territory All that was most charac teristic of New England all that was most typical of Virginia, came to Ohio James A. Garfield, was pro- duct of her northern area. Allen G. Thurman was the outgrowth of her southern fringe. So late as the civil war every boy, even if he did not know of the leather-stOcking type, had listened to Indian stories as thrilling as WashingtOn's experience at Fort Duquesne. The tomahawk had menaced the frontier cabin years after Fulton had gone up the Hudson. Almost as soon as the old war whoOp died away in the distance town lots were laid out and school houses built.
 The rivalries of the last half cen tury have plotted out the memory of the struggle between Chase and Wade. Had they been united Chase might have been the first Republi- can president. AS it is his restless ambition longed for the Republican nominations of 1860 and 1864; for, the Democratic leadership of 1868, and for the Liberal Republican candidacy of 1872.

 Perhaps no one ever wrote a paper
 on Sir Walter Scott without re- f1natino hot oTy the Caledonian seacoast alarmed by Paul Jones, that he shared in the re- lief felt after Nelson's great victory, that he lived until Napoleon Bona parte was only a nightmare of the past. Is it not to Americans of equal interest that John Sherman grew up i in an Ohio that had fought for it's life against the savage, that ere his prime he saw the country made over by railroads, and that in his old age he met congressman who could not remember the civil war?
 Politics with jimmy is never to be recommended" says the Charlotte N. C., News-Observer, Democratic
