~ Az an aphorism it is generally concurred in
that the office should seek the man and not
the man the Office. AS matter Of practice in
our political system the converse is usually
true. that men scramble for the office and the
man whom the Office should seek does not get

JOHN BIGELOW DEAD.

At the age O. "a Americas grand old man"
has gone and with his departure one Of the
few remaining links that connected the early
history OF the last century with this has pass
ed away. The contemporary and intimate
friend OF many OF the distinguished literary
and public men OF another age his mind was
filled with interesting and valuable remnis-
cences which, IL we mistake not, he was pre-
pairing for print when the last summons came
Born in New York IN 1877 he became asso-
ciated with William Cullen Bryant in the CON.
duct Of the Evenan0 Post and remained in that
connection until 1861 when he became United
States Consul at Paris. Afterwards he was
Minister to France and later Secretary of State
Of New York. His last years have been &C.
cupied with literary and historical labors
A distinguished publicist. historian and lit
terateur he numbered among his friends the
most famous men Of several generations. His
life was worthily spent in the service of his
country and he passes from the scene of his
long and honorable abors with no stain upon
his name.

ing The people weighed him and he was ac-
corded the largest popular vote cast for De-
mocratic candidate in many years, in spite of
the open hostility OF influential factors in his
own party The politicians have weighed him
and pronounced him wanting and have stolen
his principles and are parading them as theil
own. Wherever you find vested interests o.
corrupt political machines or liquor forces you
will find him weighed and found wanting but
the clean, honest patriotic citizens are very
apt to brand him as of the highest men
in public life. He has never yet been branded
with the dollar mark and never been accused
Of wearing the collar of any man or aggrega-
ton OF men. Independent courageous and
honest William j. Bryan commands the con-
fdence and respect of thousands.
