minated Cleveland last year, and he IL
in the White House race for the future
for all he is worth. There Ia no limit TO
his ambition and he has far better
chance OF success than one would at FIRST
glance imagine. He comes from
pivotal state. He is present the strong
est democratic quantity In that state aud
he is making himself stronger every day.
There Is no man in the Senate who has
better political organization than Mr.
Brice. lie keeps a corps OF clerks con-
stantly at work sending out documents,
seeds and letters to his constituents, aud
he has studied the people Of Ohio so
that h. knows them almost down to in.
dividuals. Every editor In the state has
received from him a map, and nearly
every prominent democrat has a big
photograph Of Brice, which has been
mailed to him with the Senator's COM
pliments Throughout the back districts
YOU can find letters from Senator Brice
to leading farmers which are framed by
them and hung UP in their parlors as
mementoes of their acquaintance with
great man. All Of the colleges and
educational institutions get the Smiths
oman, geological survey and educational
reports, with what appear to be private
letters from Mr.. Brice, and every farmer
who could do his cause any good has
had one Of these horse books, which are
very hard TO get, but which Senator
Bricc's men have captured and sent out
in some way or other. Bficc is working
on a grand scale the same scheme that
one Of his agents, ex.Congressman lie
Fevre, worked when he was In the House.
Lefcvre confined II to his district. Brice
has extended II to the whole state Of
Ohio, and before this session is over the
scheme will probably include in one way
or other the leading democrats Of the
whole United States There is nothing
like personal contact or contact by letter
with a man to insure his vote and his
support. and Brice Is working this
thought TO the fullest extent. He Is
sparing no money to make himself felt
and his millions are merely tools in his
hands. A part OF his scheme is his big
social career at Washington, upon which
he has entered by renting the Corcoran
mansion and renodeling It at vast cx-
pense. He spent last year something
like 81 goo a month for his rooms at the
Arlington, and he gave one dinner which
is said to have cost him sI2,ooo. find
that this last fact is hurting him to some
extent In Ohio. Democrats who work
for 81 day are astounded at man
paying 81, 1000 for a single dinner, and
they can't understand how human
stomachs can eat so much money at one
time. He has given big dinner nearly
every week this season and his enter
tainments have been the finest Of the
year. lie started life, you known as
poor boy. He has made his own fortune
and the probability is that hecan be far
more extravagant in expanding II and
keeping the good will Of the people than
man who started life rich. He never
makes any fuss about his charity. but |
happen to know that he gives away
great deal TO the poor. Not long ago
he gave $500 to a church in little town
near Lima and during the late cold
snap he gave orders for hundreds Of
barrels OF flour to be bought and di.
s,ribu,ed to the poor in different parts OF
the country. FSANS G. -CAHrENrHs.
