A SCRAP OF POLITICAL HISTORY

A writer in the New York Adver
tiser gives what purports to be thu
true history of the causes which lee
to the nomination of Benz. Harrison
in 1883 1t explains what has been
regarded as somewhat of a mystery
and also gives the reason why Johr
Sherman, who was a leading candi
date, failed to secure the prize.
The New York delegates had been
voting solidly for Mr.. Depew, but had
arrived at the conclusion that it was
impossible to secure his nomination
Mr.. Depew gave dinner to the New
York delegation. At this dinner the
Big Four-Messrs. Depew, Hiscock
Plat, and Miller-were expected
to come to some conclusion as to the
man they would support when Mr..
Depew's name should be withdrawn.
The story is as follows:
at was Saturday night and the
dinner began late The first speaker
was ex-senator Hiscock, who was
avowedly for Senator Allison. He
made speeches on his record and it
was Sunday morning when he ceased.
His propositions were numerous
and not one was acted upon. The
next and most effective speaker was
ex-senator Miller. He began his
speech with some frank statements
which were as witty as they were
true and which went to every dele
gate present. Then he advocated
John Sherman as the ablest and best
man for the Empire State delegation
to support His speech met with al.
most instant approval and before the
banquet was over each and every del.
egate had agreed to support John
Sherman, Of Ohio.
THE next day the wires were kept
hot telegraphing to John Sherman
trying to extract from him some def.
mite pledge in regard to the Federal
patronage i'll New York in case he
| should be elected President. He alb.
solutely and categorically refused tc
make any pledge. In effect his an
swers were that if he could not be
President untrammeled he did not
wish to be President at all. In the
mean time Senator Elkins was in In.
diana, and Monday after the Satur.
day banquet he delivered the now IA
nous letter of ex-President Harrison
to Mr.. Platt. That letter killed
John Sherman S chances and the har-
nony dinner given by Mr.. Depew al
which it was agreed to support Mr.,
Sherman did not result in a single
Empire State ballot for the Buckeye
State candidate.
after all, though, Mr.. Depew is
right, for his dinner nominated Ben
jamin Harrison. 1t made certain big
Republicans demand Federal patron
age of Senator Sherman, which he
refused. Then Mr.. Elkins exhibited
the letter from Mr. Harrison and the
New York delegation voted for him
and nominated him"

Howl Learned to Ride the Bicycle.

Howl Learned to Ride the Bicycle.
Miss Willard has gained for herself
place among the strong and benif-
icent figures of our land that entities
her utterances upon any subject tore
spectful attention. The bicycle has
come prominently to the front as a
means of popular locomotion, and as
a medium Of pleasant exercise.
Therefore, when so attractive writer
as Miss Willard discourses upon SO
attractive subject as the bicycle the
audience is large and enthusiastic.
She tells how, at "the ripe age Of So
she learned to ride bicycle, aud by
SO doing, saved her health. The rea-
sons which she gives for learning &c
ride the bicycle are interesting: "If
am asked to explain why I learned
the bicycle | should say | did it as an
act Of grace. if not of actual religion
The cardinal doctrine laid down by
my physician was: Live out of doors
and take congenial exercise, but from
the day when at 10 years of age | was
enwrapped in the long skirts that i'm
peded every footstep l have detested
walking, and felt with a certain noble
disdain that the conventions of life
had cut me off from what, in the free
dom of my prairie home, had been one
of MY dearest joys. Driving is not
real exercise; it does not renovate the
river of blood that flows SO sluggish
ly in the veins of those who from any
cause have lost the natural adjust
ment of brain to Drawn. Horseback
riding, which does promise vigorous
exercise, is expensive. The BIZ
cycle meets all the conditions, and
will, ere long, come within the reach
of all. Then there were three minor
reasons:
81 did it from pure natural love of
adventure.
Second, from love of acquiring
this new implement of power, and
literally putting it under foot.
Last, but not least, because a
good many people thought I could
not do it at my age"
Miss Willard regards the wheel as
a means of pleasure, a means Of
health and means of grace 1t is,
in her estimation, temperance re-
former, dress reformer. 1t is en-
blematic of the great wheel-the uni
verse. She has personified her wheel;
Gladys-such is the name by which
she calls it-possesses for hera soul, a
reasoning power, a will and a voice.
Said Gladys, on Miss Wizards first
attempt: II did not ask you tomount
or drive, but since you have done so
you must learn the laws of balance
and exploitation. Strange as
this may seem, you will do this best
by not trying to do it at all. You
must make up what you are pleased
to call your mind-make it up speedi-
ly, or you will be cast in yonder mud
puddle, and no blame to me, and no
thanks to yourself. Do not look
like an imbecile upon the steering
wheel Ill front of you. 1t is the
curse of life that nearly everyone
looks down. Look up, and off,
and on and out; get forehead and foot
into line, and latter acting as a ryth-
mic spur in the TANKS of equiiibrat-
ed equine; SO shall you win, and that
right speedily"

John w. rlartin Elected.

When the city council met last
week to canvass the returns of the

figured so largely in the Henshaw- Gull
Ter contestlast year, and which was held
by the court to be good 1t was
counted for Mr.. Martin making the
vote a tie in the ward At the Old
Jail precinct the vote was counted
three or four times by the commission
ers and was recounted by the council.
The vote was found to be as reported
and was SO counted. At that precinct
a ballot had been scratched with a
lead pencil and was very properly
thrown out as the law specifically pro-
vides that ballots must be marked
with pen and ink or indell,ble pencil.
1t was simply case of the voter ig.
noring the law, and as statutory laws
are construed strictly, the voter who
wilfully disobeys is not entitled to

the certificate was awarded to Mr..
Martin. Senator Faulkner, as coun.
sci for Mr. Proctor, took exceptions
to the action of the council. On {
contest several votes cast for Proc.
tor would undoubtedly be thrown
out, as several are known to have
been cast by parties who were mol
residents of the ward.
