/ John j.. 1rgalls was 4 man who, would
do the same. thing. As Senator Vest
5Ionce said Of him, he would rather .srounl
g period than make a poin tt.'' q Z ON Reed
would rather say q bright and witty
thing than NAL q friend. Two instances
may be recalled of Reeds manner Of
treating people. Both men were Re-
publicans and cranks Of that party, and
SO recognized everywhere Elijah "a.
Morse Of Massac husetts, who makes him.
self absurd on every occasion, was
screaming one day for 3recogn on. Fin
ally Reed told him. that he. would 1ecog-
nize him. and to call his hill up by ,lnani-
NOUS consent, at the same time sending
word to Joe Cannon to object to: it.
Morse got recognition, made a little
speech about the interesting woodchuck
lie hadin charge and Cannon objected to
lit. The story was too good for Cannon
to keep, and he told it untilzit finally
reached the ears of Morse. OF course he
was mad, and went up to see Reed, and
lsaid
What do you mean by giving me rec
i ognition and then sending word to Cam
non to object2''
Without being the least impressed BY
having been caught in what he had done,
Reed drawlea out
Because wanted to get rid Of YOU .
And that was all the explanation that
Morse ever got.
The other man was Picker Of South
Oak ota, who never failed during his
i first term in congress in putting the Re
publican party in a bad light on prohi-
bition. He was assisted by the Demo-
crats when they did not go on record.
| Picker had a way Of having outrageous
prohibition amendments attached to bills
in committee of the whole when the Z
Democrats didnot care to lave their votes
recorded, and then on the yea and nay
vote they would defeat the amendment,
placing the Republicans in some Of the
prohibit infected districts IN a bad way
on the recorded vote. Every time Pick
Ter made a break of this kind it was
fully explained to him and he was argued
with, but he would always close the ar
gument by saying: '3
ssssAVell, let the Republican party adopt
prohibition, then they will be all right
Reed as speaker Of the house under
took to demonstrate with Picker one
time and, being met BY the same answer,
he wet back to the speaker chair and,
as he relieved the man who had been act
ing temporary speaker, said:
81 never fully understood what. was
meant in the Bible by the wild ass foal'
Until / saw Pickle
Of course every body appreciates these
things, and when they are uttered they
are repeated with a good deal Of delight.
It is only when they come home to the
men they are aimed at that it makes
| them Tom Reeds enemies. Tom Reed
has been long enough in public life and
Isaid enough good things and true things
to have made him an imp possibility as i
presidential candi date. Blaine called
IConkling a turkey gobbler, or said he
had the strut Of q turkey gobbler, and
Blame failed to carry New 7 ork ID 1884.
