m lS4S no SuCu census coulu oe ldheH. ooHle Free Soil Democrats knowing that Van Buren had no chance, voted for Taylor because they were bent on defeating Class. In the lndustrl- al states, particularly in Pennsylvania, there were Democrats who resented Folks double dealing on the tariff. But the Democrats who supported Taylor simply because they ad- mired him as a'soldier and man were numer- ous enough to worry the managers of the machine.
 Perhaps every man of seventy remembers some of those who, without being Republicans, were Grant men. Daniel E Sickles was a Grant man first, and more or less of Repub- lican afterwards-he was for Hancock in 1880. There were war Democrats who In 1864 had 8 faint hope that Grant might be the nominee lof their party Four years later there was possibility that he would be offered the Demo- cratic nomination. In 1879 there were rumors that in case he should the next year be again in the race strong body of Southern Demo- crats would support him as the candidate, not of the Republican party, but of the natlon This is not often mentioned today. perhaps a majority of this generation never heard of it., but it was earnestly talked of during the half year preceding the nomination of Garfield While it may not seem probable that Grant cou1d have broken the line of Southern elect oral votes. it is quite possible that he would have won the support of Southern men of prominence in their states, Assuredly there were Republicans who would not have sup ported any third term candidate, but there were Democrats in every Northern state who were ready to fall into line for Grant If he was again in the field. Grant, the resolute soldier and the generous victor, was admlred bv hosts who had innate or inherited preJu- dices against the Republican party. Bob Toombs said with explosives that he liked Grant better than any of his crowd.
 Garfield reminds us of a Creek who took part in war as he did in every movement of his time, not of a Roman to whom life was a long sacrifice to the war god. In Congress financial questions rather than military toplcs sppeaed to his mind He paid a striking tribute to Thomas, but it is as pafllamentar- ian. a man of wide reading, lover of pro tracted study that he was known to hls own generation and to our own. History oddly repeated itself for Pierce $ military achieve ments though he did all that was required of him, were not comparable to those of Win field Scott, and Garfield was certainly not as d soldier on the same plane with Winfield Scott Hancock.
 It has happened that party has educated a candidate, as the Democratic party framed Horatio Seymour. It has sometimes happened that a statesman has educated a party-We may say that Daniel Webster taught the Wings to expound the Constitution. But it has also Happened that a conquering chief tain has so loomed in the public eye that h1s nomination was a necessity Such victors we may call 'our military Presidents. :"

The squire heard the evidence and then after opening his book and glancing at it, fined the negro $4.49, to be worked out on the roads at $2.55' per day.
