FROM TIE Detroit free Press
The other day sat down to dinner in the
| CAT house, at Louisville. Next to me sat a
gentleman whom at first sight thought knew
Inc second look and his own glance OF unrecoG-
ntion at me showed me that was mistaken
Alter Few moments | saw why it that
thought recognized him. He bore a singular
HkeueSs to the cartoons of John r. Fellows, the
district attorney of New York, the man who de-
Ieated De Lancey Nicou, and tue man about
| "nom President Cleveland wrote a letter of
! Recommendation, ~ it were. Fellows picture
had appeared at the time in many of the comic
papers, and my neighbor at the dinner table
| bore great resemblance to the cartoons. At
| last said:
do you know that you look very much like
John X. Fellows Of New York;
Yes he answered. Il have often been
taken for him. DO YOU know him.
NO, do not; but nave seen u great many
pictures OF him in the papers. Do you know
II sm slightly acquainted with him, regret
Then he is not a friend Of yourss"
ON the contrary, an enemy"
We'll, IL must be rather embarrassing to look
Ike PERSONS worst enemy"
On, don't know that Fellows is my worst
enemy, although perhaps he is"
Then imagine you didn't vote for him on
the occasion of that memorable styuggls?"
NO, sir; did not. SIN did not vote for
Mr.. Nicoll, SO it is a sort Of q 'saw-of' between
Fellows and myself"
We'll, l would have gone further. would
have voted for Ncol, My sympathies were
with him in the contest"
Then you are not New York mani"
NO, I'm from Detroit"
"Ah! did not think a local election would
have had any interest so far west"
Far west? Bless you Detroit is not far west
Detroit IL an eastern city 1t has the stability
or the east With the ente prise of the west
Must be a wonderful town"
"Oh, il is What IS Nicoll doing nowg"
II believe he is practicing law He is a good
lawyer"
Il should think you would have been Sorry
YOU did not vote for bin, when you must have
/ felt that it was the right thing TO do
We'll, none Of US do rs we should YOU know
| Besides person seems to soc these things
clearer after they are than he does at the
tlrne. anyhow, 1t wonld not have made any
! difference with the result"
| That's so. BY the way, what sort of q dis
| tTict attorney Is Fellows makingE How does
! the average man regard hiin.''
well, it's IKE this; Fellows is very much like
| The rest OF us. He IS neither as good as his
friends try TO make out, nor is he as had as you
OF might think him to be. In word, he y
! bus enemies as good as they send
y suppose YOU know that
We'll, l ought 10 Fellows has done me a
good deal of harm in his time and yet will say
] this for him, that If wanted dollar | don't
! know OF any man who would lot me have it
| quicker than John f. Fellows -
u don't wonder man like that is popular -
That 9 the sort OF man he is. Now he
knows very well what | think of him, yet he
would Just as soon take drink with me as with
you"
The stranger aud myself then talked on other
! subjects | found MIN to be a very well-in-
| formed man and a most fascinating taker He
| was III ract one OF the most genial men ] ever
| met.
The next day was paralyzed to read the fol-
| lowing item Ia the COUrler-JoHrnGl:
John Z Fellows. the district attorney of
| New YORK city, passed through Louisville yes
| terday on his way east. He stopped at the Gait
house, and left Ga the L. and \. train at mid
night.
