neapolis. To great extent new men
are at the front, and just how they can
maintain themselves is what the coun-
try wants to know.
Let me make a review. Stockbridge
comes from Michigan. He is horse
man with a million. They raised celery
on the flats below the house, and the
lowlanl out of which he has made
money were once regarded as va!ueless.
Today they produce for the table per
acre more than any other soil in the
United States Stockbridge is for Blaine,
but as much as he can represent any
thing he is for Alger afterwards. So
DR.. Gallinger comes from New Hamp-
shire. He is an ordinary countryman
who has made good showing in the
Granite state. He tried to beat Chandler
for the senate but simply demonstrated
Chambers power. The latter was a
thorough politician, while the country
doctor was Sentimentalist.
Hatton and CIarksOn.
Clarkson. the chairman of the ma
tiOnal committee, and Frank Hatton, OF
the Washington Post, are both from the
same state. They have little i'll COM
mon. llattOn knows something. lie
wears spectacleS and enjoys the reputa-
ton of having been postmaster general
in Arthur's cabinet, which Charles
Emery Smith, whom General Harrison
appointed minister to Russia, character
ICES as the administration OF the
Graces." How things have changed.
Tom Palmer will appear on the scenes
today. He used to be United States
senator from Michigan. afterwards
minister to Spain, now president OF the
worlds fair. He keeps what is called
dhe Log Cabin farm, down near Detroit,
and sells Jersey milk by the bottle.
This huSbandmln with his millions
kind of looks towards the presidency
himself in case of a serious conflict.
Isn't it funny that for the first time
beyond the recollection of man Ohio has
no candidate for the presidency? The
whisper about John Sherman is lost be-
fore 1t reaches the ear. and Mckinley is
simply out of consideration. He has
contented himself with nesting under
the wing of John Sherman, rather than
asserting his own power, if he had any.
Possibly no man in public life ever
dropped so hard and so suddenly as this
tariff exponent, whose bill John Sher-
man once characterized as a Yankee no
ton product.
Three Messenger BOYS.
Think of Harry Oliver coming back
into public life after being president of
the tariff commission which framed the
only equitable bill presented to con-
gress. Oliver is a great character. Next
TO Andrew Carnegie, with whom he
began life. as a messenger boy,
he is the richest iron mas
ter in Pittsburg. Oliver is an
Irishman, Carnegie a Scotchman.
Boz Pitcairn, the present superintend-
ent of the Pennsylvania railroad, was
another one of the messenger boys. lie
is a Scotchman. All of them are now
many times milliOnaires. All of them
made so by the good Offices which
Col. Thomas A. Scott, OF the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad, gave them.
Maine comes into the convention with
rather singular condition Charlie
BoutelIe, who lives at Bangor, edits a
newspaper, and is a member of con-
gress. He is a fighting character
for Blaine. The rest of the
Maine delegation rather anchor
their gable ends and look wise.
Tom Reed is the wisest man of them all
and the most arbitrary. He is not par
tieularly interested in anybody. except
Tom Reed. With brains, power and
venom enough to endOw hurricane, he
quietly handles the situation, conscious
OF his own strength.
