Johnny Sherman dido’t make it at
Chicago, after all. Dan Hastings most
certainly is not to blame for it. Among
all the nominating speeches, Gen. Has-
tings mage the best, which is the verdict
of all the Jeading journals,
John Sherman is not to be the Repub
lican Moses, and he may now view the
white house fromthe dome of the capi-
tol. Sherman picked vp his grip sack
and left Chicago for home, very much
down in the mouth, He will get off the
train the next station before reaching
Mansfield at midnight, and foot it

weeks will be reported to all callers as

At Canton, China, some 250,000 people
live continuously upon boats and many
never step foot on shore from one years
end to another, The young children
have a habit of continually falling over
board and thus cause a great deal of
trouble in effecting a rescue, while in
many instances this is impossible and a
child is drowned. China is an over.popun.
lated country and the Chinese have pro.
fited by this drowning proclivity in re.
dacing the surplus population. They at-
tach floats to the male children so that
they can bé fished out when they tumble
into the river. The females are without
such protection and are nsaally left to

The Sun says: The weak point with
Gen. Harrison is that he is the grandson
of President William Henry Harrison
and the great-grandson of Benjamin
Harrison of Virginia, who was a member
of the Revolationary Congress, Govern-
or of Virginia, and, as a delegate in the
Convention of that State which ratified
the Federal Constitution, gave his vote
against ratification, It is a distinguished
ancestry, but the American people have
not hitherto regarded a man's ancestors
as qualifying him to be President.

FRED DOUGLARS, during slavery:
faithful to them during the war
and the time of reconciliation, and they had
been faithful to them ever since They were
faithful today to the solid south. He be
lieved that the Republican party would prove
itself! equally faithful to ite friends, and its
friends during the war were men with black
faces, Mr, Douglass then asked that the ool
ored men be remembered in the platform,
saying that they were now stripped of their
constitutional right, and had to wade 0 the
ballot box through blood. Mr. Douglas con
cluded: “Gentlemen, I speak in behalf of
the millions who are disfranchised to«day."
He was liberally applauded.
It was then stated by the chair that the
national committee had decided to place on
the roll the four uncontested Virginia dele.
gatos and the four delegates at large, hoaded
by Mr. Mabone. Congressman Wise arose
and vigorously condemned him, his party
methods—overything, in fact, with which
Mr. Mahone is now, ever has been or is likely
to be compected with, and was followed by
Mr. Mahone, who did much the same for Mr.
Wise that Mr. Wise had done for him. The
debate was raled out of order,
