in one way or another fooled pretty
much everybody of Importance in his
party. He was at Minneapolis, endeav-
oring to accomplish certain thing, and
though his hand and his tongue have
lost none of their cunning he very soon
discovered that men were not influenced
by him as of yore. He could make little
or no progress, and in the end met fall
ure and defeat.
The lesson of this is that in politics
as in everything else honesty is the best
policy and will win most battles, The
man who starts out to win success by
fooling his friends will sooner or later
discover that he has no friends to fool.
During the Minneapolis convention
was often impressed with the UNIQUE.
almost commanding position which Mr..
Clarkson appeared to have in the prac-
tical affairs of his party. No one in such
demand as he. 1t seemed as if every
man in Minneapolis was eager to get at
Clarkson, if only for two minutes. Men
of all factions and elements wanted his
advice or help. All appeared to have
confidence in him, and soon discovered
why. 1t is because he is a frank, sin
cere man. He has keen analysis of
faces and motives, and is rarely i'm
posed upon; but for every honest in
quirer, whether of his way of thinking
about men and issues or not, he had a
willing ear, a quick brain, gentle, sery-
iceable speech.
AS / saw people fighting their way to
Clarkson's side thought of him as a
sort of rock in the r2idst of whirlpool
to which every weary swimmer strug-
gled in hopes of finding rest ana encour-
agement This is proud position To-
any man to occupy in great party, and
my hope is that Clarkson will get out of
politics before the game of greed, selfish
ness, treachery and revenge spoils or
ruins him. He is still strong, master
full, sympathetic, manly, but surround
ed by many men and influences which
do not tend to keep him so.
After Clarkson think Tom Platt, of
New York, attracted most attention and
was most sought for. Platt and Clark
son are of different stamp. The famous
New Yorker is not much of talker,
and only those who know him well
would think of approaching him. He
is secretive, sly, shrewd and very indus
trious. For week at Minneapolis he
scarcely slept. To get at him it was
necessary to rap on the door certain
number of times and give the counter
sign to the man on guard. Mr.. Platt
had no time to waste with Tom, Dick
and Harry. Yet there was sufficient
number of men whom Platt did want to
see to keep him busy from early fore
noon to daylight.
Platt could never be as popular as
Clarkson is, nor as popular as Depew.
He has not the winning way" But it
is mistake to suppose that because he
devotes all his energies to politics, be-
cause he is in politics sly, selfish, grasp
ing, Mr.. Platt is bad man. Platt is a
born politician. It is his only amuse-
ment His friends tell me he has no
ambition for Office for himself, though
there is no man in the country who

CHICAGO, June 16.-There is nothing
nalf SO interesting in these great national
conventions as the men who compose
and direct them. AS [ write the strong.
pushing, masterful men of the Demo-
cratic party are arriving in Chicago to
take part in the naming Of national can
didates. At Minneapolis we saw mag
nifcent outpouring of the brain, the
Drawn, the heart, the energy of the Re-
publicans.
Chief of them all, in my Judgment
and in popular estimation, was Chair
man Clarkson, Of the national commit
tee. He was generally recognized as
the most important man on the field,
not alone because of his high official
position, but because of his great ability,
his sincerity. A politician Clarkson is,
but of the highest and most admirable
type. He is a man who believes truth
fulness and good faith should be as
rigidly adhered to i9 politics as in any
of the other activities of life.
There are politicians who believe di-
rectly to the contrary, and who proceed
upon the theory that falsehood, decep-
ton, trickery are necessary accomplish
ments in the trade. [ have in mind now
a certain prominent and skillful politi-
clan, one who has won national fame
and high official station, whose weak
ness is of this sort. He thinks the high
est form of the art political consists in
''fooling people"
At this he has become such an adept
and has had so many OPPORTUNITIES to
exercise his peculiar powers that he has

AN INTERESTING RELIC.

The Engine That Figured in the An

Of the many relics of the civil war
to be seen at the Chicago Worlds fair
few will excite more, pathetic interest
than the famous General" the engine
with which James j. Andrews and his
squad of Federal scouts made their won
derful run on April 10, 1862. The
world is familiar with their story.
Under orders from General o. M. Mitch
ell they went down the Western and
Atlantic road to break communication
between Chattanooga and the points
south and east. Of the twenty-five
raiders eight, including Andrews, were
hanged, eight escaped, and the remain
ing six were exchanged in 1868.

tion, now occupying elegant quarters
and numbering among its members
some of the most brilliant and brainv
men in America, owes its existence to
the humorist who signs his articles
"Mark Twain" and whose numerous
bank accounts are kept in the name of
Samuel L. Clemens.
One night some years ago several
newspaper writers gave Mark a swell
ainner at aswell restaurant. He chafed,
fdgeted and when the cigars were
passed around exclaimed: "Boys. this
Is altogether too formal for me. Don't

They did.

Of Louis Meacham, baseball reporter of
the Chicago Tribune. "Poor old fell
low,'' sighed one of his friends; shis en-
tire assets consisted of the suit he wore
and ragged dollar bill we found in one
of his pockets"
Mark glared. 'It's a shame" he cried,
''that you don't organize. Form press
club, create fund, arrange to take care
of the sick, to aid the unfortunate and
to bury the dead. Make your rooms
bright and pleasant and get all the boys
to join"
Next daye preliminary meeting was
held at which the Press club had its
birth. Mark Twain suggested the idea;
Franc B. Wilkie, the first president,
now deceased, ssboomed" it with all the
energy of his assertive nature, and the
members are now quartered in sumptu-
GUS apartments, have thousands of dol
lars in bank and stand ready always to
give their friends good time, as in the
case of the coming convention.
In a certain sense the Whitechapel
GLIB is also creation of the newspaper
element. The grewsome character of
its fittings skulls, skeletons, hangmen's

in which a continent has been conquered

Carr-Seale, Of Salinas City, CAL, they
were simply overwhelmed with amaze
ment.
His most intimate friend did not sus-
pect him Of being ladies' man, and
very few knew that he even enjoyed
her acquaintance, but twenty-five years
ago he knew her well and loved her
ardently. She is daughter of Jesse d.
Carr, long known as the ''Sage of Sa-
linas" on account of his wisdom in
guiding Democratic councils. On his
first visit to California the two met,
loved and were betrothed. But trouble
arose, no one knows what, and they
parted in anger. She married Mr..
Scale and he a Minnesota lady.
His wife lost her mind by reason of a
long illness and drowned herself in
Lake Minnetonka, leaving one child, a
daughter. Mrs. Scale became widow,
but years passed before they met. It
was by the merest chance they did meet,
but the old love was soon rekindled;
they were second time engaged; he
went home to prepare for the event, and
Mrs. Scale was in hourly expectation of
telegram that all was ready when
there came instead the news of his
death.
After the melancholy romance comes
the unpleasant prosaic fact. His daugh-
ter, Mrs. Won Wedelstaedt, of Minneap-
oils, was pleased with the prospect of
having Mrs. Scale for stepmother, but
objects very vigorously to her as heir
of half the estate. She will contest it
to the bitter end, and if Mrs. Scale per-
sists very interesting lawsuit will re-
suit.
