Downfall of the 1905.

The Chicago convention Of 1880 set
forth clearly how strongly the Amer
lean people cling to the wise tradi-
tIons OF the fathers. General Grant
was content with the popular favor
accorded him and had no further po-
Iiucal ambition. Certain party lead
ers. however, 6ragooned him into al
lowing the use of his name as q
candidate for third presidential
term Seemingly he was lured into
the grievous blunder Of his life. The
minority of 306 ON the convention roll
by no means included ali the admirers
OF the warrior r-statesman. The safe
guard against permanence in eXecu-
tive authority was deemed vital, over
rode personal regard and esteem and
forbade compliance with individual
desire. Devotion TO the Republican
principle prevailed and the famous
hero went to defeat In the home OF
his friends.

declaration Of the vice president of the
United States, james 8. Sherman, who
was the principal speaker here tonight
at the Grant day banquet of the Amer

The vice president asserted that Gen
eral Grant was 1ured into the grievous
blunder Of his life, but that devotion
to Republican principles prevailed at
this convention and the famous hero
went down to defeat In the house of
friends.
Grants opponents never charged
that he ever tried to add to the power

for him the precept and example Of
Washington could not be set aside by

The directors of the Y M. c. A.
held a special meeting Wednesday
night to consider the resignation of
Mr. II. C. Wright as general secretary
he having recently been offered a po-
sition under State Secretary w. q
Florain, of Parkersburg. Local infiu-
ences, however, combined to induce
Mr.. Wright to withdraw his resigna-
ton, at least for the present, and he
has consented to do so.
The directors decided to inaugurate
a campaign for new members the lat
ter part of September or early in Dc
tober If this movement be success
full, and it is confidently believed it
will, the increased membership would
mean a large additional revenue, and
this would enable Mr.. Wright to carry
out some plans he has in mind for the
betterment of conditions with respect
to the local association but which were
impossible the present year by reason
of lack of funds.
Mr. Wright announced that hewould
wait till the 18th of next October when
he will give the board his final answer

Harpers Ferry Friday evening few
minutes after 7 O'Clock when B. & o.
New York-to-Chieago train No. Z

engine and several cars passed over
him as he lay between the tracks.
A number of people at the station
were witnesses to the accident in
Guiding several from this city.
The body of Mr.. GIL was sent to
Woodstock Friday night where, it is
presumed. the burial will take place.

was Rev. Samuel Gill, formerly OF
Woodstock. where his people now re-
side, and who was formerly minister
of the Reformed Church, but who left
that denomination and connected him
self with the congregational Church
several years ago. He had been
preaching in Ohio lately and was on

tinsburg Saturday. Mr.. Birch is prob
ably the best posted representative on
foreign trade in this country, having
made several circles of the globe, WIS.,

igator's Club" whose membership is
confined exclusively to those who have
