GOOD CAMPAIGNING.

The Democratic Party is organized Tor a great campaign and plainly we are going to have one of the most memorable presidential struggles Of our history. There will be vast deal of planning and scheming on both sides to ret out a full vote. to persuade the do,,btful vote and win. The genuine -..oxL however. must be done in re-

When the Fifty-eighth Coh- rress came together there was put ustless interest felt as to the name or The man who might be selected as the ,eader of the minority. No member had been able to add to his reputation In discharging the duties of the post since Crisp of Georgia held 1t. It Is apparent that the Mississippi member believed there were neglected oppor- -tunities in the post of floor leader of a ninoritv. He wanted the place enough 70 go after 1t and get it. When he von 1t was not in the thought of any observer, however. that MT. Williams had achieved for himself a stroke of fortune and for his party peculiarly rich stroke of fortune. The Demo- cratic members had been knocking about in the mud of opposition for SC many years they never dreamed there rould be for them any fit ground on earth for executing manoeuvres of any sort. They wore rubber boots to a man.

Williams continued to be animated by this high spirit throughout the ses- sion, accepting whatever good that was offered and to bad partisan measures offering such amendments as would disclose the viciousness involved. The upshot was that the close of the ses- sion found the Democrats with the best disciplined and most determined mi nority the House had seen in twenty years. It is not an exaggeration to say the work done under this leader ship furnished a distinct character and tone to the St. Louis convention.

SENATOR VEST DEAD.

SELMA AoN DE<ADs
 The death of Senator Vest removes from the busy scenes of life brilliant and most interesting man. He was an active participant in the stirring events of the long period in which he lived. Born at Frankfort. ky. De- cember 6. 1880. graduated at Center
 college. ky. in 1S4S and at the law department of the Pennsylvania Uni
 versity, Ky, in 1853, he removed to Missouri immediately upon his gradua-
 tion, where he entered upon a success
 full practice of law. His law practice
 afforded him a field in which to dis play his brilliant talents as a debater and his great learning as lawyer. He
 was soon. however. drafted by his party as a leader in the fierce political battles of that period and was a Presi- dential elector on the Democratic ticket in 1860 and a member of the Mis- souri House of Representatives in | 1s6o-61.
 He allied himself with the Confed- crate cause in the great struggle of 1s61-5 and entered the military service early. He was soon called into the civil service as a member of the Con-
 federate Congress. serving in the House two years and the Senate one year.
 He returned to Missouri upon the close of hostilities and soon became a ootr O cuccasefu1 practitiouer of hfs profession. He was elected to the United States Senate and took his seat March IS. 1879. serving continuously
 until March 3. 1903. He served on the Committees of the Judiciary and Commerce, two of the great committees of that body for a large portion of the time he was in the Senate. He was classed among the ablest lawyers of that august body. He was brilliant and forcible in debate. He illuminated
 his subject and seldom failed to en-
 liven and interest his hearers when he engaged in the discussions of the Senate. He was not a frequent oc- cupant of the floor, but when he did arise to debate he was always well
 equipped by diligent study for the oc- casion. He was low of stature. but compactly and rather heavily built. He
 was usually, but not always. an at tractive and entertaining companion and when he was in the mood few men could eclipse him in instructive and entertaining conversation, frightened by frequent epigramatical turns and
 points of wit. He always sat at the ed by a wide circle of friends and &C., Quaintances.

who Is chairman in charge of. the Re- publican campaign. To have been elected governor of New York by even a small majority is a great honor of which the possessor should be too proud to risk any furnishing of it. There are many excellent people in all parts who see, or think they see, d glaring impropriety in the course that the chief magistrate of the Empire State, the official in charge of the inter- sets of all of New Yorks 7,000,000 in habitants the governor, not of a party but of the State, the agent whose ser vices are paid for by and belong to the people, has seen fit to adopt. Those sober-minded citizens think that Gov. Odell as Chairman Odell Is belittling his great office.
 We know of no precedent for this course but are not seriously apprehen- sively copied. for as a rule. the election of a man to the governorship ia Com monwealth implies capacity on the part of the elected to appreciate the prophecies of the position.
