A CAMPAIGN SECRET GIVEN

In the campaign,of 1884 the two candidates
for Governor in pivotal Western State
arranged for a series of joint discussions.
Both men were popular, both of fine appear
ance and were so well matched in mental
force and as orators that the contest be-
tween them promised TO be a magnificent
one. For several weeks the scales balanced
evenly.
But one day the brilliant Republican can
didate came up ailing. He seemed overcome
and spoke laboredly. The next day he was
less effective. Later he was compelled to
ask his opponent for a postponement of GER
tain appointments, which was granted. Be
fore the campaign ended he had abandoned
the field altogether.
Meantime the Democratic candidate con-
tinued his canvass seeming to grow stronger,
cheerier and more effective with each sue
ceeding week. He was elected. One evening
in Eecember, while entertaining several gem
tlemen, he said
