forces at Chicago. Senator Sawyer and
Senator Harrison entered the Senate to-
gether, and as Western Senators had many
common interests. Although Senator Saw
yer was once an ardent Blaine man, the
events Of this winter put him In tho oppo-
site ranks, and he forgot his years when he
reached Minneapolis aud worked like the
youngest man night and day. Those who
have known the Totund Wisconsin lumber
man for the 80 years ne has been in Con-
gress claim that he has not changed in looks
since the day when this queer little Humpty
Dumpty man first held up his hand for the
oath. After living here % years, and as he
says paying enough rent To buy dozen
houses, he turned to and built him
broWnstone castle on Connecticut ave-
nue. that has been one of the
most talked about houses here. Carte
blanche was given the architect, VINO
finished it down To the pincushion on the
bureau and handed it over intact. The
owner Is a man of the simplest habits and
tastes, and lives among the artistic Spien-
dors OF his home quite blind and indlffer-
emit; but his friends never tire of telling
him how beautiful it is. A married daugh-
ter, Mrs. White, spends part of each year
with him, and her diamonds and decollete
gowns are the talk of the town. Otherwise
he Is alone in his big castle, and there the
great conferences of his State and his party
go on. Caricatursts might easily make a
wise spider ont Of this little round headed
round bodied man, and certainly none know
better how to stretch the web and entangle
the enemy than this shrewd man, who
never saws the air nor makes speeches, and
whose writing is confined to signing his
name. But without talking so much or
| spelling paper he can do more real wor K
| than the most eloquent pat together, and if
the campaign is handed ever to him the
President may trust to its being well man
aged.
