OBITUARY.
James Stephen Gale.

Not long ago "a more robust APP
peariug mar did not. walk our streets
than him whose death we are now
called TO chronicle.
An insidious disease which gave
him no especial pain and hence no
warning of his condition, was, how
ever silently at work undermining
his strength and health, and unsus-
pected by either himself or his
friends the hour which no man
knoweth was rapidly and unsuspic-
iously approaching.
During the winter he occasionally
had periods of debility incapacitat-
ing him briefly from his duties but
about "A month ago the change be-
came suddenly marked and he was
confined to his room from which he
never emerged, and peacefully pass
ed away Tuesday morning April

Mr. Gale was son of James and
Jane (Angier) Gale and was born in
NY. Apr. - 1850 and resided in
that city until 1869 when he came
to live on Il farm in Dingman town

He was elected County Cominiss-
iOner in 1894 and served two terms.
In 1891 he was appointed Commiss-
toner's Clerk which position he held
until Nov. 1898 when he was made
postmaster at Milford by President

by uprightness and fairness and a
conscientious effort to do his duty
honestly and faithfully. AS post

friends. He was member of Van

Aside from the question of legal
authority, the attempt by the Cover

by an appointment must be regard
ed as a grave political mistake. As
Mr.. Quay said, in his letter to Sena-
tor Grady respecting q conference,
the State has not perceptibly suffer-

isted since March 18th. AS no extra
session of Congress is probable, the
State would not suffer if the vacan-
cy continued until the first Monday
of December. Meantime an oppor.
tuity would be given for the subsi.
dence of factional strife the local
interests of the party in the several
counties would assert themselves;
and the canvass for county Offices,
which cannot directly affect the Sen
atorial question, and which in many
counties are of high importance,
would be left comparatively free
from the rivalries and animOsities
which have grown out of the Sena-
torial. contest: and before election
day party harmony would be in q,
| large measure restored. But the ap
pointment at this time will contri.
butte to keep alive the spirit of fac
ton, inflame mutual resentments,
and in many instances make the
success of the local ticket difficult OF
hopeless. The course on which the
Governor has thus entered has little
promise of anything but evil. And
the greatest service which Mr. Quay
can now do both himself and the
party is to decline the appoint.
