JUDGE JEREMIAH S. BLACK. Death of the Venerable Statesman, Lawyer anil Jurist. A Deathbed Scene of Surpassing Tender-ness-Sketch of the Life and Services of viie Deceased. York, Aug. 18.—Judge Jeremiah S. Black died at ten minutes past 2 o'clock this morning. Though not unexpected, his death was sudden and a shock to the community. On Saturday morning he seemed somewhat better, but the improvement was too slight to justify hope of recovery. An unfavorable change began about 4 o’clock in the afternoon, and he gradually grew worse but remained conscious almost to the end, and died peacefully. From the beginning of his illness Judge Black believed lie would never recover, and was perfectly resigned. Mrs, Judge Black, Lieutenantgovernor Chauncey F. Black and wife, Henry Black, Mr. and Mrs. Hornsby, A. B. Farquhar and I)r. Meisenhelder were present. Many telegrams of condolence have been received. The funeral will take place on Tuesday, at sp. m. Ilis remains will be interred at Prospect Hill cemetery. Dr. Bowers, of the Christian Church, Washington, will probably officiate at the funeral. Shortly before Judge Black died he Said to his wife, “How can I fear to cross the dark river when my Father waits for me on the other shore?” and added: “Would I were as comfortable about all I leave behind unfinished in this world.” He then breathed the following earnest prayer: “Oh, thou beloved and most merciful Heavenly Father, from whom I had my being, and in whom I have ever trusted, if it be thy will, grant that ray suffering end. and that I speedily be called home to thee; and oh. may God bless and comfort thee, my Mary.” The immediate cause of his death was toxtrmia, produced by absorption of retained urinary constituents prior to the operation of Thursday. Dr. McKennon, of York, who had spent the day with the patient, noticed the appearance of unfavorable symptoms about 4 o’clock in the nfternoon. Dr. Meisenhelder, of York, who relieved Dr. McKennon about G o’clock, also noticed the change for the worse, and from that hour the increasing gravity of his symptoms indicated a gradual failure of all the vital forces. Judge Black Buffered greatly during his illness, out his Inst moments were without acute pain, and lie passed quietly away, retaining consciousness until within a few minutes of his death. Tiie Reported Death Discredited. New York, Aug. 19.—A dispatch from "Washington says the report of Judge Black’s death has been received there, but it is Act thought to be correct. Dr. Garnett, the consulting physician, heard nothing during the day and discredited the rumor when it was tirst reported to him this evening. Sketch of His Life and Service*. Judge Jeremiah S. Black was born in the glades of Somerset county, Pennsylvania, on the 10th of January, 1810. He was admitted to the bar when twenty-one years of age and continued in active practice almost to the time of his death. In 1842 he was elected judge of the court in the district in which he lived, and in 1851 was elected to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, and chosen its chief justice, being re-elected in 1854. In 1857 he was appointed Attorney-general of the United States, and in 1860 he became Secreretary of State, under the administration of President Buchanan. Since then be has not held any office, but has continued in his profession, being extensively quoted as especially good authority on points of constitutional law. This is a brief outline of a career of great houor and usefulness. MR. BLACK’B EARLY LIFE. When a boy Mr. Black did not enjoy even the meager educational advantages of his times, and the line scholarship and great learning that distinguished his later years were the result of a life-long study of the best works of the best authors, together with a close observation of men and current jy/ents. He had formed and maintained decided opinions on important questions, when others of his own age were still content with juvenile pursuits. Early in life lie espoused the principles of Jefferson rather than the policies of Clay, and the study of Randolph’s collection of Jefferson’s letters fixed his political faith before lie was sixteen. Even before he was of age he affiliated with the Democratic party, and tie has never broken the association, notwithstanding that party lias for years represented his principles only in name. He lias often seriously differed with its conduct, but has ever been too stubborn to leave it, even when it drifted away from him. His father, also originally a Democrat, became dissatisfied with the nomination of General Jackson in 1824, and he was in that year a Crawford presidential elector for his district. In 1841 there was a political event in which this father and son played an important and interesting part. The Democrats had determined to nominate Jerry Black for Congress, and the Whig conferees had all been chosen to name Joshua T. C’ox. When they met, however, they chose Henry Black to prevent hi 9 son’s nomination by the Democrats. Although importuned, he would not become a candidate against his father, and thus Henry Black w*nt to Congress and his son’s feet were turned in a judicial direction, and doubtless the whole course of liis life was changed. His father died in 1842, while serving his first congressional term. There was never in Judge Black’s career as painful a period, politically, as this which put him and his father in opposition for all time, and placed him hi aa equivocal position with his part}'. Honor and wealth did not come to the young man in a day. His father had struggled hard to keep the parental estate in his own hands, and it was no easy task to get the incumbrances off land not overly productive. It was the dream of his son’s early life to free Ins father from debt, and while his practice almost overwhelmed him from the start, it brought him money to do this, and this fact kept him to the work. In less than three years he paid off the mortgage on the home farm, lifted all the judgments and made his father comfortable. HIS POLITICAL CAREER. In 1843 Mr. Black was appointed judge of the District Court, and it was while acting in this capacity that he tirst met James Buchanan, with whose administration he afterwards had such a close and influential connection. He was at Harrisburg during the session of the Legislature, and was upon the floor of the lower house when some friend introduced Mr. Buchanan to him, and while they were becoming acquainted there was a very dramatic scene going on in the House. Just as they clasped hands Mr. McGowan, a member from Philadelphia, pulled out a kuife and stabbod Mr. Bratton, a feliow-

member, then editor of a paper at Carlisle called the Keystone, now the Volunteer, of the same place. Bratton jumped over his desk and ran, McGowan following, cutting at him as they went. All around the floor they pushed until separated by friends, but neither was badly hurt. It was queer enough that the personal acquaintance of these men began under the shadow' of a tragedy and their official association dissolved on the threshold of war. The acquaintance between Judge Black and Mi. Buchanan did not gflpw rapidly, for they did not often see each other for some years after their introduction. Year by year, as they both began to cut a wider swath in public aflairs, they were thrown more together, and there sprang up a friendship between them as lasting as life. They did much confidential correspondence, and often met at Bedford Springs and talked over the present and forecast the future. When Mr. Buchanan became President ! Mr. Black was appointed Attorney-general, j In that position he was not nominally the President’s chief advisor, yet his long and intimate acquaintance with Mr. Buchanan naturally forced him into that position, and he was charged witli many of the acts and utterances oHiis chief that lie not only actually but strenuously opposed. Going to Washington as ha did, the especial friend of the President, with a country-wide reputation as a jurist and scholar*- it was natural that he should at once take a front seat in the political councils of his party and a first place in the society of the National capital. His marvelous conversational power, his keen wit and inexhaustible fund of anecdote and information soon made him a favorite in all circles and among all classes. His political opponents, as well as his party associates, even in those days when party spirit ran almost to personal violence, sought ins compapa.iy and enjoyed his friendship. There came a time finally when Mr. Black could not reconcile his judicial opinion witli the conduct of the administration and then there was an open rupture between the two men who had been so intimately associated, and Mr. Black retired to private life and his profession, which he has since so signally adorned. JUDGE BLACK AS A LAWYER. Col. Frank A. Burr of the Philadelphia Press in an account of Judge Black’s life, written about a year ago says: Within the past twenty years he has argued more important cases before the Supreme Court than almost any other attorney in the country. His greatest case, pecuniarily. was doubtless the New Almedan Quicksilver Mining Company, of California. The testimony ir. this case covered 8,000 printed pages and the opposing counsels’ briefs were 1.700 pages long. Reverdy Johnson, Chas. O’Conor, and Judah P. Benjamin were the counsel on the other side, and R. B. Curtis and Caleb Cushing were at one time or another connected witli him in the case. He made the final argument and condensed the points of all this mass of testimony in an eight-hour speech, which is counted as the greatest legal effort of his life. He won the case and received one of the largest fees ever paid an American lawyer. His arguments in the many cases involving the constitutionality of the reconstruction acts are familiar history. His great effort in the Milligan case, which secured a decision from the Supreme Court denying the right of a military commission to try a citizen for his life, is also well known. The late President Garfield was associated with him in this case. The Campbell will case and many other important cases were also in his hands. His legal work before the electoral commission, where he was one of the Democratic counsel, is of so recent date that extended mention of it is unnecessary. His argument before this tribunal has been much criticised and is generally counted as very severe upon the decisions of that commission. One of the justices of the Supreme Court, who served thereon, has often remarked: “He took advantage of that occasion to say things that he would have been punished for contempt for if uttered before a court.” This may be true, but there seems always to have been a latitude of expression allowed Judge Black before the Supreme Court that no other lawyer approached. This may spring from the fact, however, that he can sav more cutting tilings in better language than any other lawyer in the land, and that his whole life has been characterized by bold audacity of speech of which few men are capable. He has figured conspicuously in all the State trials since he gained eminence at the bar. He wss at first Andrew Johnson’s leading counsel in his impeachment trial, but withdrew because the President broke faith with him about other matters in which lie was interested. He defended Belknap in his impeachment trial, and his speech in his defense was a model of argument and invective against the system which made Belknap’s offense possible. His range of practice and success has been wide —broad enough, indeed, to satisfy any man’s ambition and to comfortably fill his purse. Stanton nml Black. Os the many interesting stories that are told of Mr. Black, the followingis most characteristic: The story of Judge Black’s connection withMr. Buchanan’s administration would be incomplete without reference to his acquaintance and association with Edwin M. Stanton. The two became acquainted and fast friends while Judge Black was at the head of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. They first met at Pittsburg, where Mr. Stanton lived and practiced law. It was during the trial of an important suit and Black was struck with the care with which the caseMr. Stanton argued had been prepared and the honesty and straightforwardness with which iie presented it to the court. “An attorney who prepares his cases well and presents them fairly, can greatly assist a judge in reaching a correct conclusion. Stanton always did this, and the court could listen to him without weariness,” Judge Black has often said, in speaking of how he was attached to him as a lawyer. Very soon after Stanton argued his first case before the Supreme Court they became warm friends, and when Black went to Washington as Attorney-general and needed assistance in the preparation and trial of the Mexican claim cases in California, he employed Stanton as his assistant, and sent him to California to prepare the suits for the government. These cases were very important, involved many million dollars worth of property, ams Mr. Stanton performed the duty assigned him by the Attorney-general in a most satisfactory manner to the government. His work was therefore of great value in the final determination of the most important suits the government had in those days. All through Mr. Buchanan's term their relations were very close, although the President did not like him. When trouble came they stood together and acted as one man, and there was never a difference between them upon the questions that provoked tlie war. When Mr. Brown died and left the Postottioe Department in confusion. Judge Black made an effort to induce Buchanan to appoint Stanton, but Thompson induced him to give Holt the place. When General Cass resigned and Mr. Buchanan appealed to Black to take his place as Secretary of State, his answer was: “Only upon one condition.” “What is that?” inquired the President. “That you will make Stanton Attorneygeneral,” was the reply. Mr. Buchanan hesitated, but finally agreed, and thus Judge Black, after much effort, got the strong Stanton into the cabinet to help him in his fight against the Secessionists, and during the last months of Mr. Buchanan’s term, Black, Stanton and Holt wore as one man in their duty to the Union. After Mr. Stanton became Secretary of War in Mr. Lincoln’s Cabinet their paths widely di-

verged, but their friendship was never disturbed. During all the war no face was more welcome to Mt. Stanton’s office than Judge Black’s, although it was seldom seen there, aud few men’s influence was more potent with him if he had chosen to exert it. From the hour the intimacy sprang up between them to the day of Stanton’s death, there never was a breach in their friendship, and tome of the warmest tokens of regard he ever uttered came from Stanton to Black during the months intervening between his retirement from public life and his death. His Attitude During the War. Judge Black’s attitude during the war has been the subject of much adverse criticism and doubtless had much to do with fixing tlie popular idea that he was not for the Union in the days when his influence and advice were powerful. It was not easy for the average mind to understand the distinction he made between war and revolution, and his passive attitude only added to the force of adverse criticism of his acts and utterances. No man can, however, say with truth that he was disloyal or was ever, even in the heat of war, for making a single concession to the secessionists. He not only believed that all the physical force of the government should be thrown upon them to prevent them from leaving the Union, but that when they agreed to submit to the laws every State should resume its place in the Union without a right impaired. After Mr. Lincoln’s death, and Andrew Johnson became President, Judge Black was again prominent in Washington life, and at one time had a great influence with the President. While holding these relations he urgently advised President Johnson against issuing his amnesty proclamation. He argued that the Confederates had bejun an unjustifiable assault upon the Union, and if there was any law to reach them they should be punished for their acts. “They have passed the point where they are entitled to mercy. They should have only justice, and all there is of it.” This interview with Andrew Johnson illustrates, perhaps witli greater force than any other act of his life, the fine distinction lie drew as to the power of the government in dealing with the secessionists. He had advised Buchanan that it was his duty to enforce the laws in the insurgent States by force of arms if need be, and that the government not only had the right, but that it was the duty of the executive to punish any infraction of the laws no matter what power stood behind the aggressors and no matter what the strength of the rebellion might be. His theory was that there could not justly be indiscriminate war made against all the people of a State for acts committed by a few of its citizens, no matter what their position or character, but that the guilty should and ought to be punished. He followed this ruling strictly when lie strongly objected to the amnesty proclamation, and urged upon Andrew Johnson that the insurrectionists should be punished if there was any law in the land to do it. An Efttiinate of Judge Black. Mr. Burr, who had earnestly made a close study of Mr. Black’s life and character, in summing up gave expression to the following, as his estimate of the man: “It is not yet time to write Judge Black’s biogrophy. Most people are not yet free enough from the animosities the war created to accept even indisputable evidence of his loyalty to the Union. It is hard, indeed, to batter down, even with stubborn facts, the prejudices of twenty years. It may take as much longer to reach the point where his life and character will be seen in their true light. His whole life has been one of controversy. He began to fight'when a boy, and has lived in nn atmosphere of contention ever since. Consequently there are many sharp edges to his nature, and they have run against many people and left sore places. He has ever warmed as with wine by the fire the friction of opposing minds strikes. Is it strange tiiat there are many people who will still contend that lie is a cold man who follows his prejudices rather than his reason and judgment? It is very easy for one who has had the opportunity of studying his character to understand his attitude during the war. His early eiuation, his thorough judicial habits of mind, his reverence for the constitution and demand for its strict construction, naturally makes his convictions too inflexible to meet tlie necessities of revolution. There are naturally weak as well as strong sides to his character. I should say that in politics he was sometimes apt to follow the proclivities of the Scotch-Irisli race to the verge, if not the altitude, of prejudice. I doubt if he would often be merciful, but he would always be just. His home and social life is, and lias ever been, something sublime, and there is no wonder that he has enjoyed the love and respect of ali who were brought much in contact with him there. Even those who abhor his politics must respect him for his social worth, great power of mind and gift of speech. If he would only write of his association with those who widely differed with him in politics, but admired him as a man, it would make a valuable volume. His relations and intercourse with General Garfield would ho one of the most interesting chanters. This friendship began early and was never disturbed even by the bitterness of heated politics. Among the lamented President’s latest inquiries was for Judge Black, and when he w T as told that he had called and was very anxious about him, lie said with great feeling: “That almost pays for this!” The list of his warm friends might he made to include most of the men on both sides of the political fence who have grown to prominence during iiis lifetime. When the historian comes to deal with his life, character and services the country will be in better temper to justly deal with them. When that day comes all will be ready to say he was a great, good, honest man, too strong for most of his kind and too inflexible in will and convictions to be pliable or what the world calls popular.

THE FIGHTING DEMOCRACY. ■ • The War of the Hendricks People Against Mr. McDonald. Prominent Democrat* Who sire Engaged in It—Talk witli Ex-Senator Clinginau —Letter from John Kelly. Washiugton Special to St, Louis Globe-Democrat. An active Democratic politician in Washington, this week, spoke freely of the political situation and the prospects of some of the candidates for the Democratic nomination for the presidency. Among other things, he said: “In Indiana Hendricks and his friends are working with great energy and zeal to prevent McDonald from securing a solid delegation from that State to the national convention. William Henderson, an Indianapolis banker, who is a cousin of Hendricks, and who possesses his entire confidence, is one of those most actively engaged, but I understand that Judge Niblack, of the State Supreme Court, is giving much practical aid and sympathy to the movement. Another man who, I believe, secretly favors it is John Shoemaker, of the Indianapolis Sentinel, although he professes to be a McDonald man. A sort of literary bureau has been established in Indianapolis, from which a good deal of matter is being sent to the rural Democratic press of the State, advocating the claims of the ‘old ticket.’ It is asserted, and by many of McDonald’s friends believed, that when the Hendricks people find a country editor who is not willing to lend his voluntary aid to their enterprise they make it to his pecuniary advantage to help along the boom for the 'old ticket.’ There are five or six Democratic papers in the State which are tliick-and-thin advocates of the nomination of Tilden and Hendricks.” “But it is strongly asserted that Mr. Tilden will not be a candidate, and that he is urging his friends to support Judge Hoadly,” the correspondent remarked. “Well, I iiave reason to believe that if Hoadly carries Ohio Tilden will favor his nomination, provided he does not want it for himself. Ido not reailv think that Hendricks and his friends believe that the‘old ticket’ will be nominated, but they hope to use the sentiments in favor of it in Indiana to divide the delegation from that State, aud so ruin McDonald’s prospects. At any rate that is what McDonald’s friends believe.” “Do you think the support the CourierJournal is giving McDonald is earnest and sincere?” the Correspondent remarked. “Most assuredly I do. i know it. Mr. Watterson’s visit to New York was misunderstood by most people. I have good reason to believe he foresaw that at some time between tiiat and the election of delegates to the national convention there would be a cry for the ‘old ticket.’ In my opinion, which is not mine alone, but is shared by most of McDonald’s friends, Mr. Waiterson’s famous letter, describing Mr. Tilden’s health and physical condition was designed to provoke a discussiou respecting the policy and probability of putting the old ticket in the field. That object was accomplished, and the result has convinced McDonald’s friends that an attempt to nominate Tilden and Hendricks would not be formidable. An intimate friend of McDonald told me very recently tiiat there is a perfect understanding between Watterson and the ex-Senntor, and that the Indiana candidate is very hopeful.” A Talk With Ex-Seuator Clingmun. Washington Special. Ex-Unitfid States Senator Clingman, of North Carolina, in talking about the presidential possibilities said that lie was satisfied that Tilden is not and will not be a candidate. He intimates that he became satisfied of this through talking with Mr. Dana, and he added: “Mr. Dana is, or pretends to be, for Holman of Indiana. lam for McDonald in preference. The only thing that Holman has to recommend him is the reputation lie has for objecting to everything except drawing his salary. Now, in olden times, when I was in the Senate, if a man got up am! objected it was regarded pretty much as if you were to see a buzzard look down. You would think there was some carrion about. But Holman has played himself out, anil when he objects the house looks upon it with contempt.” He further said that McDonald or Judge Field would fill the bill to a nicety, but tiiat Bayard would not do at all. Johu Kelly Will Support the Old Ticket. Jefferson City (Mo.) Special. lion. M. K. McGrath, Secretary of State, has received the following letter from John Kelly, of New York, giving hie views upon the political situation and pending canvass: “23 Park row, New York, Aug. 11, 1883. “My Dear Sir—l have to acknowledge tlie receipt of yours of the 3d inst., on which you have pasted two paragraphs relative to the coming Presidential canvass. Permit me to thank you for your invaluable kindness and disposition to assist me when yon had the power to do so. In my opinion we should not be too decided in our opinions relative to the Presidential canvass: we should nominate those woo are most available and popular with the people and whose recorus can stand the test of investigation. If the old ticket should bo nominated it is the question for us to decide on our best judgment whether we could succeed or not. bo far as right is concerned, men ought to act on their convictions of right and blot out the disgraceful record that our opponents made against us lu 1877 in the Cougress of the United States. “You may have noticed that there have been published here in Eastern papers articles widen have read “Historical Justioe.” This probably means that the old ticket should be nominated. Should it be nominated it will be supported with as much vigor and effort as that made in 1876 by us. Hoping that you are well, lam very truly yours, John Kelly. “Hon. Michael K. McGrath, City of JeftVrson, Mo.:” Boss McLean Talks About Crape. Columbus (O.) Special. The Nashville interview with Mr. Hoadly gave a cue to the Hamilton county situation, which Mr. Hoadly has injudiciously followed up by letters to the State executive committee and “friends” over the State. In one of these he says McLean lias things fixed in Hamilton county, and there is no use interfering, as it will only make more enemies. There have been rumors for several days tiiat these letters were only a part of a contract between Hoadly and McLean. Tne party of the first part has agreed to two things in consideration of the support of the Enquirer. The first of these is the defeat of Pendleton in Hamilton county, and the second the suppression of the News Journal. The term “suppression” is used advisedly. Consolidation was at first talked of, but McLean emphatically refused to consider such a proposition. He said: “What I want is a majority of the stock. I’ll soon wind up its affairs after that. There will be crape on the News-Journal door the morning after the election.” When it was hinted that this could not be granted, lie said then the ultimatum was crape on Judge Hoadly’s door. Hoadly fur Governor, Bookwaiter for Senator, and Henry B. Payne for President, in 1884, with Colonel Oliver H. Payne a future senatorial aspirant, is the generally recognized McLeanHoadlv slate at the present time. Evidence of the new coalition is found in Hoadiy's denial of Woodard’s letter in the

New York Herald. As long as McLean, who had proofs, was fighting him, Hoadly did not dare make a denial. But he jumps up quick enough after lie effected the new deal. THE YELLOW FEVER. A Rumor at Galveston that New Orleans lias Had One Case. Galveston, Aug. 18.—The Evening TVint publishes the following: “The belief obtains in this city among some persons who have been iu communication with friends in New Orleans, that there has been at least one case of yellow fever in tiiat city within the past few days, although there has been no official announcement of the fact by the Crescent City authorities. It is merely rumor or supposition, but it is strong enough to cause a very marked sentiment iu favor of quarantining against New Orleans. The lack of confidence in the board of health and the physicians at New Orleans tends to strengthen the faith in any rumors of yellow fever that come from that city, because it is alleged that these gentlemen invariably try to conceal when fever does appear there. An Associated Press representative learned to-night from a member of the Galveston board of health that Dr. Fly, president of the board, was to telegraph from New Orleans if he found that the report has any foundation. Dr. Fly did not go to New Orleans especially for this purpose, but the gentleman stated tiiat someone would probably have been sent if Dr. Fly had not been going tiiat way. Nothing lias been heard of Fly. It is said, lie left New Orleans during the day for Louisville. A Pensacola dispatch says: No yellow fever at Pensacola, and but one death at tiie navy-yard, which is seven miles distunt. Surgeon Owen and his son and a marine are sick, supposed to be with yellow fever. A cordon is established around the navy-yard on land and water, which makes Pensacola feel perfectly secure. No alarm whatever is felt at Pensacola, and no one is refugeeing. THE KNIGHTS TEMPLARS. A Great Crowd and Poor Management at the Services Yesterday. San Francisco, A: j. 19. —Even the weather is doing its best to make the Eastern Knights feel at home. The thermometer this morning stood at seventy-seven, with a prospect of a further rise for the procession to-morrow. At the religious services this afternoon in the pavilion there was a terrible crush. Eight thousand persons were in the building and 4.000 were left outside, who continued to put forth every effort to obtain entrance. The large police force present was unable to control the crowd, the greater number of officers being employed in carrying off fainting women and children. It was so hot before the service was half over that the people commenced streaming out, only to make room for others to get in. Expressions of thanks were repeatedly heard from those who managed to get out without being crushed. This is the first evidence of any inismanagraent. The committee permitted twice too many tickets issued. The scene inside was imposing, the floor of the pavilion being a mass of handsome uni* forms and flowing plumes. The exercises were conducted in the usual Knights Templars order, opening with the hymn “Onward, Christian soldiers,” rendered in such grand style us to quicken the pulses of all who heard it. The services terminated at 5 o’clock, each commandery seeking its own headquarters. Mr. Myron W. Reed. Wabash Courier (Dem.) He is one of the acknowledged great thinkers of Indiana, eminently independent in thought, ami his sympathies are always on the right side. His parishioners are among the richest people of the State capital, but lie says to them "I have no time to visit with you. You have money and can take care of yourselves. All of my time is required by the poor of my congregation; come to church regularly; I leave you with God while I visit to pray with the sick and distressed in unfrequented places.” Believing tiiat a pure theology can not he given through the medium of an impure body, lie frequently abstains from w’ori: and takes a great deal of exercise. Myron W. Reed is acquainted with the philosophy of the day as well as theology ami the most progressive Christianity. He says that the degraded condition of the Indian witnesses the want of humanity among the American people. “We hate the Indian because we have wronged him.” He is a student of the Irish question and familiar with the land question in all of its phases, and bis pronounced ideas of government are exactly in harmony witli those held by the Democrats, yet. notwithstanding all this, he is a prominent Republican candidate for Governor. lleavy Loss by Fire.
