from political sources Is estimated al
$4,000 per annum. He sports
diamond shirt-studs worth several
thousand dollars and carnelian nose
set with rublcs. Bill did hang around
the hotels and their bai-fooms, but l
fear was out of his native element.
He could not gain access to the social
sphere of congressman, and for the
first time In his life, when an election
was pending, confessed himself n
cipher. John Kelly, too, thought
that with Tammany at his back no
could force Cox into the speakers
chair. He Is very unlike McMullen.
His face Is attractive and manners
pleasing, aud In social intercourse Jno.
Kelly wins friends and potency. He
Is strong rather than brilliant
representative Of the Irish race. land IL
he had appeared upon the scene a
week earlier, might have wrought out
very different results of this election,
which crowns Carlisle with distin-
guished honors. Kelly carries the
vote of New York, as Billy McMullen
does that of Randall's district, In his
breeches pocket, and II only happened
that ut this hour New York, Pennsyl-
vania and the East have lost suprem
ncy In the congress Of the United
States, and that westward does the
star OF empire wcnd its way.
THE SOUTH AND WEST
Say what we will of 1t, Coke
Is prophet. Five years ago |
he declared In the senate that |
the very issue made In this
contest for the speakership should
override all others. A tariff for
revenue, and not protection, Is the
great practical question now submit
ted to the people. The West and
the South stand side by side and no
fanciful issue or subordinate purpose
can supplant this of which Carlisle, at
at this hour, Is the impersonation.
Cox represented the idea, rs well rs
Carlisle but the scepter has departed
from Judah and the West
chose 10 ally itself with the
South, and Western and Southern
purposes of revenue reform are enbod-
led In the man who shapes the action
of this congress in conformity with
Northen and Western theories of fl ,
nancial legislation. The East has gov
erned this Union aud devised its codes,
finance, in all It's forms and T,
for all its purposes, through ninety /;
years. But the end has come. We ,
may be beaten next year; but ultimate 4.
