Ex-Congressman George A. Anderson Of
Quincy, IL. who represented the twelfth die
tr;ct in the F.fs;eth Congress. is in the CITY, but
he lie not atsc- an office.
''ln my opinion he said 20 The srAB rep
resen:ative. the people Of Hlinoi. expect Mr.
Cleveland Will give u conservative admins
trat!on. The great questions with vhlch he
has to deal largely effect the western people
and particularly in agricultural districts like
M oSn. They are AFRAID. however, OF sudden
political revolutions. but are equally confident
that Mr.. Cleveland val bring order out Of
chaos
The lines between the two cid parties in my
district are and have been Ve-y closely drawn
and the third party has cut but little figure
thee. Our farmers are doing well, having a
good soil and being close 20 market. The feel
ing With us Is that the democratic party ~ the
party OF progress and viii give them tariff re-
form, which tho Republicans repeatedly prom
ised. buE failed 60 do. Mr.. Gresham IL very
well known aad popular in my community and
his appointment has cemented To the demo-
cratic party "a my state worry large indie
pendent body OF voters. While these voters
did not follow Mr. Gresham in o the democratic
party the fact that he was one Of them and has
SINCE been 50 handsomely recognized tends to
hold ihsir allegiance firmly 10 the democracy"
"If can see a man handle his fork" said

The hotel dining room i. the best place in
the world to study human nature and the man
ners and breeding o: our fellows. 1t seems odd
that people in this enlightened and advanced
age viii still feed themselves with .heir knives.
especially in irst-class hotel Yet instances
Of this habit are very frequent In nv opinion
a man who feeds himself with ms knife should
be boiled alive in Oh.
AS a RUE guests from Boston and New York
are the most correct IN their table deportment.
They are yerv eXactIug TO service aud all

which Is the proper way. IL may seem a trihe

his mouth he may be pardoned for putting the
point OF the spoon TO his lips. But when YOU

their elbow and pour their soup down their

While most OF the democratic Congressman
are wearing themselves thin over the conflict
ing demands made upon them by would-be
postmasters, one of the few who shares an ex-
ception from this rule is Congressman Tim
Campbell OF New York. Some Of the Congress-
men have as high as from 800 20 500 post offices
in their respective distric.s. each one Of which
has from three 10 a dozen applicants. But
Mr.. Campbell has his woes and troubles just
the same, though they roll lightly of his broad
shoulders.
He represents one Of the most thickly pop
ulated tenement districts in the metropolis, and
there are several blocks therein which have .
population of from 1000 10 10. 300 souls each
Mr.. Campbell is at present in Washington, and
there is method in his madness. SO long ~ he
STAYS here his constituents can't jump on him
and ask fayors.
He lives on Columbia street between Grand
and Broome streets, right IN the heart Of the
east side tenement district. When he sallies
forth in the morning he cautiously opens the
door and peers out Opposite his house 10 q
small body of his constituents. who are anr-
iouslv awaiting his coming. Up on the corner
OF Broome street is another army. Down
