EDMUND ROSS.

He had shown no indication of aspir-
ing to national leadership. He was
popular in the senate. His future was
full of promise When the congress
sional leaders at length determined
upon Impeachment as means for de-
posing President Johnson they never
doubted that they could rely on the
Kansas senator to the utmost 1t was
well understood that several Republi-
can senators were not kindly disposed
toward such an extreme measure as
impeachment, and toward the end of
the trial Senators Fessenden, Fowler,
Grimes, Henderson, Trumbull and Van
Wrinkle announced their opposition to
conviction upon any of the charges.
and several others had announced that
they did not believe there was any evil
dence to sustain several of the articles
of impeachment At this juncture the
attitude of Senator Ross became a
source of much uneasiness to the OPP
ponents of the President After the
senate had been organized as a court
to hear the case. Ross had resolutely
refused to discuss its merits or to say
what his vote would be- He would only
say that he would hear the evidence
and the arguments, and then cast his

trial.
Cast Into Obscurtty.
Rumors of corruption and undue in
auence began to fly about Washington
Letters and marked editorials instruct
ing the senator how to vote came to
him by the thousand Reelection or
political ruin were held up as the two
alternatives But to no avail Ross
adhered to his determination to decide
the case upon its merits as best he
could, and refused to commit himself.
He was torn between his antipathy to
the President, his deep political pref
udices, his ambitions and his desire to
conform to the sentiment Of his state

slowly forcing itself upon him, ON the

he Joined with his insurgent colleagues
in pronourcing the President not
guilty there burst about his head a
storm the like of which has never as
sailed any other public man, and he
was cast into the wilderness OF OBJ
security.
Els Declining years-
Upon his retirement in 1871, Mr..
Ross made several successive newspa-
per ventures in Kansas, all of which
were failures, and a short time sufficed
to find him again eking out a precari-
Gus existence '-at the case" as in his
early manhood In 1882 he went to
Albuquerque and shortly became fore
man of the job department of one of
the local newspapers. where he re-
maIned for the next three years.
Soured by his summary dismissal
from the ranks of the Republican par
ty, Senator Ross became a Democrat,
and this change in. political faith en-
abled President Cleveland in 1885 at
least partially to reward Ross by APP
pointing him governor of New Mexico.
Upon his retirement in 1889, Gov. Ross
fitted up small job printing office in
Albuquerque. Much of the time he
was the only workman employed In
the humble routine of printing sale
bills, circulars and advertising "dodg-
ers" he spent the next 10 years
Two years ago Gov Ross sold his
printing Office and purchased a fruit
and alfalfa farm of 4 few acres in the
outskirts of the city Here in little
Mexican adobe house he is spending
the sunset years of his life, going into
town occasionally to work at his trade.

HARD LUCK OF A oNE-TIME
SENATOR.
Who sim Bears the PENALTY for Having
ysted Against the Impeachment of
President Johnson-Now Farmer and
Printer.
Special Letter.

Dividing his time between a little
fruit and alfalfa farm on the outskirts
Of Albuquerque, N. NJ, and a printing
Office in that place, living life of
comparative obscurity, is a man who
once was prominent in the political
life of the nation, who occupied seat
in the United States senate and whose
vote saved Andrew Johnson from be-
ing removed from the Presidency. His
name is Edmund G. Ross and he was
once governor of New Mexico.
Gov. Ross, as he is known to the peo-
pie of New Mexico, is one of the ubia-
uitous Ohio men He was born IS
years ago in Ashland, Ohio, near the
birthplace of Senator William B. Alli-
son of Iowa. Gov. Ross is one of the
oldest printers living When s years
old he began learning his trade.
Thenceforth the printing Office was his
only school. The slavery excitement
of the early sos found the young print
er foreman of a job Office in Milwau-

at that place. Then he removed to
Kansas, and entered the fight for free
dom in the new territory In 1865 he
founded the Topeka Tribune, one of
the first newspapers west of the Mis-
souri, river. AS its editor he rendered
no small service to the anti-slavery
cause When the fight for freedom and
the Union reached the war stage the
young editor followed it up. enlisttng
as a private in the Eleventh Kansas
Cavalry He saw service with his COM
mand throughout the war, and at its
end was mustered out with the rank OF
lieutenant-coloneL When Col Ross
returned to Topeka the legislature was
in deadlock over the election of q
senator His faithful and efficient serv-
ice to his party before the war and his
record in the army rendered him a
conspicuous figure at the capital, and
the long deadlock was broken by his
election.

There was a larger trade in wheat than
