Bnyart! as an exoellent candidate to pit walnst Mr. Blaine. Washington, the Meooa of politicians, Is alive wltli the enthusiasm that portends the great strength of the subject of our Illustration In the rank hiuI file of Ms party. ? Thomas F. Bayard is a member of one of tho nrttt famous families in the flute of Delaware. The flist American Bay ard was Nicholas, a brorher-in-law of Governor Peter Stuyvesant, and a rigid Huguenot. The statesman who now most conspicuously honors tho family, is one of several of Its members who have served their country with distinction in the Fedoral Congress. He was born October 20, 1828, was tho "*'lu?l?Ing" School, " "miugten. and as a boy aspired to be come a merchant. But with youth ottuie tho tnore gerterous ambitiou which lias borne fruit hi his popularity to-day. In 1851 Mr. Bayard was admitted to tho Bar. . He opened an office and in a few years commanded remunerative prao tlce. Up to 1869 he steadily pursued his business as a practicing lawyer, with but one break, namely, in 1853. when he served for a short time as United States District Attorney. He suoceeded his father as Senator In 1860, and was re elected In 1876 and 1881. His position Is UiHt of a leader, due not only to su perior ability, but unassailable integrity and honor. Senator Bayard was a staunch ?friend of the South during the period of reconstruction; a "hard money" man when Influential men in both the leading political parties favored the payment of patlonal obligations on other than the and a member of the minority in the Jhlectowl Commission. Heatands in a* high a position before the country to*day as any Democratic statesman, and wouia certainly prove a strong candidate If nominated for tho PrGMdeu^y, Tht lapse of time during the cauvaas would Inoreaso his strength.

We never knew a man to advertise his wares liberally and stead ily that it did not pay. Yet there are thousands of manufacturers and tens of thousands of men, having articles which they declare ought to be '"n every house hold in the country," who advertise as gingerly and closely as though they had at heart no faith in it at all. How can they expect to got their goods ahy where unless Bomo knowledge of the artiole gets Into the family newspaper?
