ONE of the real mysterious incl
dents of this campaign will probably
never be explained, and that is:
What ever possessed an old astute
politician like the Hon. Bill Chan
dler, secretary Of the navy, to attack
Mr.. Hendricks? Mr.. Lawrence Bar
rett once related story to the ef-
feet that many years ago he was to
give one-ilight performance at
Cairo, ILL.,, and found on arriving
there that old Dan Rice was adver-
tised for an afternoon and evening
performance with his circus. In the
afternoon the egreat tragedian strolled
into the tent and found livery poorly
patronized. Old Dan soon appeared
and made a short speech, as follows: !:
s'Ladies and Gentlemen-I always
thought had friends in Cairo, but
this doesn't look like it. There are
not enough to pay for the feed for
my horses, and when look around
at the beggarly array of benches /
wonder why I ever came here-but
when I saw the posters on the fence,
1 said to myself, what in - is
Barrett here for?'" The average
Indiana Republican when he read
Chandler weak defense Of the steal
in the navy department, no doubt
thought as old Dan, what in blank is
ne here for?

Som persons are hankering after

= general purpose breed of cattle,

They may banker IN vain. There

but the two purposes Of beef and

illustration of this fact that to COM
