The Sully County watchman. (Clifton, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1894, 1888-09-22

The old-fashioned American country
tavern, with it's generous and well-cooked d
viands, has nearly vanished. Foreign
born cooks ruin coffee. The bread is
from the bakers, and seldom fome made.
The rolls are heavy. The corn bread is
but hot sweet cake, through the mania
for putting SO much sugar in the batter.
The green corn in summer is as likely TO
be common field corn as sugar corn,'
since the cook from Ireland, England,
France or Germany does not know the
difference. The "succotash" is altogether
another dish from that which the Indians
taught the whites to make. The pies are
also base subterfuges from the bakers.
The beans are spoiled through the
Yankee prediction for sweeteniug them
with molasses. The freshly boiled,
mealy potato is a rarity. The soddsn
heavy, ater-soaked potato is eil-pervad-
irg. The hne raised, corn-fed, village
smoked hams is no longer tasted. The
"Indiau bread" baked all nigtt in pile
of hot Goals and ashes, is a phenomenon
now, confined to few localities where
old customs still linger.

To nearly all OF these gentlemen Mr. Fuller Is
personally known, and am assured that no
objection will be raised to him on tie Ropub-
llcan side.
When Mr. Farwell went TO the White House
last week to carry some re comm endations for
Mr.. Fuller from prominent Chicago Republi-
cans, the President asked II he Endorsed Mr..
Fuller himself.
L am not recommending anv Democrats to
Office" replied Mr.. Farwell, but will tell you
what will do. IL you will nominate Fuller
will get every Republican Senator 10 vote for
his confirmation, providing you will keep the
Democratic Senators straight. All Of our fell
lows will vote for Fuller, every man of Thorn.
for the only thing We know against him is that
he is a Democrat.
Tie President replied tia. it was a rretty
difficult thing TO get all the Democrats in tue
Senate TO vote for any one and he thought Mr..
Farwell would have an custer job than he.
Washington special to Chicago Tribune.l
The influences that brought about MIR. Full
lers appointments were vari)us Tho imine-
diate cause was Perhaps the opinion OF Son
ators Farwell and Cullom that he would be
confirmed without trouble. They did n go to
the White Hose t. urge the President to ap-
point him, but tnoy did represent that his
nomination was desire | by the lawyers and
ether citizens OF Illinois wit hout distinction of
party. One day The President somewhat eau
tously asked what the prospect would be for
confirming Mr.. Fuller. We'll" replied Sen
ator Iarwell -,u lom and will see TO il that
side OF the Senate is informed of his good
qualities If you can take care Of your S, majors.
Yours is tie easier work" replied the Presi-
dent, but he showed his pleasure. 1t is prob
pointment to himself as much to any one
else. He FIRST met MIR. Cleveland at Albany "A
month before the inauguration. John Oberly
was near the throne. aud among the lllinoisans
he introduced no one who made a letter i'm
preston on Mr.. Cleveland than Mr.. Fuller. He
did not want any Office, and the President soon
found that his advice was dsinterested. He
was consulted in all the Chicago appointments,
aud had much to do with the disowning o.
Carter Harrison by the administration.

As A LIT1ERATEUR.
Mr.. Fuller is first gentleman and lawyer.
and he IL more OF dilletante than a poiti-
clan. He loves books-Macaubay and al the
reading is as broad as 1t is incessant How he
manages TO turn out such prodigious grists
from his legal mill and at the same time keep
familiar with the whole range OF current
literature 10 a puzzle TO his friends. Yet he
does IL, and he would rather talk OF a new
book than OF new client. He takes
interest in the reading OF his friends, too.
and when given half a chance makes sugees-
tons 70 them which they sure TO thank
him for. He finds time 20 write good many

A poem OF thought and beauty ON the death OF
Grant came from bis pen, and he has on sew

AZ LAWYER.
IL is generally conceded that Mr.. Fuller stands
foremost at the bar in the chief inland city OF
the country. There may DO one, or two lawyers
in Chicago who maze more money, but they
are corporation attorneys aud Mr.. FULLER regu-
larly represents no corp rtton, and has always
declined such connections. His learning IL as
broad as his clientage is diversified. Cases OF
his appear in fully one hundred Illinois re-
ports, and many of his cases are known among
lawyers as leading ones, marking some new
departure, settling some disputed point or
confirming doubtful ono. For twenty years
he has certainly exercised greater influence
upon the decisions Of the supreme Court o.
