The Presidency.
Robert T. Lincoln is the only surviv-
ing child of Abraham Lincoln, the
' Martyr President. He has filled the
important public positions of Cabinet
officer and minister to England with
admitted credit, and it is only natural
that one who bears a name so reveren-
ced by the American people should be .
discussed as a presidential possibility.
It has beena matter of surprise in
many sections of the country that the
name of Robert T. Lincoln has not
been seriously pressed upon the Repub-
lican Conventions of later years for the
Presidential nomination, as it is every-
, where Conceded that he is much more
than the usual “son of his father.”
. Why he has never been thus pressed
for President is perhaps best explained
byarecent interview he gave on the
subject. In this interview Mr. Lincoln
says: “I can imagine no greater mis-
fortune to befall me than to become
President of the United States,” and in
the same interview he added: “I view
With utter abhorrence even the 'men-
tion of my name for that high place.”
To these emphatic deliverances he gave
as his reasons for not looking wistfully
to the Presidency, that the President
“is pestered to death” by importunate
’place hunters; that he is allowed no
peace, and is compellad to hide him-
self in order to perform his official
duties. This is all very true, but those
who know Mr. Lincoln intimately well,
know that his heart and soul has never
been healed of the horrible wound of
his father’s martyrdom. He could
never bea happy man occupying the
seat his immortalized father was torn
from in such tragic horror and the
recollection of which has ever shadow-
ed in deepest gloom his own life.
These deliverances from the son of
Abraham Lincoln explain why he is
unwilling.r to let the prestige of his
father’s great name aid him to become
a possible successor to his father’s dis-
tinction as an American President.
for contra, Senator Sherman in a re-
cent interview with open frankness and
manly honesty, said :
“Were I a younger man, I should
again seek the presidency. It is an of-
.iice Lhzivelonged to fill. To be the
chief magistrate of this republic has
been my dream and hope for almost a
"quarter of a century.”
Senator Sherman is a rarely able, ex-
perienced, estimable, upright and sen—
sible man, but his failure to put himself
in warm touch with the great masses of
the people, in the sense that Henry
Clay, Abraham Lincoln and James G.
Blaine were men of the people and
worshiped by the people, honored as is
his name. has made him an impossible
candidate for the Presidency; and he
doubtless now accepts the inevxtable
and unavailing, though with unconccal-
ed regrets.
President Harrison and Senator Sher-
man are of that class of public men
whom all respect, but while rever-
encing their names and characters, the
masses do not love and admire them to
the extent of that idolatry, as notably
they did, Clay, Lincoln and Blaine.

Stole Shoes.
The shoe manufactory of Fancher
Cu. at New Canaan was entered Monday
night. Access was gained to the build-
ing through awmdow near the boiler
room.
It would appear that alter havin;
A7
gained entrance the robbers leisure}, F
proceeded to assert out shoes of valu- .
and which they placed in sacks o
bags, leaving shoes of a lesser value
scattered about the floor.
No watchman is employed at the fac-
tory and the first intimation there was
of the robbery was on the arrival of the
engineer whose attention was attract-ed
to the open window through which the
burglars had entered.
' He immediately made an investiga-
tion, and becoming satisfied that a rob-
bery had been committed, lost no time
in adv;sing a member of the firm.
'i'he factory is located outside of the
limzts Covered by the borough watch-
man, who does not recall having seen
any suspicious characters about during
the night.
Aboutiorty pairs of shoes were stolen,
valued at perhaps $75.
It is understood that the firm will
place a watchman in their factory, and
that the next time a burglar carries
away any shoes he will take a few
ounces of lead along with him.

mitiees in the following towns in Hart-
lord county have not made returns to

Trustful Thompson Said to Have Lost a
Fortune In Ten Years.
LOCKPORT, N. Y., Nov. 1.—Calvin
Thompson, a wealthy farmer of Cambria,
this county, was chloroformed at his home
by two masked men and robbed of nearly
$5,000, a short time ago. Thompson of-
fered a reward of $500 for the arrest of the
thieves and last week awell dressed stran-
ger appeared at the old man’s house, rep—
resented himself to be a government de-
tective, and said he was anxious to assist
in bringing to justice those who had swin-
dled a. confiding old man.
Thompson received the alleged detective
with open arms. The latter went to the
village hotel, where for several days he
lived on money borrowed from Thompson.
Finally, after borrowing money on various
pretexts until the total sum reached a
large amount, he announced to the farmer
that he had all the evidence necessary to
convict the thieves, and bad the old man
accompany him in a carriage to this city
ostensibly to secure the sheriff’s assistance
in arresting them.
After reaching the outskirts of the city
the bogus detective whipped up the horses,
jumped out and disappeared. The twice
victimized farmer drove into the city,
where he lodged another complaint.
It is said by Thompson’s relatives that
he has been robbed of a. fortune by confi-
dence men during the last ten years»
