and two "procuradores, all Of whom are Sc

We1St6c'2 Weakness.

In an article on Daniel Webster in
Harper's Magazine, Carl Schurz writes:
The cause of this steady succession
OF failures Ito obtain the presidential
Nomination. may have been partly
that the people found him too unlike
hemselves-too unfamiliar to- the
popular heart-and partly that the
party managers shrunk from nominal
ing him because they saw in him not
only giant but very vulnerable
giant, who would not :".wear well' as
candidate. They had. indeed, reason
to fear the discussions to which in an
excited canvass his private character
would be subjected. OF his moral fail
1ngs those relating to money were the
most notorious and the most offensive
to the moral sense of the plain people.
In the course of his public life he be-
came accustomed not only to the adul-
tat1on, but also to the material gen
crosby of his followers. Great as his
professional income was, his prodi-
gality went far beyond his means, and
the recklessness with which he bor-
rowed and forgot to return betrayed
an utter insensibility to pecuniary OBJ
legation. With the coolest nonchalance
he spent the money of his friends and
left to them his debts for payment.
This habit increased as he grew older,
and severely tested the endurance Of
his admirers. So grave departure
from the principles as common homes
ty could not fail to cast a dark shadow
upon his character, and it is not
strange that the cloud Of distrust
should have spread from his private
to his public morals The charge was
made that he stood in the senate ad-
vocating high tariffs as the paid at
torney of the manufacturers of New
England. It was met by the answer
Snat SO great man would not sell
himself This would have been
enough. Nevertheless tho offenders
were grievously embarrassed when the
fact was pointed out that it was, after
all, in great part the money of the rich
manufacturers and bankers that stock
ed his farm, furnished his house, sup
piled his table anG paid his bills.

years. He spent much OF his time in San
Antonio and the vicinity, hoping that
the climate would stay the ravages of
the disease. A short time ago be was
stricken with paralysis and eince then
his .ndition was regarded az hopeless.
Iii generally conceded that Mr. CuI :
ey was among the abIest politicians of
the country. For twelve years he was q
member. of the Republican National Exec
utive Committee and erjoyed the conf
deuce and esteem of his cole CUES.
Clney was a native of Texas, born in
Waller county, on plantation, in lS46.
When but 10 years Of age he was sent to
Pi'tsburg, Pa, whsre be entered the
Wye street public school. He return
ed to Texas in 1867, and entered into the
politics of that troublesome era He was
cleo cd sergeant -at-arms of the Twelfth
Texes LEGISLATURE. He occupied the
position Of Secretary. of tina Republican
State Executive Committee for many
years and since 1879 represented Texas
as delegate to every National Republ
can Convention. "
In 1884 he landed The voc of the Tex
as delegation for James G. Blaine. Prior
to that time he servs d in the United
States customs service at the port of Gal.
veeton under three successive collectors.
He was chief inspector of customs IN
der Gen. ,Malley, and was afterwards
promoted to the position of special in
spector. He resigned 10 become an Aid
erman OF Galveston.
His record while member of the
City Council won for him the confidence
of the business, men and opened the
way for their cordial Endorsement OF hie
application for appointment as collector
of the port of Galveston. which was
