SENATOR RIDDLEBERGER OF Virginia is con-
WINGED that his coming retirement from public
life will send sensation of relief across the
water to England. He feels that he has had
more joy in twisting the tail Of the British lion
than any American who ever stood in the SEN

land has suffered more from his taunts and
trembled more at his threats than she ever did
at the aggressive thrusts of Patrick Henry.
Surely if Riddeberger is happy in these opinions
il would be cruel TO upset them.

position is no sinecure, as he has no FEWER than
fourteen of them to look after, including several
dogs, two magpies, an enormous rat and
diminutive bear.

Cleveland showed Daniel Dougherty, the

when the famous orator lectured in Washing
ton. Mr.. Dougherty, the story goes. wrote a
polite note to Mr.. Cleveland asking him to
attend the lecture The Presidents reply was
a curt refusal owing TO the pressure Of official
business" When it is remembered that MIR.
Dougherty not only presented Cleveland's name
at st. Louis, but did great WORK Tor the demo-
cratic nominees on the stump d lring the cam
