Senator-eleot Higgins acquitted bim-
self very prettily an, standing in the door
Of his domicils, he responded to the
greeting Of the Young Mems Republican
Club Friday night. It was an occasion that
comes to few men--to reap the fruit Of
an accidental nomination by On acoi-
dental msjority-and it was fitting that
one so favored by blind luck should have
striven to show of to the best advantage.
And this Mr.. Higgins had done. II is
not fattery to say that he looked real
nioo, and that he talked better than
usual. 1t was unaracious on the part of
his Republican brethren that 80 few were
there to hear him. Everything was
favorable for creditable turnout. The
hour aud the place had been we'll adver-
tised by the city press. The weather was
oil that could be desired. The stars
twinkled brightly overhead and the
newly risen moon beamed genislly. The
