who succeeds him, even if it be as harm
less an accident as Senator S. ]. R. Nc
MILAN.
All me! there used to be man who loved
Window, and in the halcyon time when hi
was United States marshal pushed his in
terests with all the fervor, potency, and re
sources of an Office which was mainly due
to WINDOWS reciprocal attachment for his
dear McLaren, soft of voice, bland of man
nsr, and winning of eye. Now, alas
Denny is marshal, and is William Win
dom's accounting reminder of that peculiar
and accommodating trade with Edgertor
where Denny has a part of the boot, and 6
sorry substitute for the useful, discreet-yea
and Observation-Disclosures Apparently the
deposed ex-marshal bears his late patron
NO resentment for his official decapitation
because there is melancholy magnani-
nifty about the manner of his speech fol
Window now-recalling as if he wore dead
all WINDOWS kindness and substantial
goodwill in the past, when tho ''grana old
Republican party"-you know the rest
Now, like Othello superseded by an insig-
nifcant Cassie, he might fall to studying
Hamlet, which seems to be the resource OF
all unoccupied persons at the present time
But, then, actors of the histrionic sort are
not very apt to come out Of the Official
tabernacle.
THE HOUSE OF HOPE.
Its actors have long engagements in
lucrative political berths, and while they
are generally too pious to say with the
candid Vanderbilt, "The public be d-dv'
they are quite as Indifferent to its verdict
80 the ring has its old sway, and its inter
ssts probably manipulated by their Gun
ming touch.
The portent of the November elections
is slow of application here. The old actors
on the political stage are rehearsing for
the same old business as if they were
everlastingly certain of former results.
And yet it requires no seer to forestall the
outcome of the late bitter struggle be-
tween Kindred and Nelson in the Fifth dis
trict, and between Dunnell and Window,
and all the other big and little fights in
this once harmonious Republican family.
Fletcher, then, is the speaker the Win
dom men want. Loren Fletcher is little
fellow who belongs in Minneapolis, and
whose name was once conspicuously be-
fore the public in characteristic attempt
to gobble that magnificent adventurer
Lulu NcIOOu 0OIOOu up Ill the br1t2Sn
frontier. He was captured himself, and
ruefully informed the precincts he had
quilted that he Twas in HI of fix" He
is low of voice, excessively cool and COL
iected in manner-smooth, persuasive, to-
tally INSCRIPTIONS, adroit, and ''an active
little rooster among the boys" His usual
designation by Hall, of the GLOBE, is Lit
tie Villain Fletcher" He is
IGNORANT OF EVERYTHING
save self-advancement by his own meth
DDS. For the rest, "books never had moth
ing to do with his success" as one of our
nobs says.
The speaker the Window men do not
want is Gordon E. Cole, of Rice county.
There is one reprehensible thing to be said
of Cole, that he is willing, with the best
reputation as lawyer and the most I'M
furnished record as citizen, to dabble in
politics and to be identified with a set of
knaves, useful, perhaps, for the recognized
dirty work, but damaging TO self-respsct.
Fletcher or Cole?-that's the question.
Fletcher and Window is the answer.
