TO me with positive assurances that the
appointment of particular man will
render certain the electoral vote OF
their state for Benjamin Harrison.
Representatives and senator's from every
state, north, south, east and west, have
come TO me with this same story, and !
know Of but one state which has not
been misrepresented TO me in this mat
ter by enthusiastic politicians, and that
is the state Of Texas. The machine
politicians of the state Of Texas viii
probably realize the fact that 1t would
be impossible for me or any other man
to absorb and digest any such story
concerning that state, and hence they
have not only wisely, but very kindly,
refrained from assailing my credulity in
that manner"
II you receive an appointment, out
side of the civil service, it will be after
all the tribulations indicated above, and
many more There will be anxiety on
your part until the matter is settled;
but the tribulations will all be upon
your senators and the representative of
your district. These public men have
trials of which you do not dream. Our
political system rests upon the county
politicians. Every member of congress
depends upon the county organizations
for stalwart support. This is necessary
in the first place in order to secure re-
nomination; and in tho next place, TO
carry on the campaign and be elected.
The senators also look to these county
organizations and pray for harmony in
them. Consequently when the chair
man of & county committee says that
an appointment must be secured for a |
certain party worker, the senators and |
the representative feel that something
must be done. When they see that the
matter is urged and demanded, you
cannot imagine how earnestly and per-
they haunt the executive de-
ing cabinet ministers to make vacancies, /
by removing some poor fellow whose |
political backing is weak. Thus it often (
happens that some good man who needs |

will be no longer required by the de-
partment." Immediately thereafter an
order is issued for the appointment of /

county chairman is satisfied, the repre-
sentative breathes more easily and the
look more cheerful for a few
days, until another county is heard

In conversation with a member of the

there is only one state in the union
which has an absolutely harmonious

Of appointments upon all ac-

A variety That Grows Nowhere Else In
tho World.
The department OF Piuho, in the
northwestern part Of Peru, produces n
variety of cotton not found In any
other part Of the world, and which,
judging from the experiments that have
been made in our southern states, Egypt
and India, viii not mature elsewhere.

planted in other parts of Peru, but the
cotton produced from il Is found TO re-
vert 20 that Of the common varieties.
This cotton is Of the long staple variety,
but the fibers are Of unusual length,
and crinlkly, and SO closely resemble
wool that II Is difficult 10 distinguish
them. This cotton is accordingly used
as an adulterant for high-grade woolen
goods II gives them strength without
injuring their character in other re-
spects. The demand for this cotton is
large, and 1t commands high price,
but the supply of II is small, as the dis

The nomination of many county
officers has already been made, and
now TO change the name Of the party
would be to introduce a great deal Of
confusion and it would possibly result
in the defeat of some of our friends in

mated by us. Deeming that to be the
