dolence began coming in, and the little telegraph office as Hartfed was swamp ed with unprecedented business.
 The death of Lord Salisbury occurred on the fifteenth anniversary of his entry into public life as a member of the house Of commons for Stamford.
 The elevation of Lord Cranborne to the house of lords creates a vacancy In the Rochester district and probably will entail the selection of new under secretary of foreign affairs. The ex-premier, though retired from political life, was an impor- tant figure in many public ways. He was a warden of the cinque ports, high stew ard of Westminster and chancellor of Ok ford university. His death places an or der of Knight of the Garter at the disposal of King Edward.
 Robert Arthur Talbot Gascoyne Cecil. Marquis of Salisbury, was born at Hat field, England. February 10. 1880. He was educated at Eton and Oxford; sat in the house of commons from August 1S53 un- til accession to the marquisate April 12, 1868; became secretary of state for 1n- dia in Earl Derby's third administration. July, 1866, but resigned March ?, 1867, in consequence of unwilingness to support the reform bill: accepted the same post in Dsraelis second administration, Feb ruary, 1874; succeeded Lord Derby as min ister of foreign affairs in May. 1873; was one of the British plenpotentiaries at the congress of Berlin For the next six years he maintained a vigorous opposi- ton to Gladstone. From June to Noyem- ber 1885, he was prime minister again from 1886 to 1892. and again from 1895 un- til about year and a half ago, when he retired from public life. At the time of his death he was chancellor of Oxford.

AT a meeting held in Chicago on the

several thousand people. In the course

him; 1--WE are handicapped just now
by the fact that the last Democratic
administration that we had was more
subservient 10 corporate dictatlon than
any Republican administration that
had preceded IL, and the record of that
administration has been milestone
about the pariy's neck ever since. The
influence exerted by Wall street over
the administrations policy, the use OF
patronage to reward those who be-
traycd their constituents and the en-
ployment Of the most reprehensible OF
Republican methods make the admin
istration stencil IN the nostrils OF the
people, and kept in the Republican
party many who were disguised at that
party's course The odium which Mr.
Cleveland's second administration
brought upon the party which elected
