by. of Whig antecedents, Cullom was not a charter member of the republican party As late as 1856 he was candidate for presidential elector on the Fillmore and Donelson ticket, and it is likely that he, would have remained whig to this good day had that party survived. There is none of the doctrinaire about Uncle Cullom. If member of the church he believes what the church believes-all of it and nothing else.
 And so as politician Uncle Shelby be- .lieves what the party belieyes-all of it, and he rejects all else. He never has and he never will open Pandora. He carts about no plank to put in the party plat form. He believes the worst republican is better than the best democrat in the political way. He is emphatically what Disraeli called Lord Liverpool--and arch mediocrity-and if the republican parry asserted it in the platform he would be for an established chruch. In short he would teach that the earth is round or square, just as party exigency dema nded
