approached Justice schwab's headquarters, and, peer

CONFERENCE.
The lion had lain down with the lamb, and IL was
really very hard TO tell which tho lion and which
the lamb, SO happy and confidential tho two
leaders. No sign OF war was there, hut peace ana
harmony. which would have scandalizcd Tammany
tribe, and certainly did puzzle the adhercnts
OF the uncompromising schwab. Seated at
one OF tho litto tables OF the beer
saloon was tho magnificent form OF Governor DORIS
heimcr, picture OF elegance and manly beauty that
would rejoice the heart Of fashion plato artist,
while 10 hts immediate front, sohwab. careless
and Indifferent but polite aitor his way, poeed
himself on tho odge OF table and listened

say that he put on airs and that no treated his
visitor with urbanity. doiug his best to put him
At hts ease. but at the Same time there
epread his face Q broad smilo OF cynical
observation, Which, II IL wero translated into
purc American language, would read 'sWnat docs

on his s,de displayed oil tho tact rss class Albany
politician anxious to make . point without giving
anything away. IL duel OF skill, and, though
lrst sight tho combat seemed unequal one, tho
issue did not prove It to DO so.
THE HISTORY OF MEETING.
schwab on hts guard for tho visit not an
uncx expected one. About two weeks ngo o very nice
gentleman called at Schwab's beer saloon, and.
hGvtBE refreshed himself with fow glassos
OF lager tho visitor began q conversation the ALL
tender chord OF schwnb's heart, ADD he poured out
The faith that is In him after tho manor OF OF
those musical Instruments which. set going,
piuy all the thor programme unless brought
M by some turn oil a crank Schwab's visitor was
however. too polite to put tho stopper and at tho
end OF the explanation which had been given him. do
clarcd himself a convert to sociaiislic doctrines
and delighted with his newly madc acquaintance.
Everything was delightful Schwab,s beer the
best in the CITY, aud hts doctrines worthy OF
and good man-indeed, all goo1 men should embrace
them. Then apropos Of good mon, the visitor asked
II Mr. schwab had had the good fortune Of
ing tho eminent Lieutenant Governor Of Now York
State. Schwab who is out-and-out cm,otte OF
democrat, dryly stated that he didn't know DORIS
heimer. HIS visitor told him II was great pity. Two
such dstin men should not remain In ignorance
Of each other; they should be brothers, and work
hand In hand for tho redemption oil humanity. JUS
tus, who began 10 .smoi q rat" replied with dry
sIndccd," but his newly made friend, nothing
daunted, went TO describe tho Lieutenant Cover
nor's virtues. He ieet thrcc In height, o
splendid type Of humanity, quito big enough to oil
any once in tho State; then hc might bavc
been q German had he not had tho mis-
fortune to have beon born an American; however,
mis- sympathies wero with that '.FatherIand" which
no was born out Of This aud much more spoke the
nice gentleman who had tasted schwabs beer and b.
came confidential. However, as the socialist showed
but little enthusiasm. the gentleman left. Before
going away, however. no gave Mr.. schwab hts nnmo
o. Kingman Page, and left with assurances OF
interest and friendship. Days passed and the Incl
cent had almost been forgotten by Mr.. schwab, who.
ike other distinguished citizens, Is In tho habit OF
meeting with all kinds OF people and listening 10 TIE
most varied suggestions.
MAmoMEr MOUNTAIN.
But one day last week as he engaged in pouring
out the welcome lager his door was darkcned by
hts strange visitor, and Mr. Page stood be-
fore him In the flesh. The subject OF socialism was
once broachcd, and, after some discussion about
tho platform and the principles OF the party Mr.
Page expressed himself q convert TO social
ism. Ho obliging and was
wiling TO swallow tho platform whole. Then
approaching tho real business OF tho VISIT.
no suggested that Mr.. schwab should pay
the Lieutenant Govcrnor visit, that high function
ary was we'll affected toward tho creed, and
ANXIOUS to mako the acquaintance OF SO shining a
light as Justus schwab. However tho socialist leader
did net swallow tho bait: he s too big nsh to DO
caught with small hook, SO no contentcd himself with
saying that Lieucn Governor Dorshcimcr wanted
10 him be would have TO his beer saloon.
This pieco OF democracy rather TOOK Pages breath
away, but he too good a dipIomatist 10 allow his
temper DO ruled, aud he took his departure with
renewed expressions OF cd consideration.
As a. was evident that como occult angling was
going on 10 onlcA waters Schwsb called 10 some OF
hts sociaiistic friends and took tpcir advice
on tho conduct TO DO purgued. Ito was
told 10 meet tho Lieutenant Governor u he
would como to him, but not on any
account to allow himself be persuaded TO 90 out OF
his way to seek tho Official schwab had not long

few days and informed tho socialist leader that the
Lieutenant Governor would do himself tho honor to
visit his beer saloon yesterday afternoon and discuss
