cartoonist, as well as the newspaper
writers generally, have been rather
considcrate of me. l do not permit
criticism Of any character to deprive
me of sleep. All newspaper sketches
have their place and their value"
President Hayes was deeply panied
whenever he was subjected to the ridi-
cue of caricaturists. lie banished
comic papers from the white house, be-
cause he did not want his wife to see
them. On one occasion Zach Chandler
came to Washington, and answered 4 re-
porter with the off-hand remark: Il
have come to Washington to run q
poker down the spine of the administra
ton" Very shortly afterwards a pic
ture paper appeared with cartoon
showing Chandler as u colossus, hold
ing the presidents beard with one hand,
while he jammed an immense poker
down the back of his neck. That was
exceedingly offensive to Mr.. Hayes.
Benton McMillin, Of Tennessee, says:
81 take everything as good naturedly
as possible in this life. But you may
be sure that it is not consoling to any
nan 70 see himself pictured as a
monkey, a baboon, or a treasury bur-
glar. However, l must confess that
the pictures are funny enough when
they are about some other fellow"
"Unclc Jerry Rusll, as the late secre-
tary of agriculture was called by his
friends, always enjoyed comic pictures.
He laughed long and often overa picture
which was published soon after he en-
tered the cabinet. The congress had
only month previously created the de-
partment of agriculture, and one day
he was jocosoly called 1.-The tail of the
administration" by Joe Cannon, of Hi
nois. The old farmer statesman re-
piled: "Well, Joe, you know that the
tail of this cabinet may keep the flies
off of the administration. Cannon
went OF, of course, and told the story.
Very soon afterwards q comic paper
pictured big cow, with Rusll's face,
swinging tell over the cabinet table
where President Harrison and the cabi-
net ministers were seated, while the
air was full of flies. Uncle Jerry
laughed heartily, but it made Mr.. Har-
rison very angry.
Attorney General Olney does not like
caricaturCs OF himself He is d very
digniicd gentleman, = lawyer, but not
politician. He was never in public
lie before, ond when he was recently
pictured as an owl, with 4 pen over his
ear, giving wise legal advice to Grover
Clercland, who l;aelt before him with
uplifted hands, praying for counsel,
Mr. Olnoy vas nearly frantic.
Ex-senator Ingalls, was always very
sensitive, but on one occasion he was
deeply ip2onsod. lie was the best pre-
siding officer the United States senate
had known in 4 generation or more. In
the chair he YVES dignity and equity in
carnatc. Nobody knew this better
than himself, for he w2s very vain
man. So when q comic paper pictured
hi1n as waving q Eayel frantically al
the grave and reverend scigniors Of the
senate. he was mortified. lie said: '"Thi:
) is unfair, indecent and outrageous
l marvel that there is no law to prevent
such shameful misrepresentation Of th(
senato.'
