BOOM THAT COLLAPSED.
Spooncr's Candidacy and Why It
Never Ripened.

One of the Presidential booms which
has died without even medical attendai *
aud the ensuing obituary notices is that
of ex-senator Spooner of Wisconsin. The
boom never attracted much attention here
aud ii is said that the principal himself
did not sit up nights watching over it.
1t now transpires that the SpoCner hoOm
was originated and pushed along by no
less person than ex-senator Sawyer, who
is one of the wealtmest p iitiCians in Wis
consin, and served several terms in the
United states Senate. 1t is stated that,
twithstanding he is more than eighty
years of age, he is again anxious to re-
enter public life as Il Senator. He has
spent nearly all OF this winter in Wash
ington. and his two daughters reside here
permanently.
sawyer aud SpOoner were until a few
years ago supposed to be very warm
political friends. Recently, however, it
is understood they have become estranged,
and unless they should find it necessary
to form an alliance, both offensive and Ge-
fensive, against Gov. Upham, there is a
possibility of considerable fri ction be-
tween them, and the outcome will be an
intere sting question OF the future.
