Smith, Jr. There aro things in it about him which nobody ever heard of.before, and: which, consequently, most have beeh known ‘only to Mr. Smith, who * consequently must have been the author. + ° Ig is.a thing. which 1s too good to spoll by quo- tations, and {t is therefore published in full. ) here are some slight errors in it; such, for in- sance, a5 the statement: that Sumner was: seateniy more tidn Tree of“ academic restraints when he was elected to the Senate. Asa matter of fact he. was 39.". There is ‘also some error in the ‘impression sought tobe conveyed by the tractthat Alexander Hamifton, Pitt, Napoleon, Dickens, Byron, etc, wore whatthey were be- camethey were boys. If Such were the case “there would be hope for Mr. Smith, but their snooess was: in epite of “their boyhood, and not because” Of it. “However here is the paper, Bhakspearean quotations and all: YOUNG MEN IN POLITICS. _?

One of the most. brilliant young men who ever went. to the Unit- ed States Senate was George E. Pugh, of Ohio, He was but a boy. But his voice rang like.a clarion among the stately statesmon who looked loftily at the “stripling” in, thefr midst, who gompelle® respect and attention by the'vigor, force, and power of his mind. So with Sumuer, the great high-souled ohampion of _buman rights. He was’ scarcely’ more than freed of academic restraints when he was sent to fill the Place of thut marvelous Boanerges among statesmen, Daniel Webster. And who ‘will say be did not worthily fill it?” - ss a ~. The roll of young men who ‘have shed lustre Spon thelr names which time cannot dim nor efface by virtue of great, noble, and benéficent deeds, is long, though not wearisome, to recite. In every department of human affairs the young blood of energy, push, and vigorous application is bounding with -healthful-enthusinsm. It is no disparagement of those who have grown gray in public service to point with pride to the Jong array of britliant young men who have achieved distinction in every sphere of.useful- ness by sheer force of merit and native genius. ‘The gentleman .who-bas receutly received tho. nomination for the position of Congressman from the Demoorats of North Chicago. is-a representative young man in the fullest sense, who. deserves success for special reasons. He. has qualities of head and ‘heart: whieh entitle him to more than ordinary respect and consider- ation. Considering his surrounaings and asso- clations, it is altogether exceptional to sce one 80 altuated prove himself ontirely above and be- yond the weaknesses and vanities of the aver- gage young man. Under the. ten thousand- temptations to “ zo to the devil,” as most young men nominally or practically do who are eavi- roned by the allurements of wealth and of ease, Mr. Perry H. Smith, Jr., has developed a true, geauiae manhood such as to be phenomenal. Be- longing to the most vexatious ot professions, ho hasrisen toan enviable position in its ranks, Such as to cause wonder and surprise when one retlects upon the discipline through which he must have reached it. It is the pest possible evidence that: withont the necd and spurof n effort to obtain that which 1s the, anxious concern of: -the majority of work-day. toilers,—independence. sq -far n3 mere ‘support and material comfort goes,—this young gentic- man has proved-absolutely “* proof and bulwark gninst sense.” Though of a family renowned for wealth and -social supremacy not alone in this city and: section, but all over this, brogd. fand, he is yetin the best and truest.sense a representative of the people. He js a gentleman with all which that term implies. Not alone in mere refluement and polish of outward manners and the easy assumption of cordial: feelings to;- ward all, but considerate, thoughtful, and kind- ly at heart toward the meanest creature. There ig as much aiference in true dignity ‘and arro- gance as between the ring of the genuiue and the spurious coin, He.that would genullect with studied grace {n the presence of ladies ina drawing-room may be an arrogant boor in-tae presence of his washerwoman or carriage- driver. And in this very matter of personal in- tercourse with all classes and conditions of people has Mr. Smith best shown the true in- stincts of the real ‘gentleman. Frank, easy, with a peculiar, quict candor, which is win- some to the fullest degree, generous and con- siderate. The meanest beggar that tim-. idly murmurs - his aterooty pod appeal will receive at his. hands as gentle and considerate treatment as the “ourled dar- lings” of our best society. Above the very ap- pearance of anything like trickery‘or double- lenling, he is yet discreet and reserved in ex~ pressing his judgment. Well and thoroughly educated in the best schools, he is yet perfectly- simple in his methods of: expression, and, what is most admirable, always and under every form of temptation to imitate, unaffected in manner and speech. Perry H. Smith, Jr., will, if elected - to .Con~ gress, be a represantative of the whole people, - and not of a monopoly, or a class, or a local- ity. He is by nature and education unfitted to look at public questions in # marrow or partisan spirit, or to trcat-them .tippantly. Genial, jovial, entirely free from that most o1 fensive thing,—a patronizing air. toward infcri- ors,—he is nlway8.and everywhere earnest, thoughtful, and sincere. He combines within himself qualities of head and- heart which «are seldom found in one 80. young in experience; and therein is the best guarantee of useful and eticient public service. Heisone of the most industrious young lawyers in Chicago. He hasa habit and a faculty of getting into-the detaiis of case that are worthy of imitation by those who have more need not to despise small things. {n- the trial of a Justice case, he exerts the samo. kind of cnerey and veal in behalf of his client's cause as he does in a case before the United States Court involving thousands of dollars. ‘There is many a poor and ;lowly- home not alone in his district, but evétywhere else he has. lived and sojourned, whose~ inmates will bless his name and memory. Many an act of unob- trusive and unrecorded generosity. has smoothed the rourh pathway Of some poor dis-- mantled hulk of humanity. "No man whose only jortion on this carth is toil} and sweat—a cease less struggle for bread—will ever see a-frown of disdain in his face, or have the door shut upon him unkindly: He is no idle. sentimentalist who would imitate tho older men’ about him if ho were sent to Congress. He is ive and positive in his nature, as.well.as imbued with the gentlest instincts of human nature. T5 a In the pending canvass Mr. Smith bas for his opponent 2 Goliath in politics, full armored and. equipped with the latest implemeuts of warfare, ,| ~—a very gladiator in thé—poktfedl arena! “a Samson in virile strength.

That is a tradition that necd not .now be revived'by” repetition of nnother term. Let this ‘young.

INDIANA AND OBTO. . é In all political circles the Indiana: and Ohio elections were yesterauy the ouly topics availa- bie for conversution. Both sides are anxious, but a number of prominent Republicans’ claim. that they have information In regard to Indiana which leads them tu believe that the result in the lower tier of counties willbe a surprise to the Democrats, who. have been. expecting tho usual majorities from that section. On the other hand, there was expressed qreat fear.of'a Democraticstill-hunt in Ohio. The betting, which has been at odds on the Democrats, yesterday dropped to even, with occasional odds on Porter. Each side claims to have detectives at work, and if promises can be believed the election in Inai- ana will be absolutely pure, but the sudden de- arture of several well-known members of the fackif-McDonald yang shows just how the. Democratic fund in this county is being used in Indiana. The opiniod seems to be general that the majority will be small in auy event, and that the Greenbackers will develop strength. - ; A number of the veterans who returned from’ Indianapolis last evening report that the feel- ing there against English and Landers is intense. ‘They claim that there is no possible doubt of the result in that city, and are correspondingly en- thusiastic over tho'prospect. - THE SHERMAN MEETING. ~ i Invitations have been sent.out to a number of the solid business-men to meet at the headquar- ters of the Central Garfield Club in the Palmer House at 3:30 p. m. to-morrow to make the final arrangements’ for the fo McCormick. -Hall ‘Thursday: evening. it was deemed proper. that the business-men should take pold of this matter, as Secretary.

Upon this motion -Arthur Dixon made a long spvecch, in which he said that ho would not voto for the nominees because the First Ward had been ignored, but he would vote for the rest of the Repnblican-ticket.

Of the five races on the program, ali but one were trotted out, the un- finished event being the race for horses of the 2:80 class, in which Highland Stranger and Aorsemount Boy were the only starters. High- lang Stranger was not anything like as good a horse as he has been upon other occasions dur- ing the season, while in. the. first heat Horse- mount Boy was at his best, trotting the mile handlly in 2:31, The stallion took the second heat easily in 2:35, and at {t8 close Horsemount Bd was found to bo bleeding from the nose, and was drawn, . . ..., The trial of Mr. Doughty's 6-year-old stallion Romeo, to bent 2:25, tho time made by himin the third heat of a race over the Central Park track two weeks ago, Wes looked’ forward to with great interest by the friends of his owner, ag the horse had shown himself capable of beat- ing the figures named by’ several seconds.

James O'Rourke played in every position the past season in tho ston team except those of - pitcher and second baseman. ‘The Clipper is at fault in saying that Troy was the only club that won eleven games in a series. ‘Tho Chicagos beat the Buffalos eleven times. During the past season Buffalohad 21 different layers; .

Had he run he would have gotten there and have scored on 0 hit; as it was, he was caught at the p.ute, and the game was'a tie. Clapp fafied to notify bim of the fine, and he knew nothing of it tilt it was retained out of, bis salary.

This new organization will have clubs in Cincinnatl, St. Lous, Detroit, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, and Chicago. The Enquirer calls on all age players jt0 hold thelr pence for a faw weeks, in order to give these new clubs a chanceto bid. ‘There isn’t the least danger that any player of prominence will join these paper clubs, and, if any of them are formed, they will be composed of what the League had no use for. ‘Tae Trinune has already exprosed’ its opin- ion on the alleged action of the League in Oust ing Cincinnat! from membership. It’ appears, however, that there Is still a chance that Cincin- nati will retain its membership, should the Di- rectors conform to’ the League requirements. ‘The Iegisiation with regard to Cincinnati at Rochester was as follows: The President of the Cinelnnati Club, Mr. Kennett, refused his assent to the agreement that was signed by every other club to abolish Sunday games and the sale of liquor onthe grounds. He asked for time to consult with the home Directory, and it was twico granted. Mr. Kennett declared repeat- edly that he deemea the legislation rirbt and wise, and caiculated to further not only the best interests of the game at-large, but alsoas « measure that would help, the Cincinnati Club. He said the ultimatum of the League was right, and @id not see how-it conld : consistently act otherwise, He then asked the individual opt fon of the clubs represented upon his propost- ‘thon to go home, reorganize on the basis of the ™most ‘recent ‘legisiation, ‘and present the new club a8-an ‘npplicant.. for _ mem- bership.
