well known,
the country was not prepared for the sud-
den announcement of his death. Mr..
Gresham was native of Indiana and was
born in 1882. He studied law and was in
the enjoyment of lucrative practice when
the war broke out, and he entered the
Union army, where he had brilliant and
useful career, being breveted major-general
at the close of the war. In 1860 President
Grant made him United States Judge in
Indiana. President Arthur made him
postmaster-general in 1882, and he sue
ceeded Secretary Folger in the treasury
department in 1884. In October of that
year he was appointed United States Judge
for the seventh judicial circuit President
Cleveland made him secretary of state

Presidential Gossip.

Senator Carter of Montana, the chair.
man of the national Republican commit
tee, is an outspoken free-siver man and
declares that the western sentiment on the
silver question must be recognized in the
next national platform. Fifty-nine cleo
toral votes, he says, will hang in the scale
on the silver question. But the events of
the next twelve months are likely to mod
ify Mr. Carter's views.
Some of Gen. Harrisons friends are try
ing to give the old ticket, Harrison and
Norton" boom, in the hope of securing
the vote of the New York delegation for
the eX-president. Neither Gov. Morton
nor his friends will consider anything but
the first place for him, however. 1t is
said, by the way, that Benjamin Harrison
and Cornelius n. Bliss is the ticket that
the antiPlatt Republicans in New York
would like to see nominated.
Speaker Crisp has recently announced
that the next candidate for the presidency
on the Democratic ticket will be a western
man, prominent soldier, and a man in
favor of the free and unlimited coinage of
silver. This is said to mean Gen. John
NJ. Schofield on free-silver platform, but
the general denies having any knowledge
of this movement.

Our modest little earthquake on Tuesday
Of the cause of earthquakes, as given by
Prince Krapotkin in the nineteenth Cen
tury. Originally the theory was that
earthquakes and volcanoes were Of a COM
mon origin, as when water percolating the
rocks or running down their fissurs reached
depths where all substances are molten and
steam accumulated in enormous masses
under inconceivable pressure which finally
found vent through volcanic openings, or
rent new fssurs through the earths crust
1t was this kind of combined volcanic
eruption and earthquake which produced
the gigantic convulsion on KrakatOa in
1883, recently described in The Phoenix.
The later researches of scientists attri-
butte "local disturbances of the rocky
strata however, to earthquakes like that
which was so destructive in Charlestown
harbor in 1SS6, and the slighter disturb
ances like that we experienced Tuesday
everywhere there are softer strata, which
are disintegrated by water between the
rocky layers above and beneath them
One day or other they must yield and when
they do yield their subsidence or the glid-
ing Of the upper strata upon a softened in
termedate layer must result in an earth
quake" 1t is all a part of the shrinking
and wrinkling of the earth's crust, always
in progress, just as the skin of an apple
wrinkles as the moisture slowly evaporates

One hundred and fifteen Democratic ed
itors from all parts OF New York state
were entertained in the city last week, a
fund contributed by Democratic capitalists
paying the bills. The real purpose of the
various attentions shown them was to give
opportunity to discuss Democratic policies
and outline a plan for next years cam
paign. The Democratic outlook in the
state is about as gloomy as it can be, but
the serious shortcomings of the Republi-
can Legislature, the differences between the
Platt and anti-Platt men, the disap-
pointments caused by Mayor Strong's ad-
ministration of city affairs, and certain as
poets of national politics have put some
grains of hope into Democratic hearts, and
the leaders are trying to conserve them for
future use.

Late news from New York interest
ing if true'-is that Tammany hall is be
reorganized by committee of one hun
dred, and it will not be committee of 100
Tammanyites, either. The plan is to have
the executive committee invite 100 men,
who will give the organization a new char
acter, to step in and take command. "The
Tammany of 1894, the discredited organi-
zation which went down before the COM

Ohio Republicans.

The Ohio Republicans held their state
convention on Tuesday, when they nomi-
mated Gen. Asa S. Bushnell, a prominent
manufacturer and war veteran, for gov
ernor. The platform reaffirms adherence
to protective tariff, commends reciproc-
ity and fair elections, and defends honest
money, consisting of gold, silver and pa
per, every dollar as good as any other dol
lar, and all backed by the national faith
and honor. Mckinley is endorsed for
president and Foraker for United States
senator. Senator John Sherman was given
an ovation when he appeared as temporary
chairman, and delivered a sound money
speech, which was the impressive feature
of the occasion,
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1895-05-31

in 1893, as a recognition of that element in
our politics which had aided in Democratic
success. Mr. Gresham was before the Re-
publican national convention of 1855 as a
candidate for nomination for the presi-
dency. He left the Republican party prior
to the campaign of 1892 because he did not
agree with the position it took in reference
to the tariff and doubtless influenced
somewhat by disappointed political ambi-
tions.

House Wednesday and the body was taken

The constitution which the people OF
Utah have just adopted contains several
features which invest the document with
peculiar interest. Among other things it
gives women the right to vote and to hold
office. This is intended to be an addition

polygamy, which the instrument prohibits,
and which it was necessary to prohibit be-
fore Utah could be admitted to the Union.
1t also purposes to introduce an eight-men

a "sound money convention Of the
southern states was held at Memphis,
Tenn, last week, when Secretary Carlisle
made strong speech against free silver
coinage. The state of feeling in that sec
tion is shown by the fact that a New Or
leans despatch mentions the hanging of the
secretary in efiigy on account OF that
speech, while the bi-metallic league of
Tennessee issues an address to the people
denOuncing the promoters of the sound

Hugh McCulloch, ex-secretary of the
treasury, died at his home in Washington
last Friday, aged 81 years. He was ma
tive of Maine, and began life as lawyer,
but became banker. President Lincoln
made him secretary of the treasury in
March, 1865, at one of the most critical
periods in the financial history of the gov
eminent, and he continued to hold the Of
flee through the johnson administration.
In 1884, after Judge Gresham's retirement,
he was again called to the treasury port

stand out as a stanch figure in the coun-
try's history when strong men were needed.

just died in Chicago at the age of &C, was

female surgeon in the world. She was
born on a farm in Washington county,

the West Poultney academy. She began
the practice of surgery in Chicago in 1868,

than unusual, the various schools through

passed by the last legislature, entering
heartily and interestedly into the exercises,
and devoting Wednesday afternoon to pat

flag and country into the hearts of the
young by exercises of this kind is wise and
fitting Thursdays exercises were largely
attended and of much interest, as will be
seen by the detailed account given below.
The ranks of the veterans were noticeably
thin, which was due in part, no doubt, to
