Tic sound money Democrats of Chi
cago are engaged in an earnest fight to
save the party in that State from the
folly of FREQ silver coinage. They have
organized and adopted resolutions do
claring, among other things, that they
would not support any candidate for
tho Presidency who was in favor of the
unrestricted coinage of silver, and that
they would vote for Republican in
preference If he were nomina. led on a
sound money platform. This Chicago
movement is expected to have power

Illinois and the adjoining States.

tive bidding last week. The highest
bid was Sl0J, "a for the per cent bonds
and s07. 70 for the SO per cent The
issue is for the purpose Of making up
balance necessary to retire tho
s542, 600 issue of 20year bonds, which
wero sold in 1876 and which boar Z
per cent interest. There is now sink
ing fund of $500, 600 in the State treas
ury to take up the old issue. and the
additional s2i2, 900 needed is provided,
for by the new issue, for which bids
were opened Monday. State Treasurer
Hardeman says he regards this as tho
very best bid for Georgia bonds ever
received, and thinks it is largely due to
the prominence of the issue given by
the recent visit Of Governor Atkinson
TO the North in tho interest OF the
State.

The defenders Of McKiney's silence

that he is but following the example of
Abraham Lincoln prior to the National
Republican Convention Of 1860 They
arc wrong. 4 short timo before that
convention was held, Mr.. Lincoln, in
q speech delivered in Cooper Institute
New York City, said:
Wrong as we think slavery is, we can
yot afford to let it alone where it il,
because that much is due TO the neces-
slty arising from its actual presence in
tho nation; but can we, while our votes

the national territories, and to overrun

sense of duty forbids this, then let us
stand by our duty, fearlessly and eiTec-
lively. Let MS be diverted by none of
those sophistical contrivances whore
with we are SO industriously piled and
ed-contriyances such as crop
ing for some middle ground between
the right and tho wrong; vain as the
search for man who should be neitheI
living man nor a dead mans such as
policy of "dun't care" On a question
about which all true men do care ;
such as Union appeals boseoching true
Union men to yield to Disunonists,
reversing the divine rule, and calling,
not the sinners, but tho righteous to
repentance; such as inyocations TO
Washington, imploring mon to unsay
what Washington said and undo what
Washington did.
The extension of slavery was then
the great issue of the hour, as tho
financial question is to-day. With

GARRET A. HOBART.

Garret Augustus Hobart was born at
Long Branch, N. j., June 5, 1914. His
father was a man of moderate means.
Garrett gained his education in the
district school, afterward attending
the classical school of William w.
woodruff, in Freehold, Monmouth
county. Subsequently he studied in
Schermerhorn's school at Matawan, n.
j., and in 1860 matriculated as a So
phomore at Rutgers college. from
which he graduated in June. 1868, with
high honors.
After teaching term of school. young
Hobart in December. 1868, removed to
Paterson and entered the law Office of
Socrates Tuttle. In this connection
Robert p. Porter. in his Life of Garret
A. Hobart. published by the N. G..
Hamilton company, Cleveland, o.. tells
the following interesting incident:
Mr.. Tuttle. like the older Hobart. was
of New Hampshire origin. He, too.
came from Cook county. Though
brought up as a blacksmith, he became
impressed with the idea that the great
| name he bore would be more harmOni-
Gus in connection with the eloquence
of the bar than with the ringing rhy-
thm of the anvil. Carrying out this
idea. Socrates Tuttle cast off his leath-
er apron, threw away his hammer and
took up the calling of schoolmaster.
The change of occupation involved Il
! change of residence, and soon We find
Mr.. Tuttle. schoolmaster, boarding at
the house of that other New llamp-
shire man, Addison w. Hobart, now
residing in New Jersey. Tuttle. how
ever, had still higher ambitions. He
was fitting himself for the legal pro-
fession and afterwards became a law
yer of eminence.
Just before the subject of this sketch
was ushered into the world. the young

| Tuttle, as he left for his new home;
''if it's a boy, mind. you must make a
lawyer of him. and he shall study law

"All right. Tuttle, that's a bargain"
was the response, and the two friends

Twenty years later, Garret A. Ho-
