THE NICE-PRESIDENCf.
Mr.. Hobart viii Fill the Office Ac-
ccptably and with Honor.

From the Times-Herald.
Much is said about the coming in
auguration of President McKi inley, but
very little about the Inauguration of his
associate on the presidential ticket,
Garret y. Hobart. That is the luck of
vice presidents. 1t takes a man of real
force and ability to maintain himself
in the vice presidency. and q man of
Mr., Hobarts modesty is very apt to be
lost in the shuttle even before the deal
begins.
Garret A. Hobart will be the twenty
fourth vice president of the United
States. The list of his predecessors EN-
braces more men of distinction than
the man who does not carry his Amer
lean history in his head is apt to think.
John Adams. Thomas jefferson, Aaron
Burr, John c. Calhoun, Martin Van
Buren,, John c. Breckinridge, Chester A.
Arthur and Levi p. Morton We're among
the best. Eight, or one-third of the
whole number hailed from New York.
Massachusetts has contributed three
Adams, Gerry and Wilson; Virginia two
jefferson and Tyler; Kentucky two
Johnson and BTeCkinridge Indiana two
and South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Ala
bama, Maine, Tennessee and Illinois one
each The New Workers besides Burr
Van Buren, Arthur and Morton were
Clinton, Fillmore, Tompllins and Wheel
er There have been siXty-three presi-
dents pro tempore of the senate, and it
is u remarkable fact that the grade of
men who have filled this position in the
last quarter of a century is even higher
than it was in the earlier years of the
republic Wade, Carpenter, Thurman,
Bayard. Davis, Edmunds, Sherman and
ingalls, take rank in ability higher than
almost any of their predecessors.
Mr.. Hobart bids fair to be a success
full vice president He starts with the
advantage of the personal friendship
and esteem not only of the head of the
administration, but of large number
of the distinguished men over whom he
is called to preside. He is man of fine
presence even temper and decision of
character. He is identified with no fac
tionS and is too sensible to tempt fate
by undue steps to secure his own ad-
Vancement. New Jersey no doubt will
have every reason to, rejoice in his Of
fetal career.

His zeal for the eisteddfod and all
Welsh institutions was unbounded, and
only few months ago, when the Cor
sedd was so fiercely attacked by Pro-
fessor Morris Jones, the aged bard
though in his 94th year, rushed to the
fray in defence of his beloved institu-
ton, and declared his intention of
writing a book which would dumbfound
the critics. Possibly had he lived Il
little longer he would have carried out
that intention. To know Gwalchmai
was TO esteem and revere him, and his
death is sincerely mourned.
The funeral of the late Welsh bard
Gwalchmai took place Thursday at
Llandudno. The following letter Of

Prince of Wales: Marlborough house
