gard to the important questions before

The vice presidential nominee Is a man
very nearly twice as old as the head OF

looks. He is splendid example OF
physical manhood, carries himself with
a soldierly bearing, and is what might
be termed fine looking man. His hair
and moustache are slightly tinged with
grey, but the wrinkles OF age have
scarcely made their appearance on his
face. He was born at Bath. Me-, Nov.

Jones Succeeds Harrity.
Senator James *. Jones was elected
chairman of the Democratic national
committee Saturday night. The new
chairman was called in, and said he ac-
cepted the position because OF the in

members from the gold states did not
generally attend the meeting. Senator
Jones was directed TO select an executive

he should /. chairman. He was also
